I Love You Mom!

I love my mom, so much. At this time of year I'm reminded how much she did to keep us all together. She would do so much, cooking, planning and arranging to make sure "the holidays" went off without a hitch. We will try and keep up the tradition and continue to spread the love that she gave to us. And make sure that we go and see her too, so she can still feel the love.

Happy Birthday

I was completely duped into believing I was going to an early Thanksgiving party, but when I arrived I walked in to my very first Surprise Birthday Party. The love of my life has been busy putting this thing together for weeks, right under my nose. There were family and friends there. Lots of food, good times... it was a great evening! Thanks, Babe! Just one more reason that I love you soooo much!

Don't Put Your Faith in Them...

I hope the politicians know that it's getting "tough" out here for a lot of people. I hope they know that when the gas prices go up, it can have an impact on a family budget. I hope they remember that they are supposed to represent us, not make a career and constantly work on re-election campaigns. Right now, it seems that they might be more interested on being on CNN or Fox than actually getting down to doing their jobs.

Winter is just around the corner and I worry a little for some families that have played by the rules and now may be in jeapordy of losing their jobs and homes. Crime rates are up, the cost of living is up, the divorce rate is up and a lot of people are feeling hopeless.

If anyone reading this is feeling hopeless... don't. Things can always turn around. Don't lose faith... keep pushing and lean on someone close to help you make it through, and if you don't have anyone close... give me a call.
