Try It Tuesday - with a twist!

Today, i encourage all of you to try to become better informed about what is going on in your city/state/national government. Here are some suggested places you could start:

Find out how homosexuals are trying to take away a Christian's right to religious freedom at http://www.afa.net/hatecrimes_20090615.html

Find out how Planned Parenthood is trying to convince the nation they are providing a public service at http://www.traditionalvalues.org/pdf_files/TVCSpecialRptPlannedParenthood.pdf and http://www.blackgenocide.org/sanger.html

Find out how President Obama is trying to take away a person's responsibility to provide for himself/herself at http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2009/02/hello-socialized-medicine.html

Find out how the government is trying to take away your rights as a parent at http://www.parentalrights.org/

Our "culture" has been trying to tell you "They" know what is best for your child, but as we have let them take more and more responsibility away from us parents, as we have let them condition us that sexuality and drug use are normal and natural and "kids will be kids," here is the fruit of "Their" labor:

~ "More than 700,000 teenagers in the United States will become pregnant this year alone, and half of all sexually active people will have a sexually transmitted infection by age 25." (hmm, great job, Culture)

~ "United States has the highest levels of teen pregnancy among developed nations." (oh, yeah, way to go, Society)

~ "Underage drinking costs the United States more than $58 billion every year." (umm, National Debt, anyone?)

~ "Ten percent of teens report that they have attended a rave, and ecstasy and other drugs were available at more than two-thirds of these raves." (but, let's just let our kids have fun, right? and the people who operate the raves have rights, too... right?)

~ "More than 60 percent of teens said that drugs were sold, used, or kept at their school." (but schools are safe. sure.)

~ "Teenagers whose parents talk to them on a regular basis about the dangers of drug use are 42 percent less likely to use drugs than those whose parents don’t." (but let's take away parental rights because the government does a much better job)

~ "Alcohol kills 6 ½ times more teenagers than all other illicit drugs combined." (but, ya know, at least they aren't getting high, right?)

Try to wake up today. Try to put on your Grown Up Hat. And try to find out what is really happening out there.

Be informed.
Be Blessed.

Field Trip to the Nashville Zoo!

Did anyone watch the weather for Middle Tennessee today? No? Well, let me tell you about our field trip to the zoo! We arrived to discover that almost every other school group of pre-kindergarten through second grade children decided to go to the zoo today! Our first view of the zoo was of the PACKED parking lot, to the side of which we saw two things: more than a dozen big, yellow school buses; and so many groups of children gathering before the entrance that the entryway was concealed from view! After delving into the fray, we parked our minivan and headed up to find our group. (Let me interject here that my children and I had created matching shirts to help us stay together and identify each other should we become lost. This was more wise than even we knew when we decided to make them! Luckily, no other school group had quite our shade of sunshine yellow, so we were good to go!!) Okay, into the zoo we go! The kids are excited! The animals are awesome! And, the rain is begin

Weary of Winter

Last summer, we began a tedious journey through a difficult season in our lives: family trials coupled with unprecedented numbers of illnesses in our home have just about driven me batty.  So, after a frayed rotator cuff in my right arm (why i don't blog as often anymore), the discovery of a couple of possible learning disabilities in my kiddos (not covered by our insurance, naturally, so we're on our own), two stomach viruses (TWO!!), possible RSV that led to pneumonia (myself and the Littlest Princess), bronchitis (hubby), and an ear infection (the Man-Child)... i was deeply touched to be sent the " Stylish Blogger Award " by a friend from my reviewing days on The Old Schoolhouse Magazine's Homeschool Crew !  Wow! I needed that reminder that there is life out there and i used to be a part of it!! Thank you, Heather!! :^) Check out her awesome site at http://faithfamilyandfun.com/ I don't know how she does it, but there is always something new and inspirin

Perimenopause: What to Expect that You are NOT Expecting

Perimenopause: What to expect that you're NOT expecting. Chapter 1: The Hot (Fire) Flash (Surge) The fan must be on. In every room. And you are now Mr. Rogers. You have a sweater for every outfit. However, you live in tanks and short-sleeved shirts underneath because nakedness is frowned upon in public places and you must disrobe in haste, frequently. The socially-encouraged bondage device, a.k.a. the bra, is more despised than ever. Fuzzy socks are your friend, because your circulation is poor and your skin is dry. You will end up with a pair in every room because you inevitably needed them off for extended periods and wandered away from them, only to need them again in another room. Winter weather is both bone-chillingly cold and a delight to overheated skin. Sometimes simultaneously. Summer is intolerable. Do not get me started on having a fever while experiencing a hot flash. 😳 And while we're mentioning it.... "Hot Flash" is not an adequate phrase for the rush o
