Snot, snot, go away, don't come back another day.
Colds, alleries, whatever it is.....it is driving me crazy because I have been listening to sniffing for weeks now.
Annoyed in the middle of nowhere.

What is going on?
I was listening to news radio this morning coming back from my early morning walk and heard that President Obama has lifted the ban on embrionic stem cell research. I am so dissapointed and upset by this. It has been proven that there has not been anything beneficial come out of this research, especially now that they can harvest stem cells from adult subjects. And hello.....what about all of that cord blood they just keep throwing away? It is a gold mine for stem cells and is ideal for many aplications since it does not have DNA. They don't have the rejection issues in transplants that occur in other types of treatment and transplants. But do you think they are going to use that? No, and if you want to save your childs cord blood they will charge you enormous amounts of money to do so. Everything in our world just seems backwards.
Mr. Obama also has decided that he would like to lift the Consciece Rule protective rights that doctors and physicians now have. As it stands right now a doctor or physician does not have to perform abortions if they find it morally, ethically, or religiously wrong and they are protected in their choice. But if the Conscience Rule is removed then all physicians that are approached would be obligated by the government to perform the abortion or risk being shut down. That is just wrong! Leaders of religiously affiliated hospitals have been in dialogue with our President regarding this matter. If this passes then entire hospitals will be closing their doors. Do you realize that some of the best hospitals across our country are Catholic hospitals, Baptist hospital, etc...? They will have to shut their doors because they will not compromise. Guess who will be ready and willing to purchase those newly vacated facilities? You guessed it, the government. Call me crazy but I am not sure how I feel about not having a choice of going to a privately owned hospital for treatment if I want. Or having to find a different doctor for me and my family because the ones we had are out of work because of the government putting their noses where it doesn't belong.
It is no secret that I believe that abortion is wrong. But since there are so many doctors willing to perform them I think it is a travesty that our President thinks that he should be allowed to force people who are opposed to perform them. Folks, it is time to get on our knees and cry out to the Lord and ask for his mercy to be upon us and our country. And we need to pray that our President will see the truth of what he and his supporters are doing to our families, our communities and our country. I don't see how putting a large percentage of our health care professionals in the line of fire is going to benefit our country and its economy.
On a lighter note....I just heard that Peter Fuller is leaving the Newsboys and that Michael Tait (of DCTalk) is the new leader singer. Truly, what is going on in the world?

"He's looking at me!" "He's looking at me!" "Argh!" "Stop it!"
Apparently the boys have hit that point in childhood where it truly offends you when you are looked at.....ever. The past few days have been filled with hollering, crying, hitting, yelling, pushing, hiding and purposeful aggrivation. So much fun!! The funniest thing is that I can remember doing every single thing they are doing when I was younger. It must have drove my mom crazy, especially with there being 4 of us doing it. I distinctly remember fussing in the car about it. The rule was you couldn't look at or touch anyone else without there being major drama. LOL And don't even think about putting your hand or any other part of your body on someone elses side of the car. Hahahaha Thankfully the boys are still on carseats on opposite sides of the car. But lately they have started "slap-fights". Luckily what the little guy lacks in size, he makes up in spunk. They are pretty evenly matched. They need to learn how to work things out on their own so I try to just supervise them when they start to wail on each other so we can avoid any real drama and injuries.
Oh, and the youngest has started drawing and coloring on anything and everything.....argh! His brother NEVER did that. Of course his brother isn't as busy as the little guy.
Something must be blooming outside. Me and the oldest boy have been sneezing all morning long. Seriously, between the two of us I think we have sneezed about 200 times. And that is NO exaggeration. Poor guy, he inherited my allergies. My hubby doesn't have allergies and neither does the little guy, thank goodness. I just hoped that it would skip both of the boys. THey are such a nuisance.
Wishing it would warm up!!
