How To Go On

My moms soworker from Wal-Mart was in a very serious accident a few days ago, in the accident both her small daughters were killed...they were 2 and 7. I t was such a tragic accident that could have been avoided if police on the scene of the staled truck had posted warning signs behind, the stalled truck happend around a blind cornor, after the police arrived a truck came flying around the cornor into her stopped car...in the pictures on the news there was no backseat left and very little front. The babies were beautiful.

this leads to how does a person go on from there? How does a mom live her life without her babies? I don't think I could, yet I believe the moms who can are beyond strong...It has been such a rough week for so many people, and this poor woman has to bury her babies today. The store is helping with the costs and the employess at all the local Wal-Marts have given money as well as holding fund raising events to help with the costs...I just can't fathom what shes going through, I don't understand how things like this can happen, how a truck driver going over the speed limit can walk away with no injuries, yet the truely innocent are gone...
____________________________________________________________
My litte cousin C is also having a hard time...the marriage is not a good thing for him, they had to get out of their apartment because of the men who jumped him...and now they are living with his mom in a 2 bedroom apartment that already had 4 people living there. I hate that he has to go through so much crap and never gets the happy ending he deserves. To be 17, married with a baby on the way...hes so not ready for any of it, and trust me when I say shes not ready at all...its a rough road a head for these 2, I just hope that somehow things will work out for him, before we loose him.

Ashley is still counting calories and exercising her little ass off. I worry so much about her. She is so beautiful, smart and funny...I hate that she doesn't see it. I see so much of myself in her that I panik at times. She is changing more and more every day. she has a perfect hour glass figure, with these curves that she shouldn't have lol, shes just to young, lol shes my baby...I know she is growing up, I just wish shed slow down a little...

She wants to shave her legs, I am thinking ofgetting her the Vett stuff that requires no blade lol...see her Daddy is Indian/Hispanic my family is Dad is white my mom is Greek /Egyptian...some how she skipped her dads heritage completely and took after the Greek big time...she may look like me in her features, but shes got olive skin and big blue eyes...she has dark hair and dramaticly shaped eyes...she is gorgeous :o) so with the whole Greek heritage she got the dark hair on her legs and such lol, so I may let her get rid of it, I didn't shave till 8th grade, no make-up till I was 14...but I guess times have changed.

She has make-up, I have tought her about moderation, she wears ligt shadow and lip gloss...she has all the stuff, but she only plays with it all on weekends, I will not let her go to school like that. She got such a bad sunburn at the water park last week, its peeling, but its so raw and red still. She tans amazingly,, but 8 hours in the water with no reapplying of the sun block leads to OUCH lol...

She is into the whole spa bath experience now, I have the bath bombs, the good smelling soaks and all the stuff to make you feel great in a bath and out of it, she has been doing so as well, its so cute to watch her. She has been reading Teen Cosmo, Seventeen and all the teen mags out there, trying to find a look she likes, its so wierd seeing her like this, I was never a make-up person, I was a huge tomboy...so its all new to me and I am learning right a long with her...

Well I need to get some things done so I will update the rest later...till then I hope all is well...and remember to hold your little ones extra close tonight

that is a thought I could never imagine carie. Many prayers for that mother.
I still envision that red haired lady from the oklahoma bombings. Both of her baby boys were in the daycare and were killed. She had both their teddy bears at the funeral and afterwards they showed their rooms left the way they were. Truly heartbreaking. Something I Never in a million years wish to go through
Prayers for them and love to you

I am so sorry to hear about the loss... I too think I'd not be able to live. How harrowing.
Good luck to your cousin, I hope he knows how much family cares for him.
As for Ashley, girls grow up so very fast these days. She sounds like a knockout on the way babe, just like her mom!! Many hugs to her and YOU babe, to see a baby grow up seemingly overnight... *sigh*

(((hugs)))

carie, this is just awful about your moms friend. what the hell were the cops thinking not to move everyone off to the other side of the road. I'm so sorry.

sounds like a lot of stresses for your whole family. it gets to be too much.

ash is ok, all the young girls want to experiment. when hilary was 12 she bugged us to death to shave her legs, (she has blong hair) we finally gave in. two times later she announced that she hated it. LOL
she shaves now, but only when she wears a dress or goes swimming.

have a good day.
give your mom a hug from us.

That is so sad about your mother's co-worker! I don't know who anyone could live after losing their children, but I sure hope this woman does well.

Thank you SO much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a supportive message. It really helped boost my spirits!

I am so sorry about your mom's friend. *hug*

Ashley sounds so cute. If she wants to shave her legs, she's probably being teased or hearing about it already. The Veet kit sounds perfect!
