Sarah Palin in Fort Wayne - tld

It was a great rally!

A plea to my fellow bloggers

The tides worked against me yesterday, and inspite of my best efforts, phone calls and emails, I failed to obtain a ticket to see Sarah in Fort Wayne on Saturday. Originally I needed 4 to take my daughter and my parents, then I just needed two, for my daughter and I, and now, she doesn't care if she goes or not, so if anyone has just one ticket they could spare, well, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sarah Coming to Fort Wayne

According to the Journal Gazette Sarah Palin will be in Fort Wayne this Saturday. It is my intent to get tickets and get there and see what she has to say.

Visions of pink and white....

Today I planted my flower bulbs out around my deck. I have visions of pink and white tulips and pink and white daffodils dancing in my head for next spring! I can't wait, I am already ready for next spring and summer, I have plans of it being the year that I create some really pretty flower gardens. I have not had the patience or desire in the past few years to mess with outside flowers but I did more this past year and guess what? I found it to be therapeutic. Maybe its just what I need!

A 9 yr old's point of view

My little guy and I had an interesting conversation last evening. His two older siblings had other plans for the evening so it left just he and I to hang out. We were driving into town and out of the clear blue he says to me,

"Mom, if Obama wins I think a lot of people are going to move out of country and we are going to end up having no money." Huh? Where did that come from? Of course I had to probe into that statement, because, believe it or not, at this point I had no political discussions with him, I have been too focused on figuring things out myself and trying to understand where my daughter is coming from.

So my youngest son goes on to tell me if he works really hard and makes $1000 a day, he is going to end up with only about $200 for all of his hard work while four other people who did nothing all day end up with the same amount. (Did I mention this kid is 9 years old?)

He went on to say, in his words..."the whole plan is gay". Now I wasn't too crazy about his choice of words, but nonetheless, he gets it. He said, "Mom I want to be rich someday, I want to work hard and have nice things, I will just have to go live somewhere else, why would I want to live here?" (Is the air sucked out of your lungs yet?)

The greatest country on earth, so let's change it???

This whole conversation with my son hit home harder last night when I read this post .

This is what I hear when I really listen to Obama

As I listened to the political debate last night, when I truly tuned in and listened to Obama, I heard him very eloquently tell me in the future I am going to work my ass off and give everything I have equally to everyone else, including the ones who do nothing. Where is the American dream in this? What is the point in having a dream and following it only to give it to everyone???

Communism
A system of government in which the state plans and controls the
economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to
make
progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally
shared by
the people. American Heritage Dictionary

I am sorry folks, but there it is, plain and simple. You elect a Democrat President with congress being controlled by the Democrats and we can all watch our dreams go down the toliet. Because like it or not, someone is going to be paying for all of the free stuff somewhere, and its going to be the working folks!

Halloween is going to stink this year!

OUCH!

Two summers ago I was rearranging furniture in my bedroom and went to move one of the white recliners and ran over my big toe with it. I peeled back most of the toenail, had blood every, got woozy and the whole nine yards. I resorted to calling my sister bawling my eyes out and she advised me to go to my mom's and have her bandage it up for me. So I went to Mom's crying and carrying on like a two year old and it took her and my stepdad to settle me down and get me all bandaged up. This was at the beginning of the summer and I hobbled for days and wore flip flops the entire summer. I think it was sometime in August when the nail finally fell off and it was almost an entire year before it grew back in. I was convinced that it wasn't going to grow back in at all. So, why I am I telling you this story now? Well....

Just a little bit ago, I was moving furniture in my bedroom again, moving the recliner again, and guess what I did again? Yeppers! Same toe even. This time I didn't call my mom or my sister. Instead I called my son on his cell phone, he was all the way upstairs in his room you see, and there was no way I was going up the stairs, what with the bloody mess and all...

Let's just smile today.

FOUR THINGS YOU CANNOT RECOVER

Author Unknown, but I thought it was definitely something to ponder.

Ho Hum Blues

I have been laying low and dealing with the ho hum blues.

I met with my attorney Monday morning to work on our plan of defense in the child custody dispute. As we were finalizing our plan, there was a knock on the door, the morning mail had arrived with a letter regarding my case. The last appointed judge has withdrawn from our case.

My ex filed a motion for a new judge, a new judge was appointed and he withdrew from the case....and the other two have followed suit. Now we have to wait for a new panel of judges to be presented and we are going to go out of county. Do you see my attorney fees going up and up and up?

Not to mention, this whole case has been taking a toll on all of us and now we are in limbo for who knows how long.

Ok. Thats my report from never never land.
