Can we feed the children FIRST????????????

I know we all have something that just irks us to no end.  We stew on it and sleep on it and it never resolves.

My longtime "irk" has been commercials to save animals and of course, PETA.

Don't get me wrong.  I love animals and have had quite a few from fish to dogs.

But come on people, isn't it more important to feed all the children in the United States that don't have enough to eat????????????

There are thousands in my state living way below the poverty line.  I have read statistics about how many are starving, but you can make stats go where you want them.  We are know that, right???

I realize animals need help too, but I would love to see all these celebrities speak up for the children!!!

The Food Network is doing a great service with their program, but it surely isn't enough.

I do not believe for one second that there is any reason a child should no be fed...and that is being fed before the poor animals.  If you have a choice and can only contribute to one or the other, can you really live with choosing an animal???????????  And let the child starve???????  And I won't even get into the problem of abuse.

Every time I see a commercial showing those poor mistreated animals, I do feel badly for them.  But it just fuels my fire to not see the same thing for children!!!

That is all for today. Please feel free to join my efforts.  Thanks for reading.

OK, so I lied and did not write for almost two days!! SHOOT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

This is not as easy as it seems when you read someone else's blog.  I just had to keep on keeping on and that is my plan.  It is kind of like quitting smoking, you just say tomorrow is another day.

I am still "vaping" and I don't stink anymore!!  Yea....that is according to my lovely grandchildren.

I have been reading a lot of books and articles on polymer clay and really haven't done any work of any kind.  I did extrude some late last night to start another jar and some pens.  I hope to sell these
soon.

I did attend a JV basketball game for my Destiny, and they won!  Just 12 more games to go!!  I am so glad gas has gone down.  I really need to get my Etsy doing better just to buy gas.  OH, and propane to keep warm. 

Friday is a good day as I always get to pick up my two grands from school and keep them for a while.
So my 5yo, Tre, is in kindergarten and wants to be picked up at 3 instead of 3:20 when school lets out.  I figure no big deal at this age, until he told me the reason was he wouldn't have to do much cleanup!!  A typical boy who wants to come to MeMa's and go outside and play a full football game all by himself!  An amazing child, very intelligent, and into all sports.  Can hold his own with any grown man, especially about football.

My Destiny stays for basketball practice, so I pick her up at 4:30 pm, and they are never finished.  Tre likes that because he can go to the other end of the court and dribble and shoot to his little heart's content.

I hope to have more to say and something more interesting for you tomorrow!  I may even make some glass beads. 

White light to all in need (which to me is everybody!)

Well, it has taken me several hours to get here, but here I am!!

My little empire.     My top priority are my grandchildren, Destiny, 13, and Tre, 5.  They are the light of my life. 

I want to mainly talk about smoking and my efforts to quit.  Two days ago, I started using an e-cig and I am really excited!  Not even a twinge to have a "real" cigarette.  How great is that???

My friends on LampworkEtc.com are trying also and we have a thread that is going on to help us all stay on the non-smoking path.

I also found this:


I have also gotten rid of  rectal cancer last year, so if anyone is interested, I can tell you all about that sordid tale.

I do a lot of crafts, but right now I am excited to get into polymer clay.  I started a few months ago and I love it!!

I also have been making glass beads (lampworking) since 2006.  I quilt, knit, crochet, beadwork,etc,etc!!! LOL

Just let me know what you need, and I can probably find it in my "store" in my spare room.  I am always willing to share.

So for now I am off and will speak to you tomorrow.  Pleasant dreams.
