Balloon Release!!! Pageant Update!! Random Junk!!!

We did do the balloon release last night. We did it in the back yard, stomach was hurting too bad and it was a bit too cold to go to the park. We took a few pictures and I will have to upload them when I use up all the space on the camera.

As always, Tink-Tink was fascinated with the balloons. I tied one to her wrist and she was thrilled with it. Jay was the first kid to make her laugh really hard with the balloon her aunt gave her while she was in the hospital (just born). He would wave it over her face and she would just laugh her little heart out. I had one for each of the kids and myself. I wanted to do one balloon for each month Little Kayleigh was alive, but I couldn't find that many pink balloons.

I found out that the lady I sponsored (her ad page) did not win the pageant. She was beautiful and would have made a great rep based on her platform. I really do hope she competes again. That platform is something I know about first hand.

On another note, a little 3 year old boy was shot and killed on the West Side of Chicago the other day. Seems that no adult knows what happened and there were two other kids in the house. The gun may have been accidentally shot off and hit the little boy in the chest. The aunt of the boy says "We weren't in the house, we don't know what happened!". Seems like someone may be in trouble shortly. There is also some conflict as to the time it took the ambulance to get there. The initial call was only for "Shots Fired" and some minutes later, they apparently called again to say the little boy had been shot. Okay....no ambulance is going to go anywhere off a simple "Shots Fired" call. The police barely even respond to that!!! The boys family are upset the ambulance did not come with the first call!!! Well....they wouldn't with a "Shots Fired" call, but they would with a "A child's been shot!". I don't know.

I am for having weapons in the house to protect yourself and your family. However, if there are children in the house. Those weapons need to be locked up and put away. I don't have weapons in my house because this god for saken place only has one closet and that's in my bedroom and my bed is so big that it does not allow the closet to close, therefore, making it easy access for the kids to get to it. Also, imagine me with a gun??? Not nice. So I choose not to have one at this moment.

The police got their dog back. Some regular joe saw the dog and waved down a squad car and it was in fact the dog. I wonder did they give the guy the reward money they were offering.

There was a body found in a car on my old stumping grounds....71st & Bell!! I have not been over there in almost 7 years. Since I went to my cousins grad party. It looks like it was by my old friends Jamie & Will's house. That was the block. I had some fun times in that area. That takes me back to the early 90's!!!!

Well...need to go. I hear Tink-Tink making her early morning babbling. That means she is up....ready to be changed, get her bath, eat and play!!!

Take Care & Be Blessed
