Sorry I have missed some posting days recently mine and my husband's computers both died. They are not taking on charge so its time to start looking at and starting saving for new ones. Unfortunately that mean sfor now I am stuck posting from my phone and tablet. That being said... my family seems to be doing better with the loss of our newest member. It has been harder for some of us but my sister seems to be doing fine.

Around the Water Cooler.
Needless to say I have been neglecting you blog, and I am sorry but I have been working my butt off. I still love you though and thought I would do some posting this afternoon. I want to talk about several things but the one that is most on my mind at the moment is the Dad that used facebook to teach a lesson to his daughter. ( http://youtu.be/kl1ujzRidmU) I know it's blowing up the internet at the moment and I am not helping but I was reading the comments and was astonished by the amount of people who were so.....negitve. Many of them were insinuating that he was a bad drunk, and that he wasn't setting a good example for this daughter, so on and so forth.
I say 'Way to go!" In today's world parents are very restricted in their ability to disapline/punish their children. This does kinda go back to things we have talked about in the past. I have to say that in a world of computers, Iphones, and several different types of technology it can be hard to monitor what your children say, who they talk to, and what goes on in the wild blue yonder of the interwebs. I don't think that this was an overreaction because this girl had already gotten in trouble for something similar.

Breastfeeding- Back in the spotlight.
While I was waiting for the computer tonight to write my blog for Wednesday my little sister Candi called for us to hear this story on Yahoo about breastfeeding and wanting it to be on Sesame Street as a healthy, natural way for babies to be fed. (http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/sesame-street-teach-kids-breastfeeding-185000424.html) While most of the article was about thoughts and opinions on the subject my other sister Melissa requested that this be the spotlight of my Wednesday Blog. So this one is for you Mel.
Let me take you back to yester-year when I was a child. This issue had just really hit it's hay-day. I was probably in my early years 7-10 and I remember my parents and my friend's parents talking about it. People were out raged by such a menial thing that it was banned almost everywhere and seen as gross or disgusting. I think this is really interesting since in today's society it is ok to see women with pasties on their breasts. Somehow though we seem to think that mothers need to whisked away in a room secluded from everyone else. Breasts are FOR this purpose, "for babies not men" as Mel was saying. I don't think that putting a negitive conotation on this is good. I think that women should be free to breastfeed in public places but I also believe there is a way of doing it that does make it easier for others to handle.
