Who's Coming To Our Aid?

Rising Flood Water In Whitmore Lake Making Bad Problems Even Worse: MyFoxDETROIT.com

 These photos just touch on the disaster that some of the people from Alabama, Missouri and Oklahoma have been faced with. Homes, personal belongings, and peoples lives have been lost. There are still missing people that haven't been located yet. These photos look like a disaster to me. Who's coming to our aid? Who's coming to help us clean up the mess, help our new homeless people and families from the disasters and look for our the missing people? They snub their nose and they might at well say "Don't worry about the Americans, they can help themselves."

When we are hit with some serious devastations, like the tornadoes that recently hit in Alabama, Missouri and Oklahoma, or even the recent flooding right here in Michigan. Hundreds of people in Michigan are trapped in the homes and their basements are flooded. Nothing compared to the tornadoes, but still serious. It makes me think "who is coming to our aid?" We are the first ones to run to the aid of other countries in disaster and our government sends aid, but no one comes to our aid.  We send donations and send volunteers to their aid. I feel badly when disaster happens somewhere else, but my problem is, we are a country in financial trouble and it takes from the aid we have available when we have a disaster. Maybe it's time for our Government to start worrying a little more about taking care of our own first before running to the aid of other countries.

MIA

Wow, what a week already. I have been MIA this week, because I got sick with bronchitis and strep throat. Now that I'm some what better, at least enough to get on the computer, my computer crashed. My lovely 10 year old daughter clicked on a pop up box to win a free Ipod and was filling it out yesterday. God help me, because now I have been sitting here since 6:30 trying to fix this damn thing. Excuse the language, but I have lost all patience. I lost all my files. Including work files and photos. I can't even get on the internet. So, I am blogging from my phone while I am waiting on my computer to restore. I guess my next step will be to restore my computer back to the factory condition if this doesn't work.
My children drive me insane with this computer. I moved the computer to where we sit. All it takes is for you to leave the room long enough to go to the bathroom and they will some how manage to mess it up. No matter how many times you tell them not to click on the pop ups, they still do it!

High Five Friday No Rules Blog Hop

Hey, we made it to Friday. Give yourself a high five. Blogging is a lot of work. We spend hours daily working on our blogs and trying to see where our next idea will come from next, then writing and editing.  So, we all could use an easy no rules blog hop on Friday. There are just three simple rules.

Little Girls Grow Too Fast

It is amazing how fast little girls grow. It is time for the Jr. Miss Melvindale Pageant and I had planned on letting my daughter wear the same dress this year. I had planned on changing it a little bit by adding a different color sash and adding a a satin bolero short sleeved jacket to give the dress a different look. All the plans I had made went straight out the window after trying on the dress yesterday, it was way too small. In fact, it's not even possible to have the dress tailored. I was so disappointed, because I found this pretty apple color beaded sash that would have looked so pretty with the dress and after what I had paid for the dress, I was hoping she would at least get to wear it more than once. But, no such luck. I hadn't even realized she had grown that much in less than a year. The pageant is only three weeks away and I will be starting completely over, an extra expense I am not looking forward to. But, she has been really looking forward to the pageant and I can't dissappoint her.
