Time to get caught up...
Hmmm....where to begin?
Ok, well first, I didn't get accepted to the scrapping store I applied at. While it would have been fun, I am totally ok with it. I've been asked to be on a CT team for another site, which I'll keep under wraps until things are completed, but I am super excited as this is something I wanted for a while now!!!
I am finally over being sick - I had about a week of a cold/flu like symptoms - not fun at all!!! I am so over this cold weather already!!!
And lastly, you can stop reading right here if you'd like but I need to rant and get some things off my chest! I was visiting a particular debating board recently - well I have been on and off for over a year, but had been there recently and decided it's just no productive. It's hard to have a battle of the wits with someone who isn't armed!!! I think the biggest mistake a parent can make is thinking they know it all before the child is even born!!! Let's face it, I am sure all of us, to a small degree, felt we knew it all before our child came, but I know I wasn't so confident about it that I would basically throw it in someones face, nor would I tell someone who already had a child how to parent! I find it laughable that someone would think that because they had done some babysitting, taken cpr class, and had some psych classes, etc, that they are ready to be a mom and are confident and know everything there is to know!!! Imagine if that was all it took to be a mom? I mean, we could send everyone who wanted to be a mom to these classes and we'd be guaranteed the world would have perfect moms!!! HA!!! Show me one person who after having their child, didn't change their mind on one thing...just one thing!!! It's a whole other ballgame once that child is in your arms and its your child!!! And when I told this person this, she said that I wasn't debating correctly by using that statement!!! Give me a break! She'll see when she actually gives birth! you can't possibly know what it's like to be a mom till you are a mom! I don't care if you babysit for 10,000 children, taken 200 psych courses, take first aid and cpr, etc - it isn't an indicator of instant success when you have your own child!!!
Another thing I am annoyed by is people who want to force their opinions onto everyone else....they want to put their beliefs onto the whole country but then the same person doesn't want to step on the toes of criminals like pedophiles! Give me a break!!! You want me to go along with your beliefs on such topics as abortion, taxes, war, child rearing, but then you don't want to infringe upon the rights of a pedophile! Sorry, but when the said creep put his or her hands on a child, they lost all rights!!! Having a three year old I think of this stuff quite a bit, and I can tell you I wouldn't for a minute stand for it and you can bet I'd want that low life piece of scum to rot and yes, yes, I think pedophiles should be registered even after probation is over!!!
It makes me sick that some people want to give these scumbags the same rights as those of us who abide the law and keep our children safe!!! What is this world coming to?!
Ok end rant...I could go on and on...really I could....but I'll stop for now....my blood is starting to boil once again just thinking about it!!!

I'm right there with you. There was just a story on the news where a couple had let this woman babysit their small daughter because the Mom had to go to areligous retreat for the weekend and the father had to work. Well, the lady took off with the little girl, they couldn't find her anywhere. Finally she showed up at a friends house with the little girl and turned herself in. Where had she been with the little girl? At a crack house! No, let's get past the fact that this woman was a piece of dirt and that she should be indicted for endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangerment, corrupting the morals and assault (don't tell me you can have a child in a room filled with crack smoke and it not affect them) - let's look at the parents. How stupid, dangerous and selfish to leave your child with a woman who you HAVE to know isn't right in the head. Just one look tells you she is not right. She was the picture of a drug addict, dirty, teeth all nasty and she couldn't speak to save her life. I'll bet though that no charges are brought against the parents. So you are not the only one whose blood is boiling.
Erin,
Good Morning, glad to hear that you are feeling better! You have to look at it this way, it's their loss not yours that they didn't "hire" you. But there's more fish in the sea, and better things to come! Have a great day Sweetie!
