SPF: Shaun’s Bright Idea…

Shaun, who is DEAD asleep next to me, decided he was going to SPF this week.  I see that he didn’t do SPF.

The last two days hit us with a curve ball we weren’t expecting and honestly it’s not something I want to talk about here or anywhere else for that matter. It’s something I want to put behind me and move on.  I’m not sure if I can ever erase the feeling it has given me in the pit of my stomach for the past 24 hours.

Shaun took today off so we could mentally take in the blindesiding we got and honestly I think the last thing he was thinking of was Stuff Portrait Friday. I don’t blame him. I have been popping Xanax like Tic-Tacs.

For the past month a few things have added to the weirdness.  Less than a month ago while out in the woods, my father came across a dead body.  My mother listens to a scanner and knows all the codes (yes, she is that cool) and when it was reported in it had the code of ‘dead body found’ and then my father’s address.  I can’t imagine what that would be like.
The Christie Wilson case is starting jury selection.  A body was found in the woods, but they can’t be certain it’s hers.
Shaun’s cousin-in-laws’ dad fell from his roof and is in a coma.  While dealing with that, the same cousin-in-law’s cousin died.
A woman from Shaun’s work lost her soon-to-be ex husband in a motorcycle accident. They have two children that are destroyed with grief.

Just when you think the world around you is going crazy, but you still have the safety of your family…you’re blindesided.

I’m not going to talk about it.  Just know that everything is going to be fine.

To my family that didn’t get a phone call from me today, i’m sorry…it’s just been a  ‘hide under the cover day’.  I will call you today and tell you what’s going on. I promise.  Christina, I love you. Thank you for your message. I love hearing your voice on my machine.  Thank you for coming back into my life.

Someone asked, “What song always makes you cry?”  Just to be close to you by the Commodores.  It just seems fitting that this song would come on as I am typing this.

Cheer me up, Tell me you played.

    Ok – after reading that the last thing I feel like doing is playing a silly SPF game. My goodness! Sounds very very serious and scarry and now of course I keep thinking of your kids and hoping you are all ok.

    Ack.

    I planned on playing today… but suddenly it doesn’t seem as fun and silly as it should!

    :)

    Sorry everyone!! When I chose TV as the theme, I didn’t intend to make this a “very special” SPF. I’m claiming brain overload.
