Blogging

Yes, I wish I was more up to date. Problem is I can only do this when hubby is asleep..... Yeah, my sister and I sooo need to talk... lol

So, new and interesting....
Nothing new... but I have been meaning to blog about the world.
We have been following the story of Sandra Cantu. I feel absolutely horrible for her. My son has been following her story and makes us pause every time it comes on the news. To catch up, she is an adorable 8 year old little girl who vanished in Tracy. Just this week her body turned up in some kind of suitcase in a ditch somewhere. My 10 year old saw the story from the beginning when she first disappeared. Every time the news came on we had to stop and listen to the story of her disappearance. Now, I try not to be pessimistic and I was absolutely hoping for the best, but when the news revealed that her body was discovered I was not shocked. What does disturb me is that there are people out there who can do horrific things to innocent children. She is an absolutely adorable 8 year old child and someone killed her. That bothers me. Those kinds of things make me cry. Not only for her and her family, but also to have to explain the mean people who exist in the world to my innocent 10 year old. I cry when I think about her innocence being taken away and for the pain her family is going through. No, I don't live near Tracy, but as a mother, what her parents must be going through is just horrific. How can someone do such a horrific thing to such an innocent girl??? It boggles the mind. Beyond that, from what we've heard from the news is many children from the area are traumatized. Go figure??? My 10 year old has been following the story with great interest and I am at a loss as to what to tell him. Trusting in people will get you nowhere apparently. Don't go outside alone ever. My 3 year old has learned how to open the front door by herself, and boy am I freaked out. Her short leash just got shorter.
