Breed discrimination

    Well those of you that know me , know that my very favorite breed in the world, is the American Pit bull terrier!
  You also know of my sincere hatred for michael vick( I did not capitalize his name on purpose, imo he does not deserve that respect!)
 Well one of his dogs that was rehabilitated and certified a therapy dog, one of the most adorable faces i have ever seen on a pit... Jonny Rotten, can no longer work with the children in the paws for tales program because they don't like pit bulls!
  Meanwhile, good ol mike vick (sarcasm) gets to play football and make his millions, when the dogs he owned and tortured still suffer to this day!

     Please spare me the mike vick pity parties, I don't care if people THINK he has been rehabilitated, ... the N FL commissioner makes me sick, for letting mv back in, like he never did anything wrong,
  And for those who support mv and claim to love the pit bull breed, read the book "The Lost Dogs"... Read the court documents, and the things that mv admitted to doing to those poor pitties,.. Half of his supporters do not even really know what he did... they think he just fought the dogs (as if that is not bad enough) they have yet to read about the torture he inflicted...

PUNISH THE DEED NOT THE BREED!!!

 And as for Jonny Rotten, I hope nothing but great things for this adorable little guy,





best wishes

It;s been a busy month!!!

So now I have three causes to support, One Breast Cancer Awareness, Two, Cystic Fibrosis, Three Heart Disease
just  got back from an unscheduled trip to Mississippi, my dad suffered a massive heart attack, and had to undergo a quadruple bypass, bless his heart it has really knocked him for a loop!!! But we are all so blessed that he is still with us!!!
  The bypass surgery was so scary, when the nurse told me what would be happening, my knees nearly buckled!!!
 They actually STOP the heart to put in the new veins!!!... oh my goodness a five hour wait was no fun, then To have to see him afterward really broke my heart!!!, tubes everywhere, and he was on a ventilator so he couldn't speak even though he really wanted too!!! And the pain he must have been in, bless him... I hope he gets better real soon, its a long recovery process, and I do not want him to get frusterated....

I love you Daddy!!!

til next time

The new year... not off to a good start

Well 2011 starting bout not so great!!!

  I guess it could have been worse but, our house was broken into, and some of the kids most prized Christmas gifts were stolen!!! Yes some little street thug(s) not only burglarized us but also invaded our privacy, How dare you come into my home uninvited and steal what me and Greg work so hard to give our children... SHAME ON YOU!!!

   But it could have been worse!! What if we would have come home while they were still here? Oh my goodness I do not even want to think of the possibilities!!! They left most of our stuff alone, and only took what they could carry, and they did not vandalize anything which I am greatful for!!!
  I hope they realize what they did was very wrong and one day have a conscience...

I hope the rest of the year will be wonderful as I am sure it will be, Happy New year everyone!!!!

Happy Birthday Taylor

            Today is a special day, My beautiful daughter Taylor turns 12!!!!
It is hard to believe, just seems like almost yesterday I was holding my 5 lb 14 oz bundle, she was tiny burtperfectly healthy, I am so truly blessed to have experienced this 4 times!!!!
  As a mother of 4 I feel like i get overwhelmed at times, but then I realize as I stare at a house that will take about 5 hours to clean, that I am blessed beyond words to have a mess that takes 5 hours to clean! Because there are some people who can not have children and would be envious of my 5 hour mess, and when I feel myself getting frustrated I stop and say a prayer and thank GOD for all of my children!!!

                                                                  
 
happy 12th birthday my dear daughter,!!! I LOVE YOU

Wonder what it will be like?

          So Christmas is among us again, This is a very special time for the family, what with us having 7 kids and all... but they are growing, so in a few years will the "magic be gone ?...  They will have other parties to attend a couple might be married and starting families and traditions of their own!!!! It is a bitter sweet time of reflection for me, we still have a young one but the rest are growing soooo fast, for instance Kendall will be graduating high school this year!!!! what?!!??!!!... I hope they will all flock home for the holidays with families of their own, and we will continue many of the traditions we have today...Time marches on!!!

    O.k so now it's time to go run some last minute errands!!!

The fight continues

So the lovely lady who has now begun her fight with breast cancer is my mother... she was just recently diagnosed, The needle biopsy she was supposedto have done was not going to wrk so they wanted her to have a total excision of the tumor, whch then will be sent off to find out what type of tumor it is, then she will decide what course of treatment to persue.

     All this is still sinking in, its kind of surreal, although they has not been a definate diagnoses the doctor and radiologist are pretty sure they know what it is, the scary thing is that it is so close to her lymph node which now has become swollen and painful....

    But I will keep the faith because i know that there is a pretty good success rate of remission for women that have been diagnosed.

   So the fight has just begun, but it is a fight I am sure she will win!!!! I will keep praying everyday.... I love you Mother and I will fight with you!!!

And prayers also to Mrs.Edwards...

Cross Roads

And so it begins,

     I have decided to leave my job of 5 years, one that I absolutely loved mind you!. My co-workers are amazing and I am going to miss being with them everyday! But I have a wonderful family that needs me more, and I have no other choice, my family HAS to come first! It is an easy decision really. But how different things will be! All for the good of course! I will be available for my mother when she needs me, and I will be here when the kids get home from school, and I will be here with Pea, she won't have to have her early years raised by daycare providers, although I know that unfortunately, many mothers have to make the decision to put their babies in daycare, they have no choice, now a days it takes 2 incomes just to be able to make ends meet. I however am truly blessed with a man who will work from sun up to sun down 7 days a week,to provide us with the means so I do not have to work. He has been truly blessed to be able to do his job so wonderfully, and be able without fail to provide a comfortable living for us. I pray that this trend will continue, ... well that is all for now
