This day will be historic!
Early this morning I called my mom and she told me the incredible news: "John McCain picked his running mate and its a woman from Alaska and she is Awesome!" I couldn't believe how excited I was to come home and meet this woman via the tv news and see who she was. The beauty of this is that no one saw it coming and she rocks! My first impression of Governor Sarah Palin is that she ran for previous office because she honestly wanted to help the people of Alaska. Her first position: PTA president for her child's school. No one runs for that position thinking that someday they will be the vice president......right? Another thing that impresses me is that she is a mother of 5 children (she knows my world and the world's of many other mothers); she is practical (eloped to save money, and sold the state jet to save money) ; and my favorite...when gas prices went too high, she took the excess state revenue and gave it BACK to the people of Alaska.... no political agendas. The big question today is that she might not have the experience necessary to be the president in an emergency.......hmmmmm, the way I see it, Senators make laws and Governors are the executives who make the decisions that are best for the people. People, in an emergency, you want someone who is decisive. She has an extremely high approval rating from her own state and she has been in communtiy service for 13 years. I don't think the democrats view her inexperience as a threat, but they view what she has done in those 13 years as a threat......and they may want to be ready for this 'female maverick' who just may shock us all! And I say, "shock away!" and its about time! U rock Gov. Palin.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 2008
REMEMBER.....YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD MY STRIPLING WARRIORS AND.....YOU LOOK MAHVELOUS DAWLINGS!
MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 2008 3 OF MY 5 CHILDREN ARE HEADED TO SCHOOL TODAY! EXCEPT, ONE OF THEM IS RUNNING A FEVER.....SERIOUSLY! SLATON HAD A FEVER AND FELT LOUSY AND REALLY WANTED TO GO TO SCHOOL BUT....HIS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WOULD BE THE 12TH OF AUGUST. WE SENT THEM OFF TO SCHOOL WITH A WONDERFUL YUMMY BREAKFAST AND LOTS OF BOTTLED WATER. APPARENTLY, SCHOOL OFFICIALS ARE NOT OUTSIDE ENOUGH IN AUGUST TO MAKE A NOTE THAT ITS TOOOOOOO HOTTTTTT IN ARIZONA TO START SCHOOL IN AUGUST! MY VOTE IS FOR A SEPTEMBER START WITH 2 WKS LONGER IN MAY AND JUNE.....THAT'S A MUCH BETTER WEATHER SCENARIO. HOWEVER, SINCE MY VOTE HASN'T BEEN ASKED FOR, WE WILL SUCK IT UP AND SEND OUR KIDS TO LEARN ABOUT SOLAR POWER AND HOW IT EFFECTS HUMANS AND THEIR HYDRATION LEVEL. AT LEAST WHEN THEY ARE PARENTS THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THEIR CHILDREN THAT THEY WENT TO SCHOOL IN 110 DEGREE HEAT AND NOT BE EXAGGERATING!

OUR FANCY FIREPLACE SEATING
This is a blog I have been meaning to do for a long time...well, since May. One morning i got this hair raising impression to cover our stone fireplace. There was only one major problem.....I DON'T SEW A STITCH... remember the famous "i don't sew and i'm ok with it"
So in my quest to obey the all-too-familiar still small voice, i began calling my relatives who sew! I figured if I was supposed to do this, the steps would be put in place for me to be able to get it done. That journey began in April and ended on Memorial Day weekend, just in time for Tillman to be pulling up on things. Anyway, my HEARTFELT THANKS goes out to AMY HUISH AND HER DAD, STEVE CLARKSON, for engineering and putting together a great piece of SAFE SEATING!
