New posts under this one until October 1,2007... Thanks all
Hi there. I was watching TV last night. Something I havent done in ages by myself. I sent the girls down stairs to the basement to spend time with Jeff while he played his games and I sat and watched TV. I was waiting for Cold Case to come on so I turned into Home Makeover. They were remaking a Camp for kids with HIV/AIDES. It upset me to see so many kids with it or know some that has it.
You know they have adopt a solider out there for this war that we can write to and such. But I have never heard of Adopt a Kid with Aides and give them some one to write to and just have a set of eyes for them to read and laugh with. I would do it in a heartbeat if I could just find a way to do it.
Most people think they are going to get Aides by touching that person. No way you wont. You will get it if you have sex, or if you touch an open cut to an open cut. So that means no Blood brothers and sisters that kids like to play. Then on the show they went through and redid the mothers actual house also for her. They made the kids rooms the way they wanted them and it was soo coool... I wish those you would have seen it. I mean they made her a special study just for her meaning the mother and that. She is going to school and needed a few things and they got them for her.
I have been inspired alot lately on certain things. I havent heard back from Hugs from Home yet on Adopting a Solider but I hope they will find time soon to contact me or what not. Now this has inspired me to think of a way to do this. I love children and adults all the same. I mean just because some one is sick doesnt mean we have to be rude or or what not to them. If any of you have any suggestions for this I would gladly take them on how to get this off the ground.
Now on to my weekend. Jeff has been working really hard lately and has decided to work all Saturdays for the next two months to get us caught up so we arent doing much on our weekends. He is working Monday through Saturday and then only has Sundays off really. Well half days on Saturday but still. I dont blame him one bit really.
The girls are doing great. Kora really likes that link that Ortho sent me. She is trying to read more difficult books on there now. She has went through the easy books on sounding out the words but what we are doing is going back through those books and I am having her read those books to me before she clicks on a word. If she doesnt remember a word I am making her sound out the word first and if she doesnt understand what it is sounding it out yet then I let her click on the words.
I have been busy here. Our back yard needs to be mowed again but I have been lazy on doing it here. Its hot and muggy again for another few days so I will just let it go for now.
We have a orange colored cat living in our shed in the back yard. I have warned all the neighbor kids if I catch them chasing it I am calling the cops on it. I have been feeding it and giving it water. I just hope with in the next month or so it will trust me enough to come to me when it sees me. Its only a baby people. I refuse to call the Humane Society after what they did to Laura's dog. They put him to sleep without telling her first. She had the option of taking him back and trying ot give him away but they didnt and said there staff was afraid of him. OH well enough of that.
That is whats going on here. My sister in law that is due next month is having problems so she is on bedrest and they think she is going to have the baby early. But in this day and age the baby will be fine. They have so much to make sure that at 36 weeks along baby is healty and good to go. Most can even go home shortly after being born if there lungs are strong enough.
Ok. Need to go vacuum at least. I got my mopping and sweeping done yesterday and such. Have a great day my friends.
Ok this wont let me put this up top for some reason. I was just going to say I am leaving this up until the first of October. If any of you have suggestions for me thanks. I would gladly take them to start this idea going.

You have a very courageous husband, hard working, thinking of his family wellness first, I send him my congratulations.
Kitem thank you. He does work hard and he is a very loving person.
I congratulate your husband too, and you for contacting "Hugs from Home" and worrying about children with aides. Wish I could help you with that, but I don't know how to go about it myself. It proves you are a loving and caring person though, Tweetey, but I already knew that!
God bless! :)
Gayle thanks. I just watched those kids on TV last night talking about how everyone teases them and what not. I mean this one girls family was thrown out of church just because she has Aides. I wish I knew more and such. If I find a way to do this I will keep everyone posted.
Sounds like everyone there is working hard to get ahead. Good stuff. And sweet of you to take on caring for the kitten.
Jeff is a good guy to work that hard for his family. A lot of men nowadays are self-centered and won't sacrifice for their family.
I think that's a great idea about Adopt a Soldier and also about the AIDS thing. Yeah, people are scared of people with AIDS, but as long as you don't share blood or have sex, you're fine.
I don't have the foggiest idea of how to get that going - the penpal thing for the kids with AIDS. If I have any bright ideas, I'll let you know. I'm a bit fried lately.
As to your SIL, both of my girls were early. The oldest was 36 weeks, the younger 37 weeks. The older one had to be put in NICU because she wasn't regulating her temp - she was in there for 3 days. They are both healthy and fine.
Glad to hear that school is going well! Hope that your husband will only have to do the Saturday thing for a little while.
Jeannie I was brought up with animals. It broke my heart when I saw how skittish he or she was and it looked so hungry.
Zombie yes he is a very good guy to take his weekends to make more money. On his typical Saturday he makes us and extra 75 dollars.
Monica its still scary to have them early I bet. Kora was only 3 days early compared to what the drs said and Bri was a week early because of the time we decided to do the repeat C-section.
I feel really bad for those kids too. They didn't engage in risky behavior, they are just the victims of such.
I applaud your plan to be a pan pal.
Hammer thanks. I try.
You will be a great encourager to whomever you write to. I hope you get your answer soon.
Loved the comment - He's only people in regard to kitty......kitty people is lucky he found you
Gardenia yes he is very lucky he found me. If that Kitty found anyone else they wouldnt have fed him for that matter. I am just trying ot get him to trust me though. Then I will decide what to do. Jeff doesnt want a cat but if I can get him or her to trust me I can take him into the Shelter or something.
Google: AIDS pen pals. A whole bunch of sites came up.
Mom Thanks. I didnt think about that one. I will do that in a few minutes.
J really is a keeper! You can tell he is utterly devoted to his girls and to you.
Writing to a child with HIV/AIDS sounds like a very good idea.
That's good money. The thing is, it all adds up.
SME yes it is a good idea. I have another update on it and its funny when I get to it today. LOL...
Zombie it does all add up but its not like he's going to do it for ever. Just enough time to get us caught up before X-mas where we can get the girls something small at least. LOL...
