When Duty Calls...

Rob has duty tonight....ugh! I hate it when he has duty. Luckily, Parker is already asleep and Bella is ready for bed and it is only 8:40!! This is an accomplishment when Rob is not here to help me! I am getting ready to watch One Tree Hill and then off to bed! Goodnight all!!!!!

Blessed Sunday

We had a busy weekend. Bella and I went to Disney on Ice on Friday night and had so much fun together. I think that it is important that she still gets some alone time with me. She was the only child for 5 years, and I know that it is probably hard for her to share me. It was a great time though. Saturday, Rob, the kids, and I went shopping at the outlets. It was fun! I love to shop. Today, we went to church, and the sermon was so revealing to things that have been happening in my life recently - things we can not control. I know that I need to let God control everything in my life, and I am trying more and more everyday to let go of the need to try and control everything. I just feel so blessed to have 2 healthy kids and a wonderful husband and my health and great family and friends!!!!!! I love days where you can actually sit back and enjoy the people and the things that God has blessed you with! God is good!

Election

It has been awhile since I posted, but last nights election has been on my mind, so I felt the need to blog about it. I saw a lady on the news last night who was wearing a USMC shirt and said that her son is currently serving in Iraq. She said that the reason she voted for Obama is because he is going to bring the troops home. My husband is a marine, and he has said several times that he does not agree with the original reason that the troops went into Iraq, but he thinks that we now need to finish what we started over there. There have been many men and women who have fought over there and lost their lives for this cause, and to see a woman say that she voted for Obama because he wants to bring them all home before the job is done - angers me. I think that he received many votes for the wrong reason. There have been many people on the news this am that have stated the reason that they voted for him was so that he could be the first black president. Is that really why you would pick the person who is going to run our country? I think that it should be based on their beliefs and their goals for our country. When I watched McCain's speech this am - it made me cry. I pray for our country. I will back Obama b/c he is our country's leader and as Americans - that is what we are suppose to do, but I pray that the "changes" he promises are for the benefit of the american people.
