Another one bites the dust..... unfollowed.... again..... my goodness is it my BREATH....

Is it my breath?

I swear I will carry a bottle of listerine in my purse just in case

Is it the hair above my lip?

I promise I will pluck that darn thing like nobody's business. It is kind of disgusting. I know.... it kills me everytime I look in the mirror and realize that I am getting old and these darn hairs.... are right there staring people down. Pointing straight at them. Ready to poke out an eye. I AM WORKING on it people... I am.

My hairy legs.....

Oh gee wiz peeps... it is winter alright!.... It is cold.... I wear pants...... well sometimes skirts and I make sure to use my lady SUPER razor for all of those stubborn hairs..... on my legs...... all braided and stuff....... I know disgusting.... I disgust myself.....

My aging teeth that have taken the color of creme to yellowish yellow

I just purchased some whitening strips.. ok!.. the pressure...... I can't always look PERFECT!

THANK YOU very much for reminding me.. that I am getting older and I am not getting any younger and I SO need to get over the fact that sometimes.. just sometimes..... people do not appreciate my talented filled posts with a whole lot of RUN on sentences........ misspellings... sometimes a few curse words may appear.... or just plain stupid stories....

I understand that not everyone can see that beneath all that is SOME brillant stuff and you should be lucky to read them. LOL :)

Thank you to all who stick around in the good, the bad, and the plain  um ya...... you know silly.

Have a great week.

Yes, I am an orphan but I am thankful

......I was BORN

 ... I know my "forever family" is out there looking for me.

....God promised me He wouldn't leave me in this mental institution.

...God has a plan for my life!

...NEXT YEAR I could be home with my family!

...I can still smile through my loneliness.

...I'm waiting at the end of Reece's Rainbow

....I have a chance to find my "forever family"....and I know I won't have to wait much longer.

Reece's Rainbow raises money

to help families afford the high cost of adopting orphans with Down syndrome internationally.

These children languish in orphanages and mental institutions around the world.

Their human value and amazing potential is not recognized, and they are often left to perish alone.

In only 4 years, thegifts

and

advocacy efforts of individuals

and

groups such as you have made it possible

for more than 350+ children with Down syndrome

and

other special needs to be adopted into loving "forever families".

DONATIONS during our Christmas Angel Tree Projectand throughout the year ensure that ALL of these kids never have to spend another Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, birthday....ALONE.

1) Forward this email to everyone you know

2) Post http://www.reecesrainbow.org/ throughout Facebook

3) Watch and share our Christmas video

4) Encourage friends and family from all over the world, regardless of faith or nationality, to help save the life of a beautiful, deserving orphan with Down syndrome.

This is the one where I almost died, not really but in my mind I did

As I get older, I find myself worrying about everything. Every pain, every itch, every episode of anything. I worry. The scenerios run through my mind.  KNOWLEDGE is sometimes a bad thing for me. What can happen.

Well, I was having excruciating pain on my right side that felt LIKE I was being stabbed time after time. I tried stretching the area, breathing deeply, took a motrin. I finally had to lay down it hurt so bad. The pain shot up my side and the scenerios start running:

I might have appendicitis

I start remembering the organ chart just to be
sure what is on that side.

My liver
My stomach
Maybe my kidneys
Maybe a cyst
Maybe a tumor


Dang it I can't miss work!!!!!!!!!!
UGHHHH..... this hurts like a mother!!!!

THEN it happened!

I TOOTED! A big one!!!

Ahhhhh relief..........

Thank goodness I didn't call the doctor LOL.

NOTE TO SELF: Don't make a fool of yourself and be a drama queen and think you are dying because it could be gas. :)

WHO knew gas was so freakn painful.... my word!

:)

Below you'll find a letter that you can use, or write your own.

Dear (name),





I am writing to you today regarding a VERY urgent situation. Many families in the US are currently in the process of adopting children from orphanages in Ukraine. Most of these children are older or disabled. American families adopting these children offer them what may be their only opportunity at a normal and productive life free of crime, prostitution, or institutionalization due to illnesses that are treatable in the United States. I personally know one of these families.

On November 3, 2010, the Ukrainian parliament voted to proceed with voting on legislation that would halt all international adoptions until inter-country adoption agreements are in place (see the State Dept. announcement at http://adoption.state.gov/news/ukraine.html) . At this point, all that is needed for this to become law is one more vote in Ukrainian parliament and a signature by the Ukrainian president. This could happen any day. If it does, many families and innocent children will be greatly affected. I personally know one of these families.

I am writing to you to urge you to act quickly on this matter by 1. Contacting your Ukrainian cohorts and requesting a consideration of revision of the law to allow adoptions to proceed while the agreement is being drafted (as was done in Russia) and 2. Work with your colleagues in congress to begin drafting this agreement so that it is ready to go in the event the law passes.

Thank you for your timely consideration of this urgent matter!

Please take the time to write these letters. Please forward this to all your friends and families. Post on facebook or twitter or wherever else people may read it and help out.

You CAN do something!! Please help, spread the word, post this to your blog, write letters, and help the government see how important this is!!!

Happy Sunday!

Have a great one!

Life is great until you find out that you have been walking all day with a hole in your pants.

Leave it  to me to make myself look like an ass. Yep good ol' me. Didn't notice it at all. Not once. I know an idiot. It wasn't until I went to the restroom at the end of my 8 hour day that I noticed while sitting on the pot THAT MY PANTS HAD HOLE right smack in the middle of my butt.

OH MY GOODNESS!

 the HORROR!!!!!!

I have moved to a new department in the hospital..... I am sure I have made a GREAT impression. :) and you know me I like to do things in a dramatic way. SO ya why not show  my cute underwear right from the start....!!!

Oh brother....


How did your day go?

Deleting me, blocking me still won't stop me!! -Why do I post about ORPHANS with special needs

Some have become annoyed with  my posts regarding special needs orphans abroad needing forever families. I have been defriended or my posts blocked because it makes them uncomfortable or just plainly stated I ANNOY them.

I don't care!!!!


I really don't. I think about them everyday. I visit Reece's Rainbow everyday and look at those faces and ball my eyes out.  I BLOG to do something. I know it is the very least in the needs of these precious children but at least I am doing something.

Keep on deleting me, blocking me, judging me, etc.

It is ok.


All I am asking for you all to do is pass the word around... JUST as easy everyone can POST their BRA color on their facebook status. IT is just as easy to HIT THE SHARE BUTTON ON one of my posts.

I have to deal with your FARMVILLE posts on what level you are or what you need. YOUR mafia posts about needing certain weapons... YOUR music choices, YOUR results of your quizzes.


I think you can put up with my few posts about CHILDREN needing families........................... I found this website and blog a year& 1/2 ago and I am obsessed with these faces. I think about them in the morning and when I go to sleep.


LOOK at this picture below. I took this from a fellow blogger who recently adopted a child from Reece's Rainbow.  She is amazing. Her mission to spread the word has motivated me so much more. I admire her and hope soon I can help one child.

 THIS PICTURE IS FROM 2006  from an institution in eastern europe.

 This is what happens when they go to the mental institutions.  Neglected and abused........ GO ahead LOOK away! Put it out of your mind.. I CAN'T... so I will continue to blog.

LOOK at these precious faces this is my WHY ..... and so I blog....... and I blog.

THEY are transferred at the age of 4 YEARS OLD.

With orphans that are  from ages 4-18 years old.

With very few caretakers and attention. :(

 Soon are forgotten

Spread the word, it only takes a few seconds. I always will be there to repost something important to you. YOU CAN COUNT on me :)

LOVE you all,

G
