Sad For Somer

I’ve been hesitant about posting this on my blog but I have to because I’ve been affected by it. Every once in a while you hear a news story that grabs you and this one grabbed me. Today there were no happy endings. When I look at that adorable face with happy eyes full of mischief and wonder, I can’t help but cry.  Poor, Sweet Child.  My heart breaks for you. My heart goes out to her mother who will miss holding her, kissing her and having her… To her brother who will grow up feeling a void for his twin… And for her sister who’s life will always be plagued with guilt. I don’t understand what it is going to take to change the laws to protect our children so that parents don’t have to live in fear and kids can just be kids.We tag our pets with micro-chips so why can’t we do the same to our babies? This brutality has got to stop. Our laws have got to protect our innocent little one’s from being preyed upon and bagged like animals. Please God, make this stop. Enough is enough.

So then, as a newly enlisted member of the unemployment industry who is bordering on becoming a member of AAA, and Overeaters Anonymous as well, I’ve decided to join the active world of WorldPress to help pass my time. Thanks to my former employer’s administrative powers, I’m history. I still can’t accept what has happened to me, has indeed happened to me. Five weeks of schedule-free bliss has become a blister. The task list that I someday hoped to get to, I no longer hope to get to. Be it depression or simple insanity, the work horse that I once was, has glued it’s hind quarters to a couch cushion. I bide my time channel surfing while surfing the web. My fingers on the remote control and laptop keys are the only body parts to get a good work out now. Compensation for this multitasking endeavor comes from Worksource instead of a work source.  As I delete my junk mail promising high wages “while I work from home”, I routinely fill my head with junk TV while I sit at home. My ‘what not to wear’ wardrobe consist only of a robe. While my self esteem continues to plunder along with the Fall season, I’ll keep dreaming about those things that perhaps one day I’ll get out and do again, like- grocery shop, return overdue videos, walk out to check the mail…

  Greetings!
I’m a long winded woman who will try to keep things simple. This is a blog of everyday events and topics. As you have probably noticed, my page isn’t quite fixed up yet. It’s brand spankin’ new and If that weren’t enough to deal with, I’m still trying to make heads and tails of this blog thing. You might want to check back again …and then you might not. Regardless, thanks so for stopping by!
