the pregnant man....WHAT!?

Did anyone else catch today's episode of Oprah? I just can't quit thinking about it. It is so mentally disturbing to me, but at the same time I felt compassion for this person/couple. This world is so strange to me. Sometimes it makes me want to crawl into a happy place and pretend everything is okay. I can hardly stand to think of what the future holds for my children and I just hope and pray they will be strong and solid in their testimonies.

Was he really a man? I missed that Oprah, what happened?

No, of course he isn't a "real" man. It will never be possible for a true man to conceive and bear a child. He/She chose to keep her reproductive organs so that some day he/she could have children. A little sperm and a syringe did the job. So now a person who "looks" like a man, sounds sort of like a man, and thinks he is a man is pregnant. My dad thinks it is all a big scheme for MONEY!!!! And is appalled that they are calling it a "miracle". It is not a miracle, because he is truly still a woman...who looks like a man, but only has a pretend wee-wee.

So my sisters and I were talking about that too. Yes, beyond disturbing. Oh by the way...I have a new blog address. If you give a blog a cookie. It is currently under construction. But we need to get back in touch now that you have left the world of myspacing. Later Love

Oh my gosh I did NOT even hear about that disgustingness. What on the earth?!?

Such a bizarre world out there. I am getting anxious for Shboy...kindergarten starts this fall. It's exciting, but now that it's coming I'm getting nervous about all the new "info" he will be exposed to. Cause we just don't talk/see/hear (about) things like THAT at our house. Word World and Little Einsteins are our heroes. My sisters and I have been having this whole "how public school, crazy as it is getting, is like an inoculation" conversation. I just want to hole up and ignore all the weird stuff out there. But I know, for them to strong against it, they have to actually be exposed to it.

DeAnne you are such a good mom...I know you will teach your kids what they need to be okay! :)

And I totally laughed out loud at "wee wee!!!" You are so funny. I miss you!
