I just watched this movie with a kid, and he was impressed, loved the story and loved the acting. I wondered if he would sit through it, so I bribed him a little with ice cream. Well I didn't really bribe him, just gave it to him hoping he'd want to sit, watch and enjoy-he did.
Now I didn't want to buy ice cream today, knowing me and how I usually just shovel it in late at night, but decided I will just have a small cup mid-day, want to stick to my Fire-Engine 2 plan.
Lost and Found Family is a wonderful movie for any family to enjoy and appreciate. I appreciated an older woman and an older guy, a judge yet, falling in love-lol. Please take a few minutes and answer with some comment the blog below. This is to help and have a goal unusual, of what we normally ask of kids. If he sees a few positive comments it will enforce his positive attitude. Thanks, Life is short, Be Happy.

Help This Kid-New Foster Care Law
I am acquainted with a kid who wants to make a law which makes it beneficial for states to save money on and for children in foster care. This law would entail attachments to wages, Tax refunds, disability payments and social security benefits, much like child support.
Parents who are in a child's life but divorced pay support. When they can't things get attached. So Why should a parent who loses custody through no fault but their own, not have to pay. Why? They go on and have more marriages, relationships and even worse, more children. They get off scott free. These parents get years of help from the state to try to redo their wrongs in order to keep a family together. When the children are finally taken and rights terminated, that state and taxpayers pick up the bill. WHY?
Okay I know why as do you, but why does the state allow this? So please let me know how you feel about a kid trying to make a law to have biological parents pay into a system for their well-being, at least from the time custody was lost until a child is eighteen, and it should be retroactive. Once the state decides how much should be paid monthly or bi-monthly, if that isn't kept up until eighteen, then the amount and court order continues until the amount is paid. Just to be clear, as an example if a child is seventeen, parents lost custody and the court ordered one hundred a month, that child should receive into an account or the state for care, a total of twelve hundred by the time the child is eighteen. If the money isn't paid it stays on the books until paid in full.
These people move, change names and have replacement babies, but what about the kids left behind? If you agree, please leave a comment so he can see he has support to achieve his long term goal.

Trace Adkins, I'm Waiting!!!
Okay Trace, I know you're playing hard to get, even though you have a great, beautiful and young wife, wonderful family and just aout everything a guy could ask, but...I am still waiting.
Hey, you who know me, stop laughing. So I could be his mother! So what, who cares and what's it to ya? Nothing wrong with dreaming. So Trace, call me anyway. I have a lot, a whole lot of songs, I'd be happy to share, fifty/fifty?

Take me Home You Silly Boy
Just watched Harry's Law. Near the end Harry, played by Kathy Bates sang a song so softly( an old, first husband died) and it went like this.
Take me home you silly boy, Because I'm still in Love with you. The tune, softness and words doesn't leave a lump in your throat, but a rock. No matter how long it's been since a first true love, it really doesn't go away.

Change school hrs. improve wellness,happiness&grades Proof
Reading Nurture Shock, Page 36. Talking about the differences in adults and teens, melatonin, when it kicks in and how long it lasts. In Edina Minnesota, proof was obvious as explained that teens if sent to bed at ten, the melatonin didn't kick in until ninety minutes later, so they wake up tired, go to school tired and perform as tired.
So what did they do? They changed school hours, from 7:25 to 8:30. Tests scores went up, performance over all improved and the kids were happier and more alert. Kids get less sleep while in High School.
Then in Lexington Kentucky, the same thing happened, not only that, BUT car accidents went down 25% compared to the rest of the state.
Can you imagine how much happier people would be if their melatonin was on the hormonal clock instead of the alarm clock? School districts would have more time to clear snow roads, and it would be all around safer for people driving to work. Time for changes . Just thoughts.
