Is it
wrong of me to want to scream at people and tell them that just because
someone "looks" normal, doesn't mean that they aren't different or have
a disability? It doesn't man that you can stand behind me whispering,
making comments or worse blatantly say something to me, and in front of
my child!
My Child is not "Stupid", he is not a "troublemaker", he does not just have "an attitude problem",
and ADHD is NOT just a case of "bad parenting", You think this all
because he learns or acts in such a different manner from other kids?
That's who my child is!!! If you don't like it, then you don't have to
associate with us because I don't care what you think, I love him more
than life itself with his differences!
They are not "different
from normal people" but a variation of "normal". They do things
differently and might act different but they are still children. ADD’ers
tend to be exceptionally bright, and are typically highly creative,
artistic and/or inventive.
I have been told that Educating
everyone is very hard, it will only tire you out, and it's not worth it
but even so, education is the best weapon I have to be able to hope that
my child will have the life he deserves and as he grows people will be
less ignorant towards him! He's an amazing and smart little boy and I
will do everything in my power to ensure that he gets what he can! I
just thank God that ignorance is not contagious!

Seriously is this pick on Sabrina week?
As a single mom I get a lot of interesting conversations and in one week I actually got both of these so I wrote my little rant! Here it is!
I look tired?? Thanks for telling me!!! That's cause I AM!!! While I appreciate you being so kind and telling me how "tired" I look and trying to sympathize by telling me how tired you are too, I wish people would just realize somethings before getting into this conversation with me!
You know all of those chores that you do? Yeah I do them too. Now you know all of the chores your husband does? Yeah, I do them as well. I also work, I volunteer, I do my own shopping, my own bills, shoveling and I work out to loose weight and keep fit. oh and on top of that I have two beautiful and amazing little boys (one with ADHD) who require pretty much constant attention.
I work my ass off to make sure my kids have a good life so yeah I may look tired and exhausted and like shit somedays but I think I have a right to look tired without people telling me that I do!
"Sabrina your such a beautiful and amazing woman, I don't understand why you don't have a man!"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? REALLY? You don't understand??? Ever thought that maybe I'm fine without one? Hell I've been on my own for over a year now and I think I'm doing pretty damn well! and seriously, where am I getting time to date? I have two little boys who are with me practically 24/7, I am the one who takes care of them and Cameron practically doesn't leave my side.....so please tell me where I am getting the time to actually go on a date?? Unlike some people who have all the time in the world, or those who don't spend time with their children, I take my job as a mom pretty serious and my boys come first so EXCUSE ME if I don't make time to make myself all prettied up or take the time to find "a man"!
and that's my rant for today..............anyone else have anymore stupid comments that they would like to say to me or are we done?????

Canada Student Loans Breach.....
This month this announcement was made by the Canadian Government:
Please be advised that an electronic storage device, also known as an external portable hard drive, containing personal information on 583,000 Canada Student Loan borrowers who were
clients of the Canada Student Loans Program (CSLP) from 2000-2006 has been lost from an HRSDC office in Gatineau, Quebec.
While there is no evidence at this time that any of the information has been accessed or used for fraudulent
purposes, this incident is being taken very seriously and the Office of the Minister has engaged the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Extensive and thorough search efforts have been undertaken and continue.
The external portable hard drive included:
- personal information on 583,000 Canada Student Loan borrowers who were clients of the CSLP from 2000-2006.Student loan borrowers from the province of Quebec, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories during the same time period are not affected;
- Student names, Social Insurance Numbers, dates of birth, contact information and loan balance of Canada Student Loan borrowers;
- Personal contact information of 250 HRSDC employees;
- No banking or medical information was included on the portable hard drive.
So here's my rant about it.........
Ask yourself this: Would you feel safe knowing that there is information possibly out there somewhere that could completely destroy your identity, everything you worked for and that someone could use to completely destroy your life?
Giving these things to the government is something people do and believe that they will be safe, trusted that our own government could protect it. The government needs to realize they made a HUGE mistake and fix the problems. Yes this information could have just been "misplaced" but it obviously means that they need to look at the way they do things so that this will never happen again.
The problem is that they don't have a sweet clue where this information went. It could have accidentally been thrown out, misplaced, stolen, anything. I don't think it is too soon to do anything, I think they waited too long to announce it. They tried to fix it first so it wouldn't have to go public but they obviously screwed up and they need to fix it! I've worked hard to keep my credit where it is and I would be completely devastated if someone used my information and did something wrong with it. It would destroy my life and just
thinking about the fact that it "could" be out there is enough to give someone nightmares. We aren't talking about a little bit of information, we are talking about people's personal information, info that the government is constantly telling people to safehold, don't leave lying around, make sure it's in a safe place- I've done that all of my life, worrying about my wallet being stolen or something like that and now it's not even like it's your keys or wallet and you can call the police and try to find it since it's the government and you have NO CLUE where your information is!
well let's think of it this way:
"identity theft in amounts of $100,000 or more can result in prison sentences of up to 20 years."
Can't put the entire government behind bars - So what should happen to the government who lost all of these people's personal information that could lead to the identity theft of all of these people? What happens now that all of these people have to make phone calls to ensure that things don't happen to us because of THEIR mistake? and what about the fact that we are all sitting here worried and freaked out that anything could happen to us all because they didn't do their job and protect information that we sign contracts saying they will protect it?
Big deal the government NOW knows they made a mistake, but it's a mistake that should have never been made in the first place and they need to somehow compensate for it. If someone wronged you personally like this, a person or business, people would sue the crap out of them. Just because it is the government doesn't make it right to do nothing about it and allow them to get away with it. They should be persecuted, just like everyone else, to the full extent of their own laws! That's why they make laws isn't it?
The fact is still the government had a breach in contracts by loosing information they swear to protect. That's worth prosecuting. Maybe it is one person who was responsible for this one thing being lost, but it is the governments responsibility to make sure it is protected and having all of this information on something portable, that can be removed and now having it encrypted is careless and definitely a breach of their contract to anyone out there with a student loan giving them all of this information. They are being
falsely led that all of their information is completely protected and safe. They didn't live up to their contract, so why should people have to suffer for it.?
