You Don't Know What You've Got 'til You Lose It

What a long week. I can't believe how much such a small thing can affect my life. You know how they say that you don't know what have until you lose it. Well, I didn't know what I had. I've spent my entire life with this thing and I took it for granted. It was always there waiting for me to look up at it in wonder, but to me it just faded into the background of my life. How selfish and shortsighted of me to forget such an important part of my life. I could have done more, I could have said something...At least goodbye, but did I? Of course not. I just sat there while they took it away from me, unknowingly, I had to read about it in the paper. How will I go on? How will I continue to live knowing that it is no more. Now, its just as insignificant as any other piece of dust. No one asked me what I wanted. No one asked me how I felt about it. They just took it away. One day, it will be back. They will realized the error of their ways, the huge mistake that they have made.

I guess I'll just go on living my life. Soon I'll probably forget about it like I had so many times before when it was right there in front of me like a light shining in my face. It will probably be alright. Most people from here on out will be fine without it. My daughter will grow up not even knowing it existed. Unless...Unless I spread the word...Unless I tell her and everyone else about it. Then it can never go away. Then it will never die no matter how much they want it to. They might make the rules but they don't rule me. I'll show them...

That Pluto is a planet!

I just hope they don't get rid of Pluto the dog. I really couldn't deal with that. Just because he's not as famous as goofy or Clifford doesn't mean he shouldn't be called a dog. We should all pray.

:) We're having a girl. Any advice TJ and Beth?

Now the acronym to remember the planets doesn't make any sense. I mean, "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine...", what the heck is that supposed to mean? What did she serve us? Now, thanks to those morons she can't serve us ANYTHING!
