I really would have loved to try for her hybrid team, but I'm just not sure I'd have enough "play" time for a hybrid team right now... All those supplies to pull out and put away! LOL

Which brings me to the sad news... Some of you all ready know, but Wednesday morning when I'm worried/excited/anxious about Micaila's first day of school I woke up to 2 emails and 7 missed calls... My mom is the 2nd oldest of 8 kids, and her older sister had been hit and killed by a car while walking her dog.

Westville woman dies after being struck by car

The calling hours are tonight and tomorrow morning, but it's a 2.5-3 hr drive one way so Mom told me not to try to make the hours tonight. Dad and I will be taking off with the kids at about 6:30 in the morning. Mike has to work as he has next Saturday off for an Alzheimer Walk.

We haven't told the kids yet. It'll be the 3rd funeral they've had to attend in the last 20 months. I've let Micaila's teacher know just in case anything odd happens to come out in class next week. I figured I'd wait until after school today to tell them though. We weren't very close with Aunt Joy, but they've had to deal with death quite a bit lately and this is the first violent one.

I think I've tied you up long enough. Gotta' go get some work done even though the boss is out of the office! LOL Thanks for stopping by, and have a good day!
