Crazy Tubes in the ears
Okay it has been a crazy few weeks. My daughter is finally out of hot water. We had surgery done on her ears. They told me there really shouldn't be any bleeding only a pink twinge or discoloration. Then why did my daughter have blood coming out of her ears for 5 days afterwards? The doctors told me to wait it out that it will get better. Now she is up crying and holding the ear that blead the worst. I am at my wits end worrying and the I am going to demand that the doctor see her if it doesn't get better by monday. I have read that this sometimes happens. But I don't want to see it happen to my little girl. She is talking so much better and we can see a big difference in her in just a few days however the pain seems to be getting worse. They told me to keep putting the drops in even after the 3 days because she was bleeding. We just finished a seven day dose twice daily and I don't have anymore, We are alternating between Tylenol and Ibeprofin because her pain is so bad and it keeps getting worse. Lord love a duck and help me to proceed. If it doesn't get better I am going to do whatever it takes to get my little girl seen. Even is I have to sit in the waiting room until I am seen. These were the best doctors and Istill have faith but sometimes its not all cut and dried like the doctors believe. They have to check it out what is it going to hurt to look into a little girls ears and see for themselves everything is fine instead of telling me over the phone not to worry. I don't do blood and have blood come out of one of her ears is making my heart stop and panic attacks are not easy to fend off when you are holding a crying little girl. I keep holding onto her but it isn't getting better!

Okay I am having trouble! My Head just won't compute and is all jumble up!
I admit I am having trouble! I am trying to understand and maybe it has been my different upbringing that is causing me trouble. Okay I am being told that Hannah Montanna is bad. That we shouldn't let our kids view anything she does because of one indescretion (which she apologized for). I have even been told that she is heading on the same path as Britney Spears (whom I have never heard apologize). My question why is she bad. She had pictures taken to be published in a magazine. To my knowledge most kids don't read Vanity Fair. It has an older audience than the teeny boppers. She took a picture with her Father and they are saying that it is incestious. If that is the case then my children are in serious trouble. They jump on their father, they play ball with their father. I have even seen teenage boys have more contact on the football field or the basketball court than she had with her father. To make an innocent picture filthy? Why? Because she looks more grown up and parents are now starting to realize that she is at an age where kids want to look more grown up? I think this whole thing is getting out of hand.
When do we over protect our children? When do you cross the line of being overprotective and not protective enough? Should we shield our children from everything until they turn 18. I am not understanding this concept.
Okay here is another question I am having trouble with. Jesus went out among the sinners and scum of the earth, right? We need to strive to be more like Jesus in our actions of love and to preach the word of the gospil everywhere. We are Christ Followers. Yet, we need to protect and shelter our children and prepare them for Jesus and to keep them pure to be in Jesus' good grace. That we shouldn't expose them to the dirt of society becuase this would make them unclean. Your friends should be other christians, all others should be acquaintances. Home school until they are 18 and then send them out into the world with those that you approve of.
This is a direct quote from the parental newsletter:
Life with little ones can leave parents in day-to-day survival mode.
Calendars and to-do lists are essential for navigating countless
appointments, chores, school activities, work obligations, and more.
Your immediate goals might range from potty-training a toddler to
planning your summer schedules. But what’s your ultimate goal as
parents? Are you merely trying to prepare kids for adulthood?
While children’s earthly future is definitely
important, our main focus must be children’s
eternal future. It can be hard to keep that in mind
with each day’s pressures and obligations. But
what really matters is making sure our children
spend eternity with Jesus. To do that:
and then it goes on how to schedule your Bible study time and to not overload your child, and how to preveiw all that children are exposed to. I agree with it. Except for the part about keeping our children shielded from it. I think they need to be taught that there is bad stuff in the world and that this is not how we act, that even though these people do the bad stuff we do not follow them, but we do show them love. We do not agree but that we love them and that we will show them the way. Isn't that what being a christ follower is all about? Not to mention a good parent? Where is the line of religous nut and abuser of children or sinner? Our church preaches that all of the desciples were sinners of some sort yet they served a purpose to Jesus in getting the word out. I have alot to think about. I will continue to struggle with my questions.

Getting Even with a Dye Job
A note to all husbands,
Please do not make your wives mad. It is not nice to call a woman a cun... t I am having trouble even writing the word. Please do not call us a B.tch. It is not nice. When we ask you not to eat tommorow nights dinner as a snack, please don't do it. Please do not let all of the crabs in the crab pot go. Does it matter to me that you are trying to quit smoking? Yes, but behaving as a child is not getting you anywhere. All it does is cause your family to have to eat Ramen for dinner a couple of nights. And I am not letting your children have to eat it. I am serving it to you when you come home since you were so wasteful of our limited supplies. And when I tell you I have mixed up the hair dyes (accidently on purpose) and that your hair is going to be red. Please go wash it out like you were asked. Do not sit on the sofa until it the dye dries in your hair to be spiteful. It only makes me want to laugh at you for being so childish. You can be mad at me all you want. I told you to wash it out before it even set and there wouldn't have been a color change. To me this is you wanting it to be this way so that you can be mad at me. That gives you a reason to be mad because you had to quit smoking. So I will sit here and laugh while you go about your day with a baseball cap covering your streak of very red hair. Next time you never know it might be Nair like your friends suggested.
P.S. Don't do it in front of your friends ever again either. They have no sympathy for you! Because you were acting like a total jerk and they heard me tell you to wash it out. Then they saw you sit on the couch like a spoiled little boy!

Unique
The definition of Unique:
1.
existing as the only one or as the sole example; single; solitary in type or characteristics: a unique copy of an ancient manuscript.
2.
having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable: Bach was unique in his handling of counterpoint.
3.
limited in occurrence to a given class, situation, or area: a species unique to Australia.
4.
limited to a single outcome or result; without alternative possibilities: Certain types of problems have unique solutions.
5.
not typical; unusual: She has a very unique smile.
noun
6.
the embodiment of unique characteristics; the only specimen of a given kind: The unique is also the improbable.
Origin: 1595–1605; < style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps"
as on dictionary . com
I guess you are wondering what is withthe definition. I know most of us have heard the saying every person is unique. My question is why do we hold everyone to the same standards? The bible it says this is how we should act. This is how we should strive to live our life! This is good. I agree. When we fail does that give people the right to talk or to show or think they are better than we are (to me this is throwing stones)? even God didn't do that. Maybe I am getting this wrong, but every story that i have heard of or read if the person was truely sorry for an action then God forgave them and told them to sin no more. True evil that is punished is the kind that the person feels like they have done no wrong when the action has hurt others or they did it out of enjoyment. Do you enjoy talking bad about people, whether they are celebrities, the poor people down the street, or the very nice old couple that lives accross the street that just can't keep up with their cat? We are people we are not gods. We make mistakes. So what is the difference between doing the good Lord's work and holding someone accountable to the Lord's moral standards? Maybe we need to look at both sides of the story before we throw stones!
