Cobb County Hot Car Death

If you don't live in the US you might have not heard of the Cobb County hot car death.
This case hits very close to home since this is the county that we currently live in and where I grew up.
So the short version is that a dad took his son to day care most days which is about .50 miles from his work and "forgot" about his son and left him in there for 7 hours.  Baby Cooper died of heat stroke.
some people saw accident ......most people say on purpose.
This case has made National News.  This case makes me SICK!
This women and man should be in jail, better less lets lock them in a hot car and let them suffer like their poor innocent son.
The FACTS:

He had googled: what temperature does a car have to be for a person to die.
He had googled:  How to have Children free life
He hag googled:   How to survive in jail

They had taken out 2 life insurance policies on baby Cooper.  Who takes life insurance policy out on a 22 month old??

Justin Harris the so called father has sexting 7 different women and sending pictures during and before Coopers death.

2 weeks prior to Coopers death for some reason Justin Harris and his wife switched Cooper back to a rear facing car seat from already have switched to forward facing.   The police have stated that his car seat was set on the lowest and tightest level possible.  So that means that Cooper had to be in their TIGHT because that setting is for an infant like a 5-15 pound baby. 

At Cooper's funeral they say the so called mother Leanna Harris stated that if she could bring her son back she wouldn't not into this world, for his first heart break.  Are you serious girl!! If something every happened to my child. I would be on my hand and knees begging for my child to return and for God to take me!!

 If you didn't want this sweet boy that you should have given him to a family that would have loved him and cared for him for the rest of his life. 


RIP Baby Cooper and I so sorry that you had such a short time on this earth.  My you rest and be  protected with God.  May we all meet your amazing and beautiful smile one day and run and play together!  Keep smiling Cooper

Top Tips

Reduce the number of deaths from heatstroke by remembering to ACT.
A: Avoid heatstroke-related injury and death by never leaving your child alone in a car, not even for a minute. And make sure to keep your car locked when you’re not in it so kids don’t get in on their own.
C: Create reminders by putting something in the back of your car next to your child such as a briefcase, a purse or a cell phone that is needed at your final destination. This is especially important if you’re not following your normal routine.
T: Take action. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. Emergency personnel want you to call. They are trained to respond to these situations. One call could save a life.

Its Been a long time

My favorite holiday past so I have to post some pictures.  Because this year I actually got to see a parade and fireworks!!

   Jamie enjoying the parade

My favorite the horses!!!

That day was great!  Wish mom was up for going to the parade but hopefully next year!! By the way she is cancer FREE!!  We went out to eat for the first time for her birthday/mothers day!! she was so excited.  The restaurant we went to even sang happy birthday to her and then announced she was CANCER FREE!! yahhhh!!

 

So I feel like I have gotten disappointed lately in a lot of peoples behavior.  Jamie is doing each day with hers :) which makes us happy.  She is learning that if she doesn't act right than things get taken away!  She still has her moments but don't we all!  However Brian's middle daughter has always seemed very close to me but lately has been giving me major attitude especially when I am texting her which I try not to text her anymore because I don't want to deal with the attitude.   I have told her this is NOT the way we will be raising Jamie and do want to deal with it. She just laughs it off.  I know that age and dealing with her parents being divorced is a lot however I don't think an attitude is necessary.  Brian really never hears it or sees it because its like she only does it around me.  We are drilling in Jamie's head that it is yes not yeap or no not nope, please and thank you each and every time.

Also, Brian's middle daughter is starting Cheerleading which I can't stand.  I think it makes teenage girls grow up to fast and be a follow and not a strong women leader.
oh well not much I can do expect raise my child as a STRONG women and a nice and considerated women.

 

I have read a few books.  Right now I am reading "First Family" by David Baldacci.

Very good!!

 

Book Review/Winter

Not sure what book this is for the year but I know it is nothing compared to some of the blogs I read like Book Hooked Blog. I can't believe all the books she reads. I have hardly have time to read 1 page a day. 
So the book I just finished was a very quick read and I read it over a long weekend time frame.

 

Very good! Great story and very easy to get into.  I feel like it teaches you about life and so precious it is and you never know when you can help someone else out. Great book to read around Christmas.

 

 

Also, since I wrote late time Jamie has gotten so BIG!!! 2 1/2 years old and talking up a storm asking what everything is. What that mommy. Mommy what is that. sometimes she is so funny and sometimes she is Hard headed!!!



 In October we went to Disney it was so much fun....This is us riding Dumbo.

Meeting Mickey!!! We did a lot in the 4 days we were down there...The bad news is that we lost Baby Bear :( I wasn't a happy camper and Jamie has only asked about her about 5 times.. I am just sad we lost her first bear. At least she still has her blanket. I just can't imagine were we lost it at. So sad!! :(
We went and cut down our Christmas tree and this year it was actually COLD!!!
Can't believe its almost 2014 that is so hard to believe!!!

 

 



 

Beach and Book Review

We went to Tybee Island this past weekend for our anniversary and it was a lot of fun.  I can't believe its been three years!!! What an amazing adventure we have had so far. What an amazing child we have!! We drove down on Thursday afternoon and stayed until Sunday.  Jamie loved playing in the sand and building sand castles with her daddy!!! We ate at lady and sons (Paula Deens) on Friday night and it was yummie!!! The beach was VERY crowed on Saturday!!!

I just got finished reading the "Lucky One" By Nicholas Sparks.
His new book is coming out next week and I am so excited I had to read this one since I hadn't read it yet.

Brian bought me the movie at Christmas time last year but I refused to watch it I said I wanted to read the book first.
What amazing writer Sparks is.  I am amazed every time I read one of his books. 
I am SO glad the ending happened the way it did I would have been upset if it ended any other way.
GREAT BOOK
I loved Elizabeth and Logan's character now I can't wait to watch the movie

Book Review

"Where the River Runs"

Written By: Patti Henry

I picked up this book at a library sale on the last day and I am SO glad that I picked it up.  I just read the back two sentences of the cover and thought I think I would like this book and just threw it in my bag.  When I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and started reading it.  I got pulled in very fast.  I felt like I knew the characters so well like she could of been my friend or sister going through this.  Plus the coolest part it was based here in Atlanta and other parts in South GA.  I didn't know that when I picked the book up.  It was kind of a short book but I was so please and happy that I got to read it.  I would encourage anyone to read this book.  I think I might be looking for more of Patti Henry's books.

Merry Christmas in JULY

Yesterday Jamie had beach school pictures and here is a preview of 1 of them.  They took 6 and it was so hard choosing 1 but I think this one is my favorite one.  We are going to get 2 different pictures.

She is really starting to become her own little person.  Potty training is not going like I thought it would.  She tells you that she needs to potty but just sits there and does nothing. Everyone says it will come give her time. When she goes to sleep she takes everything in her room and tries to put it in her bed.  Its hard not to laugh at her when you go in there because she 2 puzzles, A LOT of books,  stuffed animals her blanket, her pillow its just a lot of stuff.....

So my mom just called with her inner BITCH quote of the day

" You cross a PMS with a GPS you got a moody bitch who will hunt you down"

LOL....I laughed so hard!!!

4th of July

 My favorite holiday of the whole YEAR and it rains the whole day and weekend!! :(

Totally bummed.  Brian did try to put on a parade for me.  Which of course cheered me up!!! But I was bummed because Jamie didn't get to see fireworks or go to any parade.  Brian also had to have eye surgery the week before 4th of July so that didn't help either.  He had a torn retina and had to get a gas bubble put in his eye so the tear would heal.  It was very weird. He had to keep his head down for a whole week. The only time he could look up was to eat or go to the bathroom. It was a weird weekend.  But he is doing much better now and has been on light duty since Monday. So that has been nice to have him here in the building with me!  

I have read two books since my last post of books.  I read The Orphan Sister by Gwendolen Gross.  It was a book I just picked up a book store because it was like $2.99 and it looked good.  Well I really didn't like it.  The story is very weird and I don't like all the mid-thought from the past when the current event's where happening. I skipped a couple of chapters because I was more interested in the current events than the past events in her life. Glad I read it but I don't think i would recommend it to anyone.

The other book I read was Paula Deens Autobiographer. What an excellent book.  I would recommend this book to anyone.  Her life story explains why she is the way she is...I think she is completely getting the shaft right now. I support her 110%

Jamie has finally started saying her name.  I think she knew the whole time she just likes playing games.  She love reading and playing outside but since its been raining like everyday for the past two week she hasn't been able to go outside lately. She is saying so many words and sentences its almost like your having a conversation with her.  Growing up so much!
