Randomness...

Today there is a jumble of thoughts in my brain begging for an escape. That happens sometimes. Me having a thought. It's always a little frightening when it does. Oh my! Anyway, Saturday night our neighbor's adult son, who lives at her home with her, overdosed on drugs and passed away. And we had to explain that to our kids because they play with his little boy. That's a hard thing to have to tell kids. I don't remember ever hearing my parents even talk of people who used drugs when I was a child. Maybe it's because it was even more taboo then. Who knows? It's all very sad. The father (neighbors husband) died a little over a year ago from a long battle with cancer, and now her son is also gone. I just wonder sometimes at the reality that life is hard and trials are unique to everyone. For example, I am not sure how I would be dealing with things if I was in her situation and she handles it all so wonderfully. Don't get me wrong, I am sure that she is hurting and struggling, but she doesn't appear to be. She just goes on with life. And see, I am the one or the kind rather, that gets all hung up on stuff and can't let go.

On a brighter note, we took the kids to see "Enchanted" this morning at the movie theater. Such a cute show! All about happily ever after. It was great! Not entirely realistic of life in any way, but a fun escape. My girls are all about Princesses and Jonathan was thrilled that there was swords and a dragon in the movie. Me...I got to sit by Mike, so it was almost like a date...except that there were 5 children with us. You win some, you lost some!

Check back to my blog soon (like in the next day or two), because I will be posting my "100 things about me" post to celebrate my 100th post. What else would I be doing it for?
