Another random post

I can't decide exactly what I want to post today.  I have lots of 'stuff' running through my head.  I hate to be Debbie Downer, but (1) I'm PMS'n (I know, TMI) (2) My husband's grandmother passed away this morning (she was almost 95, not unexpected, but still sad) (3) The news was filled with such heartache this weekend.  Of course, I learned abt the shooting in AZ on Twitter.  I rarely watch the news.  I feel really bad for all the victims and their families...but what has hurt my heart the most was the little 9 year old girl who was killed.  NINE years old.  The same age as my oldest daughter.  The poor kid was probably standing around thinking that the event was kind of boring or what she was going to do afterwards or the numerous things kids do.  And all of sudden, she's dead.  Because of some psycho freak.  Yes, he may be mentally ill.  He may need help.  Whatever.  People are dead and one person is responsible.  I can't even begin to imagine the pain the families are experiencing.  But to lose a child....I can't bear the thought.  So, that's what on my mind today.  Sorry.

I also created a blog button, which I think is pretty cute.  But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do the whole code box thingy.  So people can 'grab my BUTTon'.  Haha, I've been wanting to say that.  If anyone is computer literate and willing to give cheap (as in FREE) advice on the whole coding thing, let me know.  But it needs to be in a 'Guide for Dummies' format.  In other words, very simple for me to follow b/c all this computer crap is over my head. 

It's also very grey outside, not helping the mood.  It's supposed to snow later today - the kids are even getting out of school 2 hours early.  I don't know what to make of all this snow.  This is NC!  Mother Nature must be PMS'n too.  I think I need chocolate.  I feel a recipe post coming on ;)  I promise to eat chocolate be a little less perky tomorrow.  <--sarcasm.

So anyway, if anyone is still reading and hopefully not contemplating jumping off a bridge after reading my depressing post, thanks.  I actually feel better now.  I think I'll go make some hot chocolate, sit in front of the fireplace, and cuddle up with my little Mr. Two.  (Who am I kidding?  I have loads of laundry to do, a sink full of dishes, and the girls will be home early!) 

Happy Monday.  Peace.
