The weather was forecasting crazy weather last night, every thing from snow to rain and everything in between so we woke up with the hope and expectation of a snow day. \u00a0Before waking the boys, I checked the web which pronounced that buses were cancelled! Wahoo! \u00a0I looked outside and there was nothing. \u00a0Sigh. \u00a0So while the high school kids were off, I decided to drive the younger boys in. \u00a0No sooner did I get home when a ton of snow fell and coloured my world white. \u00a0Then the rain fell and it was so gross out and yet I love that look that God created with the freezing rain kinda weather. \u00a0So beautiful!!!<\/p>\n

So many miss matched thoughts were buzzing though my head today…<\/p>\n

***I was thinking of the verdict of the man that killed a grandfather and three little kids, his grandkids and the mom, as she expressed her pain and heart ache as he got just 5-8 years for impaired driving. \u00a0I can’t even begin to fathom… this mom’s life will never be the same. \u00a0Ever. \u00a0Stupidity and selfishness for any one who choices to drive and then drink… why would you ever take that chance, ever?<\/p>\n

***I was thinking of people that choose to end their life.. how much pain they must be in to do it… to jump or pull the trigger or… what ever method they use and yet what if tomorrow is better? \u00a0They never had that chance… On Facebook, I shared an article,\u00a0 “The Morning After I Killed Myself”\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 (click to read), the last paragraph made me pause… “The morning after I killed myself, I went back to that body in the morgue and tried to talk some sense into her. …….<\/em>The morning after I killed myself, I tried to unkill myself, but couldn\u2019t finish what I started.” \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

There’s always hope until you take that hope away. \u00a0It’s hard to get help sometimes, to pick up the phone, to renew your prescription, it’s hard. \u00a0Yet not impossible… ask for help. \u00a0Seek it. \u00a0I think that having a buddy system is a great idea… well it is for me. \u00a0You know, at AA, you have a sponsor… your “go to” person… why not have that with let’s say, mental illness (I hate that term). \u00a0I love that I have a friend, family member and shoot, even my own kids that will call me out… ask me if I am doing ok… and when I am acting crazy, they love me enough to ask… “Are you taking your crazy\/happy pill?”<\/em> \u00a0I realize that having that support is so important to my sanity. \u00a0I hate being so lax when it comes to my mental health but… that’s me, I guess!<\/p>\n

***I was really missing my boys being younger today. \u00a0I was thinking that in 10 years so much will be different. \u00a0I’ll be so close to 60 years old… HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???? \u00a0Josh will be 20 meaning Sammy will be 30 years old!!! That means \u00a0marriages, DILS, grand babies and so much more!!! \u00a0This thought came as I saw a couple of houses for sale the last months were SOLD… which got me thinking if this house we are in is are last home or will we move once more with the kids? \u00a0I won’t answer that because that would stress Sanj right out.<\/p>\n

***Sanj and I were discussing how much we are SO OPPOSITES \u00a0of each other!!! \u00a0I’m so glad that he is tolerate of my craziness, of me not being a morning person, of being a procrastinator, of being a hyper active person who never stops fidgeting… Oh I could go on… but I adore this guy!<\/p>\n

***Is it weird that I was craving KD? \u00a0As we are on a journey to better eating and better health, I found myself buying a few boxes of KD Creamy and thought of making it just for me while the boys were in school. \u00a0Weird right? \u00a0I know. \u00a0It’s the first thing I learned to cook. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Well, speaking of weird… today Max took a box with him to a friend’s home. \u00a0I asked him if he enjoyed it… he said he was curious how it would taste if cooked with chocolate milk. \u00a0I guess he learned that it didn’t taste so good. \u00a0I guess my weirdness gene is a pretty powerful one! \u00a0It’s being passed on… lol<\/p>\n

Ah… just a few thoughts from my crazy busy, never stops thinking, mind. \u00a0My boys surround me, wondering if tomorrow buses will be cancelled again? \u00a0I’d say at this point, it’s 50\/50. \u00a0Hope your day was a great one and your night even better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
