I work as a school nurse, but my real joy and satisfaction comes from being my husband's wife and my kids' mom. This blog shares bits and pieces about my life.

The depths of despair
Carson would like you to listen to Angel by Sarah McLachlan while reading the introduction to his Christmas list...
In this remarkable list they’re the gifts NEEDED by a poor soul named Carson Graham. Carson has lived in agony of being beaten and neglected, having to mow the yard with no pay, being forced to spent his Saturdays, a child’s time to rest and have fun, working eight hours at the farmers market. If Carson earns money he can’t even spend it the way he wants to spend it. He has no agency living with tyrants. If you don’t act now it may be to late for Carson Graham. If you send Carson presents he needs we will send you an autographed picture of Carson Graham. Please help a child who is screaming for help
This enpassioned plea was written the day after he had the following conversation with some of his wrestling buddies:
Dude 1: Man those shoes are sweet.
Carson: Yeh, my sponsor got them for me.
Dude 1: What?! Really!? Dudes, come check out these shoes. Carson is being sponsored by Adidias!
Carson: No, I'm not sponsored by Adidias.
Dude1: Well how much did they cost?
Carson: About $140.00.
Dude 1: Man, my cost 20 bucks.
Enough said. Oh if anyone can give me a simple explanation on how to include music on my posts it would be greatly appreciated as this post really needed Angel to be playing to have the full effect of Carson's desparate plea for help.

That's funny. However, your new format has fried my retinas, so I will no longer be able to read about Carson's travails.
