Not all children go to kindergarten. Some of would dearly love for our children to be able to go to kindgarten, nothing would make our hearts happier, but due to severe health and developmental delays they won't be going. Not anytime soon and perhaps never. To that rude person who posted that it's "not an accomplishment" to go to kindergarten, let me just correct you. It IS. Every child who can grow and achieve and learn and move forward IS accomplishing things every day. When I look at my child I know she won't accomplish things at the same rate, and some things will remain forever beyond her. I don't know who you are, but I can't imagine you have children and certainly not a seriously ill one. I hope you reflect seriously on your foolish words.

What is wrong with me? BF dumped me a few weeks ago, I've heard the crap reasons he's telling other people about our relationship - but, and I'd never admit this irl - if he asked me to take him back, I would. My head has been screaming at me to get away from him since the day we met, but my damn heart is a fool. WTF is wrong with me???

I feel really bad for my neighbor. Her 3 year old son is an escape artist. He escapes from the house, sometimes in the early morning hours. The neighbors are all aware and we try to keep an eye out for him, just in case. She has been investigated by cps because he escaped and was gone for several hours before he was found a few blocks away, just chilling in someone's yard, staring up at the sky. She has done everything cps and the police have told her to do to kid-proof her doors and windows but he escaped again a few days ago. She doesn't have a strong support system and my heart goes out to her.

A friend from high school posted that she need prayers and help. She said she had been contemplating adoption for a few years and just submitted the paperwork but needing help funding the process. She went on about how even though she wasn't married or dating this felt like the next step in her life and that she set up a go fund me account and if anyone could find in their heart to go donate to help her with the adoption costs. She talked about needing to give love and she feels she would be a great mommy. Everyone starts commenting on how she would be an awesome mom and they are so proud she is taking the step alone and offering to help babysit when she needs help as well as talking about doing a baby/adoption shower. Turns out she was talking about a freaking cat the entire time!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF

R.I.P. my sweet old pup. You brought so much love and fun to our family. Thank you for being the best dog anyone could ever hope for. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.... our sad, broken hearts.

I've decided: I'm getting another tattoo and a conch piercing. Have been obsessed with this idea for a few weeks. Realized that I did this after I left my husband, and now I'm doing it again after ending things finally with my bf. For some reason, I crave the physical pain - not to mark the ending, but I think to mark the new beginning. And apparently that goes hand in hand with marking or altering my body permanently. And I'm ok with that. Even better that my mother would have hated it. Maybe this will help me to stop crying? Maybe if I do this, my heart can start to mend?

My heart hurts.

Friend doesn't believe me that her married boyfriend is yanking her chain about getting a divorce. Hello, all you gotta do is a little facebook stalking of his wife to see pics of them at kid's ballgames, out with friends, her sappy anniversary post. Doesn't look like a couple on the verge of divorce to me. She's gonna have a broken heart eventually, I do feel bad for her, even though it's her choice to stay with him.

I was just reading the story about Cameron Gallagher and the Speak Up 5K that will be held soon in her honor. She was the 16 y/o who died at the finish line of a race from an undetected heart condition. Her parents say she struggled with depression and it made me wonder if the two were related in her body? Maybe her depression was caused by her heart condition? Hmmm, curious.

Ate hearty vegetarian meals when I went on a 3-day silent meditation retreat this past weekend. Always enjoyed veggies more than meat so will see how long I can maintain this.
