|Reviews for Somewhere In Between
| Guest chapter 1 . 6/20/2014
This almost made me cry. Your writing is so full of believable emotion, it's hard not to feel sadness while reading this. The story completely draws you in and doesn't let go till the end. Masterfully done.
| SetoEevee7 chapter 1 . 3/5/2010
Oh my gosh! That was so beautiful! Wonderful job!
| ReinSohma chapter 1 . 1/14/2009
This is so screwed up. I want to say worse It was really good, but dang. I feel so sad now. Thanks. lol... v-v Shigure! This is not cool.
Nice job though. Even though I feel like my heart is wretched out of my chest, nice.
| KittyKatze20 chapter 1 . 8/1/2008
Aw, Shigure wasn't free, you sick and twisted little b*(this is to be taken as a compliment), this is good, but sad, I think you did a pretty good job at procrastinating, poor Ha'ri.
| Otaku Mom chapter 1 . 3/16/2008
Wow! I missed this one. I hate thinking of Shigure as following Akito even in death...but of all the Sohmas I find Shigure to be the deepest, even more so than Hatori. His passions seem to run the strongest and if anyone was that loyal to Akito, it would have to be him. Beautiful story, beautifully written as always.
I've always thought of Shigure, and Hatori to a lesser degree, as wanting to give all of the Zodiac members a chance to be happy and free of the curse. Shigure is the one will to do anything to achieve that end and this story portrays that thought to me without putting it in so many words.
| Joon chapter 1 . 11/15/2007
I feel rather bad b/c I've been reading your Fruits Basket fics for awhile now and I've never once reviewed.
I absolutely *love* the way you write the Hatori/Shigure friendship. You capture the tight bond and love between them, but also that distinct space between them that will always keep them separate. And I think especially in this fic you really demonstrated that closeness and yet, separation they have with one another.
I love your writing and I love all your FB fics, but this one probably ranks as my absolute favorite. Wonderful, wonderful work! Please keep on writing!
| loretta537 chapter 1 . 9/20/2007
this is so sad! could you write another chapter about what everyone thinks of what happened? maybe the funeral?
| ello guvner chapter 1 . 4/24/2007
That was amazing. I had tears running down my face.
| Everbloom-Karisa chapter 1 . 4/22/2007
That was so beautiful. You are an amazing writer.
| NinjaxOfxThexNight chapter 1 . 4/21/2007

| M.E. Vaughan chapter 1 . 4/15/2007
| loritakitochan chapter 1 . 4/14/2007
first i was so happy! you know i love your fiction!after reading the dedication(thank you so much for this!) i run like a mad chicken!now i finish the story, and im so sad,but kind of happy too!I think for the first time in a fiction Shigure and Akito died together like Romeo and Juliet,like it should be!this is sad but right!I think you are the author who describe best Shigure-Hatori friendship.
"...remained the soft sobbing of a free man, lamenting for the day of the dragon,the dog, and their one true God"
you kill me!this is almost too good!Now i need chocolate or better pure serotonin.

Author has written 4 stories for Prince of Tennis, Kuroko no Basuke/黒子のバスケ, and K.
First off, to all those who are curious about my Nationality, I am from Singapore! A tiny country in SouthEast Asia with a modern city life, and not to forget our Singlish.
Current Progress: ...Oh Well, as long as I'm happy! =_=
What I plan to write:
Aomine x Oc x Kise will be in Basketball for You's Omake, look forward to it!
K Project's A Purplish Hue will be written based on both it's manga and anime.
English: Good enough but trying to solve my abrupt grammar;
Kuroko No Basuke
Basketball For You : Oc x ???
Prince Of Tennis
Camp of Prince : Oc x Undecided (Hiatus)
Shitenhouji,Houji,Houji : Oc x Shitenhouji
Potential Ideas>>
G.o.M "You" Series--
Winning Over You: Akashi x Oc x Murasakibara
Copying From You: Oc x Kaijou
Together With You: Oc x Kuroko
Personally : I don't bite, so I appreciate any sharing of idas for OC story's!
To all the new authors out there, do note your grammar and your manners! Also, it is very rude to mistreat your readers or flame in your reviews, nobody likes the person who ruins their day...
Remember that the Internet likes users who are polite, humble and friendly! ( But the fine line between Friendly and Noisy is very thin...)
And if you could, pls dnt type lik tis, or any form of something which is hard for a teacher to read.
Thank you!
I wish you a happy day ahead!

DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die. A Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has many benefits that provide the needed base for a true DevOps paradigm. In his Day 3 Keynote at 20th Cloud Expo, Chris Brown, a Solutions Marketing Manager at Nutanix, will explore the ways that Nutanix technologies empower teams to react faster than ever before and connect teams in ways that were either too complex or simply impossible with traditional infrastructures.

Most DevOps journeys involve several phases of maturity. Research shows that the inflection point where organizations begin to see maximum value is when they implement tight integration deploying their code to their infrastructure. Success at this level is the last barrier to at-will deployment. Storage, for instance, is more capable than where we read and write data. In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 20th Cloud Expo, Josh Atwell, a Developer Advocate for NetApp, will discuss the role and value extensible storage infrastructure has in accelerating software development activities, improve code quality, reveal multiple deployment options through automated testing, and support continuous integration efforts. All this will be described using tools common in DevOps organizations.

As enterprise cloud becomes the norm, businesses and government programs must address compounded regulatory compliance related to data privacy and information protection. The most recent, Controlled Unclassified Information and the EU's GDPR have board level implications and companies still struggle with demonstrating due diligence. Developers and DevOps leaders, as part of the pre-planning process and the associated supply chain, could benefit from updating their code libraries and design by incorporating changes. In her session at 20th Cloud Expo, Maria Horton, CEO of EmeSec, will discuss how addressing the new liabilities of sensitive data tracking for GDPR and CUI via code design can reap huge benefits for organizations and for developers that due just that whether in cloud, IoT or traditional environments.

The Mind's EyeMature
We were sitting in a line, glaring with stony faces out at the gathering Durman's. A united front, no weakness, no differentials. Kathite soldiers lined the walls, knowing full well that if we found nothing today, their class would be next under suspicion. We had not announced it, but everyone knew.
The door closed and I realised that must mean all the Durman families had entered and were accounted for. A list of those who had decided not to arrive would be given to the council once we had finished, and they would be found and forced to open their minds.
"Members of the Durman class!" Councillor Lamira spoke, loud and clear across the great hall. "You have been called here to quiet some of the disturbing rumours and occurances we have come across lately. If each of you agree to have your minds checked, it will be quick and you will be free to go. Those who resist will make it harder for themselves. We shall check you, we shall learn if you have taken part in any of these affronts. Do not be concerned, any memories which we have no use for will not be pried in to. We do not wish to know any personal details you may be thinking of. Just anything relating to this so called rebellion. Please make your way forward one by one to a member of the council and hold out one of your hands."
The Durman's shuffled to obey. They were not happy, anyone could see that, but it had to be done and although I felt sorry for them, I had to do my duty. My first Durman approached and held out her hand. She was scowling.
"It will not hurt." I assured her. She blinked in surprise, then scowled again and shoved her hand further forward. I lay my cool fingers lightly on hers and at once my consciousness leapt in to hers. The Resistance. I sent the thought forward in to her mind and watched as Lamira's speech replayed. Then whispers appeared, other Durman's whispering behind market stalls about rumours they had heard. There was nothing I had not heard already, just that there had been a robbery, food poisoning... of course Kashi had mentioned that only this morning... "Thank you." I said to her and released her hand. She nodded and left. The following Durman's were very much the same, they had only heard whispers. I sighed, knowing this would be a tedious day. What if none of these Durman's knew anything?
"Guards!" I opened my eyes and released the Durman I was now interrogating, snapping my head to my left, where the noise had come from. One of the council members, an arrogant and sometimes angry man named Basniv had imprisoned a Durman within a binding spell. The Durman was struggling and squealing. "This one must be taken back to the Citidel for further interrogation." Two guards stepped forward and placed their own binding spell upon the Durman before leading him off. One small victory perhaps. I turned back to the Durman i had been interrogating and told him he was free to go. He hurried off. I looked down at my desk and my notes. Names of each Durman I had listened to and reports of what they remembered. It was pitiful and unimportant. A hand appeared in front of me and I glanced up, then stopped. This girl was familiar.
Lantern like green eyes, staring from the dark. Her eyes were wide with recognition now. This was Celeste's sister.
"This will not hurt." I repeated the same thing I had said to everyone and touched her fingers with mine. She shifted slightly and I gave her a light smile to let her know everything was ok. Then I closed my eyes and drifted in to her subconsciousness.
Where to start? I should only be looking for the resistance, but I was curious about Celeste and her sister. How had they become so distant? Unwittingly I sent Celeste in to her brain. Images of her sister came to mind, of her with narrowed eyes as she flounced from a small house never to return again, her coldness when she came to the shop. Her parent's sadness that their daughter no longer showed any sign of loving them. Then earlier memories seeped through, blurry but warm. Celeste laughing, dancing around, creating magic that amazed everyone... a little sister watching lovingly and in awe as her big sister became better and better at magic.
I felt the girl move her figners as if to draw them away and tightened my hand on hers to stop her. I had done wrong and must finish my task before she went. The Resistance.
Her friend telling her what she had heard. Her meal being interrupted by a man I knew all to well, to tell her she must go to the city hall. I smiled slightly when I saw her defiance as he expected her answer. She knew little more. Rumours, like the rest. But her friend might know something...
I withdrew from her mind.
"Thank you. You may go."
"I thought you weren't supposed to look at personal things." She was defiant here too. A smile tugged the corner of my lips.
"I apologise. You must have good senses if you knew what I was seeing. I was curious about your sister."
"Why?" She really did not care that her attitude would have gotten her in to trouble with anyone but me. But then anyone else would not have pried in to her relationship with her sister.
"Your sister and I... we are expected to be married. It would please a great many people if we were." She pursed her lips, nodded her head, and turned to leave. "Thank you." I muttered after her before jotting down every note that I had learned from her about the resistance. Her friend, Sahara, was next in my queue. Perhaps she would know a little more, since she seemed so well informed.

Rising Costs of Wasted Time on Manual Processes
By Clinton Jones on Feb 23, 2015
Late in 2013, an article surfaced through the wires citing that time wasted by office workers hunting for lost documents cost British businesses a staggering £15 billion a year. The survey of over 1,000 desk-based office workers found that more than two-thirds of them spent up to an hour a day hunting for missing documents. The research by infoMENTUM was carried out by independent research agency Censuswide.
Up to £15 billion wasted annually in the UK looking for 'lost' documents at work
Almost one fifth of workers were described as having failed to find what they were looking for and then used up even more time when they had to recreate the missing documents from scratch. When your operational groups are hamstrung by a shortage of manpower and laboring under tight deadlines like period end close and highly manual processes, is it any surprise that delays and errors creep into your end to end processes?
Office workers suggested the biggest factor contributing to their wasted time was out-of-date software and hardware, along with burdensome manual processes.
Over one fifth of those interviewed described their organizations' IT systems and processes as "archaic, unreliable, slow and awkward." Nearly sixty percent said that their IT system was only updated occasionally and a significant percentage (10%) stated the system was only upgraded when it was broken. A smaller number suggested their systems were never updated (3%).
With the average UK hourly wage rate coming in at just under £16 in 2013, and around 233 working days in a year, the calculations of forfeited time add up quickly.
It is estimated that around 25% of the 31M UK labor force are office workers, so in the time that has elapsed since the initial report and calculations were made, the results could well have increased significantly over the staggering fifteen billion pounds.
Many of these 'lost' documents more than likely got lost as a result of workflow activities that were not properly administered or managed. Companies can save not only time but archival and storage costs by replacing paper-based processes with electronic ones.
While the benefits of office automation are largely self evident, for finance groups in particular, switching to more automated and system-based data gathering and integration technologies like Winshuttle Studio and Winshuttle Foundation can not only avoid wasting time, but actually redirect scarce finance resources to higher value work like analytics and decision support.

Pontiac automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of dependability when driving their Grand Prix around town. You bought your Grand Prix because its dependability and an American name agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? When your Pontiac Grand Prix left the factory, it was destined for a driver who values an American name in their automobile. While it's not hard to locate replacement parts for Pontiac vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to maintain your automobile.
Believe it or not, but for a long time there was no such thing as power steering. If you were to analogize your Pontiac Grand Prix steering system with the human body, the power steering pump would be its heart and the fluid would be its blood. Your Pontiac Grand Prix power steering pump is connected to the pulley on the crankshaft via a drive belt, and derives its power by borrowing the crank's momentum. It assists your steering by compressing the hydraulic power steering fluid and sending it to the steering gear. You will notice a gradual loss of your power steering if the power steering pump is leaking, but if it seizes you can expect no power steering at all.
Don't let a broken Power Steering Pump spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the best repair parts. Buying new Pontiac parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Grand Prix parts on the internet. When your Pontiac needs a top quality replacement Power Steering Pump, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Need 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964, 1963, 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Power Steering Pump parts?

To Ms. Anonymous
"Don't you think that running through the drive-thru right after feeding therapy is sending Kam the wrong message? I mean, he probably doesn't want to eat veges because he's so used to fast food. Apparently, he gets to eat fast food ALL the time. What's the point of the feeding therapy then?! There is nothing like a home cooked meal, with veges."
First of all, it's "Veggies" not "veges". Second of all, if you knew ANYTHING about Kameron you would know that it is sensory issues that prevent him from eating the texture of veggies... these issues being directly related to his sensory integration disorder. If you'd also bothered to read the Q&A you'd see he ate apples and drank milk with it. What's so unhealthy about that?! Also, if you'd bothered to have read the whole post you would have seen that with the extremely busy day I had there wasn't much chance of getting a homecooked meal. Do I like to cook? NOPE! Do I cook as often as I should? NOPE! But my kids DON'T eat fast food ALL the time and they DO get well balanced meals... except for Kameron who promptly gags and throws up as soon as they touch his mouth... hence the feeding therapy. My goal is to be able to have us all sit down and eat the SAME thing without me having to make him a completely different meal. I'm sorry I don't cook a full 5 course meal every night. I have a FEW other things to do with my time. Lastly, if you're going to insult me, feel FREE to leave your name or use my email. Only cowards insult others anonymously.

But i do need to go because i just turned my head and my 4 y/o is eating sour cream from the tub and i almost think DH gave it to him, not totally sure on the dh thing as he just left for work.
We are at home and its dairy so would that be a home cooked dairy meal, lol?

I didn't know Kamm had sensory issues. Sorry, I sometimes only have time to skim and I mess a lot. *blush* Anyhoo, My 12 year old son was diagnosed with SPD when he was 7. We did OT for a year that included listening therapy. It changed our life!!
BTW, he has yet to eat a veggie. He gags to this day. Oh, well. There are worse things than never eating veggies. Like...Being rude, perhaps?

Oh that is horrible. I've seen a number of blogs being "invaded" by these rude people who try and criticise and tell people what they have to do or what they are doing is wrong. I've even seen a mom who lost her child a year ago being told to "move on" and "if she can't be positive then to stop posting in a public journal".
A journal is a diary, it is not a forum to get everybody's opinions. So what? All our kids eat junk food at some point in time, we often resort to that if Bianca is fussy because of her chemo. I would rather she eats something than not eating at all and getting another nose tube. We are trying very hard to get her to eat normal things, but unfortunately her taste for food changed the day she started Dex.
You are doing a great job. Just ignore idiots like that.

Obviously the person doesn't understand what SID is! And I'm sorry if you got him the fries and a soda with it, it would still be fine! But the apple fries are pretty delicious! He is your child and he is working his butt off to over come his sensory issues. It is not an easy task and he is being very brave about it!
- Sunday, October 26, 2008 at 1:32:00 PM MDT
Unfortuantely disorders such as ASD and sensory integration don't have a disablitiy "look".
My Luke lives on Velveeta shells and cheese, McDonalds double cheese burgers, fruit chews, and string cheese. I can't even get him to try a french fry. He will finally eat DQ soft chocolate ice cream.
I was once told by a fellow shopper that I was abusing Luke becuase it was 32 deg and he didn't have a coat or shoes. Then she had the nerve to tell me (in front of my children) that the only reason people do foreign adoptions was so they could abuse their children and not get in trouble. I asked her why she thought they were adopted. Her response was - duh, they don't look like you. I responded with - duh, they take after their father. (yes, they are adopted from China and look nothing like my German heritage).
I could go on and on. I am very thankful for all of my friends and family who are accepting of Luke and his needs.

Amen, Renee!! I can't stand people who make rude and ignorant comments without taking the time to learn about the situation.

Good for you, Renee! Give 'em hell!
Why anyone would think they can judge the quality of your children's diet based on ANY amount of posts you write is beyond me. Yes, you share a lot of your life, but I'm fairly certain you don't give the in-depth view of every moment that occurs. That Anonymous person is the type who frustrates the heck out of me because they adopt a false familiarity (thinking they KNOW you) and then judge you
I have several children with special needs and of my 7, only a few eat "normally". Sensory issues affect eating for 2 of them to a HUGE degree & another 1 has a g-tube because his body struggles to digest food at all! As a result, I have a kid who won't eat veggies, another kid who can't eat fruit (not won't ~ CAN'T. He gags & vomits, just like Kam), a kid who shuns most kinds of meat and a kid who gets most of his calories each day from formula pumped into his stomach but the foods he DOES eat are all junk-food. Your Ms. Anonymous would have a heyday judging my parenting abilities, I'm quite sure (rolls eyes).
I'm sorry you had to read a crappy comment like that. I know that sensation of thinking, "Did you bother to READ anything that I've written about this child before you jumped to your completely-erroneous conclusions?!?" It's annoying.
There's more to being a good mom than having culinary skills and whipping up a home-cooked meal every night.
It just occurred to me, though, what does Ms. Anonymous think feeding therapy IS? Does she think that they teach Kam which foods are healthy and which aren't? Seriously.... the comment that you're supposedly giving Kam the wrong message by going to a fast-food restaurant after feeding therapy makes me suspect your anonymous poster is a complete ignoramous when it comes to understanding what kind of therapy you had just come from. She really should get educated before posting a response on ANYONE'S blog ever again, especially when medical conditions & their treatments are the subject matter.

Why do people (including myself sometimes) not get the simple truth that mean-spirited, judgemental, rude, and ignorant reactions to others' situations in life are not only unproductive but detrimental?
Sensory Integration Disorder is a REAL problem with everyday implications that most people have NO way of comprehending unless they do a little more listening and a lot less spouting off. When you can't take your child in your own back yard because the feel of the grass (even with shoes on) freaks him out... that is SID. When your child chokes and vomits still at age 4 when you try to get him to try a chip for the millionth time that year, but he just can't handle the signals it sends through his CNS.... that is SID. And, when you can't dress your child in hardly ANY Halloween costumes because they will rip off any type of clothing that is not the absolute norm out of sheer panic and overwhelming discomfort... that is SID.
These "anonymous" people should do their homework and attempt to bring more compassion into their life. I don't want to bash them, but I hope they are educated through blogs like this about all the "invisible" issues that children with different needs and their families live with on an everyday basis.

Hmmm, this is why I don't allow anonymous comments!
How did you decide it was time for feeding therapy? Kayla eat like FOUR things (GF waffles, GF noodles - spiral only, GF pretzels, and bananas) right now. Gotta love that autism stuff.
Although Laurie finally started eating things other than "beige" food when she turned 6, so I guess that's why I'm waiting with Kayla.

Way to go Renee! People should just keep rude comments to themselves. If I had a blog, they would be able to leave me lots of nasty messages. Elijah gets his fruits and veggies from V8 fusion, and thinks Wendy is his mom....lol.

Poor Kam! I can relate to his sensory stuff. I still do not eat apples with the skin on because it makes me gag. The texture is just.. yuck! He is lucky to have such an awesome understanding mommy to take him to feeding therapy and not make him feel guilty for struggling to eat certain foods! I am really interested to hear about feeding therapy, too bad it wasn't around when i was a kid!
also, nothing bothers me more than people who hide behind anon accounts!

People are just rude. Sometimes Sarah's meal consist of goldfish and occ a few bites of cheese. I get tired of being spit at and at some point I just need to get calories in and go on. You are doing great! Glad Kam ate the peas. I did not know he had sensory issues. Sarah gags so easily sometimes, it is frustrating! My kids would not even think of apple fries, nope must have french fries and a sprite!

I'll bet Ms. Anon was chugging a soda and noshing on french fries while she was typing away...
BTW, I'd never heard of feeding therapy, or the sensory issue. This is facinating (I'm sure it's not first hand) I'm going to have to look it up and see what it's about. Is there a particular website that has good info?

You go Girl!!! If someone could walk in minute in your shoes they would keep their mouth shut. You are the most amazing person there is. You have four children to deal with and a husband that is in a dangerous situation. What business is it of anyone what you chose to do. People just don't get it.

Good grief! It is so amusing to me how presumptious people can be.

Renee, You know I love you! You are are the best mom ever. I don't think another mom in the world would love your children the way you do. You have two children with special needs and you rock at getting them through that. Not to mention the other two children who also need your attention. So, keep doing what you are doing. Good for you for standing up for your child. Don't let a "grown adult"pick a fight with you over how to take care of your own son.

You know, it just really annoys me how people are so judgemental. The assumptions people make without knowing anything about walking in the shoes they are judging. I am so sick of explaining why my 3 year old is still using a paci, why we stick with toddler meals for him among other things. Hugs to you and your beautiful family!

This must be the week for anonymous rudeness. I had one this week and so did Pam at Rhett's journey. Not sure what it is but these are our blogs and people really need to lay off.
My two year old also has SPD and we are currently going to OT once a week. We will start the feeding clinic Dec 3 (we are waiting to go to that after his tonsils taken out on Halloween). So for the ones who just don't get it, you really need to educate yourself on SPD so you don't sound like such an idiot.

I had to go back and reread everything b/c apparently I missed some details. Seriously, I feel your pain. Who has time to cook, and when I do cook, I have the same problem w/ my 5 year old, he gags and throws it up! It's such a waste and we're so frustrated. I never thought of feeding therapy though, hmmmm. I think he's got some tactile defensiveness and other fine motor issues, so maybe an OT is in order ...

First, very well said! Wonderfully written! To the point! And, it's not like you have so much time since your spouse is a zillion miles away keeping our country FREE and dealing with a child who has a ton of medical needs! I know all about sensory issues. My middle son faces the same thing and we still do feeding therapy at home because we have no insurance. I understand Kam's pain and yours. It's a slow process! Keep up the good work!

Like others, I don't even know you personally, and yet, I KNOW that you are an amazing mother. I'm wishing that I had a fraction of your strength, gumption, patience, and energy.
From the sounds of rude anonymous reader, (and from my own lack of awareness of the sensory disorder Kam deals with) sounds like you might need to write a book.
I have a friend who is writing a book about their adoption of a baby with attachment disorder. They eventually had to make the agonizing decision to give him up (he attempted to murder one of their other children - knives had to be locked up, the child had to be physically contained). They even had to move because others around them were so critical of their final decision.
God gives us each different paths. We have no idea what it takes to walk in another person's shoes. Hope all these positive comments have drowned out any negative vibes anonymous readers could possibly send your way!

My name is Kelly. I know Renee and her mother from Northern California. I want to apologize for leaving anonymous comments to Renee on these postings. While I am not the one to leave this insensitive message you blogged about here - I have left them. I do not have a "Google/Blogger", "OpenID","Name/URL" - so, I just leave it as Anonymous. I am very sorry to be associated with 'mean' people who do not think before speaking. I will try to start my posts from now on with my name, given I usually forget to "sign" it until after it has sent because I am used to my email automatically adding my name to the bottom.
Keeping you in my prayers, Renee!

I can't figure out why anyone would spend time leaving critical comments on someone else's blog... my kids always tell me how at school they say "when you point a finger at somebody, there are three pointing back at you..."
Hopefully by now you know I think you are an AWESOME mom and your kids are so blessed to have you. (You know, Alec used to be a very poor eater and I was *thrilled* when he would eat a Happy Meal.) Sounds like Kameron is making good progress with sensory issues (we are not free of them at my house either) and that is GREAT. Hope God will turn "Anon's" heart.

The nerve of some people amaze me. Renee, i want to let you know that i have great admiration for your family. 1st: your husband serves full time in the military for OUR freedom...thank you Frank. Hats off to all military personnel and their families.
Then, you are a stay at home mom to 4 beautiful children which is like 4 full time jobs and the most rewarding job of all. You are a great mom. i can tell from reading your blog that your special k's keep you REALLY busy. With this being said, my point is SO FREAKIN WHAT IF YOU GO THRU A DRIVE THRU ONCE OR TWICE OR MORE PER WEEK??? That is YOUR business. Heck, i only have one little one and he keeps me hopping and we go thru a drive thru about once per week too. so, i guess i am a bad mom too. oh well, our kids are happy and healthy. The person who left you such a rude comment must be jealous of you. lol. Your life is so exciting and i can tell that you never have a dull moment around your house...who wouldnt be jealous?????? Dont let one bad apple ruin the whole tree. There are sooooooo many of us that love your family and enjoy your blog. Thank you very much for being you and sharing your daily lives with us. I admire you so much. I want to be just like you when i grow up. haha. :)

Yikes. People are really weird sometimes and have nothing better to do than to criticize good people like you who take incredible care of their kids. Samantha doesn't eat, either, and I can't really remember the last time she let me feed her a vegetable.
Actually, I managed to give her some Chunky beef/vegetable soup the other day but only if each spoonful contained goldfish. LOL
I've found the secret!

hmmm, you only have, lets see...
Four kids
One with DS
AND leukemia (in remission!=D)
AND hydronephrosis, a vascular ring, sleep apnea, tlantoaxial Instability and Atlanto-Occipital Instability,
One child with SID
A husband in the forces
AND who is currently deployed (for the THIRD time)
And did I mention you don't have a nanny, either?
If you ate fast-food every day I would still think you're an amazing mother!
And yes, miss ignorant-anonymous, I know all that and have been keeping up with this blog for LESS THAN A MONTH. If a just-turned 13, wheelchair bound girl (who is also on medications that can affect the mental aspects such as memory, like low dose chemo, steroids & pain medications) can figure all this out (and my apologies to Renee if I messed some of the info up), than would it really hurt for you to *GASP!* THINK before you insult this AMAZING family, who, did I mention, is also the winner of the 2008 Military Motherhood Award?
Need I say more?

I do home child care through the day, needless to say I am stuck at home, no store trips for me. We have basketball practice, baths, dinner, bed, homework, and with a baby I cant breathe..who has time for cleaning the kitchen, dishes and cooking veggies all the time. This is the year 2008 not everyone eat properly all the time...cant....society wants life to be rushed as it is.....So back off from Renee.....

HSBC Profit Slumps 45% in 2Q, Unveils $2.5 Billion Buyback, Ditches Targets
HSBC's (HSBA.UK / 0005.HK) second quarter results didn't exactly shoot the lights out, but the Anglo-Asian lender did have some good news in store for investors - a $2.5 billion buyback funded by its retreat from Brazil.
That's as good as it got for investors as the Anglo-Asian lender unveiled a 45% year-on-year decline in pre-tax profit, while also unveiling a plan to deliver a return on equity in excess of 10% by 2017 was being abandoned.
The bank's Hong Kong-listed shares are down 16% so far this year, though the London-listed shares were up 3.8% in Wednesday trading.
HSBC has focused on building its Asian presence. Here's chairman Douglas Flint's take on the company's China-focused strategy;
Our focus on the Pearl River Delta remains a key priority. We see growing movement in public policy decisions towards needed infrastructure investment on a massive scale, notably through the Belt and Road initiative in China, to underpin increased urbanisation across Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and in support of the transition to a lower carbon economy. Capital markets development in both Europe and Asia remains essential to diversify funding sources, to address demographic ageing and to expand the role of 'green' bond finance. Outward investment from China is growing fast and is expected to accelerate. Internationalisation of the renminbi is also expected to accelerate as a consequence of all of the above. HSBC is well positioned for all of these mega trends...

Tyrone Getts materialized on the steps of the Process, Inc. building at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Main Street. The Process, Inc. building, as well as both Fifth and Main, had also materialized only moments before. A scattering of freshly-appeared pedestrians and the drivers of a few cars filled out the scene, but took no notice of their new stranger.
The man was not concerned at finding himself suddenly outside a prominent downtown business. He worked there, and despite his brief existence, knew that he had worked there for a little over a year. He was, however, struck by a vague sense that something should happen. Nothing did.
Tyrone checked his watch. It was half-past noon, the beginning of lunch. In the bag he carried slung over his shoulder was the turkey and tomato sandwich he'd packed that morning along with several mailings he needed to drop off at the post office. He's send those off first, then find somewhere shady to eat. Shoving his hands into his pockets, Tyrone started down the stairs.
Something happened.
Another man materialized, seated exactly on the step where Tyrone had quite recently been standing himself. The men were identical. Same dark skin. Same tall build. Same tight coils of black hair. They even wore the same green corduroy jackets that seemed out of sync with their khaki pants and button-down business shirts. In fact, the other man was Tyrone, only this time his clothes were rumpled and he looked as though he hadn't shaved or slept in days. This latest addition sat slumped on the stairs; a look of profound despair creased his face.
Now, there was concern.
Tyrone stood gaping at himself and tried to make some sense out of his present dual state. He failed, though it did occur to him that the twin intruder might be the one responsible for explaining things. So Tyrone (the former) was about to ask Tyrone (the latter) just what all this popping out of nowhere was about when--as abruptly as he had appeared--the other man vanished.
The double's disappearance would almost certainly have been a great relief to Tyrone, had he not also taken with him all the other pedestrians and cars, Process, Inc., and the entire corner at Fifth and Main.
Tyrone looked down. Where the steps to his office building had once been, there was now the black-top of a paved road. The road offered no hints as to where it had come from or where it might be going, just it snaked off silently into the distance of an empty field. Dumb shock sustained Tyrone long enough for him to take in his new surroundings, but then he made the mistake of once more trying to make sense of things. Things did not make sense. Tyrone's brain spun in an admirable effort at reason, but quickly gave up the cause for hopeless and quit.
Before he hit the ground, Tyrone wondered if the turkey and tomato sandwich was still in his bag.

New Zealand heavyweight Joseph Parker has hit back at what he describes as "stories" being told by opponent Brian Minto, telling the American he is going to "hurt" him at their clash in Auckland a week on Saturday.
It is the first time 22-year-old Parker has taken on an opponent during the lead-up to a fight. He normally takes a respectful, low-key approach. However, this morning, his irritation was clear as he addressed rumours about being knocked down in training and a suggestion from Minto that his perforated ear drum, suffered in his last fight against Marcelo Nascimento in Germany in late April, might not have healed.
"He's been spreading a few stories about me in my hometown, saying that I've been dropped in sparring and saying there's been problems with my ear," Parker said. "But to be honest, Brian, there's nothing wrong with my ear. It's perfectly fine.
"It was great to be in that training camp when you trained for Shane Cameron where I could see how you prepare for a fight and see how you prepare mentally as well.
Come July 5, on behalf of New Zealand I'm going to avenge that loss you gave to Shane Cameron and I'm really going to hurt you."
Asked about the change of approach, Parker replied: "I've been in camp for six weeks in Vegas and I've trained the house down. I'm a lot more confident in myself, I'm confident about what I can do in the ring, that's why I've reacted that way today."
Both Parker and his trainer Kevin Barry were in Minto's corner for his stunning victory over Cameron late last year, which brings a different dynamic to their showdown. It is understood that Barry was instrumental in securing Minto as an opponent, but an added edge has come in the form of Barry's request Minto be tested for performance-enhancing drugs. Both men will be tested tomorrow morning.
Minto, who like Parker, looked in excellent physical condition, said he wasn't bothered by the pre-fight chat from Barry. As far as Parker's trouble in training was concerned, that was something he heard from one of the South Aucklander's sparring partners, he claimed.
"It could be talk, but usually when you have a perforated ear drum it takes two months to heal. I don't believe it's been two months. I brought that out there because I thought it was something that needed to be addressed.
"I'm not talking trash, I'm just saying the facts that I've heard."
Another controversy building ahead of the fight in Manukau is the fact Minto is refusing to wear the Everlast MX gloves Parker prefers. The gloves, padded with a blend of horse hair and form, were referred to as "cheaters' gloves" by Minto.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 19, 1993, New Braunfels, Texas £&3&#AI$8$ ■$■' ' By DAVID SULLENS HsraM-Mung Kids have a rishi to know who right t Jesus Christ is. They have a right to know what He's done for them They have a right to know him personally. "Furthermore, they have a right to make their own chaos for Him «. That's not Just what Young lifts all about, that's all that Young Life's about" The words are thoee of Jim Rayburn, the founder of an orgvuza-tion dedicated to presenting a relevant God to today's Mph school age young people. Ken White, the man chosen by a local committee to bring Young Lift to New Braunfols, says ha would be hard praised toReligion White said the effort to bring Young Ufo to Comal County actually began about IR months ago when attorney Tom Bhantaar and hie fondly wem invited to a Young Life family camp In Colorado. The New Braunfels attorney sot about creating a Young Life organisation hare and soon was working with a loosely knit "oommitr tee" of city residents. The committee eventually inter-viewed and hired White who moved with hie wife, Shawna, to New Braunfols tarty this year. The Whites, native Houstonians, are both graduates of Texas AfoM University. White worked in tho law field after leaving AfoM. He planned to later seek Ms law degree, but soon turned to investment banking. He was working as a Young Ufo vokmlssr in Houston when he and Shawna decided Ms true calling was there. Young Ufo was founded when the minister of tho Presbyterian Church where Jim Rayburn was the youth minister in IMO asked him why, though the church was "right across the street from the high school, there are only six kids in our youth group." Rayburn found, according to Whits;"that kids have a lot of mio-tffwtptiont shout adult Christians ... or about God through adult Christiana." The answer, White said, ie IgfoW where the kids are at What we're about is relationship*.. "Just as God came here as Jesus Christ* we by to go where kids are to present God in a relevant way." Tb do that, White said he liaiqp oui? at Ntw Braunfols High School a lot He hopes soon to reach the county's other high schools, but says 'just the one is keeping me hopping" Young Ufo Chib meetings ars held every Monday evening et the Tree Tops Restaurant and involve nnisic aim! a variety of other activities. About 30 young peopls attended this week's Club, White said. WMte said Young Ufo has been very well received in New Braun-fols both by young people and fay the community as a whole. That acceptance, he said, is well illustrated by the fact that a fond raising dinnar for Young Lift recently announced has already drawn S3 tabla sponsors at $160 tach. "And each of those sponsors commits not only to the money, but to bringing seven other people to the dinner "Whits said. Th# dinnar is set for April 29 in th# Civie Cantar.
