I figured it was time to update this just a little bit. When I first joined BON, it was close to the one year anniversary of my husband being killed. Now, it's close to the two year anniversary. Alot has changed in one year.

*I'm not afraid to leave my home anymore.
*I have learned to "act." -- and very well, I must say.
*I know who my real friends are.
*I am finally comfortable taking my daughters to dinner alone.
*I wear a widow ring instead of a wedding ring.
*I have mastered my new roles and do them quite well!
*I don't mind the sun in my face.
*I can mow a mean lawn -- lol!
*I can better deal with my daughters' grief, now that I have a slight handle on my own.
*My energy level is better now. Getting dressed doesn't exhaust me anymore.
*Other widow(er)s I have come in contact with talk to me and I "get it."
*I am extremely forgetful now.
*I can talk about Rick and not cry all the time.
*My tears do not flow as often or as heavily as they once did. But, they still flow and flow hard.

What has not changed in one year --
*I miss him everyday!
*He is who I think of when I first wake up and he is still the last thought before I close my eyes at night.
*My daughters' daddy still lives in Heaven.

Saturday, April 5, 2008 -- My daughters and I were leaving church that evening. I had my phone on, but the ringer off, waiting to hear from Rick - he was to text me when he was back in town after leaving work. As were leaving church, I noticed a missed call. I played the voicemail. It was a deputy telling me to call another number. I called that number as I was putting our daughters in the van. A woman answered the phone and informed me that my husband had been involved in a motorcycle accident and had been killed ... Now, I had to tell my 6 year old and my 9 year old daughters that their daddy wasn't coming home ...

Rick Peterson -- December 1957 -- April 5, 2008
Forever With Me and Our Girls

** On June 16, 2009 -- 14 months and 11 days after the collision -- The woman who was driving the car that cut off Rick was found GUILTY of vehicular manslaughter by a jury of her peers! Rick is pleased as am I. Rest peacefully, huband. I love you and still got your back! **

**July 24, 2009 -- The defense tried and tried but failed. J.Kelisnky was sentenced to JAIL. I am satisfied! The exact time she will serve is not as long as she should, but the fact that she received any JAIL time is huge. Ride in Heaven, Rick! All is well here! Peace on the homefront has begun and will continue -- this I promise to You!!!**

**September, 2009 -- Peace interrupted. She has filed an appeal and has retained a third attorney. They have ordered all the court records and is appealing on the grounds that she wanted to testify at the trial, but was advised not to. Makes no sense to me. Her jail time has been "stayed" pending the appeal. Should she win her appeal, she may receive a new trial. I say BRING IT ON! I will not rest until this woman is convicted permanently and the verdict sticks!! She has chosen to exercise her rights and that is fine. She shall LOSE again! I will be at every hearing for every motion as I was the first time around. I will not let you down huband or our girls. I will not stop until justice prevails -- that's a promise!! Love you!!!**

everything happens for a reason

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I'm not here looking for men or women for that matter--simply put--just friends.

I am a widowed mom to two beautiful daughters who are my everything! My world revolves around them. I am a homemaker and I do EVERYTHING! If I don't do it--it doesn't get done. My daughters come first, then the cat and somewhere along the line -- I get some "me" time. I am very protective of my girls and my family. Don't get me wrong--if one of my girls falls, scrapes a knee or bumps her head because she wasn't listneing to mama -- then dang, I'm sure that hurt, huh? I will still kiss it and make it feel better of course -- that's what mommies do! I am protective of their emotional well being more. My daughters have been through more than most people will experience in a lifetime. If something inappropriate is said in front of my daughters, to my daughters or about my daughters--you just f*cked up, big time!

I am on a mission to get laws changed regarding vehicular manslaughter--usually charged only as a misdemeanor here in the state of California. This is unacceptable. I am going to do something about that. You watch and see!

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." Anaïs Nin

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." Mohandas K. Gandhi

"Tomorrow never comes because it's always today." Rick Peterson (My Husband)
About Me:
I pretty much said everything already. Here's a few more things about me:

I'm 5'10"
Blonde hair, Green eyes, 145 lbs. fit &
athletic. I used to play alot of sports back in the day. I am the Co-Coach of the volleyball team and the Coach of the girls' basketball team team where my daughters go to school (5-8 grades). I'm also a Room Mom, the Athletic Director, Librarian and teach PE to my daughters 2nd grade class. All that is 100% volunteer work -- which I love.
I usually have an opinion on everything. That has gotten me into trouble in the past. Now, I'm not so quick to express them. Unless, it is what needs to be said. I have learned to mind my P's & Q's -- LOL! Death with both humble you and harden you. What you once thought was important is NOT. I have learned not to sweat the small stuff anymore.
You can mess with me all you want -- mess with my girls, or anyone I love for that matter and I will not hesitate to drop you on your ass!

Now onto the Friend Request situation -- I am not here looking for numbers. I am not here trying to win a popularity contest. I actually correspond with those that are my Friends here. Some I have actually met and am thankful that for that! If you'd like me to accept you as my friend, than please send a message along with your request. If you are all about the numbers -- then by all means -- keep on keepin' on. Thank you, though for stopping by.

One last thing about me. I am NOT a divorcee. I don't get every other weekend off or one night a week. I am a FULL TIME mom! I am with my daughters 24/7 minus the time they are in school. I can NOT go for a ride at the drop of a dime -- no sitter. I can NOT take off for a "girls night out" -- no sitter. It is just me -- do you get that? I have no relatives that live near by. All my friends have families of their own. I am doing this alone. Oh and please -- don't ever compare your divorce, or the fact that your husband/wife works alot and is never home to what I am going through. And please, you losing your grandparent, uncle/aunt or an old classmate or heck, your pet is nothing to what my daughters and I are going through. You're better off not saying one word to me. Because, I'll tell you what -- the next person who compares what I stated above to my situation is looking to lose some teeth. That's a promise, not a threat. I have had it with DGI's and their attempts to understand what I am living. If you have no idea -- then just be a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen. That means more than you saying anything at all!

Any questions? Feel free to ask.
