I have had so much and so little going on at the same time....the past few days. I know it sounds a bit wacky but really I have been so busy but only by doing all of the little mundane things I do every week. Clean the fish tank, do the laundry (multiple loads -everyday of the week), cook, clean, pick up toys, trip to Walmart, trip to library for toddler time, trip to Walmart again....seriously I have been so busy but have only really had one place to really go this week. Nuts.
With all of the little repetitive things I do I have still found time to marinate in the idea that I am able to spend so much precious time with my little boy. My little boy, who is growing up so fast. I mean really? I got the flier sent home to me this past week informing me that Pre-K registration is in a few weeks. Really? I am going to be registering my baby in Pre-K? Wow! Since I know his future teacher Miss Elisha -I feel very comfortable and confident that everything will go really well but I still have a bit of reservation given that all Grant has ever know is a stay-at-home world. He hasn't even had anyone other than his parents and family members watch him -and given his shy nature it could make for an interesting experience. We talk about Miss Elisha often so that helps...and he always says her name with a smile-so that's also a good sign. We practice colors, numbers, and letters often almost too much because now I think he is completely bored with it all. He got a couple of educational toys for Christmas this year...Alphie (a talking robot) and the Red Rover game....both he seems to get so bored with that he will purposely choose the wrong answer just to hear it say something different than "hot diggity dog, or smart smart smart." He's ready for Pre-K on an academic and educational sense but not sure where he would score if given a social response test....since he is still hiding behind my leg when strangers talk to him. He's gotten better so I can say that he has improved. :)
Ok -I am going to go entirely off subject now and write about current events. I am appalled that these crazy, insensitive, disrespectful protesters are seriously able to picket and protest in front of a church where a funeral of one of our nations fallen soliders is being held. APPALLED! I am all about everyone's right to free speech but am also with those who say "just because it's your right doesn't mean it makes it right." Seriously? How ruthless and disgusting can you really be? In addition to just being nasty their posters all have something to do with GOD. Really? Do you think GOD would approve of these actions? NO! Disgusted and seriously upset. What is happening to human decency, kindness, and love? Seriously...it is bad enough that this is happening at a funeral but worse its at a funeral of an American Soldier! Someone who had served his country (-including the shallow minded -cold hearted individuals who are disrupting what would otherwise be a peaceful remembrance of a young man)! This crosses a huge line-with me and I am outraged! So what better place to speak my mind than on my blog!?
Some more current events for you..... I completely DISAGREE with this new thought that every Illinois citizen who has a FOID card has to list their name on an on-line/public database is just ludicrous! Really? So that means crooks, crackheads, and rapist, can look up what addresses NOT to hit up when trying to plan their next attack leaving us without guns to look even more vulnerable and open for an intruder. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING? I understand the opposing argument but strongly disagree with it.
Ok , I think I am done now...I feel better, thanks. :) Have a good weekend. Make sure to hug the ones you have and pray for those who need prayers...there are several little ones fighting for their lives right now. Although we may not know them personally -they are still our brothers and sisters and need our prayers so desperately right now.
My Prayer List-please join me
