i still look at people and wonder why they have been blessed with children, yet our child was taken away. i know i shouldn't do this. i know i shouldn't judge others parenting skills and the blessings they have, but i contiually find myself doing it. when i hear a mother call her 1 1/2 year old butt-head, i have a very hard time not turning around and telling her my thoughts. i was extremely close this afternoon. i almost yelled at a person in the parking lot. i wanted to say that she should feel blessed to have a child and that no child deserves to be called names especially by an inconsiderate and intolerable mother who brings her 1 1 2/2 year old child into a movie theater to watch a harry potter movie and then proceeds to call her child a butt-head because he wouldn't let her watch the movie.

first things first. the kid is 1 1/2 half! who knows a toddler who can sit through a 2 hour and 15 min flick...let alone a 30 minute movie.

second. it's a scary movie! who would allow their child to get that much stimulation let alone be in the form of something that could freak him out?

third. a butt-head? that's a great way to start degrading your child. what a great way to harm your child, start calling his names. stupid is a good one too. i mean while you're at it, let' s really screw with his self esteem.

why does God place these people in my path? there are so many amazing parents out there. why do i have to continually see the crap ones? especially now that i've lost Jorai. i just have no tolerance anymore. i think that's a huge reason why i'm dreading going back to my work. seeing all of the parents that come into my office. i don't know how i can keep my mouth shut. i don't want to judge them. we are all on different paths. we all have our demons. Jesus doesn't want me to judge. He wants me to love, especially the unlovable. but how can i? how can i look at such a wonderful child and hear his mother call him names without saying something?

Jesus, please give me the strength to discern whether i should turn my ear or speak the truth. and if i should speak the truth, please arm my words with love and not anger.

the movie. (don't worry, i won't give specifics)

i'm a huge fan of the harry potter books. but i have to say the movies are really starting to disappoint me. the first 2 were brilliant but the following have been mediocre. brilliant effects and such yet they have to cut so much out of the books to make it fit into a measly 2 hour movie that i think they really suffer. the order of the phoenix was fun. it was entertaining but so much was left out. and harry and the gang...well let's just say that they should have been filming them quicker. harry is suppose to look young, but when i look at him, i see a handsome and buff bloke not some stringy kid. and it's not just harry. they're all getting so big. i feel like i'm watching adults pretending to play children. it's all a bit strange...and seeing we have 2 more to go. harry will be in his mid 20's by the time this is all done. oye!

it was entertaining, but i have to admit...a bit disappointing.

I think they should never have ditched Chris Columbus (director of the first two). The following three have all had different directors and think that has hurt the series a bit. They're still good though. I haven't seen this one yet...going tomorrow (Friday).
