The short version? I read you on my phone and constantly think about how much I love you, admire you as a person, a mother, and mostly as A WRITER.

I was crazed with the thought of someone taking them. Or perhaps just taking one, as if I had been blessed with one too many (Raising Arizona). <br /><br />I went insane for the first few months in a paranoid state of mind, sleeping on the floor near their cribs. All I can say is - girlfriend, never stop questioning those cars or friendly looking people walking up your street because these sick bastards are really good at what they do.<br /><br />You did the right thing. You were wise to question those cars. I loved Jack's response to your text. I love it when my kids think I've gone to far. It means we are on the right track.<br /><br />Listen to the sounds from your heart and to your own words - the universe is abundant - and ALWAYS trust your instincts.Zen Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150722039049104796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909148405345235236.post-49652874205671069392011-01-05T16:58:18.684-05:002011-01-05T16:58:18.684-05:00I can't handle that kind of thing either.

The movie, in this rare case, was nearly as good as the book.<br /><br />You are absolutely right to watch over the kids closely. If I had kids, I certainly would. Sadly, the world is not like it was when we were kids.<br /><br />You have been in my thoughts. I love you.<br /><br />Happy New Year!<br /><br />SBSarcastic Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116577711704241625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909148405345235236.post-84552413307224975092011-01-05T05:59:29.424-05:002011-01-05T05:59:29.424-05:00I remember liking that book.

Weird. But I'm not manic. I think it was just Christmas. It was fine this year but Logan was absent and that really worked me over more than I'd like to admit.<br /><br />I'm reading again. I stopped for a long time but I've been trying to ease back into it and television, if you can believe it. I read Lovely Bones a few years ago. I couldn't put it down.

I've read every true crime/serial killer book on the library shelves, but that was before kids. Now, I can have a panic attack wondering if random psycho is going to try to get one of my babies.<br />I keep wondering if they should take self defense classes, carry pepper spray, that kind of thing. Not yet, but maybe before they go off to college. What did I do before I turned worrying into a vocation?<br />My babies don't sleep much anymore and I can't stay awake like I used to. Some nights, I just want them to go to bed, please, so I hear you.<br />I'm glad you put the gorgeous photo back up, it's my favorite. I'm glad you have some quiet time to gather your thoughts and share them.<br />Hugs.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909148405345235236.post-57384614419878865582011-01-04T09:08:53.994-05:002011-01-04T09:08:53.994-05:00I think most predators live within the house or at...I think most predators live within the house or at least are related one way or another.
