Manic Monday

I should be checking things off of my list of to-do's but alas, I find myself surfing the web, folding laundry in-between and setting aside the pressure to clean the kid's bedroom before I have to go pick them up at school. I remembered I created a blog and thought I should change my mind, AGAIN, about the design, title, etc. So, here it is...The Musso Times. That's as creative as it's gonna get. I do have a creative bone or two in my body but rarely the time to utilize both of them at once, but I think if I were on the outside looking in, I would just want to read something from someone that I could relate with, laugh with, cry with, grieve with and basically hash out life with. That is what this blog is about...me, my family and the world around us.

We are a family of four. My husband and I have been married 7 years this February. We have two kids, Christian (6) and Josephine (4). We have a child in heaven we named C.J. (named after big brother and sister). Twelve weeks into my pregnancy I had my first check-up to find that there was no heartbeat and that our third child stopped growing at nine and a half weeks. Soon after the news, I lost the baby at home and was able to hold his/her perfectly made little body in my hands. Jason and I laid C.J. in a white necklace box and gave him (we think we saw boy parts) an intimate little burial with daddy and I present. I honestly have not been to his resting place since then, and for some reason I have either been too distracted or a little fearful of returning. That was two years ago this May and a lot has happened since then.

Since I have to get a few things done before I have to pick up the kids, read the next post for the latest on the Musso family.
