Right now, how sad Ladytex. It's really just heartbreaking to lose someone so young and to have even younger kids witness it happen.

Right now I've learned that the kid was not racing. He was speeding because he was going to be late for football. He said he didn't see her, which I can kind of believe because of the sun at that time of morning in that area in the direction he was driving. This is a good kid, and I know that this will haunt him for the rest of his life. I feel so bad for the family of the girl, I hope they get those kids into counseling quickly. Today was her 17th birthday ...

Right now I'm glad it wasn't racing, it's still a tragedy for everyone involved.

right now, how sad, ladytex. i remember when i was a sophomore or junior in high school. a very quiet boy was driving past the high school in the morning and looking to see who saw that he was driving/had his license and failed to stop for a student in the crosswalk. that student was killed. all these years later, i still worry about the boy who just wasn't paying close enough attention. it has to have affected him for the last 35 years...
oh, if we could just undo those few seconds.

right now, i hate waiting for repair and maintenance people. we were supposed to have our water softener serviced and they called twice yesterday to remind me it would be between 11:00 and 1:00. i know it's only 1:30, but i have a zillion things to do and didn't want to start painting my dd's room and have to semi-clean everything up while the guy was here...the paint would dry out, i would have to wrap the brush and roller in plastic wrap, the cats would probably step in the paint tray and traipse palest pink all through the upstairs carpeted rooms....harummmph and frappincrap!
so i haven't started painting and no word from the water softener company.

Right now, I am excited because I found out that we close on our new home tonight. Of course, we won't be moving in until I can leave Nevada, but we at least have a place to send our stuff.

Right then, LadyTex's story caused me to think of Crystal and start crying again. I hate losing our kids to a few seconds of inattention.

Right now I'm trying to think of the name of the book for kids about dying, the one about the leaves falling from trees or something. I have seen the book and read the book and now that my sis needs it I can't think about the name of it. Anyone know?

Here's a site with several suggestions, maybe one of them is the one you're looking for.

Thats not the one I was thinking about but I'll pass it along. My oldest niece told sis and bil at bedtime that she wants to go visit grandma Denise in Heaven. She doesn't quite understand why she can't.

Right now SoCal (Chatsworth area) is buring....3500 hundred acres so far and apparently one house has been lost.

When I left work this evening, it was so hot outside...like a blast of dry heat coming right at me.

Right now, War, I have The Fall of Freddie the Leaf under my pillow. It's been there since I found out about Crystal.

Right now Coco, I saw that on the news awhile ago. It's only 5% contained.

I'm hoping it's a good book for her, Lk. This is the first time she's really asked questions or commented (other than the typical "I miss Grandma" stuff) and it really upset sis and bil. Er, not about her asking questions or talking about it, but that she told them she could die, go to Heaven to visit grandma and come back. She's only 6, but she had been involved in a chlidrens grief counseling group and lots of family talks so it was kind of a shock to them to realize she still doesn't understand that death isn't temporary.

Lady, I'm so sorry to hear about the student at your kids school.

Right now, War, I would suggest having other examples that she can observe and see the permanence.

Six is still a young age to be sure that death is permanent. I PM'ed you part of a letter I sent to my niece. She's 16, but you might still be able to use the puzzle example.

Right now I am starting a new day. I didn't have any coffee in the house so I went and spent 20 minutes to get a coffee from the Starbucks down the street.
Right now I am lol, because the girl was so off on my name that my cup actually says Susan.....Susan? I repeated my name to her three times and after hearing Jamie, Jamie, Jamie she said "Ok, Susan it will be right up"

Silly youngins....

Right now, the SoCal "Chatsworth" fire is now being called the "Topanga" fire due to the growth of the area and the direction it's moving (mostly south right now). They are estimating 10,000 acres and still only 5% contained. This photo is taken from the area near the Ronald Reagan Library looking south.
