another sad week...
This week has been a hard week. A person I went to highschool with, have known for most of my life, and ran in the fire department with him, his brother and his dad was killed in Afghanistan last Tuesday. His father, Jeff passed away in 2003. You may have seen it on the news, he was one of 3 DEA agents killed in Afghanistan when their helicopters crashed. His name was Chad Michael and he was 30 yrs old. He is a true HERO. He is the type of man that I will teach my children about.
Rest In Peace Chad, may the angels light your way to heaven where you surely belong, I hope that you are reunited with your dad. Look down on us and smile knowing how much we love you and honor you. You are a true American Hero and we will honor your memory forever. You are the hero I will teach my children about and honor. Know that your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

mourning the loss with another mommy.... and blissfully thankful
Today, I am saddened. A friend on a board I am on, a blog that I follow {and one of my followers as well} lost her husband late last week- her best friend and her soulmate. The father of her children. She is so young, and is now a Widow, and now a single mother of 4.
I can't even begin to fathom the depth of her loss, or her children's loss, but in this moment I am blissfully thankful for my hubster- and as I posted on facebook this weekend, everything I was irritated about 2 days ago, a week ago, hell a month ago is forgotten. All is forgiven. he was telling me just this am about a near head on accident he almost had on the mountain and all at once I was terrified. He kept saying "Chrissi, it wasn't my fault" well that is not any consolation if hes not here..... Well thank you but it wasn't HIS fault..... that wouldn't make him any less gone. and I am just not strong enough to raise the kids on my own without him. This I know.......
So for today if everyone could just say a prayer for Joanna and her family....... here is her blog... her husband's is also on my blog roll... Barry the Blade as I have been reading his blogs for awhile as well.......

take care, and hug your loved ones tight today!

countdown.........to.......GREY's
How many of you girls are watching? admit it..... how many?
<~~~~~Raising hands... ME ME ME ME~ I will be watching it!
I am going to be in Boston for a Hospice/Palliative Care conference for work but have already told the hubster that in light of sight seeing on Thursday night I will hole myself up in my bed at the HILTON...which by the way ladies I will probably never ever get to stay in again in my lifetime...with some good take out and watch Grey's.
Because who doesn't want to see how it plays out with the whole George and Izzy dying, who isn't dying to see how it ends? Seriously...... who isn't going to put aside everything to watch on Thursday night? why? because its what JESUS WOULD FREAKIN DO!!!!!!!!!!!! in the words of Isobel Stevens....
oh and one more disclaimer before I end this blog... there was a rather nasty comment to one of my last postings... I am FAIRLY sure I know where it came from, pisses me off either way- because the person who posted really lost all rights to judge me or anyone in my family a LONG time ago. I just want to clarify- I do what I do FOR my family. I go to school to make a better life for my kids, I volunteer at my kids school, I put my kids to bed each night, dinner is made each night and I do whatever I can to make the best for my family. not one person has the right to judge or act holier than thou or tell me lines should have been drawn a long time ago, because really, shes right - a line was drawn a long time ago, and it wasn't me that drew it...but hey I won't play that game. I wish that I could be a stay at home mother, unfortunatley I can't. i am just thankful to have a stable and secure job. Because god forbid, if something were to happen to my husbands job or my husband I would be able to support and take care of my family.... would YOU {and this person knows who they are}...be able to say the same.????????
My children love me, my husband loves me and really at the end of the day...thats all that REALLY freaking matters. so really... if you don't like what I write or who I am, you don't have to read. and thats all.....

I have become one of those......
you know..one of those bloggers, who drop off the face of the earth, stop blogging and leave people hanging. Although I am quite sure that i only have one or MAYBE 2 followers- I thought that I was blogging for my own sanity, and for my children to read later on so that they can REALLY know what their mamma was thinking when they were little and they were all in my way when I was trying to do my homework, or cook, or house work and yelling at them at the same time to "get out of my kitchen, let ,me do my homework, do YOUR homework, for the love of god EAT your food, or my personal fave these days... please please just POOP in the potty. " Somehow these last few months I have lost myself. Only to find myself buried in my school work, J's school work, P entering Pre-K, Wy going through seperation anxiety of P entering Pre-k, trying to spend time with the family while trying to balance working midnights and school, balancing the friends that understand that I have a ummm exscuse the language "shitload" of well...shit going on, and the friends who don't get it and choose to call me out on it, oh yeah throw in a traditional naming ceremony for both J and I in this summer, a 23 hr drive to Wisconsin, and oh yeah... a almost 5 yr old who still will not SHIT in the potty and you have yourself a very available Chrissi.
A Chrissi who for the first time in 3 years actually WENT to a salon to get her hair cut in a very stylish short, stacked bob {yes it was 20 inches that was donated to locks of love...thank you very much} a Chrissi who for the first time in 3 years WENT BACK to the salon 4 weeks later to get said hair cut trimmed and flat ironed and who bought products from the Salon to keep her hair that way. This is a Chrissi who is going to Boston this week for a conference for work that while I am sad to leave my three little fledgling with their daddy and worried that he might be able to handle it.... well.. he will just have to deal. and when he mentioned to me today that he was sad that I would not be able to go to his 20th highschool reunion this week, I almost laughed at him... I mean SERIOUSLY? you gofishing, hunting, play your music... blah blah and I get what? to go to work and school... yeah I feel bad for YOU. So yea I am excited about going to a conference for 2 days in Boston without you... and without the kids.... and I won't be back in time for you to show off your gloriously fat wife to all your buddies at Marshall? Awwwww... I am devestated~!!!! Oh you have to figure out what to do with the kids and who will watch them so you can take your ass to see people that you haven't seen in 20 years and probably are fat too? again... so sad... I met one of your highshool buddies last year rememeber? we went to some club, I met him and his sister, talked to him about things I didnt even find interesting and then we had to go find him in a van while he smoked up to tell him good bye.... good times man...good times......
Hell I didn't e ven go to MY 10th class reunion... why would I want to take myself to yours? But ok... if it makes you feel better that I act all sad and dismayed that my flight won't get back into Dulles until `1145 and I will miss the tour of the school, the big ol Marshall Football game, and the happy hour? yeah,..... lets roll with that.... I can play that game........
