Our Children

Just before I decided to write this post I received an e-mail from babycenter.com titled "Is your child gifted?" Now I did sign up for babycenter.com and a few other sites when I found out that I was pregnant to learn as much information as possible about babies, and trust me I'm not knocking these sites. I have found a lot of good information on them.

However, I am knocking us as a society of parents. Do we really need someone else to tell us if our children are gifted? What happened to our kids just being special the way they are? Do I think Bella is gifted? Absolutely, I bet you feel the same about your kids. Am I going to be crushed when Bella starts school if she ends up being "average"? Nope, because I biased. Babycenter.com knows my kid is 2 years old, an "Is your child gifted?" e-mail really doesn't benefit me in any way.

So I propose that all of us parents stop treating our children like they COULD be gifted and act like they ARE gifted and I bet we might end up with more ACTUAL gifted children, just a thought.

Ahhh.....My Life

Ever feel like it's vacation time? I'm ready for a 72 hours in a padded room, wearing a white jacket hugging myself, medicated induced sleep vacation. After all of the events that have happened in about the past 7 months, I'm worn out. But no time for that I must continue on.

I am happy to report that I am getting involved with church, well actually two churches. I have went from bar hopping to church hopping. Totally getting in on God's good side, I am so making it into heaven LOL! But I am very happy to report that Saturday, July 10, 2010 I will not be able to hang on on Twitter or Facebook all morning, nope. I will be at an organization called Shoes for Orphan Souls. I will be busy boxing up shoes to be shipped to orphans all around the world.

I am very happy that I am stepping outside of my box and becoming involved. After I first had Bella I sorta became lost in her a little. I had a grasp on myself because I worked so I had adult interaction, which was nice. After I quit my job last year my life has become completely consumed with Bella, toddlers, friends, and boyfriend. I have been going to church for quite awhile now and since I've really started leading a Christian life God has taken the vast majority of my friends and my boyfriend. I have one friend left, I feel like I am becoming less of McKenzie and more of just Bella's mom. So I have decided that I am going to recapture myself and become involved in the world around me, and here is the best part....YOU ARE ALL COMING WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!! BAWHAHAHAHAHAHA Sorry, had too LOL!

I hope you enjoy hearing about my adventures of becoming a person again and I know I said it last time but it won't be so long before you hear from me again.

KISSES
