I think that the Higher Power sure knows what she was doing....

My precious 6 year old daughter has always been a good reader. She's always gone to the Library regularly and she loves looking at different kinds of books. I'm very thankful for that.

She's in 1st grade now and starting this summer she's picked out books that she can actually read on her own. Her vocabulary seems to have doubled and I'm just really impressed with how good she's reading on her own. Ok, right about the time she started reading on her own...

...she lost her two front teeth!

Someone up there who's with us everywhere sure knows what she's doing...lol!!

There's nothing that can make you fall in love with your child more than to hear that child reading all on her own with no front teeth...its the sweetest lisp-EVER!! It brings a tear to my eye. Evie is just so cute :)

hide and stick

It was a sticky web
I'd spin and strengthen

to cover and hide

With words a sticky web
I'd spin and tangle

to have a safe place
for mangled heart shreds
to muster a beat

A sticky word web
That was not just words

but a whole facade
so that others cant see past

My sticky web of sticky words.

I don't know how to walk through life

without being barefoot

on glass...in the dark.



I don't have any feelings

without doubt

in pain...with stupidity.



I don't see the point

believing there's good

in you...for me.

I don't know how to walk through life

taking the easy route

comforted by the arms of another...

I'm used to sorting through the ruins

I'd rather walk

alone than believe in you...

for me.
