I really hate this shit.  People who abuse their children.  Over the past couple of days, in my daily news readings I have come across several disturbing stories…in just 3 days.  It is alarming and makes me so angry I barely have words.  I am warning you now that these stories are disturbing and downright heartbreaking. 

I am a mother, and I love my son with everything that I am.  And I can not wrap my brain around the idea that someone could look into the sweet face of their own flesh and blood and beat them, in many cases, to death.  I realize that everyone, no matter how evil they are, is entitled to a defense, innocent until proven guilty, but damn, when these defense attorneys open their mouth, I just want to puke.  “Well she just snapped, it was anger out of control”  WHAT!  That’s your fucking defense?  I see so she wasn’t trying to KILL her, she just wanted to beat her up a bit.  This also pisses me off, “I just snapped” So basically what you are saying is that a 2 year old made you sooo angry that your only option was to beat the life out of her? 

Here’s the thing, when you become a parent your sole purpose in life becomes the care, and love of that child.  There are no excuses.  The actions of these so-called parents is indefensible and if there is any justice at all they will meet a horrific fate.

So originally my intention was to blog about Bush’s farewell speech, or about the inauguration.  But instead I bring you the dynamic story of me vs. the cellar stairs.  The stairs won by the way.  So that leaves me sitting here, ice on my poor injured ankle, for 4 days.  And I get to wear this oh so fashionable Robocop inspired boot…soo cool.
