Playing catch up...

Well it has been several weeks since I have had time to breathe, let alone update here. Suffice it to say, things are maintaining about at sea level. No update on the job front, but a few things on the horizon that offer a glimmer of hope, so I keep fingers and crossed and head held high. I have a birthday coming up in a few days, so to celebrate my best friend, and 2 other very good friends threw our bags in the trunk and headed to Sin City for a few days. Well, never has the phrase "what happens in Vegas-stays in Vegas" been so true. hmmm... 'nuff said.

The unfortunate event was getting a CURSE the hour of my return home. All's well that end's well. It was a fabulous excuse to stay in bed the entire day sipping hot chammo tea and catching up on correspondence, reading and getting myself organized for the last week of this course in school. Next Tuesday will start another course and another world of information brought into my meager mind. In the meantime.... a few shouts out to my partners in crime:

R.I.P. Chelsea King

Today was an extremely sad day in San Diego. Last week a young lady, a high school senior was running in a community park area after school and was abducted and declared missing. This was almost a year to the day marking the anniversary of another missing teen in the same area, Amber Duboi, who was never found. Although I do not begrudge ANY family from media attention when they are missing a child, I find it utterly repulsive that children of minority background do not receive nearly as much coverage.

Yesterday some of Chelsea's clothing was found and the search continued. San Diego's CSI team ran DNA tests and found semen, which was compared to a known sex offender's list and a match was found. I would not fathom giving this sick bastard's name any further media time, so he shall heretofore remain known as the bastard.

It deeply sickens me, as a human being and more importantly, a parent, that someone with a record such as his would be convicted of child molestation and released within five short years. His first victim, which I highly suspect to be the first victim he was caught molesting and NOT his only prior victim, was 13 years at the time and now is 18, close to the same age as Chelsea. Imagine what she must be thinking right now. I pray that this time he will be rightfully imprisoned for the rest of his natural life, or better yet, put to death. (Updates to follow as his case proceeds.)

As most of you know from previous posts, I am the mother of two children, the youngest being a 13 year old daughter. I also live directly next door to a convicted sex offender and I am not afraid to say, if he ever laid a hand on her, he would not have to worry about the police because he would never make it that far. He'd be dead and I would probably be in jail for murder.

In closing, I send my heartfelt prayers out to The King Family, friends and classmates of Chelsea, including my niece, who was the best friend of Miss King. I can empathize with you and pray that you are able to find peace in your heart and home. God Bless.
