Are You CPR Certified?????

Well it was nice to have a three day weekend but I wasn't able to do anything that I really wanted to do, like work on the next kit, scrap stuff up for Clay's big day Friday, clean house (ok, this wasn't on my list), pack...this wasn't on my list either. However, I did have an eventful Monday. We were moving stuff around for a friend of mine and when we came back through town, I had to stop to feed the boys. I was pulling into Sonic and saw a lady lying on the ground, she had just bounced her face off the concrete when I drove past. I pulled around and parked on the other side. I saw her foot twitching so I thought she was having a seizure. I jumped out of the truck and when I checked her she had no pulse. No one else was certified in CPR so I started CPR. I worked on her for at least 4.5 to 5 minutes when the fire department showed up. They ended up taking her to the hospital and I turned to leave and noticed her husband standing there just lost. He wasn't from our area and I asked if he knew where the hospital was and he said no, then they put a baby in a carry all in the car and a four year old. I told him he could follow me to the hospital and I would sit in the ER waiting room with his girls. By the time we got to the hospital, she had a heartbeat and breathing. I was there with his girls for awhile and they were the sweetest things. When they were sending her for a CAT scan, the husband said he could handle the girls now because he had pulled himself together. We exchanged numbers and I left. At 10:30pm that night the police called me and told me to report to the station at 8am in the morning for questioning. I asked how she was doing and he said it didn't look good. I really thought that she would be okay because the CAT scan came back with nothing...no brain damage, heart damage, nothing. I showed up the next morning to find out that she had past away around 10:30pm. I felt horrible for the husband and her girls. It was really sad but I really thought she would make it.

When I began to perform CPR and no one was certified out of all those people, after it was all over I just wanted to go back to Sonic to tell them that they needed to have their staff certified because what if I hadn't been there. Even though she didn't make it, it still doesn't matter, more people need to get certified in CPR. I have been certified for many years now and this was the first time I had to use my training but even if you get certified and never use it....you may find one day that you needed to. So I would like to challenge all of you out there to get certified in CPR because you never know when someone's life may depend on it.

Memorial Day Wishes to All Fallen Shipmates....

On 9/11, the VFA 201 Hunters lost a fellow shipmate and pilot, along with his wife on one of the planes that were hijacked. Not many of you know this about me but I was recalled to active duty during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I was in the US Navy Reserves and attached to an F-18 Squadron..VFA 201 Hunters. I found the video of our Cruise on the USS Theodore Roosevelt on You Tube today while searching F-18 Videos with Denver. He loves the planes and is always watching my cruise video. For your viewing entertainment I am posting the links to the videos.

Part 1
Part 2

I am in the second song of Part 2, the 13th still picture. I have chains on my shoulders and one arm in the air, like rock on...
Part 3

To those that have fallen and to those whom have lost a loved one during wartime or peacetime, my thoughts and prayers go out to you as always. God Bless all on this Memorial Day Weekend.

Bundle of Joy-All about Girls

Well now that I am not crying on my keyboard anymore..dang movie. If you haven't seen PS I Love You...I give it two tissue boxes. It will give you the warm fuzzies and probably want to walk in and kick your better half for not being like the wonderful Irishman in the movie. Well at least I would if he still lived here so instead I am just going to go eat some chocolate and stew over finding a man like that one or is he gay.....I know Kim, I am praying about it. This is one thing I won't stand and say I am not praying about this because I am. I made the mistake of one day telling Kim that I was not going to pray over something and she just laughed and said let me know how that works out for ya. We still laugh about that one. Well I am now on to 27 Dresses, see there is one good thing about being single, I get to watch all the chick flicks without hearing anything about it.

So who wants the Ribbon and Such part of the kit....ok, here ya go.

Take care, have fun with the kit and I am starting a collection of layouts to post on my blog so if you would share those and I will add them to the collection for the slideshow. Good Night all...

PS I Love You Movie

Wow...where is my Love Sick Irishman? (I know he dies in this movie, but what a story.) Guess my heart just wasn't ready for this movie...However Harry Connick Jr. isn't a bad second to a singing Irishman that will do a dirty dance for ya after a fight. Going through this divorce, Kim had me make a list of what I wanted in a husband, so I did. I really don't think this man exists and if he does I think he is probably gay. I can so relate to her in this movie, they say going through a divorce is like the same emotions of a death. You would think I would be a pro at this seeing how I was married at 16 and had my first son then divorced...stayed single for a while then remarried, had my had second and third son...yup...divorced. Well the I thought I had the love of my life and life couldn't be better, well you know the rest...divorced, well not yet but working on it. This isn't one of those pitty party posts don't think that is where I am going with this. I am doing well but I still have a long way to go but I am not where I used to be. Maybe that is what is wrong with me....I am looking for the Love Sick Irishman (or any Love Sick man) or Harry but they are only in movies. My thoughts are why not look for it? I mean if Kim has me make a list then why not put everything that I want on it but at what point do I have to look at the list with the reality of this world. I know I won't find the man that my list requires because there are some things on this list that I just don't think any man out there would do and if he did, once again I think he would be gay. OMG...he sent her to Ireland. I dream of going there. The Irish in me drives me to want to be there. Well I am going to end for now on this discussion because it is just getting to the point of weird..one should not be posting on their blog, discussing a movie they are watching while doing it. I really do have a life just not tonight...Oh lord that accent...ok I am going now.

Bundle Of Joy-All About Girls Papers 2

Well it is Friday and what a week it has been. I finished up the paperwork on the new place, worked my tail end off, and seem to have a new annoying habit of waking up three to four times a night. I mean I can wake up and be wide awake at least three or four times a night ...this is so frustrating because when it is time for me to actually wake up, all I want to do is sleep because I am so tired. I have busted my tail on the kit and finished up another set of papers and a set of elements. I am posting the papers tonight and will post the elements tomorrow. Denver and I will be going over to the new place to meet Dad. Guess he wants to look at the window, wall and floor that needs to be replaced. He even talked about putting a new (bigger) window in my bedroom...that would be cool. I think he is bored and wants to get busy on the house, plus Denver hasn't seen it yet so it will be neat to show him his new school and everything around the house and what we are going to be doing to it.

Kim is now nicknamed Bitchy, Itchy, and Scratchy...we have both been bitchy the last couple of days (I am sure all work related) and she is itchy and scratchy because we started tanning and Miss Thing was in the oven just a little to long...of course I did the same thing but I just walked around scratching my butt. I spent tonight helping Clayton look for his new home for college and this is just to hard to deal with. I think I have him thinking more about an apartment instead of a house. We found one that is across the street from the college and he seemed to be real interested so here's hoping. So how about that Freebie.......
