My Happenings

Well, considering it's been so long since my last post, I hate to jump in here with something so sad, but as I signed on today, this is the headline that grab me by the throat and heart: Firefighter Finds His Children Dead at Crash Scene

I gotta tell ya, I'm still crying about it.

My husband thinks I'm too protective my my daughters, but I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as TOO protective....everyday as I look out into my neighborhood, I see children riding bikes with no helmet; at work, I see people come thru the drive-thru with children not buckled--even babies

not secured into carseats--and I have to stop and wonder if these dumb*** people care so little for the children that they can't take that extra minute to fasten them in....I mean, forgetting for a minute that it IS A LAW to buckle up....it really doesn't matter how careful a driver YOU are, all it takes is one person who falls asleep on the other side of the line, or has been drinking, or just isn't paying attention because they're on the cellphone or putting on makeup, and in a heartbeat, your whole life can change.
I didn't mean to preach this morning, but this is something very touchy for me....and if I've offended any of my readers today, I must say I'm not sorry! I hope that maybe you'll be jolted into the realization that our children are gifts from God, and I, for one,plan to do everything I can to keep them here on earth with me as long as possible.
Ok, getting down off my

now....go hug your kids! ;)
