Don't Tell Me...
Don't tell me that you understand, don't tell me that you know,
Don't tell me that I will survive, how I will surely grow.
Don't tell me this is just a test, that I am truly blessed,
That I am chosen for this task, apart from all the rest.
Don't come at me with answers that can only come from me,
Don't tell me how my grief will pass, that I will soon be free.
Don't stand in pious judgment of the bonds I must untie,
Don't tell me how to suffer, don't tell me how to cry.
My life is filled with selfishness, my pain is all I see,
But I need you, I need your love, unconditionally.
Accept me in my ups and downs, I need someone to share,
Just hold my hand and let me cry, and say,
"My friend, I really do care."

My fishies
Hayden and Nana
Ready to head to McDonalds for Happy Meals. Lots of fun was had by everyone.
On Wednesday Mom, the kids, and I went to Olney's water park. Don't know how many of you have been there, but it's very nice. My only complaint, no concession stand. The kids loved the water slide...Emily mastered the diving board solo. I think we may need to invest in a pool of our own in a few years.

I did it...I really did it
Today, after getting the news I have another nephew...Jackson Robert Baltzell, 4lbs 11oz and 2 months early, I took all ALL of Emily's clothes to Anita Thompsons re-sale shop on the square. If you know me, you know I have had drama with what to do with her outfits. First I thought about E-bay, but it took too much time. Then I tried a garage sale, and even though I made some mad cash, I didn't sell nearly enough to make a dent in the amount. Next, I hauled all the clothes to Once Upon a Child...not a good experience to say the least and I believe I blogged about it.
After all this, the clothes have been sitting in my basement.
Today was the day, I was not turning back. I went in with 5 totes, 2 garbage bags, and a laundry basket full of clothes. I dropped them off and I didn't look back. I hope they go to good homes and are taken care of. I feel personel connections to her Sarah Louise hand smocked dresses and Indigo painted outfits. All her Ralph Lauren, Tommy, Gap, Le Top, Mimi and Maggie...I will let go, just not today.
