True devastation

Well, it was Halle's (my niece) birthday party this past saturday and I learned what true loss was while we were there. Andrea (my sister) put up a bunch of helium balloons up for the party and they along with some shiny necklaces were the hit of the party. Kenzie really was having a good time with the balloons and decided to take hers out on the balcony porch. I have tried to explain to her before that with balloons you have to be careful because they can fly away but how do you really explain something like that to a 3 year old who has never experienced anything like that? So of course she let it go and the devastation that followed was something I have never seen anything like before! At first I thought she was injured because the last time she cried that horribly was when she sliced her finger open on a lid of a can of olives! So she showed me her balloon flying away into the sky and I couldn't help but laugh. I know it wasn't really funny but you know when kids look at you and ask you to do something no matter how crazy it is because they believe you can save them or help them no matter what the circumstances are? There was no way to help her understand that even though she could see it floating away there was nothing I could do. But man you should have seen the look on her face! The equivalent look would be if I was given a brand new charger and then somebody stole it and left it on the train tracks while I watched it get run over, smashed, explode and burn into a giant pile of charcoal. It was that horrible. It was so horrible that she insisted we leave. She had to go home NOW. She needed to pee and she would not use my sister's bathroom. I had to physically carry her to the toilet and she cried as I held her on the toilet. Poor girl. She eventually got over it. (especially after she got another balloon) Even though it was a sad thing for her, it makes me laugh. I don't know why. Maybe it is because it is just a balloon, but to her it was a brand new charger.

Weird

Just now I got a call from Isaac telling me about something strange that happened to him on the way to school. So he was driving and he saw that someone had broken down in the middle of the intersection and so he stopped and helped push them out. When he came around to the driver he saw that it was a man and he recognized him as our previous land lord. The strange part is that he was dressed in a mini skirt, a tube top and bright red lipstick.....
Weird!!!

TV shows

I have to slam the Tv show that I just spent the last hour and a half getting into. It is called 'More to love'. Basically it is the bachelor only it is people that are overweight. I have to say that I really struggle with the bachelor as well. I watched an episode in the middle of the season and then I skipped to the endings to see which girls went home and which girl he asks to marry him. So now that you have to background, let me say this, I hated this show!! In what reality would be acctually be put through this process to be with somebody. Granted dating is similar but at least there comes a point where if you start making out with somebody usually that means that you're exclusively dating someone. This guy has 10-15 girls fawning over him and he wins in the end. He goes out with the girls he prefers, tests how "attracted" he is to them by kissing them and receiving their affection and then conveniently sends home the jealous girl who is tired of sharing with a bunch of other girls, GO FIGURE! Anyway, maybe I'm mad that I acctually spent that much time watching the show instead of doing my homework. I guess it just played on my emotions too much. Are there really so few mr rights that so many women would subject themsleves to this circus? Could the winner sincerely believe that he cared about here when he explored a reltionship (ending in marriage) with so many other girls? If Isaac, while we were dating, wanted to date 15 girls at once (really romantic dates too!) just to make sure that at the end we really were meant for each other I would have told him to take a hike!!! If he didn't like me he sure as heck know before too long! Ok I'm done. I didn't like it.
