Bright & Beautiful

 - To My sweet Mia girl -

Bright & Beautiful

All things bright & beautiful,
All creatures great & small,
All things wise & wonderful,
God made them one & all.

Every flower that opens,
Every bird that sings,
... He made their pretty colors, He made their little wings.

The Sunrise in the morning,
The moonbeams late at night,
All the tiny twinkling stars that shine Oh so bright.

The snowflakes in the Winter,
The raindrops in the Spring,
The Summer sun & the Autumn wind,
Each amazing thing.
But that's not all,
There's so much more!
God made each person too.
The miracle of family,
The wonder that is YOU!
Of all things wise & wonderful,
All things that live & grow,
He made you Bright & Beautiful,
From your head to tippey toe.

May God bless you, May he keep you.
May love never be far.
And as you grow, I hope you know,
How wonderful YOU are!



My Outlet

     I don't write to hurt peoples feeling or to air out my dirty laundry or to get attention. I write because it my escape from the world. I love nothing more than to sit down, whether it be with my computer or a pen and a piece of paper and just write. Sometimes I'll write a story or a poem. Other times I'll write about something that is going on in my family, which has been a lot of crap lately. I enjoy writing. && I think I'm pretty good at it.

     Now if there is something that I've said to offend anyone or if something thinks I give a little bit too much information out about certain things.. All I can to you, that someone, is "Don't read my blog." Plain and simple. That is the point of a blog. To tell a story, or ask for advise. To let people into your world. Not everyone reads this and I don't care. No one could read it and I would still write it. I definitely don't mean to offend anyone or hurt any ones feelings, like I said but this is ME. This is what I do.

     Friends are scarce. I don't have many. The ones I do have I don't get to talk to on a daily basis so this is how I connect with them. This is my way of letting them know what's new with me. From now on in this blog when I talk about 'my family' that will ONLY consist of my husband, Steven, my daughter, Mia Elizabeth and myself. I will only ask for prayers for ones who are thankful and appreciate that someone else is thinking about them.  I won't help anyone who doesn't want my help. I wont' offer it to anyone. I'm going to keep things simple for me and my family.
    

Thank you to everyone who actually cares enough to read what I have to say. It means a lot to me.

Meth in the Home

 Ok so I'm not one for putting my family's business out there for everyone to know BUT my sisters business has already been put on the FRONT PAGE of the local paper so I figure, hey.. what the hell.

     For it to be considered "child endangerment" for a child taken out of a home where a meth lab is located the childs toxicity level has to be 300 mg/kg. According to the hair folical test that my nephew had done in the begining of December his level was 3,297. Now I'm not an expert but OMG! I just googled what a lethal amount would be in an adult and it is from 500 mg/kg to 5000 mg/kg. Hmm..

 I was feeling a bit sympathic for my sister thinking maybe.. just maybe she really didn't know what was going on in her home. Maybe she wasn't doing it around her son.. There is NO POSSIBLE way that she didn't know and she ahd to have beend doing it around him as well as her boyfriend/husband. That is the highest level EVER found in an infant. What are people thinking? Now being a parent, I couldn't imagine putting my child in ANY kind of danger at all.. I'm so in love with Mia Elizabeth I would DIE is someone came and took her away from me.

     So what about Stefen William.. What happens to him? He gets bounced around from home to home. Has to go visit is father in prison. Has to watch his mother go through drug rehab & parenting classes, living from paycheck to paycheck. What about when he gets older? In school is going to 'slower' than other kids? Will he regress because of all the drugs he has been exposed to? Learning/speech problems.. mental issues! this poor baby. MY poor nephew. I never thought that my sister would be so stupid. She blames is on him but we all know it wasn't ALL HIM. It never has been ALL HIM. She is an adult. She makes her own decisions.  My heart breaks for Stefen. I pray for him every night and I'm asking that if you are reading this that you take time out and say a small prayer for him.

 Pray that in his life he remembers only the happy times. Pray that he is not effecting long term from what he was been exposed to and grows up healthy.

<3 you, Boog.
