Response to yesterday and Happy Birthday Brenda
I got alot of good responses to yesterday's question that I had. One disturbed me somewhat. It said that we are just Human as so therefore have no right to question God's motives because it is evil. That pretty much sums it up. Those aren't the exact words. If you want to see the exact words you can read them in the comments on that entry. I was a little upset by that comment, I felt it directed at me, but then I came to realize that the writer was just saying that the act itself is evil no matter who does it. I do not feel that way. God gave us a brain to think and feel and wonder. I don't think He wants us to cower in fear because we wonder why He does what He does. Yes I am Human, I was born to be human and I will die Human. I will probably die wondering what I will see on the other side. Will it be heaven, a nothingness, or the fires of Hell?
Enough of that! Tomorrow is my sister Brenda's birthday! She will be 44. Teehee! I know, it will be happening to me in a couple more years! Love ya sis!

Why does God...?
I get alot of e-mails and see pictures and graphics telling me about God's love. God knows us from the moment of conception to the moment of death and then we will be reunited with him but only if we have accepted his Son Jesus Christ as Savior. There is also the belief that God knows our life, that it is pre-planned for us. This is my question. If God knows everything that will happen to us then he must already know that we will or will not accept him as our God and Jesus as Savior. Why have people born knowing that they will go to hell? Why have the baby born whos father will throw him off a bridge. Why be born and have your Aunt strip you naked and walk into traffic with you? Why let the children be raped, mutilated, abused etc? What lesson can be learned in that? What about the mother with children who gets cancer and dies slow and terrible and in agony. Is this God's plan for her? What if she doesn't accept Him as Savior first. Then she gets to burn in Hell too! There are thousands of examples I could state. I don't understand any of this. I know I will get all the statements of the faithful like, No one knows God's plan etc... I just don't understand that if God loves us and knows us why send us out to perish? Why send some out to die and burn in hell? Just my thoughts....

Where is Prince Charming?
Have you ever had one of those days where you wish you could run away? Lately I have been having those evenings. I leave work, go pick up Sarah and come home and as soon as I walk in the door I am doing things and fielding questions and requests and demands. Yesterday I didn't even get my coat off and I was on the run. What's for dinner? The dog pooped under the couch again. I want to go on the computer. Meanwhile, there are groceries to be brought in, the sink is overflowing with dirty dishes, the house is filthy and all the kids are interesting in is playing games and being fed. Never mind helping out Mom. I'm just the unpaid help. When I ask for help I get treated like I'm a slave driver. Garbage belongs on the floor, toys on the floor, coats and shoes on the floor. The cat is eating tinsel, the puppy is crapping everywhere. Why did I get a puppy? Why? The cats want to be fed, the puppy wants to be fed, the kids want to be fed. Who is going to feed me? Who is going to help me? Who cares about me? I feel like I really have the short end of the stick. I am raising tyrants and bullies. Whiners and slackers. I need Prince Charming to come in and save the day... or a maid.

Good Morning!
I wish I had a beautiful rose garden and produced roses like the one above. Today is my last day of work before a day off. I hope the day goes well. We got to do our own job the last two days. We have a overloaded list of rehab residents to see. Our boss put 36 on when we usually only carry 32. I don't know why she did that knowing that we are getting pulled so often. She is going to be gone the next 4 days to Lake Placid anyhow.
I am hoping to go on vacation myself to Louisiana in April. I had to e-mail Sarah's father and ask if we can switch Winter/Spring breaks. I'm hoping he won't be a jerk and refuse it. Child Support is taking him back to court because he stopped paying for a month. He owes me $800 in arrears now. I know he is getting his unemployment again. I got a check last week and should get another today. I hope he pays his house payment because I am getting sick of the daily phone calls from the collection people. Really sick of it. I am thinking of calling them and asking them if they want an arm or leg. Anyhow I haven't seen my Mom in a year and I miss her. I want to go down and learn how to sew. I am going to buy a sewing machine. I would like to make gifts for people and sew my own scrub tops and clothes for the dog! I am just in love with this puppy. She is so sweet and smart. She is partially housebroke. She is using the pee-pee pads right now. I discovered that getting her outside when its this cold is useless. I am going to take her over to the nursing home again tomorrow for a visit. The residents just love holding a soft, warm puppy! You should see their faces light up when they see her coming. The eyes open wide, the smiles creep on and the hands reach out! They start to coo and awww. I mixed some soft food with kibble today for the puppy and she went nuts over it. She ate the whole bowl of it. One of the cats came over to investigate and she growled. She did not growl at me. Funny when I worked at the Animal Shelter in Scotia that would be punishable by death for a puppy. They had "temperament tests" and growling at another dog or person while eating was a reason to put it to sleep. To me that is normal puppy behavior! Needless to say, they had very few dogs available for adoption. In fact I remember a whole litter of gorgeous purebred puppies came in and only one made it up for adoption. The others were put down for so called aggressive behavior during eating. Wow, all my entries are so negative lately. Sigh.... Well I hope everyone has a good day anyhow!

A terrible shame
I'm sure by now many of you have heard of the death of the young actor Heath Ledger. He was in the Patriot and Brokeback Mountain as well as other films. He was only 28 and died yesterday of an apparent drug overdose. It is such a shame that a brilliant life is stuffed out like that. I wonder if it was suicide or an accident? It is a shame when anyone dies under these circumstances. May God Bless his soul....

It's dreaded Monday
I hate Mondays. I hate going back to work after having a weekend off. I hate that it is bitter cold out too. The kids are off school today. Happy Martin Luther King day everyone! Wish I had the day off too. But hey guess what?
The Giants are going to the Superbowl. WoooHoooo! I knew they could do it! Great job guys! Sorry all you Packer's fans....
Here is Sarah with Daisy, that should make you feel better!
Hard to get a good picture of the little imp she is constantly moving. We are doing ok with potty breaking, but this infernal cold makes it hard. All she does it sit at our feet asking to be picked up! She has learned to pee if she needs to outdoors but still goes indoors. She likes to sneak behind furniture to make poos. I wish we had a small area to confine her in.
We went over to my friend Dave's last night for goulash and football. We didn't stay too long because my allergies started up. They have been being real nice to us. No mention of the Christmas disaster.
Hope everyone has a good week. Oh by the way for a good read go HERE. Carlene has some good thoughts on our government. She is a bright lady.
