Referring back to my last blog, I looked up the organization I mentioned, which is called Children To Children, and it was started by Makenzie Snyder. It's pretty dang close to my idea, except she only collects duffel bags and stuffed animals for foster kids. If you want to learn more about it, she has a website, http://www.childrentochildren.org/. She was seven years old when she set out on her endeavour. Seven! That is slightly above awesomely spectacular for someone at such a young age if you ask me. I wish I was that amazing when I was seven...
It turns out that one can start a drive for bags and stuffed animals in their city/town and send the proceeds to Makenzie where they will be distributed to kids who are in need of a bag and a friend. I'm thinking that's what I'll do, but I'm really worried about how the donors will feel about the items not staying here for the kids that need them in our community. Since I don't actually live in the United States, I can't help but second guess my potentially good deed. I'll give it some thought, and definitely talk to the person in charge at child services.
All day Saturday my mom and I were down at the girl scout office getting recirtified for infant, child, and adult CPR, and first aid. It started at nine and ended at four. Long, long day. But the instructor did have her infant son with her, so that made it all good. Plus the warm feeling of knowing I'll have a better chance of saving someone in the event of an accident.
'What did I do when I got home', you may ask. Slept of course. I seem to be doing that a lot lately, and I mean, who doesn't love sleeping, but I'm sure it isn't normal to want to sleep all the time. Just sleep. I should get that checked out. Great. Another thing added to my list.
The new One Tree Hill episode was freaking amazing! It was different from the other episodes, like five shows in one, but it added a lot to the story-line. Worried about Leyton, Julian is a jerk, hate Dan, love Naley, don't really care for Moullie. Can't wait to see the next one, which I believe is tonight. So I'll be watching that in a few days.
I didn't get much school done today, but I did get my stuff organized. Which is a good thing. The only subject I'm caught up on is psychology, so I have a long road ahead of me. I'm hoping to be completely on track by the first of April, and in order to accomplish that, I'll be working my butt off till then. It'll be great to be where I need to be, but for someone that hates doing school work, I'm in trouble. Big trouble... *Hence my blog title. I got myself into this mess, and it's up to me to find my way out.*
If you've heard of Maddie McCann, please keep her and her family in your hearts and thoughts. I believe she's still alive, although she's been missing since May 3, 2007. She's only five years old, and she deserves to go home to her mom, dad, and younger brother and sister. If you pray, please include her. Heaven doesn't need another little angel girl.
*B.T.W, SGP has been working on my computer since Thursday or Friday. Finally!*
God Bless.
