I didn't know where to respond to each individual blog you posted. Blogging is a forgein entity to me. I need purchase "Bloggers for Dummies". Now, say the word "IM" and I am with you there. Maybe, I have a little understanding because I house a teenager. Speaking, writing, and texting "IM" is a must. <BR/> <BR/>However, your blog about Dina, from Mexico, is so inspiring. I believe I would kill myself if I had to "Wife Swap" with her for only one day. That could not be my life. God bless Dina and her crew. You know God only gives us as much as we can handle. YOU AND I CAN ONLY HANDLE 2 KIDS. Amen. Amen. <BR/> <BR/>BTW(By the way), I absolutey admire you "POETIC TALENT". I hate you for being so cool. I love the poem and you. Make sure to post more poems as you invent them. I think it is absolutely amazing that you have a "Hustle and Flow" and rhyme to you poem. Get it. Get it, girl. <BR/> <BR/> <BR/>Just remember to just keep "DOING THE DAMN THING".</B>Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011990752073017542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884255801358360477.post-43795926383978864272008-10-12T10:10:00.000-04:002008-10-12T10:10:00.000-04:00Tiney, You and Dina are like twins. lolSo why no b...Tiney, You and Dina are like twins. lol<BR/>So why no bloggin' girl?

She has got to be one of them!<BR/><BR/>I loved the words "between hee hee hoos she's baking a cake," lol. <BR/><BR/>Having kids at home...scary! But my friend who made the journal for me in my Pink Post had her last one at home. I got to go over and see him that very same day! I would have been too scared. <BR/><BR/>Immunizations: I have had my kids innoculated, but not without a great deal of nervousness as there was a family from my church affected by immunizations in the worst way. Their daughter was normal up until 5 months, then after an innoculation she got sick and became virtually vegetative. She lived until age 5, which is considerably longer than doctor's ever expected. They attribute her longetivity to the very loving care of her mother. It was heartbreaking to see.<BR/><BR/>KadyLife on the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900293336540009564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884255801358360477.post-15678037389705716062008-10-11T12:10:00.000-04:002008-10-11T12:10:00.000-04:00What an amazing woman!
