I Just Don't Understand People

I just don't understand people. 
 
I read this article today:
 
 
Then I had one of those OMG-hand-to-the-gaping-mouth moments.


 
How can anyone do something like this to a child?
 
Whenever I hear by baby girl cry, my heart aches.
 
All I want to do is ease her pain.
 
Fix whatever it is that's wrong.
 
That's what you're supposed to do.
 
You're not supposed to hurt your child.
 
We all get frustrated with our children.
 
Not enough to hurt them.
 
And now that poor little girl will have a reminder for the rest of her life...
 
A reminder of how her Daddy...
 
The man who is supposed to protect and love her...
 
Almost killed her.
 
These kinds of actions make me so angry.
 
They also make me want to rush home and squeeze my little girl tightly.
 
I just don't understand people.

    Saying the world has gone crazy seems a bit of an understatement nowadays, like the word just doesn't cut it anymore when things like this happen. I don't have kids yet but I wonder what world I will be leaving behind for them and it saddens me a lot : /

      You're exactly right! It really makes me think about what kind of world my little girl is growing up in!

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...
