Are we the ones who will listen?
Hey Gang, I wouldn't normally use this blog for this.. BUT I was so moved that I just KNEW I had to do something and to be honest I trust you girlies and have great hope that you'll feel like I do.
I don't know if any of you caught ABC News's report on the Pomona, CA high school students who's teacher produced a video titled "Is anybody listening" See it here for some reason I couldn't get it to upload
It's heart breaking! And to add to the sadness I bet there are thousands of kids feeling the same way all over the country these days. I was especially touched by Chris. Maybe because he is around my oldest son's age. Or the fact that he cares so deeply for his siblings (one of whom has downs syndrome). Or that he let all the bravado of a teen aged boy drop and cried from his heart without reservation. I was touched by them all but even as I write here Chris's eyes come to mind and I still tear up.
I've been put in contact with his teacher and the school principle. I'd like to do something for this family and Mr.Steinman assures me that he'll personally make sure Chris and his family get whatever I can send them. I can't do much by myself but I think maybe if we brainstorm we might be able to do more together. Now I understand that times are hard and asking for donations is hard to. There is also that distrust that what you give will go where it is needed. I have those fears too. But I can't let the fear win this time. Oh, it helps that my brother is a police detective in CA and assures me he can check everybody out (the cynic in me lives!).
Now I don't know what I'm gonna do BUT I DO KNOW you are a creative and caring bunch and you'll give me some ideas.. right now that's all I'm asking. So let me know, what do you think? am I crazy, just a sap? Should I send a money order or things like Target cards? I plan to send a copy of the book I'm writing about saving money (think how to for a Woo Hoo box of your own).
Thanks for letting me reach out and for being the best bunch of total strangers, sitting anonymously behind computer monitors, in cities far away... that I've ever "known"!

I am back!
Hi Ladies!
Back from the Fishful Thinking Symposium in NY... it was INCREDIBLE.
Mamarazzi is also on the panel of 10, and it was so great to meet her... she as is fun and bright IRL as you would've expected.
If any of you really think the Fishful Thinking message is important, you might consider being an ambassador. They want a community of moms who will have a space to communicate on the site and spread the word. Let me know if you are interested. {While these positions are not compensated, they are going to be doing giveaways. If you are interested in being noticed by PR firms, it couldn't hurt to be seen on the portal either.}
SITS is now on twitter SITSGirls, so follow us if you aren't as I will twitter about welcomistas.
Now on to the newbies....
The Kent Chronicles
Smalls
Thoughts by Dena
Flitter Flatters
De-Composition
Sugar on Top
Browning Dirt
A Simple Kind of Life
Sogkonnite Living
Vegetarian Mama
Sex Education's Perfect Example
Love, Laughter and Lyrics
Funky Bag Freak
Francesca asked if you guys should "re-visit" the newbies... totally your choice.
Heather and I are increasing the responses we give to comments, as we want to be very accessible as the audience grows.
There are more newbies from last week, and even more will join on Tuesday, so I will post again on Wed.

SIWENBE {scramblered}
Hi Girls!
I want to get an accurate account of who is actually participating regularly, as Heather and I want to make sure we get you guys get preferential treatment in all things SITS.
So, please comment below, just letting me know that you do indeed come by and please let me know if your blog HAS NOT been featured yet. Also please include if you are seriously considering the cruise we mentioned. {It will be out of Long Beach, CA in March 2010 and the price with taxes, fees and gratuities will be around $350. Carnival is throwing in $25 per person shipboard credit and a cocktail party for our group}.
Onto the new blogs- it's a lot, but we are getting behind... visit what you can, no pressure.
Thanks, Chicas!
Tiffany
