Things Learned Last Week

Never underestimate the power of staff infection. What started out looking like a mild shaving rash on Dean's neck turned into a nasty beast. He's now on two antibiotics and a cream.

I never thought it was possible but I think I'm sick of potatoes.

Abel did not understands the importance of putting his head down into the trash can as far as possible when throwing up.

Kids can get crazy nose bleeds out of no where.

Steele absolutely knew that Vampires were not real but he was sad to hear that werewolf's were also not real.

A child with RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder), no matter how mild or severe, lies to you while looking you right in the eye (read this on my friend Jillian's blog, she has a child with severe RAD and has read a lot about it) when they are not lying they have trouble making eye contact.

When I'm running low on coffee, I want to drink even more coffee then normal.

When you don't tithe you screw yourself, no one else. It's just true. God blesses what we don't hold on to or think is ours. It doesn't make sense naturally but faith isn't called faith for nothing.

It's really easy to judge someones parenting until you know their story, then you understand "why". Knowing peoples stories is so necessary.

Have a great week.

If what Dean has is merca infection he needs to stay away from the children and you need to disinfect everything with wipes and bleach. Dean needs to wash his hands frequently and not touch the sore. It can be very serious for Dean as well as the children. The sore also needs to be covered.

Gay Adoption

Image
This week our Louisiana state senate was presented legislation that would allow both partners in a homosexual relationship to be named as a parent in an adoption of a child . pro-family and political Christian organizations were at the capital "fighting for traditional families" And they won, the law expansion was not approved. I'm all for free speech, fighting for what you believe in, so they have a right to speak out if they feel so led. I don't know every person that was at the capital fighting against this law expansion, but I do know many of them, and of the ones I know, NONE of them have ever adopted. I would hope they had at least funded an adoption, are part of a mentoring program for children in foster care or something that helps orphans, but I don't know if that's the case either. I do believe from over 25 years of being a part of many pro-life, pro-family political action groups, that most of the people who are in these groups have no adopted

But Did You Die?

Image
Funny how life smacks you in the face with yourself. And it will smack you in the face with everything else. Both good and bad and at the same time too often. This last year I've said to myself more times than I can count, "But did you die? No? So shut the hell up. Buck up! Grow a damn vagina Carole! No one else is going to do it, you have to!" And somehow I make it through another day. The great benefit of being raised by a single mother and watching my sister live her life, balls to the wall is I KNOW I can rise to the occasion simply because I'm alive. I am in pain everyday in my heart and in my body. I have Frozen Shoulder. My entire left arm hurts all day every day pretty much. I'm in physical therapy which helps. Motrin helps. I have to take it before bed and get up and take it during the night.  I'm left handed and it is of course my left arm. Washing my hair is difficult. I can't reach back to my bra strap with my left hand. The joy o

The Womb, Being a Woman and Baby Loss

Image
 Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lost their baby last week and the hateful, pro pre-born baby crowd came out in full anti-Christ form to attack a grieving family. The adrenaline rush from the hate filled comment section on their social media will be their reward, I won't give them any more attention. No, in this post I'm going to talk about womb issues, empathize with a grieving family and share my story. From the time I was twelve until I had a hysterectomy at age forty I dealt with excruciating pain at the beginning of my periods most months due to Endometriosis. It also caused me trouble getting pregnant and caused me to have a horrific pregnancy. My doctor said he was surprised I got pregnant at all. After we had Evangeline I wanted to have more kids so we tried mild fertility pills which made the Endometriosis worse. There was one point during the treatment when my period was late so I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was so excited. All the pain and fertility t
