I Can't Believe He is Gone!

As I sat yesterday watching the evening news, I (as were many millions of people) stunned & shocked on the death of 

Robin Williams.

I grew up on Happy Days and then Mork and Mindy.  I watched his 

career grow as I grew up. There were so many, many amazing films 

that he was apart of. As I was thinking of some of my favorites, 

Good Morning Vietnam came quickly to mind. Another at the top of my list was Patch Adams.

Princess Shaney came home from being with friends and was talking to me about it and asked who he was. Knowing she knew who he was, I was surprised that she asked who he was. I told her he played Mrs. Doubtfire, she sat there repeating that title over and over, trying to recall the movie. When, at the same time we both said Jumanji!

When she asked me how he died, I told her, suicide. She was shocked! Which then surprised me since she had struggle so much last year with the same thing. She still struggles, but has been getting the help she needs and is doing a lot better.
Today, as I watch news shows and look at Facebook, it just shows how much he was loved by millions of people from around the world and all walks of life. * I changed from our local news station to ESPN to see if there were any updates on some sports things, the guys on ESPN were even talking about Robin Williams!
*The most important thing we need to learn from this tragedy is,
DEPRESSION is a real illness and it is time to do something about it. We have lost way too many good people to this disease and it needs to stop and it needs to stop now!
As we were watching a local news show tonight, they talked about depression and suicide ( this local station does this every couple of months), Mr. Hubs asked, with him being so famous, do you think this will turn into an ongoing awareness, like with Magic Johnson and AIDS? I told him yes! I sure as hell hope it does!! If anything can bring more awareness to suicide, this is it!!
I just hope it will.

I Have Been MIA, Again!

I was just thinking I had done a post for Pour Your Heart Out for a while. I started going through my blog and I just about died when I seen when my last post was, period!
My New Year's Resolution was to work on my blog, daily! And the last time I made a post since March on Princess Shaney's birthday! That is insane!
But let me tell you what I have been doing!

*I just started a photography class online, a couple of weeks ago. It has been a lot
  of fun and I have been learning a lot more, which is good because I just bought
  me a new $1400.00 camera!!! Yay!

*I have been spending so much time on my crochet and that has been so much fun! I
  can't believe that I made these!

                                    I made these cowboy (girl) boots for my
                                    nephew's new baby girl

I made this for this cutie for 

her 2nd birthday that is the 

end of this month.

I went from making hats, scarfs, and boots, to making this dress!! My next project

is a top for my niece & Princess Shaney that I found online and they both want one

really bad. When I get them finished, I will post pictures.

*Last Wednesday, The kids and I took a fast trip to Wichita, KS! It was a 2400    mile round trip, trip. That cute little girl (above) and her mom also went with us

 and she did really good. We left Sunday to come home, because I wanted to be  home on Monday, but we didn't get home until Tuesday night. It seemed like it  didn't matter what we did, something slowed us down. Severe storm warnings,    tornado warnings, winter storm warnings, road closures for accidents, officer  involved shootings. You name it, we had it. But we made it home and trying to 

 get back into a normal routine.

 The one bad thing, I took both cameras with me and I have maybe 20 pictures  from the whole trip and they were all from Denver when we were stuck in the

 canyon for 3 hours. So, they are all of the same thing (pretty much) just different 

 areas & shots. That really sucked. Guess you know who was doing all the  driving!

*Oh, one more thing, Princess Shaney hasn't seen her counselor in over a month!!

  Mostly because we have to keep rescheduling because we have had so many 

  things going on. But she has been doing awesome! I'll post more about that at a

  different time. Maybe when we go see in 2 weeks, he'll have her only start             coming in once a month!

Hope everyone has been having a good couple of months, because I actually have!

Happy Birthday, Baby!

See this beautiful girl? This is my baby. 15 years ago today, she came into our lives. We have had good times and bad times. But, I would not trade one day of the past 15 years for anything!

I love you and I am so glad you are a part of my life! Happy Birthday, my Princess Shaney!
