I am having a baby boy in late Feb early March. I have gone through all my girls things and have sorted out the things that are unisex... I have a huge container full of girly clothes to trade at a resale shop. Suggestions????

Anyone interested can donate through any Wells Fargo Branch to the Dylan Russell Memorial Fine Arts Scholarship.

I returned from the funeral last night to Seattle where I have to take a PALS course. I am so distracted.... Please send me some vibes so that I can get what I need to get done over the next couple days.

Friendswood boy held after dispute ends in teen's death
By RUTH RENDON

FRIENDSWOOD — A 16-year-old Friendswood boy was being held today in
connection with a dispute that led to the death of another teen.

The youth is suspected of ramming his truck into the rear of a
Mercedes-Benz on Wednesday night, causing it to lurch forward and
strike James Dylan Russell as he stood in front of the car.

Russell, also 16, died this morning at Memorial Hermann Hospital.

The incident occurred after a confrontation in the 4200 block of Lucian

My nephew Dylan just turned 16 on May 13. It was really cool- he was May 13, Chris is Oct 13, Zoe- April 13 and Ruby August 13.... his little brother could've been a Feb 13 but mom (Chris's big sister) couldn't resist scheduling his c-section on valentines day.... all of our loves Lucky 13..... I used to babysit Dyl when I was 19 and he was four- I attempted swimming lessons in the pool at our complex...I made him a "batman cape" out of an old sleevless tube dress that I cut down the middle and he LOVED it... we always had fun and I remember really enjoying his company.

So I posted earlier about some personal shit and I took a comment personally and I felt to exposed and I had to take it down. I recognize that that is my stuff.

10 years ago I made mistakes. I was a victim and things transpired.

When you fight back in a domestic violence situation with a man way bigger than you should you go to jail?

What if you had emotional issues that were not stablized? A decade is a long time, issues can certainly be addressed...

The Maternity Home that I am a volunteer community health nurse for needs doulas to attend these women's births. They can not compensate because these are women in transition from homelessness that are facing new sobriety and other issues but I think that perhaps they have a non-profit ID so maybe a tax write off could happen? PLEASE HELP! If you have any ideas for what we can do otherwise it will be a new mom alone with the medical team.

I never thought that I would work with children. Too hard... too sad. But I love working with vulnerable populations and am open to where my career takes me and my mentor is opening new possibilities to me and here I find myself looking to start a job at the Center for Medically Fragile Children. Sould this be my placement I will be working with disabled chldren in a skilled nursing facility with a nursing team model (a couple nurses, several CNA's and a med-aid) and I am really excited about it!

And with all the speeches I heard this weekend I wanted to read it again....

The Famous "Wear Sunscreen" Commencement Address
Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97:

Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
