2010 has been a terrible year for Charlie and I both.
With that said it started out in January. I had my first miscarriage. I had to carry my child in a ziplock bag to the Emergency room bawling my eyes out after I had a depo-prevra shot. They failed to do a pregnancy test on me. I thank god for my sister/cousin Danielle for driving me and keeping me sane.
All throughout the year it has been terrible. My family on my Dad's side pretty much turned against me. Which then rules out all the 12 family parties a year my sister, nephews, mom and dad go to. I do feel left out, but I will never speak to them again without an apology from all of them.
Charlie had major surgery to remove a cyst and was in extreme pain with 10 stitches for 8 weeks.
Charlie and I have almost divorced several times and were in the works of signing papers in November right before Thanksgiving. That was so devastating. I couldn't even fathom breaking our family apart.
Then right before Christmas I went to the ER (multiple times) in extreme pain and found out I might have endometriosis and 2 large cysts on my ovaries. Pending Surgery. I might be infertile and I found out that William was most likely a miracle child. Count your blessings, every child is a miracle. Planned or not.
Needless to say I am so ready to start this new year. Fresh.
My New Years Resolution is to start eating healthier, taking William on more walks, being a better mother then I already am, quit smoking cigarettes and getting off all my medications.
I know that's a lot, but I know I can do it... With a little prayer.
I hope everyone stays SAFE for the New Year, and Love to all.
Love,
Anna

One thing.
Till death do us part. So who is dying? I'm not.
One thing that will NEVER change... I will always be a Mom. I will always be his Mom.
No matter what happens in life, I will never leave him and he will never leave me. I will love him unconditionally till death do we part. Mom dies first. I love you bubby.
Yesterday:
I had an amazing day yesterday shooting Bernie. Jack Black was awesome. I saw my first shooting star and after everything that happened last night... It was much needed. Anyways, that's all for now.
Until the next facebook status change.

Nobody is Perfect.
Why is it when someone is just like you, you bump heads?
When someone is the total opposite of you, you bump heads.
There has to be that perfect middle in order to have a good friendship and/or a good relationship. If it's a good relationship, you need a good romance as well. You gotta be able to agree on that. If those don't line up or you don't work together, then basically you're screwed.
I'm trying to put my feet on the ground, reevaluate my life and try to look into the future 10 years. Where do I see myself? Still fighting? Still emotionally drained? Still feeling like I am bring kicked in the side every time I lay my head on my pillow?
That's not how I see it. So, as for you reading this, I say pray for me. I need it. I may be silent, but I'm suffering mentally and physically. I'm still trying to act myself, for William's sake while I get my shit together.

Dear William, Letters from Mom. (Continued)
If you didn't see my last blog post I had posted letters that I had wrote to my kiddo before he was born. It's September already and in 24 days my son will be 3 years old and I cannot believe it. I'm in shock. Here are the letters I wrote to my bubby after his birth. You can tell when I slacked is when William was going in and out of the hospital and sick all the time. *Tissues needed for the Mama.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
November 3rd 2007 1 Month 1 week and 1 day old
To my love,
Wow honey, what a month! It was love at first sight. True love. Daddy and I are so happy you came to live with us. :) Even when you eat every 2 hours during the night!
Here are some reasons why I love you...
*When you smile you reassure mommy of her purpose in life.
* You made us a Family.
* When you smile, I have never in my life experienced just joy.
* I just love you and don't need any reason.
I love you Bubby,
Mommy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
November 14th 2007
My lil' Bubby,
Geez, I love you so much. Mommy loves to snuggle you to sleep! The past week you have been sleeping on my arm beside Daddy and myself. We love you so much....
Love Always and Forever,
Mommy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
January 7th 2008
Mr. William Frank Ellis,
Wow, you are growing so so fast! I can't believe it! You will be 4 months old on the 26th and I can't wait! That's when you can have solid foods!
Love,
Mommy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
January 9th 2008
Bubby,
I love you so much. Always remember that. Even when you cry for hours straight. It's okay baby, cause Mommy knows it's not your fault. I just want your tummy to feel better. You're growing so fast.
I love you son,
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
February 6th 2008
To Mommy's Giggly Ball of Happiness,
Wow, you're 4 months old! I cannot believe it! In that 4 months you have grown so much. All you ever do is smile, giggle and make me the most proud mommy in the world!
All I can hope and pray for is that you have a full and happy life. That's my dream. I just hope I can give you everything you could ever possibly want!
I see me in you. You are me continued on! I would die for any of my family, but I have never been so content with passing away. If we were ever in any situation that it was either you or me... I wouldn't even have to blink to know the answer. I have never experienced that kind of love!! Well, of course with your Daddy, but I didn't realize it until now. I love you so much!
We just got back from Lake Charles. We had a great visit. Everyone loves you so so much! Last time we went down there everyone said you look just like your daddy... now this time they said you look more and more like me! But every time you look at me and raise those eyebrows with those big beautiful blue eyes with those long long thick eyelashes... You look just your Daddy! You're melting my heart every time I look at you!
You know besides your Daddy's personality, his eyes and his "look" is why I fell in love with him! You have his eyes and his look baby boy! You are going to make some special woman a great husband!
When I am not having such a great day, you look at me and make it all better.
You're making more and more squeals and noises! I love it! Soon you will be able to say Mama and Dada!
I love you more then you'll ever know,
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
February 9th 2008
Mr. William Ellis,
Hey Mommy's boy! You're getting so big! You're now saying, "ahh" and "daaa". Soon you will be saying Dada and Mama.
You went to Church for your first time today. You slept right through it, too! Everybody loved you there!
I think you might be getting sick for your first time! Yikes! Poor baby... You have fever, Rosey cheeks, congestion, cough & sneezing. I'm going to take you to the doctor tomorrow. I hate you being sick! It hurts my heart!!
I love you,
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love,
Mom

April 27th 2008 7 months and 1 day old
William,

I love you,
Mama
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 2nd 2008
Big Mama's lil' Bambino,
Your Big Mama passed away less then a week ago. I just want you to know how much she loves you. The last thing she ever wrote was "He slobbers". She wanted you so bad. She couldn't cause she was on life support. She loves you more then anything and anyone.
Love,
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 5th 2008
William,
I am completely amazed with you! You're growing like crazy. You ate spaghetti for you first time tonight.
I really wish I could call your Big Mama and tell her. She loved you more than words could ever express. You're the one keeping Nana together right now.
You mean so much to everyone. Your Aunt Angie and cousins are coming into town this weekend. Tonight actually. I'm excited for you to play with your cousins and spend time with them. Write more later.
Love,
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 8th 2008
Mr. Fit Thrower,
Yes Sir'. You are now throwing fits! You throw yourself backwards and flop around on the floor. It's kinda funny.
Your Daddy's first Fathers Day is coming up. I have a few ideas on what we are going to make him. You're gonna help me, right big boy?
I love you more than anything! Always remember that!
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
July 23rd 2008
Mr. William Ellis,
You are so funny. All you ever do is laugh. When you do laugh, you snort. You said "cracker" today and "love you" 2 days ago. You can walk while holding onto things. I cannot believe you're about to be 10 months old. Wow. 2 more months then you'll be a year old. How time flies when you are having fun!
I love you!
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
September 7th 2008
Bubby,
Can you believe you're about to have your first birthday? I can't!! You're so funny. You dance to Mikey Mouse, talk randomly and I just saved you from shutting your thumb in a drawer. I love you so much. Always remember Mommy's handsome man!
Love,
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
October 8th 2008 1 year and 2 weeks
Mommy's big 1 year old,
What a year it has been! You started walking about 2-3 weeks before your birthday and you started running about 2 days after your birthday.
You're so smart baby. You know open and close, peek a boo, come on and everything. I love you so much!
I am so proud of you!!!
Love Always,
Mom

I think that is it.

Dear William in the womb, Letters from Mom.
As September comes upon us so does my son William's 3rd birthday. I don't know where that time has went, so I would like to go back into time and read to you the letters I have written to him since the day I found out I was pregnant. Some of them may mention some of you guys. Some are tear jerkers and mention My Big Mama and Granny whom have went to heaven. I hope you enjoy reading them. I will post the letters I have written AFTER William was born ASAP. :)
My first letter to him:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To our baby-
Today is February 7th, 2007 and I just found out I'm pregnant. I could never be happier. Your daddy and I will be going from here tomorrow to go to Austin to go see your Big Daddy, Nana, Aunt Desi, Aunt Angie and your cousins Charlie and Chance. They don't know that your mommy is pregnant, just yet. They will know tomorrow. I can't wait to meet you, because your daddy and I can't imagine the joy you will bring to us. I love you already!
Love, Mommy :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunday April 8th 2007 14 weeks and 5 days
I think I felt you kick the other day. I can't wait until your strong and big enough to kick daddy. hehe.
I have a little less than 23 days till I find out what you are! Then Mommy is going to go shopping! Oh how Mommy likes to shop for baby!
I believe either the 16th or the 17th Mommy and Daddy are getting married! I can't wait. We are flying out to Vegas. I think it's just going to be your Poppy, Nana, Big Daddy (and of course mommy and daddy) are going to be there.
Mommy can't wait to meet you. I can't watch my regular baby shows without crying cause I know that when I meet you it will be love at first sight.
Love Always,
Mommy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 6th 2007
Baby Boy,
Well I am 23 weeks and 1 day pregnant with you... Only 17 or so weeks to go!! I cannot wait to get to hold you.
Your daddy and I are talking about a perfect name for you... We haven't found one yet, but hopefully soon. Friday, the 8th, you're going to "meet" your Granny and Big Mama. Then Saturday is the Family reunion which we get to compare you to your cousin, Harlie. You and her should only be a few days apart. I'm sure y'all will be close. I'm going to wake your Daddy up.
I love you,
Mommy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 9th 2007
Hey Little One!
Just wanted to write and say you "met" your Granny, Big Mama and your cousin Harlie. You have officially been to 3 states! You not even born yet! I can't wait till I can hold you. I keep seeing little baby boys and I can't help but want to hold and kiss them. I'm still not sure what theme will be. I find everything that says Daddy's little boy, but no Mommy's little boy stuff. It's okay I know you will be a mama's boy... cause I love you so much already. You're going to be the first to make me a mother so that means you are extra special.
Your Daddy loves you, too. He has felt you kick twice. Your Nana, Big Daddy and Aunt Sheila have felt you kick also. They love it. I love it. I sometimes move you when I am lonely. You make me so happy. You just get to kickin' and you make me laugh and I'm not so lonely anymore. I hope I can make you just as happy.
I love you Baby,
Mom
PS. You just kicked again. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 10th 2007
Mommy's boy...
Well we are in Lake Belton... Your Big Daddy and Daddy are fixing a lift. I noticed something the other day... I can drink caffiene or eat anything and you wont kick for nothing, but as soon as I eat any kind of meat you kick like there is no tomorrow. You're already acting like your Daddy and you aren't even born yet!! Ahh! hehe... I'm 23 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I'm going to make a little calender for you so we can all guess when you will be here. Gotta go!
I love you!
Mommy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 20th 2007
Hey Mommy's Baby,
I'm 25 weeks and 1 day pregnant with you! Your kicks get stronger every day. You're about 13 1/2 inches long and about 2 pounds. Daddy and I are getting more and more excited. We are getting closer and closer to finding that perfect name for you. I think we have finally found out that your theme will be Baby Saints... I'm sure you will be the "biggest" little Saints fan! Daddy's little boy. Well, write more later.
I love you,
Mommy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 21st 2007
Little One,
Well Mommy has a new Doctor. I had to change doctors since we aren't in Lake Charles anymore. His name is Benjamin Supnet. He was very nice. I had to get blood drawn... again... You're worth every drop though! I might be a gestasional diabetic. Lets hope not. That wouldn't be any good at all.
I love you,
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
July 13th 2007
William?
I think we have finally decided on a name for you. Looks like your cousin is going to be born this weekend. I'm really glad you're not coming this early. She is 2 months away from her due date. We are Poppy, Aunt Shannon and Cousin Aiden soon! Mommy is 7 months pregnant.
I love you!
Mom

We just got back from Lake Charles Sunday late night. Everyone is very excited to have a "little Charlie". You are defenently going to be just like your Daddy... and that's fine with me.I have exactly 7 more weeks till my due date! How exciting!! I cannot wait!
We love you very very much!

Hey Scooter!
Guess who felt your hiccups for the first time yesterday? Nana had her hand on you after Mommy had drank some sweet tea.... You were just kicking away then you started hiccuping! Nana tried to scare you like Daddy did the other day, but it didn't work. It lasted about 5 minutes every 15 seconds or so. It was so different! Very strong! You should be about 5 pounds and gaining 1/2 a pound a week! Mama's big boy! I have a doctors appointment friday! Ten I have to pre-register at the hospital. Then Sunday is Mommy's baby shower. I love you baby boy!
Love you!
Mommy

Hey sweet baby!
Your Aunt Shannon and I were talking today and she cannot wait to meet you! She is counting down the days till your due date. You're about 18 inches and over 5 pounds. Mommy's big boy! You're almost twice the size of Harlie. Mommy worries about your cousin!
I just got a bad phone call and your Big Mama might not make it to meet you. It's breaking Mommy's heart.
I love you,
Mom

Baby William,
So Mommy went to the doctor Thursday, the 20th. You would never guess what I found out! Well, Dr. Supnet measured mommy's tummy and he said, "Oh God that can't be right!" and he measured it again and it came out the same, So mommy had an ultrasound and he said you were already a 9 pound baby! Good lord! I am 2 weeks away from my due date! My little Chubby butt linebacker! hehe! Daddy just smiled ear to ear when I told him. I have a scheduled C-Section for Wednesday the 26th at 12pm. I'm so scared, but I know you are so worth the all the pain!
I love you,
Mom
My first letter to him:

To our baby-
Today is February 7th, 2007 and I just found out I'm pregnant. I could never be happier. Your daddy and I will be going from here tomorrow to go to Austin to go see your Big Daddy, Nana, Aunt Desi, Aunt Angie and your cousins Charlie and Chance. They don't know that your mommy is pregnant, just yet. They will know tomorrow. I can't wait to meet you, because your daddy and I can't imagine the joy you will bring to us. I love you already!
Love, Mommy :)

Mommy can't wait to meet you. I can't watch my regular baby shows without crying cause I know that when I meet you it will be love at first sight.
Love Always,

June 6th 2007
Baby Boy,
Well I am 23 weeks and 1 day pregnant with you... Only 17 or so weeks to go!! I cannot wait to get to hold you.
Your daddy and I are talking about a perfect name for you... We haven't found one yet, but hopefully soon. Friday, the 8th, you're going to "meet" your Granny and Big Mama. Then Saturday is the Family reunion which we get to compare you to your cousin, Harlie. You and her should only be a few days apart. I'm sure y'all will be close. I'm going to wake your Daddy up.
I love you,
Mommy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 9th 2007
Hey Little One!
Just wanted to write and say you "met" your Granny, Big Mama and your cousin Harlie. You have officially been to 3 states! You not even born yet! I can't wait till I can hold you. I keep seeing little baby boys and I can't help but want to hold and kiss them. I'm still not sure what theme will be. I find everything that says Daddy's little boy, but no Mommy's little boy stuff. It's okay I know you will be a mama's boy... cause I love you so much already. You're going to be the first to make me a mother so that means you are extra special.
Your Daddy loves you, too. He has felt you kick twice. Your Nana, Big Daddy and Aunt Sheila have felt you kick also. They love it. I love it. I sometimes move you when I am lonely. You make me so happy. You just get to kickin' and you make me laugh and I'm not so lonely anymore. I hope I can make you just as happy.
I love you Baby,
Mom
PS. You just kicked again. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 10th 2007
Mommy's boy...
Well we are in Lake Belton... Your Big Daddy and Daddy are fixing a lift. I noticed something the other day... I can drink caffiene or eat anything and you wont kick for nothing, but as soon as I eat any kind of meat you kick like there is no tomorrow. You're already acting like your Daddy and you aren't even born yet!! Ahh! hehe... I'm 23 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I'm going to make a little calender for you so we can all guess when you will be here. Gotta go!
I love you!
Mommy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 20th 2007
Hey Mommy's Baby,
I'm 25 weeks and 1 day pregnant with you! Your kicks get stronger every day. You're about 13 1/2 inches long and about 2 pounds. Daddy and I are getting more and more excited. We are getting closer and closer to finding that perfect name for you. I think we have finally found out that your theme will be Baby Saints... I'm sure you will be the "biggest" little Saints fan! Daddy's little boy. Well, write more later.
I love you,
Mommy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June 21st 2007
Little One,
Well Mommy has a new Doctor. I had to change doctors since we aren't in Lake Charles anymore. His name is Benjamin Supnet. He was very nice. I had to get blood drawn... again... You're worth every drop though! I might be a gestasional diabetic. Lets hope not. That wouldn't be any good at all.
I love you,
Mom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
July 13th 2007
William?
I think we have finally decided on a name for you. Looks like your cousin is going to be born this weekend. I'm really glad you're not coming this early. She is 2 months away from her due date. We are Poppy, Aunt Shannon and Cousin Aiden soon! Mommy is 7 months pregnant.
I love you!
Mom

Being a SAHM is a JOB. Period.
When the question comes up in a conversation, "Where do you work?", I obviously give them my title of "I am a Stay at Home Mom.".
For everyone who doesn't have kids they always reply with, "Well that must be plush and nice to not work."
Excuse me?
Besides the headaches, cooking, feeding, cleaning, tantrums, wiping of the butt and diaper changes, more cleaning, more cooking, more wiping of the butt and diaper changes, tantrums, entertaining the kid(s), even worse headaches, more cooking, more feeding, tantrums, more wiping of the butt and diaper changes, bathing the kid, putting/fighting the kid (or kids in some woman's cases) to bed, finding time with your significant other with your now migraine while getting little sleep.
Waking up around 7 something in the morning to do it all over again.
Yeah, it's plush. That's when the child is healthy.
Don't get me wrong, it's rewarding. I'm not griping, I just wish it was recognized as a legit job without pay other then unlimitedtantrums, drop kicks, migraines, kisses.
Take today for instance... Just for an example. I hate disciplining William, but "spare the rod spoil the child".
William has caught onto a few bad habits that he caught onto from another child- It's not going to fly. AT ALL. I spent all day yesterday sitting him down, talking to him, doing everything I possibly can to help him with out spanking him. I had a migraine by midday even with my migraine medicine. Today was the breaking point. I was in his room with him and we we're cleaning it. I was cleaning it. I was asking him over and over to help me. He wouldn't. He just went behind me and messed up everything I did and even had the never to punch me in the stomach twice while I was cleaning. UM. NO. I sat him down for the millionth time and told him if he doesn't stop he was going to get a spanking and sit in the corner.
Do you really think that helped? No.
He went into the other room. So I said, "William come here!" I was going to ask him to put his stuffed animals on his bed for me... He in return stomped into his room and proclaimed, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?"
That my friends is a Mother's breaking point. He didn't learn that from us. After his spanking he got to put his nose in the corner till I was done cleaning his room. It was so peaceful.
I am happy to report that after I was done cleaning, we talked, AGAIN.
I asked him if he knew why he was in trouble... guess what he said? "Yes, ma'am."
Everything from then on has been "Yes Ma'am" and "Yes Sir' ".
So when someone says they are a stay at home mom, never say they have it good... or they have it plush. Thank you.
PS. If you have more then 1 child or Twins you are my hero. All SAHMs are HEROS! :)
For everyone who doesn't have kids they always reply with, "Well that must be plush and nice to not work."

Drugs Are Bad... MMMKay?
Charlie's surgery was today. He had his Pilonidal cyst removed.
I now have 2 children. 1 is worse then the other. My almost 3 year old is thegood one.
Something's I learned today:
*Seton Southwest Hospital has no Cafeteria. BOO!
*Never leave your 20oz Redbull at home. It makes for a horrible morning.
*Reading cosmopolitan makes time go fast. Yay for reading about how great everyone else's sex life is!
*After 4 1/2 years and 2 hospital stays, my husband took narcotics. Given through his IV and given right after surgery. Have a camera on next time.
Quotes of the day fromDopey Charlie:
*Right after he got out of recovery, he woke up and was totally messed up. Obviously. He told the nurse in the hospital, "I feel like I just smoked a lot of weed."
* On the way home as he laid in the back of the car, "I found it. I found Atlantis. We went down into the Lava, then took a ship back up into the water and found Atlantis."
* On the way home as he laid in the back of the car, "You know what sounds really good? Chocolate cornbread."
This should be an interesting night.

Madden 11
So if you know me, you already know how much I love my Saints.
If you do not know know, I consider football my religion and the New Orleans Saints are my football team. The Who Dat Nation are my family. Madden came out at 12am Tuesday. (Or Monday late night, however you want to look at it.) On the cover my Hero, Drew Brees! An Austin native and a man whose heart, like mine, is in New Orleans.
The intro to Madden brought back all the memories of the past season and how much joy it brought my family. Phew, It sure knew how to tear a girl up.
All over a video game? Of course.Seriously, crying for football? Some people dream of being half this passionate about something.
Of course, my proudest moment, was William saying... "It's my turn! I wanna be DREW BREES!!"
That's all for now, we have some serious Madden to play.

Million Bucks & A Death... What Would You Do?
So I finally watched "The Box" with Cameron Diaz the other night. It was an okay movie. It had a good story line and it made you wonder, but it could have been so much better.
Like I do with most movies I like to debate before I watch them. Here is what went down...
My Point of View:
If someone put a box in front of me and told me everything that was told to her which was, "You get a million dollars, but someone that YOU DO NOT KNOW will die." I still could not do it. Why? Cause that is not the person I am. I'm not just saying that. I mean think about it. It could be someone's mother, father, child, etc... No thank you, nobody's life is worth any amount of money. I'd tell them to shove it and let that be that. I would consult Charlie about it, but I would make sure he saw it my way- the humane way.
Charlie's Point of View:
(keep in mind we are total opposites)
If someone put the box in front of him he said that he would not even let the guy finish telling him everything, he would just hit the button. No consulting me, no fear for the other human's life. Nothing. He just wanted the money.
I'm sure glad this is a fictional story.
Spoilers:
If you haven't watched the movie and plan to... I wouldn't read on until you do. I'm not going to give away EVERYTHING, but you know... ;)
I could never imagine my child being blind and deaf. I cried during that part of the movie, because that was actually my worst fear during my pregnancy. I think he was actually annoyed, because I kept repeating over and over during the movie... "You better shoot me in the heart if that ever means William has a normal life in any kind of situation like that." When she didn't want to see her son like that, I totally related. I wouldn't either. Then again I would want to say goodbye.
How could you? He is blind and deaf? Because of your selfish ways.
Moral of the story: Money is great, but Human life is greater.

Okay, show is over already....
I refused to give the human caffeine... So he, in return, issued the following statement: "Mommy, you're not my best friend anymore."
The story is still developing, but it sounds to me like the show is over folks.
The good news is it should be a nice a peaceful kick-off weekend! It's a WHO DAT weekend! PreSeason Starts this Sunday, so if I am not his best friend then I get a nice and quite football Sunday.
Now Playing- "Why Can't We Be Friends"

Now Playing- "Why Can't We Be Friends"
So what is left to do?
I think I am on pretty much every social network- ie: Facebook, Twitter, Myspace (sucks?). The only thing left for me to do is to start blogging.
Can I get a "hooray"?
........ Yeah I didn't think so, Thanks anyways!
I keep posting things that William say and do on facebook, but they quickly get swept away like an old memory. So hopefully now I can be more organized and share with you more things that the human does that make me say, "Awwwww!" and "Awe, Shit!" in the same 5 minute span. Also, I know a lot of family have ignored my posts on facebook. I've toned down my language quite a bit, which I will do on this blog also... Occasionally I will cuss and If you choose not to read about what your family has been doing because your to good to look past "who I am" with my cursing, that just means you're a sorry person and I feel terrible for you! Enough with that... forever... hehe! ;)
I'll leave you with this picture of the human I took just a couple of minutes ago in his new NFL PJ's I got him... Everybody at once, "Awww!"
