Baby It's Cold

Today is Monday, February 18, 2013.  It is so cold, this is what it should look like outside of my windows.  At least we could go sledding and enjoy the cold.  To be just cold is just no fun.  It is another gorgeous day outside and again gives the illusion that it is warm out there.

Today I seen that Mindy McCready committed suicide yesterday or last night, just so very sad, she was a whole 37 years old.  Everything I see someone has taken their own life, I just do not understand.  It said that her boyfriend had done the same thing not to long ago.  She leaves behind two little boys, one is just nine months old.  I have to ask what has been so horrible in a life that you feel you have to take your own. Is it drugs, alcohol mental disorders? What? Do we not have mental health ready available to people that want it? Is it in the genes? I heart so goes out to those two little boys who will grow up without a mama or in the youngest one's case, without both a mama and a daddy.  I just don't understand how you can be so selfish to do this to your children.......not to mention the rest of your family and friends.  My prayers are with those babies and the rest of her family.

Today is catch up day with odds and ends and maybe be able to get biscuits made for the week. Still need to put the mixed media journals together they are all but finished.  Didn't have yeast so I couldn't make my starter bread yesterday so I have it now and should have fresh starter bread sitting on the counter this afternoon.  Tomorrow is clean house day. It has to warm up to that I can get the laundry done.  I so dislike using the dryer, it makes the clothes smell funny and you have to use smell dryer sheets because of static.

Colors for the week:
Monday    Silver
Tuesday    Maroon
Wednesday    Topaz
Thursday    Crimson
Friday     Coral
Saturday     Brown
Sunday    Gold

Wishing everyone a tranquil day!

~Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live today!~ Brightest Blessing

    1. Becca that's what I was trying to say, the kids are what keep all of us moms going. Sure there are times we all just want to throw in the towel, but then you start thinking about the kids.....and the hurt that would be in those eyes of theirs.

  2. It is heartbreaking. Life is far too precious. And those poor little boys. Left as orphans. So sad that they will never have their mama with them again and being plastered all over the news, we know how cruel children can unknowingly be. I hope they are not taunted by others.

    1. Mary I know that the little one is nine months old and her boyfriend that committed suicide last month was his daddy. Yeah, kids are cruel without even realizing it. For them to have to go through just breaks my heart.

  3. Woe I didnt know she died. The poor thing has been going through many issues with drugs, alcohol and jail time. Unfortunately when they hit a low mentally or not they just feel lost, lifeless, and unloved so they figure their family is better off then suffering even more pain. Sad but true I know this, maybe if she had a good friend like you to pull her up she could of floated above it all. I love you Dede thank you for never giving up on me. xoxoxoxo

    1. Hey my friend! I was thinking about you this morning along about 5 after I shoved George out the door. I thought I was suppose to get a call from you a couple of days ago. I guess it's time for me to call you when George leaves and not wait for a check in call from you. I lost you and took forever for me to find you, ain't losing you again! I love you!

  4. Good morning! I hate the cold! Iam absolutely 100% ready for spring.
    When people with families take their own lives i feel really angry. My mom suffered from depression and used to threaten to kill herself and i guess this is why.
    I hope you will have a wonderful day and week!
