Have you ever gotten a phone call and before they said anything, you knew that it wasn't good news? That's what happened at our house today. My husband's twin boys were in a car accident along with two other boys. One died, along with one friend. He's been at the hopsital since. I went to the hospital for a little while with the baby, but she didn't want to sit still, so I came home. Hubby came home for a few minutes and said he was staying at the hospital with his other son for the night. The boys just graduated from High School on Mother's Day. The one that passed away joined the Army Reserves and was going to start college. He was too young - had his whole life ahead of him. It's not fair.

"God has a plan for everyone. We just don't always know what it is." That's what hubby's ex-wife said at the hospital. I told her and their daughter that if they need anything, please call. I'll do anything I can to help. He loves those kids so much and it kills me to see him go through this pain. I am just standing back in case he needs me, but trying to stay out of the way. So many things go through my head. How unfair this is - such young men. How the families are suffering so. The last time we saw them on Mother's Day at their Graduation. That my baby won't ever know her big brother. That my husband will always have a whole in his heart and no one can make it better. God I can't stop crying. I hate that he's not here. I want to hold him and take all his pain away. I still don't know all the details. At the hospital I heard bits and pieces. He called me at Noon and told me that he would be at the hospital still for a while because his son was going into surgery. At three he called and asked me to come and bring his insulin. My MIL told me that tons of the kids friends came to the hospital and that they are going to have counselors available to them. They were very popular.

I better try to get to bed. My son has a field trip and I have to drive him to the school at 6:30 am - I have to get all this kids up to get ready by 5:30 am. I wish you all a good week. I miss visiting - probably won't be able to for a while.

I'm still here. We are on our second child with the flu. It's the baby this time. Adelina had it Friday through Saturday, so hopefully Ariana has it only 24 hours as well. It's been busy around here. I hope to be back soon.

Hello! Thanks to Kris whoe gave me another sigtag. I love it - you can see it below. Isn't it great? Happy May Day a little late as well.

I can't believe it's Wednesday already. Time just flies by. I have not had computer time at all and I hate it! I need to figure out how to squeeze it in. I am still smoke free! WOOHOO!! Rob, Ariana and I went to some garage sales here over the weekend. I found lots of great books for the kids, a few clothing items, a board game and it was really fun. Oh and a loaf of zucchini bread - one of the neighbors had a little bake sale. Yummy!

It's May and school will be out the 24th. I have to work out a schedule for the summer so the kids and I don't drive one another crazy, plus I need to have some me time - for relaxing a bit and being on the computer. I have some ideas. I have printed off some activities for us all to do, word searches, coloring pages, math pages, etc. I have some fun outside ideas as well. I have to keep everyone busy or I will be a grumpy mom. They always get so bored in the summer - they say there's nothing to do, my friends are all on trips, they aren't home, I want to go here, I want to go there. They will spend a lot of afternoons at the pool but our pool is only open 1-5 pm. We are working on our yard too. Ughh - Ariana is getting into everything. I better go. Tomorrow I plan to visit everyone. Have a wonderful day!
