Interesting Times

Economy better? They say it is, I think otherwise. Brandon is still without a job, not looking like they are going to call him back. Mike is down to 4 days a week now until at least November.

I AM SO FRUSTRATED with our "Leadership" of this country. I DID NOT vote for him then, I sure wouldn't vote for him in the future. Most of the people I talk to didn't vote for him. How in the heck did he get elected? He scares the living daylights out of me. It seems to be his way or his way. It seems not to matter what the people have to say. He has so many people that I feel that is following him blindly just because he "represents" change. If this is change I want no part in it. I have to accept what is happening but I sure in the heck ain't happy about it. (I know I have bad grammar but I'm 46 and I can talk the way I want. lol).

Sure the car makers are doing better but I bet you as soon as they quit giving the cash for clunkers away things will go back down hill and will be worse than when they started. These folks who have gotten their new cars and then loose their jobs, what will they do then? He will probably bail them out just like he is the ones who have to have the fancy houses that they can not afford. Mean while I sit here with a car that is broken down that we haven't had the money to fix and have no idea when we will be able to afford it. Sure I would love to have the free money and get a new car where I can go get groceries, got to the doctor and just putter around in when I feel like it. But I know that I cannot afford the payments and that we are lucky that Mike is still getting 4 days a week. If it weren't for Brandon pitching in we would be drowning worse than we are now.

AAAUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! I feel a little better now. Thanks for letting me vent.

Today Is a New Day

Or.... it was. This is one of those days that I really don't feel well. I move as the spirit moves me as the old saying goes. It is already afternoon. I haven't accomplished that much today. I realize that everyone has their off days and this is definitely mine. I guess everyone deserves a day off every once in a while. I will still do my have to's but that is all.

Tomorrow evening is Danville Baptist's block party. I have been to two so far and I have enjoyed each one of them. Those folks are always so polite even when their guest are not so polite. I know that they have to be "prayed up for patience" and have Jesus in their hearts to be civil sometimes. I always say thank you to folks anyway but I especially tell them how much I appreciate what they are doing and how much fun I have had. It starts at 6 pm so everyone is welcome and please come on out!

I will try to post some pics soon.

Fish of my own to Fry

When I took Mags out for a walk this morning a beautiful sight awaited me. The moon was full up in the sky with several large rings of light around it. I wanted to take a picture of it so I could always keep it but Mike's camera got the moon but not the ring. I will just have to keep the picture of it in my photo album in my mind.

Made a very early morning trip to Wal-Mart this morning. I had to buy men socks of all things. Trying to make a long story short, my house must be haunted. Mike's socks mysteriously disappear. I realized last night that Mike didn't have any clean socks even though the day before I had washed all the dirty clothes. So, I washed the pair he had worn that day but as usual I forgot to hang them up to dry. (My dryer keeps trying to catch on fire every time I try to dry anything so I have no power going to it right now). So here I am at 5 am on my way to town. Fog was awful this morning so it was a fairly slow go. I had forgotten dog food, garbage bags yesterday plus Mike wanted some things so it wasn't as if I didn't need to go anyway. I just wouldn't have chosen to go that early. The good thing is he has 6 pair of new socks now. : )

We didn't work on the fence this morning since Nathaniel didn't feel well, and Brandon was so tired. No biggie for me because I have fish to fry on my own. I do need to make time to go and weed eat the grass in momma's ditch bank. Did I mention that I HATE to weed eat. Momma told me not to worry about it but I told her right quick not to say that because I wouldn't get around to doing it. I noticed she didn't repeat it. lol.

Oh well off to do my fish frying now......
