oh and btw if its in parenthesis its supposed to be in italics
HERE IT IS:
PREFACE:
I push my legs faster. They can’t find me. I won’t let them. (You run fast Sarena, but not that fast. You cant outrun them. And you know it.) Of course I knew it. They had cars and I only had my two feet and a ten pound backpack slowing me down. I was exhausted, but I knew I couldn’t stop now. I had to get of town first. (That won’t be too hard, being as we live in Colusa, one of the smallest in California.) It was true. This town had only a 1.7 square mile area. I could easily be out in seven short minutes. If I didn’t have my backpack that is. Now it would take longer. (You shouldn’t have started sprinting first dumbass.)
I kept running, keeping alert at all times. If anybody saw me they’d tell Sharon. I knew it. They wouldn’t do it to hurt me of course, they just think I was going crazy again. Not that I ever had, but on many accounts I had tried to escape my mother’s grasp and failed. And the next day when everyone was asking what happened, Mother would simply say, “Oh Sarena was just having one of those days again, but she’s fine now.“ She had always found me. Always. But not this time. I won’t let her.
(I hear something. Quick! Hide!) I looked around. There was nowhere to hide, no bushes, no trees, nothing. (I know where you can hide, and so do you.) No. I wasn’t going to hide in there. I’d almost rather be caught. (It’s a car, and its coming closer. I can see the headlights. You have to Sarena. There’s no other option besides getting caught, and as far as I’m concerned that’s not an option anymore.) I realized she was right. Where else was I supposed to hide?
So I crept through the shadows until I was right in front of it. I opened the lid and a gush of malodorous air blew in my face. (Don’t think about it. Just do it. Hurry!! They’re getting closer!) So I plugged my nose and jumped in. I heard squishing and crunching, but I ignored it. If I got out or made too much noise I’d be back in Mother’s grasp yet again. And that was not going to happen. I put my hand down and it landed in something cold and lumpy. I picked up my hand and smelled it. Rotten milk. Perfect. It could have been worse and least it wasn’t dirty baby diaper. Before I knew it the car was gone and I was finally free to climb out of the dumpster.
I kept my vigilance up, constantly looking for cars, or nearby people. I was out of the neighborhood area of the town, and since it was past midnight, I may as well been out of town already. I had one last errand to run before I could truly be out town though. All the stores were closed and nobody was outside. It was like the town wasn’t even there. I snuck behind the town’s Taco Bell and checked for boxes of the that had been mistakenly, and miraculously, left out at night. But, of course there wasn’t. Luck just wasn’t my thing. Now that I knew for a fact that the only food I had was what I managed to take from the fridge at home I ran and ran, until I knew the small town of Colusa was far behind me.
Chapter 1:Free
“Mommy?” I ask, “Why are you crying? Are you mad at me?”
“No.” She says, “I’m not mad at you Sarena.”
“Then how come you won’t tell me?”
I had needed my birth certificate to transfer to a new school, but when mommy had told me to look for it, I didn’t find mine; I found somebody else‘s. My twin sister‘s. Sabrena Rasmussen’s. I didn’t even know I had a sister. I was an only child after all. How could I have a sister? I was confused so I asked Mommy. Instead of answering she started to cry. Had I upset her? What had I done?
“I’m sorry Mommy.”
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault you were just curious. I would be too. So, do you want to hear the story of your little baby sister?”
“Yes. I do”
“Well, for nine months your daddy and I waited for you two to come. About five months into my pregnancy the doctor said I was having twins. I was so happy. I didn’t want to wait 3 more months for you two. So when three months later came I was overjoyed. But something went wrong. When you were in the womb, Sabrena died. Your umbilical cord was wrapped around her throat. She had suffocated. My life was over.”
Mommy was tearing up now, her face was bright red as a single tear fell down her cheek. But right now I didn’t care. Was that who was constantly in my head? The unknown girl that could have been so close to me, but I killed? Was that why she was bugging me? Was I a murder?
“Mommy? Is it my fault Sabrena died?”
I woke with a start.

ALL of Asda’s own brand baby bottles are BPA free…the really cheap ones that they sell…I think they’re about 1.50 for three! I’ve been ordering glass ones off the internet and it was costing me almost £20.00 for three including postage! Asda dont make a big deal of it on the packaging…it just says “BPS free” in really small writing…plus I never would have bought those cheap ones if I hadn’t know they were BPA free…did you know this?

Thank you for qualifying your question! Your question screams of prejudice, but I am glad that you are….not anti-semitic, nor anti-Israel(!)
For you and other ignorant people, the U.S. gives support to many countries around the world. We don’t give support for nothing. We get a lot back, especially from Israel, which is the only true democracy in the Middle East, and a true ally of the U.S.
For those who address how much money we give Israel, you would show a great deal of fairness, even mindedness, and unbiassness if you were to address the fact that the U.S. gives tens of billions of dollars per year to Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations, the vast majority which are dictatorial regimes and have a substantial segment that is brewing Islamofascism and rais their children to hate America, hate Israel, hate the Western world, hate non-Muslims.
For those who believe that the extremist element in Islam is small, the numbers are staggering. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in this world. Lets take a very liberal view that only a very small percentage of Muslims are exterme, while the rest of the Muslim world is very peaceful. So if only 10% of Muslims have extreme point of views, and may be a threat, and must be dealt with, meaning dealing with 120 million Muslims! How about 1%? Then you must deal with 12 million Muslims. How about 1/10 of a percent? Then you must deal with 1.2 million Muslims. The numbers are staggering! How do you propose dealing with even the “very low” figures of 1.2 million Muslim extremists?
Israel, a small country made up of 6 million people, is a technology hub that has more patents than China, Japan, and Europe combined! Many of these advances are shared with the U.S. I am willing to bet you that you are using an Israeli invention right now.
Aside from a practical reason to help Israel, there are those who believe in the biblical importance of Israel, and maintaining a Jewish homeland as was available centuries before Muhammed wore his diapers.
There multitude of other reasons why support Israel is important, but to think that the support is given for free is absurd, and shows poor education and thinking skills.
As for your last comment, Israel would exist no matter what, as it did thousands of years ago in the Kingdom of Israel, and Kingdom of Judea, which were countries long before Muhammed rode his tricycle.
Your bias and prejudice is blinding your judgement and reality. But I’ve seen it before. Shameful!

Everyone is most likely well aware that given our current economy, things are pretty bad financially for lots of people. Loss of jobs, loss of income, loss of homes, etc. People are struggling and we’re all looking for a little break here and there.
I was thinking of having a garage sale because I have tons of baby boy stuff from when my son was born. Last garage sale I had for my baby items, I walked out with $200. I was pretty pleased!! Anything extra to help with the bills.
Now my son has more clothes, more baby items, and my sister moved so she gave me all her baby stuff she had bought for my son. All of which I’d like to sell to make some extra money.
The problem is that my neighbor is pregnant and having a boy, she saw all my stuff in my garage and mentioned wanting to take a look at some stuff. A piece of me wants to help out because we’re all in that same boat, but another piece of me doesn’t want to because WE need the money from all these items, because we’re all in the same financial boat. Another reason, is that she told me she was getting a brand new crib, a brand new stroller and car seat, and diapers galore for FREE from some pregnancy center that helps single Mom’s that have no insurance or low incomes. She works and so does her boyfriend. I work and so does my husband.
I don’t know, I’m always the type to offer what I can, but I feel guilty in doing so right now. But on the flip side, I shouldn’t because EVERYONE struggles right now.
I’m really torn here. I’m looking for other opinions. What would you do in this situation? Would you give it up for free or continue with your garage sale??
Thank you for your responses!

I just don’t want to get scammed and end up with “fake” fuzzi bunz.
Does this look for real to you?http://cgi.ebay.com/12-Fuzzi-Bunz-Diaper…
**Also, for a larger baby (a 12 month old who weighs 30 lbs) would fuzzi bunz or bum genius work better??
Thanks!
