I had a dream last night where there was a woman at a department store walking with about 7-8 kids, if I recall correctly. I remember thinking to myself in the dream, "Wow! That's too many."

Then I saw a sign hanging from the ceiling of the store that read something along the lines of "If you think an amount of children is too many, then you have obviously never looked through a mom's eyes."

I think that was one of the profoundest things I have ever seen or read in a dream. :)

Thank you for seeing and being willing to say that.

I have grown up (as one of the younger children of) a huge family -- much larger than what is typically considered "large." People seem to have reactions of one of two extremes -- either, your mother must be a saint (which I happen to agree with) OR "that's too many". I cannot imagine a more loving and accepting group of people, and could not do without any one of them. Of course I am partial, but I think that the world is a better place for our family. We're pretty "normal" except for size.

While I would never think that anyone "ought" to have that many (or any,) it has been really uncomfortable to me at times when people that I meet find out -- to have people say things like "that's too many" or even "there is no excuse/need for ever having so many -- or don't they know what causes it." What many people do not seem to realize is when they take such an adamant position across the board is that, according to their philosophy and chosen position of how it should be, I should not exist -- based upon sheer numbers, I personally would be part of the "too many."

Even though I know they probably do not intend it that way, it is hard not to take it personally when someone says that a size of family that was necessary for you to be here (as you) should never happen.

Do I dare ask what is wrong with her?
Well......when she was 16, she was in a relationship with an ADULT who was 27, and is now getting married to him(He's 29 now). To get Nick Jonas back, she took almost nude pictures of herself and posted them online. She smoked pot on camera....there's more, but I don't wanna get into detail.

When I was 17 I dated a 26y/o. And if they're getting married now it seems like it's been a pretty serious relationship at least. And almost nude is not the same thing as completely nude. I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with her. I mean, there's much worse she could be doing. She's not strung out on meth, she's not bed hopping everywhere, she's not living in a liquor bottle, she's not spouting vile obscenities everywhere. It's not like she's Nick Nolte or something. :p

All of a sudden, it's gone dark, rainy, and windy. I see lightning.
Awesome!

Oh man, I'm jealous! :D

As am I, especially considering the temps we're going to have today. We're already at 90 with a heat index of 100 and it's only going to climb. Supposed to get to about 96-98 and I have no idea what the heat index is going to reach. I'd love a storm about now. Though it will make it quite humid afterwards...but the rain would feel so dang good.

It is so hot today, and very dry. Many counties have banned the use of fireworks, and it's looking like many 4th of July displays are going to be cancelled, unless we get a ton of a rain soon.

Got awakened just a bit ago by sharp aching and stinging in and around the elbow area. This thing is making me insomniac. :eek:

(But thankfully, it can't drive me insane; that ship sailed when I knew that I had to cut down on my computer usage time. :cover: :p)
