I forgot to tell you I uploaded the vids and pics. The vids are cut short by flickr, so I will be reuploading to vimeo eventually.

The rest are here.

So many people dying or sick. I have lots of prayer requests...but I just dont think I can get them all in one post. You can check out the prayer list on facebook that my mother and I began yesterday. You can post your own and pray for others. Such trying times in this world...

Then I read about a 17 year old who burned a kitten to death right in the city where we will be moving. These are the kids that we will be talking with? These are the teens that are crying out for help! I have never known children like this before.

Jesus take the wheel.

It's the second time I have seen the eldest, but the first time I have seen the youngest. This was the last year for the eldest to be in the school since she has graduated high school. Next year, she has been invited back to teach the hip hop dance class that she used to attend. They both did really well. It would have been nice if the people in the aisles would have STOPPED jumping up and running in front of my camera every chance they got, but I did get most of the footage without fail. I will be posting them shortly. I had a few events this weekend, including my sister's baby shower, so I have a lot of pictures to sort, upload, and post. My mental desktops are full tonight!

I am feeling tired. getting ready for little sister's baby shower.

I was telling my friends, who shall remain nameless, that they should stop smoking so many cigarettes. I was telling them they are going to need some serious smoking related disease control not so later on in their lives if they don't. They say " we all gotta go somehow ". Ah, the flagrant disregard to life that youth have! I don't think they ever truly understand till they get older and more established just how fleeting life really is. One minute you are fine, the next minute you could be fighting for your life. Look at how many celebrities alone have died in just a matter of weeks!

You don't hear about all the little people, clamoring for another glimpse of hope and beauty in this world. You don't hear about the thousands who fight, with personal injury lawyers and Mesothelioma lawyers, malpractice lawyers, and all trying to get some recompense for the crazy things that happen.There are so many people who will never get to see their children grow up, never get to hear the voice of their newborn, never see the light of day again...and we don't think about what we do in our lives to affect our time on this earth.

I say live well as long as you live. Do what's right. Love your family and yourself. Spend time getting to know people...then one day when your ashes are strewn across the murky waters of existence you will be remembered in the hearts of those who's lives you touched in a special way.

Wow this has been a crazy busy day for celebs passing on...

I am still in shock from it all.

Wow.

They will be sorely missed.

Yesterday we went through the overhumiliating process of getting our son signed up for Medicaid for the next month and a half ... yes only a month and a half. We would have to go through MORE rigmarole just to get him signed up till the end of August (when we are leaving). I took him so he could get 2 more shots and an xray of this weird bump on his chest. They will be covering the xray, thank God. That's all worth the undue talking down and insensitivity of the staff in the place. I will be posting more about this while I eat breakfast, so head on over to Taz's site after a while and you will see it all.
