Passing the health bill

Yikes. I hope the Nov. election shows the president how we really feel about this bill. And, I hope the general public realizes that much of the bill won't be in effect until after election time because it's a front loaded bill (including a few positive effects to come about soon and all the adverse effects later). Sneaky I say, and shiesty.

Procrastination at it's best

Well, I am in a rambling mood. So, I thought I would tell you how I seem to find time to look at blogs when I should be busy. Tonight, I should be packing for a fun family outing and cleaning up. That means I am looking at blogs I haven't seen for a month or two. It's almost an overload reaction to not do any of it. My mom always told me to just get started and then you'll be fine. I really am that way with most jobs; if I can just get started I get in the zone and am pretty amazing. Why is getting started so hard? I really don't know. It's even worse when I feel I am intelligent enough to know what I am doing is unproductive at the most unideal time. So, if any of that made sense you are a real trooper for still reading this. I'll veer off a little to talk about you. I love reading your blogs. Even when I don't post I like to see what's up with everyone. You are inspiring at what you do. I love the mom's who help me feel more normal. It's refreshing sometimes to hear about your spills and messes and your smile at the end of it all. Truly the ordinary day is wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to share. Here are a few comments to your blogs that I should write there, but I was skimming tonight and will put these random thoughts here. 1. I too am a grown woman who doesn't know how to apply eye makeup correctly (feel free to give me a lesson next time you see me-although I most likely will never wear any) 2. My kids have broken stuff like that, been there...sorry 3. Hobbies are essential--you're awesome for going for yours, and inspiring to me to do more of the things I love 4. I love great recipes and am trying to push spring into gear 5. There are angels in my house too, and I love it 6. I love my cousins...I wish I could bottle them up and carry them around for a smile, hug, laugh or whatever I need. I just don't see them often enough 7. Justin, how did you land such a great girl? Oh, I know--you're awesome. 8. Moving is soooo hard, esp. when there are so many unknowns. You're great to find the good when I'm sure there's plenty to gripe about. 9. Aren't we soooo lucky to have married great guys?!! 10. Moments like your little guy falling asleep during prayers are the moments I try and freeze and hold onto. I love them so much. Kids are so dang adorable, it's hard not to have your heart melt when they so innocently are perfect. Well, love you all and I better go listen to the good advice I've been given--just get up and get going.
