A little piece of mind in a world full of what if’s

Originally posted 2017-02-09 16:50:48. If you have read all my posts you may recall when I mentioned something about Dusty and him almost getting on an ice cream truck. Kayla kept him from listening to the guy that was trying to get him on the truck.  As a parent things like this terrifies the hell out of me. Well, you would think anyone would worry about someone kidnapping a child, even more if it’s a…

Wonder

Originally posted 2018-03-15 13:39:20. Do you remember when you were growing up, going to school, playing with your neighborhood friends? Do you remember that kid that no one liked to be seen talking to? The kid that the seemingly more popular kids picked on? The kid that always seemed to be casted out of everything or everybody in school? You never saw them at school events outside the normal school day. They were always sitting by…

Dusty’s Art

Anyone have suggestions or things you may do to aid your kids? He graduated high school (2013) and well doesn’t do things like this anymore. Not on a regular anyway. There aren’t many things for these kids that graduate…

Most Annoying?

Originally posted 2019-06-04 20:28:13. Did ya’ll hear about this? What’s your opinion on it?

Some of the early years

Originally posted 2014-03-19 15:24:53. Listening to the not-so-good advice of my biological father I put my son up for adoption when I had him. On the 3rd day at the hospital I went one way and watched as he went with the foster care/social services worker. I cried thinking at the same time it would be the best thing for him. He was placed in a foster home. His name was “Alex” while in foster…
