 My Heart Breaks.....
 

A baby girl was found in the brush on the side of some lonely road in our county a couple of days ago wrapped in a blanket with her umbilical cord still attached. A lady was walking her dog and the dog found the baby. Luckily the baby girl is going to be ok. No thanks to the mother that left her to die.

And the little girl in Florida (I think) that was missing and then was found disgarded in a landfill in Georgia...Jeezzzz....

These two stories (plus many more just like it) sicken and sadden me. I don't understand why anyone would harm a child. It's just so far beyond my comprehension that it boggles my mind.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of the little girl that was found in Georgia. I cannot even begin to image the anguish they must be feeling.

My heart also goes to the baby that was found this week and also to that baby's family. Somewhere, someone is kin to that little baby and would be willing to take her in and give her a home even if the mother didn't want to.

It's an absolute disgusting world we live in at times

 Ahem....
 

I miss coming here and I have no one to blame but myself

My life hasn't been extremely busy to the point that I don't have time to pop in and post a little here or there. I just haven't felt the need I suppose. I don't know how to explain it. I just felt like a rut was coming on and I needed to take a breather. Hell, I feel like I'm drowning in the rut sometimes .

I sill want to be Alice (as in Wonderland) at times. I just want to fall into a hole and and see where it takes me. Of course, with all that good karma that's been swirling around me lately, I'd just end up falling into a hole filled with hornets

Rocky is still handicapped. His pin has come out but his leg is now bandaged and slung up and he has another E-collar back on his neck. I walked into the house last night and the first thing Rocky did was bump into my leg with his collar. Actually "bump" is an understatement. "Plowed" is more like it. I will be sporting a variety of bruises by the time this E-collar can come off.

We're attending a Halloween party next Saturday and I have yet to give serious thought to a costume. I did a search in my past Halloween junk and came up with nada. All costumes of Halloween's past have taken a missing It probably has something to do with my lovely skills of organization

We're attending a party this Saturday also. This is one of our annual parties we attend. This year my brother has been invited by the host. The host has been to my brother's parties several times and they know each other fairly well but for some odd reason, my brother doesn't want to show up until Hubby and I are there. I don't know why but this really bugs the crap out of me. It's not like I'm going to hold big bro's hand when I get there. Hubby, well, I can't speak for him . Just kidding. I guess I just need to get over it.

Hubby and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary on Tuesday. Ok...we observed the day and that's about it. We both agreed to basically acknowledge it but nothing special. Not that we go all out any other year anyway. We just agreed to save whatever money we would have spent on dinner (not gonna break the bank at MickeyD's)...and put it toward a weekend away when the time is right. Sounds like a good plan to me and we both could use some R & R away from it all.

On the kid front...They're doing. My oldest is dealing with the gimp legged dog. My younest daughter has contributed a bunny to the "We'll Accept Anything On Two Feet/Paws (and doesn't always have to have an even number) Family Farm" as I have started calling it. My son is not loving school but tolerating it pretty well. His grades are good (and I really hope I'm not speaking to soon on this ). He actually has a couple of classes he LIKES . He also knows that bad school = bad grades = no girlfriend Hey...I am NOT above bribery

~~~~
On a more personal note and I'm sure this will be way more information than anyone other than myself needs....but....If I don't get my haircut, my eyebrows waxed/plucked and buy myself some new bra's very, very soon, I do believe I will go nucking futs

Another week (almost) has come and gone. Another crappy week on top of it

It seems like when it rains, it pours. I've mentioned this before and yet, I still can't understand why my luck really, really sucks. I didn't think my Karma was that messed up but time after time of shit going wrong seems to be proving me wrong in the Karma department

I guess I need to sit down and have a long talk with Karma and see what's going on

I wonder how many times the same person can make the same mistakes before they acutally LEARN from them

Apparently, I'm able to do this continuously with not an inkling of smarts to take away. How? Why? I don't know. A deep part of me must feel the need for punishment I suppose.

I often wonder it will take to break that proverbial straw

 This N That
 

Wow...I didn't realize it had been that long since I had been here but obviously it has.

I pop in every once in awhile to scan through others blogs but haven't felt the need to post anything recently. Still don't really, so I'm not sure where (if anywhere) this post will go.

First and foremost on my mind I suppose is the Luau party I went to on Saturday. My sis-n-law threw the bash and had a Hawaiin lady come to do a few dances then also teach a dance. The instructor also brought her daughter who looked to be about 8 or 9 who is learning more of the traditional dances. Very interesting and peaceful looking dance. That is until the teaching part came about. All of us clowns trying to learn the dance wasn't very interesting or peaceful looking but we tried and had fun.

My mom got a new cell phone. A couple of years ago she had one but could never get into using it. She wouldn't even leave it turned on so everytime someone would call it would go straight to voicemail, which she didn't know how to check . She got irritated with the thing and gave it up. I don't really know what made her decide to do it again but I can't wait what the outcome of this phone will be. I've only talked to her twice on her cell phone since she's had it and both times, she speaks VERY LOUDLY . I guess she thinks I can't hear her. I've told her that she doesn't need to yell into the phone in order for me to hear her but she doesn't quite get it

Speaking of phones, I finally did away with our house phone. It's something I've been meaning to for quite some time but just never got around to it. It was just a bill I was paying for no reason. No one hardly ever used the house phone because we all have cell phones and I guess they are just more convenient. The main reason I kept the house phone was for the internet but now that my computer finally expelled it's last breath, there's no reason to have the landline. I figure I'll get a new computer about the time we'll get something other than dial-up. Hell, truth be known, they'll come out with ten zillion different types of new computers and I'll be a grandmother 10 times over BEFORE anything OTHER than dial-up is available to us

Ok..back to the party (I know...the brain inside this skull is a little frightening)

I have to brag on Hubby. He is the cook in our family. Hell, everyone knows that. Sybil can cook, she just doesn't like to
but Hubby is the real cook and he cooks his butt off when it comes to grilling. He cooked for his sister's Luau (ok..not sure if Luau/luau needs to be capitalized or not...note to self...take refresher course in English ). So...Hubby cooked for the party and made his "special sauces" (which I've been trying to get him to seriously think about bottling and selling but he laughs at me). On Sunday, his sister had quite a few people calling her wanting to know if Hubby caters and/or sells his sauce . I told Hubby he should think about going into that business. He's been saying he needs a career change.

I think we'd get high speed internet before Hubby changes his career though
