Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baseball season is over in this house for a little while. Now I have the good fortune of taking my oldest to the high school to lift weights. He's determined to play football. That's okay. I think it will be good for him. He needs something that will keep him active. He's too addicted to computers and games that an active sport like football will do him a lot of good. Plus, we're thinking of letting our youngest play fallball and for those of you that don't know what that is, it's baseball in the fall. If you want to know why, have you seen the movie The Rookie with Dennis Quaid? The part where he asks what they get to do today and replies "We get to play baseball!". That is Marcus's attitude about it as well. And I know I fuss about them playing some, but I really am proud of both of them. For example: during Devin's last game, he finally hit the ball like we've been telling him he could. He actually got mad enough to try and knock the ball into next week. Of course, he didn't stay mad long, he never does but it sure was a good hit.

Anyway, I'm going to go for now. I hope you have a great day.

God Bless.

I hope you see this coming...

If things continue the way they have been, America will become a 3rd world nation, ecomically speaking. There are fewer jobs, we aren't buying hardly any American made products, even our food is from some other nation. How are we supposed to support ourselves when everything is from somewhere else? Because of gas prices, people are having to close more businesses. 9 times out of 10, if you call customer service, you are talking to someone that is not in the US. I just saw where GM is closing more plants. What are these people going to do to pay their bills? How are they going to buy food to put on the table?

I honestly believe that as long as our politicians get their money, they could care less about us. Look at gas prices. How many politicians have their hand in that cookie far and are getting richer while we're struggling just to make ends meet. There may be a few that are trying to do what is in out best interest but most of there are only taking care of themselves. If you know of one that isn't, prove it to me. Show me how they are trying to put us first instead of their pocket book. I'm more than willing to say I was wrong. I have no problem with that.

How about that smoking issue. How many of you feel as if you're getting the shaft? We're getting taxed without any proper representation. Isn't that what we fought the American Revolution over, taxation without representation? It's called descrimination! If I knew how to go about it, I would sue these policy makers for that very reason. I understand some places should be non-smoking, I have no problem with that. But, to tell me that I can smoke in my car while in a parking lot? That's just wrong!

The government is getting too involved in my personal life. I can't spank my children without worriing about someone calling DHR, notice I did not say beat, I mean a spanking. Sometimes children need a swat upside the butt to make a point. There is a big difference between spankings and beatings! A spanking does not leave bruises. A spanking is only used to prove a point. When you have told your children no for the 15th time, they need a swat to show that you meant NO. I do not like watching children talk back to their parents or treating parents as if they are stupid or pitch a fit if they don't get what they want (I'm not talking about a little bit of fussing, I'm talking about lay on the floor, screaming, calling their parents all kinds of names). I've seen this happen at different stores. If my children ever did that to me, I will give them a spanking, I don't care who sees me do that. I love my children. I do not like to spank them, but I will if I feel the situation calls for it.

I hope you have a great day. May God be with you always.
