As I sit at the stop light watching traffic go by; the one thing I find myself saying is, "well, these people all still have jobs...it can't be that bad!" Yes folks, I'm trying to find the positive in the traffic driving by me at the light....what does that tell you!
Every time I turn on the news or read the paper, it's all about job loss and the horrible economy. Yes folks, it has gotten bad, but the one thing that scares me is the fear that the media is instilling in every single American...maybe even Europeans for that matter!
And what does fear do to us? Let's see....STRESS, ANXIETY,PANIC,DEPRESSION,SADNESS,OVER EATING...etc, etc, etc. The one good thing is that the Pharmaceutical companies must being doing very well, they have a drug for it all!
If we let fear take over than we will bury ourselves in a hole and it will be very difficult to come out. The one thing I know is that I have some great things going on in my life and that's what I will focus on to get me through these tough times. Forget the papers and TV...let's jump on our web cams and stare at each other! :-)

Change has arrived!
History was definitely made and the one thing I will remember most is taking our little Bobina to the polls with me! She behaved so well and even got a sticker! Our new President of the United States is Barack Obama...it's going to be an interesting four years! Saturday, November 1, 2008
Happy 32 Month Old!
Dear Bobina,
Fall has a tendency to make me feel the change that happens in my life. There has definitely been change and each day is a new journey. You turned 32 months old this month and are starting to look like a "little girl" to me now. You are fully potty trained and said goodbye to your toddler room at school on Halloween and will now be entering the "BIG kids" class on Monday. I'm scared they will corrupt your mind and teach you dirty words.....it's happens in pre-school now....way before Kindergarten! You used the word "actually" this evening...maybe you will be too smart for those 4 year olds!
I know I write this A LOT, but I really can't believe how fast time goes with a child. It must be because they grow so fast and it's hard to keep up with the every day changes. It's life and we need to embrace growth, yet at the same time it makes you feel old and everyone around you...sometimes makes me sad.
Halloween was fun last night, she wore the same costume as last year (dogie), but who cares! You have really been into all the decorations, if people have those hideous blow up things in their yard, they get the biggest A from our child! The witch down the street had become your favorite, until last night when we took a stroll down there to touch her and say hello, then it became the "I want to go home cry." So much for touching the witch; she was a bit scary, but at least she was wearing shoes!
You are really talking and your big thing right now is "NO MOMMY!" Well let me tell you, that gets old real quick....duck tape please! JK-really! You love to help out and do everything yourself. Your imagination is full of wonderful thoughts. Your pumpkin guy got a time out this morning for "hitting himself" and not "listening"...wow that sounds familiar. We had a great party in the living room the other evening, with uncooked penne and everything! Yet we sat on soft pillows from the coach and the hostess (you of course) was fabulous!
As a mother to her child, I could write all night about all the fun and adoring adventures each and everyday, but for now just know that my love for you is bigger than the universe!
Love,
Mommy

November 5th is going to be the best day ever!
It's so hard to stay focused on my life right now when all I can do to stay sane is run and hide from the TV, radio and EVERYONE TALKING! This November 4th (now the locals have caught on and their ads just suck) is supposed to be one of the biggest election days in history. Why is this any different than any other election? Is it because our economy is in the pits, or at least the media would like you to believe this. They have done a great job of scaring the crab out of every American, rich or poor or small or tall, which then leads to people shoving their money under their mattresses and hiding from Wal-Mart and the malls!
I find it really hard to believe that this is going to be the most important elections in history. Why you ask? Well, when I turn on the TV and hear them ridiculing Sarah Palin for how much money has been spent on her clothes, I have to run outside our front door and scream at the top of my lungs. Then someone calls the cops for domestic abuse and when the cop shows up at our door to see what is wrong I say, "well officer, you tell me what's wrong with our country when their is just no faith in our political system!" He hands me a tissue and says, "good luck with that one Miss."
I will be voting on November 4th, but can I tell you that when I wake up on November 5th....the birds will be chirping and the sun will be shining....not for the winner, but for the American people who will be glad to have this campaign over with! Can I get a "GOD BLESS AMERICA" on that one!

Just want to scream!
I'm starting to wonder what planet I live on? Ok, so this is one of the most important elections of our time, but it's hard to know that when you don't hear any solutions being brought to the table. At this point, I don't believe either candidate could get the job done. The United State of America is in a sad state of mind right now and if we can't come together to fix this HUGE problem than will it really won't matter who is President? At this point, and there is less than 30 days until the election, I don't want to read another thing about either candidate or turn on the television to hear the ridicules comments on either candidate. At this point, I will move forward with a positive attitude that "we" American citizens can come together and let the corporations and politicians know that they can and will be held accountable for their actions, or lack there of, if you prefer. It's time to move forward and pull together....it's going to take every single one of use to help undue this mess!
