Why Not The Safe Haven Law? May 13, 2008

I am watching Nancy Grace about a story breaking in Las Vegas.  Someone left a newborn baby boy in a trashcan of the 1st floor bathroom ofthe Excalibur casino.

Ok, many thoughts are racing and I want to strangle this woman.  Do people know about the Safe Haven Law?  You can walk up to any Safe Haven Drop Off location and simply hand the baby over with no questions asked. 

There were 3 Safe Haven locations within 3 miles of the Excalibur bathroom.  It breaks my heart.  It makes my stomach churn.  I am looking at my babies play and smile and that little spirit will never be .

I thank God that he is in His hands right now. 

Why do you think this happens?  I understand being scared but this law is so perfect…?  Why?  What is your opinion?

Daddy Patrol April 26, 2008

It’s good to be a baby girl.  You see, I am the youngest of 4 and the only girl.  Sometimes it had its downfalls but still to this day it sure has its perks.

Tonight is our first night in the new home.  We don’t have much in it and I am sleeping on the floor of the living room but I don’t care.  I love it.

So, I was laying on the floor peacefully when I heard a huge crash coming from the backyard (which was right on the other side of the wall where I was at)  I was on the phone when it happened with my husband (who was furious that he couldn’t be there for me) when I immediately hung up and called the Daddy Patrol.

Now I knew from experience what this meant.  Making this call was like calling on the troops…pulling the fire alarm…calling 911….there was no turning back.  Dad was in the car so fast without hesitation.  I was able to peek out my window to see a neighbor who came over and scouted the perimeter.  That was nice and all, but not nearly as soothing as after the Daddy Patrol does his search.

No one is more thorough and detailed.  (Well, my own hubby is…that’s why I picked him…takes a lot to fill the Daddy shoes!)  So dad did his scout and determined we were safe.  Still no idea what the sound was but that doesn’t matter anymore…Daddy said we were safe.

So…thanks Dad.  All you dads out there…you never go out of style!  You never get replaced.  We always need you.  Little girls always need their daddy’s.

Moment of Shame or Hilarity…? April 5, 2008

So my sons new thing is to make his baby sister laugh.  Well, with the help of his bigger cousin he picked up the newest method of little sister entertainment…you ready for this…?  Seriously?  (Warning…for those of you not with this generation of music it may soar right over your head…youre not missing out on much!)

So we are riding in the car (seems to be a common scene of the crimes) and my 2.5 year old looks at my 9 month old and busts out…  “furrrrrr…..low, low, low, low, low, low, low…!”  And the even better part (or worse!) she loved it and cracked up!  So…you guessed it…he sang it over and over and over!  Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!

My Mornings With Sissy February 25, 2008

Although I hate mornings and would do ANYTHING to avoid having to get up…I love it when my little girl wakes up before my son so she and I can just hang a little.  Not that I don’t enjoy my son in the morning but he wakes up very similarly to mommy…cranky.

My little bugger on the other hand is so different.. It is the coolest thing to walk in her room and the moment she seems me her arms are flailing, her legs are going crazy and I don’t think she could smile any bigger.  Plus…she loves chillin with me on the couch watching tv and talkin’!  (That ggives mommy a chance to wake up nice and slowly!  Plus, her smiley toothy grin and bubbly noises but it so much easier!)
