Miss M Lately...

There hasn't been a whole lot going on really. I have to sit down and download my pictures that I took while in Disneyland. My mom came up with the great idea of making a scrap book for all the pics or most of them anyways. I have never really scrapbooked before, it's fun. I'm sure it would be a pain in the ass if you weren't very creative though. Anthony and Olivia have been quite busy with school and some church activities. Cisco has been working a whole lot and so have I. I am not working the other job any longer so now I have time to do little things around the house, like move the living room around and tear up carpet in the den, which I will be doing tomorrow. That should be great fun. Not looking forward to Christmas this year, but what else is new. Thanks to the economy my children will really be able to appreciate their gifts ( which they usually do and don't ever complain) but I wonder what will happen still. We told them that due to the current economic crisis Santa won't be supplying that much this year, he had to ask the government for a loan. The kids looked at me like I was crazy. So I promise that soon I will post some precious photos of my chidrens.

Proud To Be A Witness..

...to history. I am so proud to be able to say I watched as history was made on November 4, 2008. I will always remember that I was sitting in my living room watching and felt an enormous sense of awe as Obama gave his speech. I think this election was particularly important because our country is in such bad shape and I do not think that John McCain had a lot going for him because of that. Bush turned this country upside down and it is a real shame. Obama was right when he said it's going to be tough but things will get back on track. I am so glad to see that our country is not going to be run by Republicans for another 4 years. I think we now have a real chance to make things right. To all my friends who say they are moving to Canada I only have this to say, hope you send a post card.

It just baffles me to hear people say how good Bush did, or that this cannot all be blamed on him. Uh, someone drank the tainted punch. I just don't know how someone can look me in the face and say that things aren't as bad as everyone has put them out to be. Uh, yeah they are. I don't think that before this year I had ever seen one house that was being auctioned off, let alone 5 or 6 in one neighborhood alone. We are now in a recession regardless of what others may believe and what's worse is that we were led into a war under false pretenses and we as a country have had to suffer because of it. It's a real shame, but hopefully the end of embarrassment is near.

I did not only vote for the Obama / Biden ticket because I'm a Democrat, but because I was not about to have another idiot near the White House and yes I mean Sarah Palin. When considering things a sad but very real thought ran through my head. If something should happen to Obama could I as an American trust Biden to be our President, and the answer was yes. Now when I asked myself the same question with McCain I did not get the same answer. I was down right scared at the thought of this woman from Alaska of all places becoming our next president, should McCain die. I mean the woman didn't even know what the VP's role is with the Senate...come on.

I am at peace now knowing that we as a nation have a very real chance of getting out of this mess that Bush got us into and it will be a wonderful thing when we do start to see some real CHANGE.
