There is so much to think about lately. I think that there is beginning to be a positive light in it all though. I looked online last night for jobs that I might be able to take after graduating and I found two jobs that are near perfection for me. One of the pays 25,000-27,000 a year. Pretty good for just starting out, I think. I am really hoping that I have a shot at something like that. I know that leaving the daycare will be hard because I love those kids so much. I felt a little jealous today while we were training the new people because one of them wouldn’t leave A alone and she has always been my little buddy. Silly, huh? I taught A some new spanish words though and she is really remembering them! I just wish there was some way to know that I am making the right decisions in my life. Where is the guarantee?

The real topic of this post is that I don’t understand some people in this world. I watch the national news when there are interesting stories. Tonight, actually right now as I write this, I am watching Nancy Grace. The big story on there tonight is about a family in which a girl died because of a diabetic coma and the family is using religion as a defense to why they sat there and let their child suffer and die. They said that in their family they simply lay their hands on the sick person and pray because they believe in the power of prayer. It’s nice that they believe in prayer but why would you not take your child to the doctor when she is suffering and on the way to death? God has provided us with a miracle cure for this and that would be insulin. Sure it came about because of medical research and all that but who provided us with the instincts, intellect, and resources to find this?  God did, of course. It doesn’t make sense that you would opt to just let her suffer. My K’s parents are big believers in the power of faith and prayer but they didn’t just pray and sit by when his mom had cancer. They prayed, yes, but they also took her in for treatment. The power of prayer helped to heal her through the treatments. Sometimes I feel that you should be required to have a license in order to have children. We have to pass a test to drive, why not to have kids? Okay so that is a little silly but at least we would have a lot less people who are stupid and irresponsible parents.

That’s all for now except that I am still getting addresses for the recipe exchange…let me know if you want in and I’ll send the email out when I have enough or close enough to the number of people!!
