As much as I tend to bitch and moan when I am really busy, I really truly do function very well in a controlled chaotic environment. So even though I have more stuff to do than the hours in a day I feel pretty darn happy. For all the distasteful or annoying things I have to deal with I have so many things sprinkled in that just give me absolute joy and pleasure that it makes everything bearable.
Wednesday I got some incredibly bad news that I think I can finally let out of the "box" I needed to store it in in order to function and type about it. One of my co workers lost is 24 year old son in a car accident early Wednesday morning, he was with his older brother and they swerved to avoid a deer. His brother thankfully was hurt but is home from the hospital. My first thoughts were how incredibly unfair that a sweet man and a great family have to deal with such loss and pain and that I can't imagine having to deal with the loss of a child. But the reason for the "box" was that I really do know what thats like except I was lucky to have only had to experience that pain for a short period of time when I alomst lost my child and through the grace of god I was spared the eternal pain because I really don't think I could have survived it. My heart just hurts for them and if you read this just send a prayer up for them.
What good can come of a tragedy is that you remember to take nothing for granted, love a little fiercer, be a little nicer and cherish those around you. So that's what I will be doing!!!
On a happier note I love the flurry of friends and relatives that the holidays bring! I am so looking forward to seeing one of my best friends today, and hanging out with my girls this weekend. I have a full plate this weekend and i just cant wait i am bursting with excitement. I am off to shop in a few minutes, have a fabulous lunch out, tonight Liz is coming over and we are going to pack kits to get them out the door. Tomorrow night Liz, Li and I are going out to the club!! It's a full weekend and when I manage to do all of that and still keep the family fed, happy and safe I will feel like I climbed mount Everest. I'll bitch about how tired I am but it will all be worth it!!!
No scrapping or pictures today..just memory making LOL

So sorry for your friends lost. I most definitely will be sending out prayers.
Sorry to hear about your friend as well. Hope you gals had a blast at the club!!!
Prayers said. That is so very sad...
Beautiful tree, BTW. I haven't put ours up yet since we were hoping to be in our first house by Christmas, but we'll see.
LOL re: Every Jot and Tittle--I had to look it up to be sure it really was a word, but when I saw what it was,it all made sense! I love her stuff, too. My post probably sounded a tad bitchy about it, but that's just me trying to be funny.
It was great to see you! I am glad we had some time together! Talk to you soon.
