Some Things Just Bug Me.

Some Things Just Bug Me.

 

Prepare to be a bit upset... ?

~~~
CLICK HERE for The "official" cougar boot camp
(It is the link from Chereis blog).
I apologize for not including it within my 360 blog earlier.

Good Morning...

I was all set to write a blog and to reassure you (and myself) that Spring is still in the air in Flintville...

hehehe
Do you like the bug???

 

And of course I ended up 'surfing' ...and trying to keep up a bit here too.
Honestly, how much can be written about my daughters illness on here, and still they can't find anything to help her?
WTH?
Yes, she was once again at the hospital last night... She is better today?

In my regular email was an update for Baby Mariah. As many of you already know, Mariah 3 years old, has a potine glioma, and has been fighting it for almost the past year.
Please take a minute to click here, (or on her name); and to say hello to the wonderful Klein Family.
It will cost nothing but your time.
I found this poem in her latest blog...

A Pair of Shoes
Author Unknown

I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some women ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don’t hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has a child with cancer.

I can only begin to imagine these familys fears dealing with all their babies and loved ones.
Some are given such a short time, while others lives are even shorter.
How dare I complain about my own pains...

Also please offer your love and support to my friend Beth T.
Again, please click here, or on her name... Her own mama is quite ill, in the hospital, and Beth cannot be there as she would like.
Your words and kindnesses have always helped me so much that I believe you can offer her a bit of your comfort as well.

On another separate (but "p*ss me off"), topic, comes a blog from Cherei. Her blog has to do with 'cougars' -of the pedophile variety- and the like.
Are we allowing ourselves to become so removed from reality that this is becoming the norm?!?

Because God knows it is NOT acceptable no matter HOW we try to complicate it.
Allow me to simplify it for you, for myself and for all parents and grandparents...
Wrong is wrong. (How's that for the simplified version)?

Having raised 4 daughters, and having 2 of them sexually assaulted while they were still minors, I cannot begin to tell you how sick this all is.

So please take a few moments of your own time and visit these people and to let them know you were there too.

And then go have yourselves a "Wunnaful" Weekend!

Love to all.

XOXO,
Anne
