Keep your kids away from this present!!!!

So - we have a self proclaimed - lifetime child rapist/molester who had been in custody of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections let out by a Dane County Judge ( Sarah O'Brien ) because some idiot "expert" witness believes there's only a 20 percent chance he will re-offend? !?!?! WHO WAS THE EXPERT??? It wasn't the Judge! Damn straight it wasn't that witness for the defense! And now, this Westby guy who has been let out and "freed" will most likely be homeless this week..... Merry Christmas Society!!!! The top tier of the Justice system just gave you one HELL of a present - not only do you have to hug and guard your babies closer....but if YOU, yes YOU society, do not provide this self proclaimed pedophile funds for shelter of some sorts....he'll be walking the streets...side by side with you and your kids! Now, isn't that just special?!?!

It's in the wiring...

Exhausted - that's what I am, one tired lady. My brain has had to absorb a lot this week - my emotions have ran the gamut, and I think I am still trying to figure it all out. There was a time in my life when no one would know what was going on inside me - I would never make a move to draw attention my way - Still, at times, I wonder why I even do it now with this blog and all the things I am involved in. Maybe it's because I grew up pretending.....pretending everything was fine..great....and we were the all American family - however deep inside I always wondered if other people had the same kind of thoughts as I did - did their family have the same secrets ours worked so hard at pretending were not there? Things like that - are we all more a like than we are different? My week started off with sitting in on a sentencing of a man being convicted of possession of child pornography- pictures where he actively sought out a victim to attain. A two hour hearing that brought tears

Overwhelming - but in a good way

It's been a few weeks since I have written. I am not sure why that is - after all I know there have been plenty of things happening around me where I have thought retelling the story would make for a good post ...but, for some reason I haven't been able to find the focus nor energy (emotional) that it takes for me to sit down and express myself like I usually do. I guess there's just too much happening....too fast....and too much on my mind. I've been overwhelmed. The death of my dog last month took a lot out of me, more than I ever expected. Then we've been so very busy at Lend a Hand , call after call after call ...all on top of a new awareness in the community like never before that we actually do have people living with the fear of homelessness...or are homeless. Donations are coming in, awareness campaigns have happened  -it all feels like it has happened over night even though it has been a long time coming....some of that scares me, and I am not sure why.
