3/30/09 Rough week…

Posted by lizhealthymom on March 30th, 2009 |Filed Under Uncategorized |

I haven’t been on here in over a week…last week was just a very rough week.  Found out last Tuesday I think it was, that the son of a casual friend of mine had passed away unexpectedly.  He did have some other serious health problem, but he had been doing very well..I’m not sure what happened exactly, all I know is that his mom found him in the morning and he had passed away sometime overnight.  He was almost the same age as Rhianna, and to make the situation even worse, I believe she had also lost a baby not even 6 months ago.  So I was reeling from that, when I found out later that week that a classmate of my oldest sons had been killed in a freak accident.  She and her little brother had been playing on some private property near their home when this concrete culvert they were playing on collapsed.  The girl was killed almost instantly and the brother was airlifted to a local children’s hospital.  He was release on Saturday.  It has hit our community hard..so many of us had kids that went to school with these children, or their siblings (their younger sister is in Nick’s grade).  I grew up not even 2 blocks away from where this happened.  It is just devastating and I cannot even begin to imagine what these families are going through.  And it was so hard to tell my kids what happened, even though they seemed to take it well.  Caden, my oldest, had a lot of questions, and I’m not sure how he will be when he gets to school this morning.   *sigh* 

I’m not sure this week is starting off so well either, as one of my dogs got loose again yesterday afternoon, and when she finally came home last night she reeked of skunk!  So I am off to get the littlest dressed and then we are going to go buy some stuff to hopefully de-stink the skunk.  I couldn’t sleep last night the smell was so bad…I think she got sprayed very near our house because when we started smelling it it was so strong and it happened so fast.  She’s been stuck outside all night and it still stinks in here!

Wish me luck that this week gets better!
