Maybe this idea has been thrown around for Madison?

I was just thinking about John Walsh, host of America's Most Wanted. The thing is, he had a kid that was kidnapped/molested (?)/murdered.

I know the grandpa in Madison's situation isn't a fugitive who is wanted, but do you think that John Walsh, as outstanding a figure as he is with kid safety, would want to know about something like this? I am thinking yes. *shrugs*

Anne or someone else may have thought of this long ago and I missed it, but just in case the idea wasn't introduced, I thought I'd send it out there and see what you guys think.

Thanks!

Don't know if this has been brought up to help Madison...

But I am hitting yahoo chat rooms right now with links. They have parent/family chat rooms, and that applies I think! Next I am hitting the religious chats to see what they think.

So yeah, maybe if anyone else has yahoo accounts or some other kind that gets into chat rooms, the word can spread even faster! Smile

Thanks!

Lalalalala.

Ah!

My house is clean in every corner, my kids got all the classes they want and even have teachers they adore, my mom took me out to lunch, and my stress level is back to normal. So, so nice.

I just want to curl up in a big blanket and watch comedies all night.

But...tonight is open house at the middle school.

I am thinking of playing hooky. lol.

It's over.

This week is finally, gratefully, over. And, so is my marriage.

Even tonight he made sure to tell me that I've always made too big of a deal about the SD's behavior. He also told me he would never think she was as "bad" as I thought she was.

You guys rule.

OK. Woke up feeling less hopeless today, and a big part of that has been due to the kindness I've been shown here. You have no idea how much it means to me to have you all, and with the level of prayers going out...who knows what that can mean for my best friend. Ya know?

I think I've cried it out, which was my intention. Monday was bad news, Wednesday was much worse....but I think I've gotten the "what if" negativity out of me. I needed to do that and really feel it, so when my girl is going through this I can be strong for her when she can't be.

thanks for prayers....now she REALLY needs them.

my friend just called after a follow up with her doc.

oh gawd. F#CK. i can't wrap my arms around this.

she's, uh, man i cant type it. They say she's the "T" word. Stage 4, and they're goal is to prolong her life, that's all, it's going to keep spreading, y'all. they can't stop it. already had another opinion. she waited to tell me until she knew. It's over? Just like THAT? Why?

I'm her sons G*dmother and I just...I don't know.

I'm going to throw up.

An explanation....and a prayer request.

OK, yesterday I went OFF in a crazy-mad post, then went off on a person who left a comment.

Here's the thing.

I just found out that my best friend was diagnosed with cancer...again. It began in one place, and she fought it like hell. After a year in chemo and surgeries she was told she was clear...only to get this new news 2 months later.

This woman is 33! She loves garden fresh vegetables and is fit/thin. I guess I just thought what so many others did/do, cancer doesn't happen to people who are young and eat right. Right? Wrong.

Vent. (very angry post out of nowhere)

This is me...being insane. *sigh* I just re-read what I typed and I am wondering if I should be in a straight jacket or something. lol. Feel free to ignore this post, btw.

OMG this week has been trying to kill me and other people I know. I wish this was a joke but it isn't. I am about to come unglued. When it happens, and it is a matter of WHEN and not IF, it'll be felt all around the world. Yes, even where you are.

Am I wrong?

OK, here goes the school story, which is causing a lot of fights/anger/annoyance between the "D"H and me.

When I was still insane and determined to stay with the whole clan at the end of last school year, I knew that SD would be going from middle school to high school...where my oldest son was last year, and will be for the next few years.

Well, my son always had an issue with that. SD drives him up the wall and he wants NOTHING to do with the girl.
