doll show day and then total sadness

Hi girls! Well today didnt go quite as planned. both natalea and Jenny had things come up and were not able to go out to play.. (boohoo!) But my daughter Bethany and I went off for the day together instead. Bethany isnt really into dolls. But shes a good girl and was patient with her mommy while she looked around the show. Bethany likes baby doll type dolls, more realistic and newer looking, rather then the beat up old ones that her mama loves!

I did manage to pick up a few for some pretty cheap prices.. most of the money I spent was on the two tiny babys . I always try to find a tiny baby when I go to the doll shows. I also bought a couple of other dolls that arent shown.. one is a surprise for someone for easter and the other is going in the easter basket that I'm putting together for a giveaway here, which I will show eventually! and did you see the little half dolls for making pinkeeps? cant wait to play with those!

Bethany and I did the doll show, went to wendys for lunch then hit up Maurices, Target, and Micheals before going home. Both of us were exhusted and it really had only been about 4 hours or so out. We figured it was because we have both been so sick. I am feeling 96% better.. there is still some room for improvement but I'm much better. I was supposed to go see the musical "Into the Woods" tonight, but I decided to skip it, I really am to tired. I went out last night because my daughter Jennifer was singing in a concert. She was the best one there.. (im biased.. but even with out being biased.. she really was. the girl can sing!)


Listen to me going on and on about such totally unimportant things. A Horrible Horrible thing happen last night and all day long Ive been getting twinges of this horrible sick pain and nauseousness thinking about what members of my husbands family are going through right now. Tonys cousin and her husband are living a parents worst nightmare. Their 17 year old son was killed in a DWI accident after 2:00 this morning in Rochester. I can not fathom the absolute retched agonizing pain they are feeling. Or the pain of the parents of the 18 year old girl that he was with that was drunk driving and has been charged. there was also a 21 year old in the car. the other two had minor injuries, but Joey was ejected from the car when the girl hit a tree and flipped it. I just am soooo sick about it. YOu know we worry about our kids and pray for them and talk to them and lecture them and try to teach them, but it only takes one stupid mistake. this could happen to any of us. Joey was graduating this year. Please keep his family in your prayers.

well.. now what.. that is just sad.. I would like to lighten things back up.. but for now I think I'll just leave it alone. Because in the scheme of things.. nothing else really matters right now.. not dolls, or crafts, or pretty things.. I cant imagine how Debbie and her husband and joeys little sister are dealing with this at all.

lets all just love on our kids tonight!

hugs to you all!
