why?

I can understand a lot of things in life...i deal with death at work almost every day. what i can't understand is what could make a 12yr old decide to take their own life. one of todd's friends died yesterday. the rumor is that he was found in his room after he hung himself. what could possibly make a 12 yr old child decide that was the only answer?

greetings and salutations

hey there peeps! all three of you..lol. life is going well, kids are doing great. todd made honor roll for the first time since 3rd grade, erin of course continues to do well with school and has designed a christmas card. i bought a box because it was a great card and also because she's excited to be "published" most of you know that erin loves to draw, so this is a big deal for her. normally i would never pay 15 dollars for a box of 10 cards..but it's not everyday that your little girl gets published. i'll try to add the picture on here..but i'm not sure how i'll do.

facebook peeps...sorry if i have disappeared from your list..i didn't delete you, somehow my friends list went crazy and deleted almost everyone. send me an invite and i'll re-add you.

sports are finished for now, but will start up again around feb or march. they seem to be sticking with soccer and baseball, so that makes me happy. don't have to buy a bunch of new stuff :)

work is going well, i'm training a new graduate right now. she's almost finished with day shift and then she'll move to night shift with a different nurse. the chair thing is working out well. getting alot of compliments and learning the ropes on rubbing elbows with higher ups. we had a fancy lunch thing last friday (UK's 20th annual research papers day) met a bunch of people that already knew who i was-so that was different. i'm pretty sure i used the wrong fork though. oh well, you can take the country girl to the city, but you can't take the country out of the girl :)

hope all is well with everyone and have a safe and happy turkey day!

love
j
