So much has gone on in my little world since friday that I really have no where to begin but from the beginning. Last friday husband told me that we are indeed moving. So now I have to pack up my cluttered small apartment in the south and move to America’s “Heartland”. This is going to be so weird for me to leave all my family and friends behind and start a new life somewhere else without them. Family is a huge part of my life and I can’t imagine a day that I won’t be able to see them. Everytime I think about it, I get all teary-eyed. More on the whole moving thing later as the dreaded date draws near.

But on the subject of tears, Saturday I found out the most horrible, dreadful, unimaginable, shocking news that one never want to hear. I found out that a girl that was a childhood friend of mine had been killed tragically in a car accident friday afternoon. She was my brother’s age, 20. We would have sleepovers and play everyday all day long since I was a we little tot. My mind still can’t grasp the fact that she is gone. Like one minute she was here and the next minute she just ceases to exist. We never know how long we have on this earth, we are never guaranteed another second. I was unable to go to the funeral because of my little one but my mother and grandmother went. They said that they had never seen so many people at a funeral before. The whole entire funeral home was packed out all the way into the parking lot. Even the parking lot was full! She was truly loved by many. My mother said that when they wheeled her casket out of the room that all you could hear was a heart breaking scream from her mother. Can you imagine losing a child? I hope I never have to experience that pain.

Here is the article that was written in the newspaper about the crash. To protect the family I have smudged the last names of the family and some other information. I give full credit to the original writer of the article.

To top everything off, I have a stomach flu. I cannot stand for more than 5 minutes because I get very light headed and sick to my stomach. I’ve been throwing up since last night and just can’t seem to keep anything down. And to think that have the stomach flu wasn’t worse enough how about Aunt Mary decided to pay a visit as well. Uuggghh! I just feel horrible. I’m like a walking pepto bismol commercial right now…

“Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, Di-a-rrrrhiiii-aaaa. Yeah! Pepto Bismol.”

Well that is about all the time that my body has alotted me, Off to bed I go again. Gnight all. Until I regain my strength…

[edit] One last thing…I wanted to show you the t-shirt I made for hubby for Father’s Day. I did a freezer paper stencil of my son and painted it on a t-shirt. I’m still in shock as to how well it turned out. Did I really make this shirt?
