I WILL TAKE YOUR BABY (Even at 3 a.m. I will take your baby so this doesn't have to be a choice)
(And I won't say your name) I watch the news, and recently seen the neglect of a 4 month old. The baby passed away from lack of nutrition, and dehydration. They also found maggots in her diaper.... another baby rescued from a plastic Walmart bag....among many other babies dying...ONE infant death due to neglect is one too many!!! 😢
To anyone who has a baby or is pregnant with one that they do not want... my door is always open! Before you decide the only option is to toss your baby in the trash, DO NOT do it! Bring that baby to my door. I promise you, no questions asked and no judgement passed. I will give you my address and my family will welcome your baby with open arms. ❤️❤
Also hospitals, police stations and fire houses are other options. Leave the baby in the proper hands and walk away. No charges will be filed. Look up Safe Haven laws. Strength is asking for help. Strength is putting another before yourself. There is help.

Trying to explain in an essay what form of media has helped me get through coping with my CKD. 🤔 I'm not a great writer. Hope the essay comes out ok.

Haven't really updated about my medical recently. It's been like 2 weeks since I had my last visit with Nephrology. Bloodwork is all pretty much stable. However, I've progressed with my CKD. My GFR numbers are lower at 50.6. I'm now at stage 3A. That means that my kidneys are 50% working and 50% not working. Trying to grasp that it only took 3 1/2 years to go from stage 2 to stage 3A. But the doctor said you can't predict the future. I may stay here and only go down a few points as I age, which is normal. I'm still not on any medication due to us still trying to conceive through in-home insemination. I was recommended to join a support group, so I joined. However, I don't see how that would help. Support groups really aren't my thing. I don't really feel different. I always say, if I never was told this news I would be fine. Why did I have to go to the P*P with back pains? They did a urine test and it seems like it's been downhill since then. Welp, that's all for now.

Instead of saying, "I know what it feels like", let's say "I cannot imagine your heartbreak".

Instead of saying, "You're strong, you'll get through this, let's say " You'll hurt, and I'll be here.

Instead of saying, "You look like you're doing well, Let's say, "How are you holding up today?"

Instead of saying, "Healing takes time", let's say "Healing has no timeline".

Instead of saying, "Everything happens for a reason, let's say "This must feel so terribly senseless right now".

And when there are no words to say at all, you don't need to try and find some. Love speaks in silences too.

About 2 weeks ago I started having issues with my eyes. They were burning severely, super dry and felt very irritated like something was in my eyes continually. There was also discharge seeping from both eyes. Every other blink I couldn't see. Most likely due to the Lupus/Sjogens. So, I made an emergency eye doctor appointment. The doctor told me that each time I blinked my eyes, the moisture or film that protected my eyes especially the left one would dry right up. So my eyes were basically suffocating. I had been using Systane from over the counter, but it wasn't helpful at all. The doctor gave me a steroid to take for 7-10 days. Hoping the daily drops, Restasis, would be ready ASAP. Drops still not ready before my follow up so I had to call the our pharmacy plan to see what the problem was in approving the medication. They said I had to have the doctor fax the clinical notes to give them proof of necessity. Today I get the approval letter for the drops. I call the pharmacy and they tell me the price for a 30 day supply. Blowing my mind with the price, I tell the pharmacy to get it ready for today and I'll pick it up. I picked up a savings card at the doctors office and I could use that as well. I take it to the pharmacy and my mind is stilll blown. The price is still outrageous. Here you go, Big Pharma and price gouging. So either my eyes suffocate or I find the money to pay monthly for necessary eye drops. I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.

"Can I let you in on a secret about friendships in adulthood?

Sometimes they are really freaking hard.
Like, really freaking hard.

But so often the friends we have in our adult years are the only thing saving us from hitting rock bottom.

The truth is that even the strongest friendship bonds are not forged in stone. No, just as life is ever changing, friendships will always ebb and flow.

Sometimes your closest friends fade away into the background of your life.
Sometimes background friends somehow become part of your inner circle.

Sometimes brand new people enter your life and become the friends you never knew you needed.
Sometimes your heart aches because it misses the friendships that used to be but are no more.

No matter where you are in your adult friendship journey, don't overthink it and don't dwell in the past.

Instead, hold on tight and ride the friendship wave.

Welcome the ones that find their way to you.
Send peace to the ones who fade away.
Love the friends that are there right now."

Let's play a word association game. I will start with a word and you then respond with the first word that comes to mind. Then so on and so forth ..

Why? I guess some people don't have common sense. 45 minutes at 125° My mind is blown. 😡🤯

Indiana couple left kids in 125-degree heat for over 40 minutes while shopping at Walmart: police Watson Joseph and Mirianne Pierre of Indiana were both charged with neglect of a dependent after leaving their children in a locked car in 90-degree weather for 45 minutes on Monday.

In the beginning and end of the school year be mindful of those who yearn for these moments. For those people, I am always thinking about you. We can get thru this together.

This is my end of the school year picture. This is Kayden who should be 11 years old. This is Blu who should be 5 years old. 💔😭

May 24th...It is the worst day of the year! And to see this on the news only makes it hurt even more knowing that someone intentionally killed babies.

British neonatal nurse convicted of killing 7 babies loses her bid to appeal Lucy Letby had asked for permission to challenge the verdict after she was convicted and sentenced to life in prison last year.

Just a heads up. The month of May is a bad month for me. Month of my miscarriage and D&C. Keep me in your thoughts.💔

How gentle are you with your body? What kind of product do you use? Do you cook? Are there warning sings around you should watch out for? These questions you have to ask when you want to take care of yourself better.

Ever since I was pregnant I have changed the way I take care of myself. I use shampoo and conditioner that don't have Lauryl Sulfate or Laureth Sulfate. That has cut my options down quite a bit. But I rather be safe then sorry. They both have been linked to birth defects and miscarriages. Those ingredients are also in lotion and deodorant. I also use all natural, no aluminum and vegan deodorant. Maybe in the future I can make my own deodorant. No I don't wear any makeup or don't use any perfume either. But I'm sure they are in other products too.

I've seen stickers all around that have the P65 warning that basically says it may cause reproductive damage and cancer. Like on many gardening tools and machines which I stated in a previous post I've also seen those stickers on some household items like our oven. That sucks. It's like everything out in the hardware store I can't touch. Sad face.

Everything has Laurel Sulphate or things that are bad for your body and effect it negatively. It gets so frustrating trying to find all natural products when everything has all these chemicals in them.☹️ Why?

The companies want to harm you by adding all these chemicals and the consumer doesn't even know! That's just wrong! Do your homework and check all ingredients when purchasing all products. It's in majority of health and beauty products and gardening products. Even things in your kitchen like the stove which has the P65 warning. The product uses harmful chemicals that can cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.

I have to be extra careful when I take care of myself. And people think I'm am worrying more but in reality I am making myself a better me. Taking pride what touches my body and my insides. Educating myself. I may not know every little thing but it helps to be aware.

Read the details closely and look at time given in jail. Why? That New Jersey trial was rigged. I stand up for the unknown baby which later was named. The excuses given are ridiculous. How do you feel about this case?
