I woke up today with every intention of running before the funeral.

My husband and I are going to Florida this weekend for 5 days. (Just for fun) and one of my baby sitters called me and said she could not baby sit so we spent every minute up until we had to get ready finding some one else. (Our plane tickets are paid for)

The funneral was from 12-2 then we went to the grave side service,  after that we went to talk to some people about the boys we had because there are custody problems.

After such a sad very tearful day I just wanted to hold my kids and tell them how much I love them.

This man was so young and if he had any clue that that day was going to be his last he would have hugged all his kids and told them how much he loved them. He would have spent every last minute of his life with them.  I think sometimes we take our time here on earth for granted.

My thougths today are live life like there is no tomorrow. Work hard, love everyone around you, smile and say hi,  No matter how mad you are at your kids or loved ones tell them you love them and hug them every chance you get.

If you are headed down the wrong road fix it. Don't wait another day fix it now.      

So we took the kids out to dinner and just enjoyed each other.

I am emotionally drained. I don't think I have any more tears in my body and I would probley calapse if I ran right now.

I will come back strong tomorrow.
