It Matters...To Me Anyway

Maybe I just didn't notice four years ago.  After all we had a two and three year old.  But this year it makes me sad that so many people have turned this election personal.  Lee has an uncle who says that anybody who votes for Romney just is dumb and not paying attention to the facts. My father in law said those people voting for Obama have been fooled.  Really?  I did my research and I am either dumb nor fooled.  I get to vote MY concionous.  MINE!!! I am worried about the future of this country just like everybody else.  ( Well not everybody but that is a whole different post)I am worried about the country my grandchildren will in.  I assume I will have at least two of those but who knows.  

I had a coworker post that she is voting for Romney because she is voting for somebody who cares about this country.  Ummm...okay.  Obama cares he just does things different then you think.  

Here is my take.  I truly think that we are given the choice of two GOOD men. Neither one of them have been accused of cheating on their wives.  I saw interviews with both of them and they both spoke so highly of their wives and children.  These are family men.  Do I want one of them to win more then the other?  YES!!!  Am I moving to Canada if the other one wins?  NO!!!  Why? Because I believe in this country I believe in the goodness.  These are not perfect men not by a long shot but these are men who want what is best for this country they just have different opinions on how and what that is. 

If Romney is elected then I think we will see something different then what he has promised.  Not because he is a liar but because he doesn't know what he is getting into.  It is like being a parent, you never really know what it is like until you are there and then it is just too late to back out.:)

Soon enough we will know!

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding. There
