why are ppl so hard?

i was listening to an audiobook today of refugees in Guatemala. The main character decided her little sister needed something to do so she made her a ball of scraps of material that she found lying around the camp. But this ball kept fraying. So she asked one the aid workers one day if she could get her a ball...the lady looked at her and said, "this is a refugee camp, NOT a play ground."

Wow that lady was hard! couldn't she SEE the children listlessly living here in the camp? Where was her motherly instincts?

She did get her a ball eventually and this brought the children alive and energetic again...

while i listen i paint...here are the projects from the last 2 days.....i'm actually needing help to decide what i need on that one w/ the golden rule on it. there is this big empty space that looks like it need to be filled...and then i look at it again and decide maybe it doesn't need filled...what do YOU think?

ponderings...

Some times i wonder....why do i even blog? do ppl even read it? but then i wonder am i selfishly wanting ppl to notice? do they have to comment? I rarely comment on other's posts...so why should they comment on mine? I do try to comment all the time! but for some reason since my computer is so slow....the internet anyway...it tells me i'm not allowed to....so even if you don't see a comment from me know that i wanted to! and maybe that's everybody elses problem! the same one i have! their internet's being snotty! ha! ;) I love to read all the blogs i do read and wish like crazy that i could comment! so here a some comments i've thought about recently.... Amy...I loved your Christmas blog! and i know ya'll might get tired of me saying this...but it almost brought tears to my eyes...thinking as how we miss out on that kinda stuff here in South Carolina.....since everybody else...or a bunch of everybody else is way out there! But thanks for the pictures and all...

i Think it's time...

To go on a trip! I was thinking that i needed to get out my suitcase to pack to go on the camping trip and all of a sudden realized how odd it felt to be getting it out....and thinking back to camping trips before how it didn't feel so odd to get packed up....well, i suppose that means i've been working too much and not going places anymore! ha ha! This summer i may get a few excursions in here and there...but not sure yet if i will or not.....i am going to LA for 10 days, but there are a few other places to go too..... i mean i need to put my suitcases to use right?! :-) it's definitely time! ha ha! in other news...this weekend is the end of school....graduation....etc!
