Still working hard on my current “Work in Progress”. So this is another week of what is on my
mind.
1.
Have any of you been watching and reading the Steubenville
Rape trials? I have. It’s close to home. But this week, what’s bothering me about the
case is the media response. They seem
to have forgotten that this is a trial about rape. Not about the lost prospects of the rapist. I’m quite disheartened by the coverage on
the “poor boys” and not the poor victim.
What have we come to?
2.
Easter! It’s so close,
that I can all ready taste the blue peeps.
Easter is my favorite holiday.
It seems though that each year I get further and further toward the
candy and the turkey and the event, and forget the real purpose of the
day. I need to work on that this
year.
3.
Teenagers. They are
hard. I thought that the hard part of
being a parent would be the first five years.
I was so wrong. The first
fourteen years were easy. I glided
right through those years with common sense parenting and book reading and
trial and error at times. The period
from fourteen on has been horrendous. I
always thought it was nurture that would win out, but I have been proven so
wrong. Nature is the winner. You can’t override
the nature of a person no matter how hard you try, no matter how great of a
parent you are, no matter how firm a parent you are. Nature will win out. I’m
sad to say.
4.
Fire. I am wondering
if you are made from the element, if you would still feel the pain of it
against your skin? Or would it just be a part of you. I can’t decide. I can
come at it from the point of view that if you are made of fire it can’t really
burn you weather inside or outside. But
then, I wonder if maybe fire can still burn you on the outside as that is where
your pain receptors are and you would still feel the burn of it. Yeah, I still can’t decide.
So what’s on your mind this week? Anything new? Anything
weird? Anything fun? Share.
I'll right away grab your rss as I can not find your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service. Do you've any?
ReplyDeleteKindly allow me understand in order that I could subscribe.
Thanks.

Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you
ReplyDeletehave to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Heya! I know this is sort of off-topic however I had to ask.
ReplyDeleteDoes managing a well-established blog like yours take a lot
of work? I'm brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal everyday. I'd like
to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
Thankyou!

Courtney,
ReplyDeleteGoodluck to you, you're going to keep needing luck while raising teenagers! I feel for you as I was one of those horrible teens to raise. My poor mother, it didn't matter what she did I just wanted to be left alone! Please try not to take what your teens do personally. They aren't thinking and probably won't again until they leave the home! I will keep my fingers crossed for you though!
