    TO DO LIST: Make sure Kara understands she is worthy of LOVE

    By the grace of God I will not let her believe she isn’t worthy of the love she deserves.
    She doesn’t need to believe the shit those boys in 8th grade say to her.
    YES, she is different. NO, she isn’t a cheerleader or a popular. YES, she has a weird sense of humor. NO, she isn’t the smartest girl in school.
    BUT SCREW YOU, she is BETTER than all those girls will EVER be.

    OH, the places she will go.  She will will travel and see the world. She will graduate from college and prove you wrong.  She will be beautiful and when she smiles…all of her teeth will be in the exact place they should be.  Her personality will make you wish you had given her the time of day.  She won’t remember you though. You know who she will remember? She will remember Kyle Hudgins and how you all picked on him and how he ALWAYS had her back.  She will remember his friendship and respect him for it.  YOU will not get that respect because you wouldn’t sit next to her in the gym because she was ‘different’.  For the girls who pick and tease her, you will also not be remembered.  She will remember Avery and how Avery was always there to understand her silly jokes and call her when she was down.
    She will meet someone who will love her for ALL that she is.  Weird, dorky, funny, beautiful and SMART.

    But, dear God…give me the strength to teach her these things, that she IS worthy of all of this. Don’t let her settle for the first person that shows her attention.  Let me be smart enough to teach her that she is SMART and she is BEAUTIFUL and SO SO SO WORTHY.  She doesn’t deserve to ever feel trapped, unloved, scared and pushed into a corner.

    Kinda deep for a To Do List huh?

    Did you play?

    It’s Thursday….Tomorrow is Friday.

    Okay, this year seriously BITES on American Idol. I really don’t like any of the guys. the women are split down the middle.

    I like the Jack Osborne guy because…well, he’s weird and funny.  He can sing, but he’s no Chris Daughtry.

    The women;  How do you politically correctly say this?  Screw it.  The black girls ROCK, KICK ASS, CAN SING!.  I mean, ALL of them are fifty times better than the white girls.  There, bring on the hate mail, I said ‘black and white’ and compared the two.

    Now on to the Shaun Commentary from the evening (the only real reason I watch this show).

    After returning from picking Marina up from church and missing the second and third singers.

    “What did I miss?”
    “Nothing. You have to rewind and watch the dog walker, she’s sort of weird.”
    “The red head? I HATE HER!”
    “Shaun, you haven’t even her sing yet.”
    “Doesn’t matter. I HATE HER.”
    “Why?”
    “You can’t ask that, You can’t ask WHY I hate someone. I just do.”
    “Oooohhh-kay.”

    After she started singing;

    “Well, I don’t really like her either, but I do like her boots!”
    “You know what those boots are?” he asks.
    “No?” .
    “Those boots were made for dog walkin’.  And that’s just what they’ll do.”

    He REALLY doesn’t like the dog walking, red head.

    Tomorrow’s SPF: ‘Your TO DO list’.
