Just a thought...

I was wondering how much this bailout is costing every person in America. Including babies born today its up to $2289.15 and thats just the first $700,000,000,000 (seven hundred billion). That doesn't include the one that's up right now or the auto industry "stimulus", Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac bailout. Why do we keep adding to it?
If they really wanted to stimulate the economy why not send a check to everyone? Why don't we just get a big giant toilet and flush, flush, flush. I'm sure it would get clogged and they could call all the plumbers named "Joe". Do you have any idea what I could do with the near $7000 my family would get? I do 12 loads of laundry per week and my washing machine and dryer are 10 years old and so close to kicking the bucket. We have medical bills up the ying-yang. We work so hard and can't seem to keep up with everything. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for sympathy, I'm just saying "What about the little guys?"

Just Breath...

Well it seems that today for the first time in a LONG time I can breath. Yep, it was a usual Monday filled with busyness, cranky kids, lots to do and little time. But, for the first time in so long, I can't even remember, I can breath. I can deal with everything that has come up. The feeling is exhilarating and perplexing all at the same time. I'm not going to lie, I'm exhausted. I am not, however, overwhelmed. Honestly at this point of the night I am calling Sean urging him to come home as soon as he can, as if he weren't already trying. Tonight I'm not. What a blessing!
