Scattered Thoughts

Watching White Christmas always puts me in a good mood.  I love their dancing, dresses and singing.  So fun.  That is the way life should be.

Adam fell off the bed today.  So sad! He did not cushion his fall at all.  Head first.  Big purple goose egg.  Horrible noise, poor guy in pain and have to watch for seizures and concussion.  Poor little man.  He was sleeping and kept flipping over and over.  He usually wakes and puts his feet down, but this is the first time he went head first.  He stumbles and trips while walking all over the place, but today he made a circuit of the house without stopping or needing a break.  He's squatting and picking up objects and standing back up.  So exciting.  Leaps and bounds.

So sad also the shootings that took place in Connecticut. Shooting women and children is unnecessary. Why can these people not just kill themselves and spare the world their wrath and presence?  Guns are not the problem.  It's the people that possess them.  When will this world acknowledge that all of this violence and horror can be minimized or eliminated when the parents start doing their jobs.  Taking our children and teaching them wrong and right.  Proper gun use and improper use.  Locking up the weapons properly so they do not have access to them, etc.  Treating and properly diagnosing mental illness is another step along the way.  Parents need to agree to diagnosis, treatment and help from others.  Parents do not know everything and should look to the experts for help in teaching their children.

Parents do not take the time anymore to treat their children as some day adults and that they will be running and influencing the world in a short period of time.  The brats, bullies and horrible people of the world really can blame many factors as to their behavior.  Genetics, parental guidance (or lack there-of), societal influence, nutrition, experience as a child, trauma, school and teachers interacting to make the person grow up into the adult they will be at age 18, when they are a legal adult.  Nature vs nurture is not isolated and these gunman are getting the short end of the stick until they do that to others.  Usually there are warning signs and they are ignored or not followed up with by the parents first, then others.  Aspergers is usually an introverted disease with outbursts of some sorts.  Unusual and ridiculous all the same.  I feel for everyone one of those effected by this tragedy.  The shooter should not be glorified by the media like they have been too.  Let people grieve and the shooter buried without fan fare.  Horrible.

Will our house sell, will the money man grant us money to build or just buy?  I'm so excited by the thought I feel relieved.  So excited.
