Randomness

I have had a lot of things running through my head today and I don't really know where to start.  I thought about trying to focus on one thing, but that just isn't happenin'.  I feel like I am the ball in the game of dodge ball.  I am thrown this way and that.  Slamming up against every thought, but not staying there long enough to remember anything or focus on anything for that matter.

My thoughts...

• I am saddened by the news of the earthquake in Japan.  My brother-in-law is there right now.  He wasn't affected at all by the quake.  My sister in-law and he used to live in Sendai.  An area that has found 200-300 bodies alone, according to CNN.  The magnitude of a 8 pointer is unfathomable to me.  I have been through a 5 pointer in Alaska and you could hear it coming.  It was so crazy.  Things shaking all around you and then it stops.  You fix the things that fell or went askew and you go on about your business.  But an 8.9 is life altering, forever.   photo from CNN of the Sendai Airport
• I feel like everyday I find out about another person who is sick.  Whether they are in the hospital for something, they have cancer, they have a family member who is sick... it could go on and on.  I just can't seem to get away from it.  It hurts my heart to think about it.  Because ultimately it reminds me of my mom and what happened to her body.  I want to remember how my mom was before getting really sick.   Not the days in the hospital.  But this is the way life goes I suppose.  Then I remember that I signed up to walk in Relay for Life.  To support cancer research.  So if you think about it and would like to support me, I would greatly appreciate it.  You can go to http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=pfind&fr_id=30135 and type in my name as a participant or 'Sheila Love' for our team name.
• I got my hair cut yesterday.  I like it a lot.  I didn't do anything crazy.  I don't think I am ready for that. Plus I like my hair long...for now.  I just needed to get the nastiness cut off the ends of my hair.  And no, I didn't get a color.  I know BORING.  But that is okay for me.  I had a wonderful time out without the kids.  I absolutely love getting my hair washed and my head massaged when getting my hair done.  Ahhh.  Soothing and relaxing. I also loved the gal who did my hair.  She was fantastic.  We laughed, I almost cried, it was a good time.  Thank you Rhonda at West 86th Hair Design!
• My son is going through (for the lack of a better word) a time.  He's four now and doesn't seem to want to listen so well.  So I am trying to come up with ways to bond with him.  To give him more 'good attention'.  And I am having a time trying to do that and take care of the girls at the same time.
• I am ready for Summer.  Spring is good, but it is still kinda nasty out.  Summer would be great about now.

Okay I think that is enough for today.  Of course, I only scratched the surface of my thoughts.  But you get the point.  I am all over the randomness today!
