Irony - Someones Death Brings My Family Joy

How strange things can change in one week.
That little guy is now part of our family. He is 14 months old.
It is awkward to say someones death brought my family joy, but it is true.
Almost a week ago, his biological mother took her own life.
How could you leave someone so precious behind?
Because that is how you were raised.
Kill yourself to avoid the unpleasantness of life.
It is a vicious cycle.
His mother was my 3rd or 4th cousin. I don't talk to her side of the family because my mothers biological side of the family has never been a part of my life.
My Papa adopted my mom at a very young age and he is my true Papa.
My biological grandfather was an evil man. He burned all of his identity, called his own daughter (my moms sister) and told her that he was going to kill himself and he wanted her to have to identify his body, then he shot himself in the head while he was on the phone with her.
That obviously messed her up for life because about 15 years later she decided life wasn't worth living and purposely set her house on fire and killed herself.
Now, 10 years later, her daughter decided life wasn't worth living. She texts her father and told her the baby was sleeping and she was going to be with her mom in heaven.
This was her last post:

"DEAR FAMILY AN FRIENDS MY LIFE ISNT GOING ANYWHERE AN I CANT FIX IT I LOVE YALL BUT I WANT MY MOMMA."

After she sent that facebook post she hung herself from her front porch.
I feel bad that she was lost soul but, I do not feel bad that my sister will now raise her baby.
Her selfishness for her own child's life has now bled over into a joyous reunion for my family.
This child was neglected by his own mother. Left in a crib while he cried at night with two bottles so he could fend for himself.
Their sewer had backed up into their water system and the baby drank his milk mixed with that water and had his clothes washed with that water. ALL of his clothes reeked of mold and sewer. This baby had 3 toys. 3.... THAT IS IT.
You should have seen the look on his face when my sister let him meet everyone yesterday. He was so excited to see other kids to play  and you could see he was in ultimate explorer move. He will probably not remember the day he came to our family, but it was as glorious as the day my sister birthed their own children.
You could  see a baby be reborn into something instead of nothing. Now, if we can get passed all of the paperwork, we are home free. I hope.

BLAH!! FREAKING MONDAY!!

I worked muscles in my body I didn't know I had yesterday. We had to dig up our pool lines to make sure we knew where they were so we could get a ditch witch in and put in some french drains. Ugh.... THAT my friend was not fun. We were shoveling dirt till dark in the cold. We successfully found the lines and did not bust any pipes in the process, so that's a plus.

We went and ate with some friends Saturday night. After we got home, we were flipping through the channels and  watched Boogie Nights. WOW!! How have I never seen that movie before??

Mark Wahlberg plops out his dick and it's completely obvious it's a 13" rubber fake. Quite entertaining.

Itunes has a special $6.99 for some albums. I just downloaded the Coldplay album. I would have just bought the Paradise song, but for $5 more, I'll take all 14 songs.

All my husband wants for Vday is chocolate covered strawberries. I wet to the bakery to buy some and they were out. I'll just make them myself. Melt chocolate and dip. Can't be too hard.

He keeps asking me what I want but I have no idea. We usually just get each other a card and write 10 things we love about each other. Sounds sappy, but hell it's cheap so shut it.

I could not watch the news this morning  for more than 5 minutes at a time with out them mentioning or celebrating the life of Whitney Houston. The horse is dead, quit beating it.

This will go on for a couple weeks, die down, and then will flair back up when the autopsy results come in.

 While I'm on the subject, why the hell do people rush to itunes to download music that has been there all along and will stay there. Just cause the person dies people all the sudden want to listen to the music?? I don't get it.

I bet strawberries have doubled in price since last week when I bough them, all because of Vday.

I need some new running shoes. Has anybody bought any Reebok Zigs?

Paradise

Glad that is over.

Finally found out what killed one of my best friends last October.
Does the autopsy results give anybody closure? No.
I thought that it would, but it doesn't really make me feel any different about the situation.
Landscaping is going to be a bitch.
We got two estimates for sprinkler systems for the front and back yard. $5,500.00.
We are going to attempt do it ourselves.
Hopefully the costs of supplies will be less than $2,500.00.
Work. Work. Work.
I tried Google+. I wasn't impressed.
We just found out one of our neighbors has colon cancer I think he might be 40. It is pretty bad. No insurance. He can't work, the wife has no job.
She is trying to apply for food stamps.
They have three kids.
Sad situation, but I think we can all band together to keep their bellies full, or at least try.
I'm going to check out a tanning bed today. It's a 1997 bed, but the seller says it's in good condition and works well. She wants $500 for it. I'm skeptical, but I'm going in half's with my sister so I would be making a $250.00 mistake if all else fails. I'm going to go look at it first.
I'm turning 30 in a few weeks and we are selling our stripper pole/stage.
The pole was fun while it lasted. In all the time we had it we only had one incident in which someone went to the ER.
Drunk + Pole + 2 1/2 ft. drop = Broken collar bone.
No it was not me.
Both of my nephews can text me and facetime me from their own Itouch, and I love it.
I'm off and out.
peace.
