President Obama=Peace Prize.....Really?

President Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize today. I guess I must be missing something because I haven't seen Obama do anything that is worthy of recieving such a distingushed award. How can he recieve the Peace Prize when he has American's fighting a war in Iraq and Afghanistan? He was awarded the prize because of the "extrodinary efforts" he has made to inmproving international diplomacy. It seems as though going around the world and apologizing for America not only can endear you to crazy dictators like Chavez and Ahmadinejad, it can also earn you the Nobel Peace Prize!

I Hope You Take the Love With You!

Last night I heard that Patrick Swayze had passed away. I was so sad. Patrick Swayze was my first crush when I was a child. I couldn't tell you how many times I watched Dirty Dancing!! I had his poster on his wall and the Dirty Dancing soundtrack in my walkman. When I was younger everyone seemed like they would be here forever and even as I got older Patrick Swayze still seemed like one of those people that would always be here-that would never get sick.
I learned in 2001 that even those who seem like they will never leave; sometimes do.
I send my thoughts and prayers to Patrick Swayze's family.
We will miss you Patrick!
We love you!

Instant Coffee=Great Taste?!

I never thought that instant coffee tasted very good until I tried Nescafe. I recieved several free samples from them and I was both surprised and impressed by the flavor. I remember instant coffee tasting bland and being weak but Nescafe excels in both those areas!
My favorite flavor of Nescafe is Vanilla. The flavor is rich and the aroma smells so great! I am so glad that I took a chance and tried instant coffee again. Because I was so impressed with the flavor and quality of Nescafe Taster's Choice instant coffee, I have joined the Nescafe Taster's Choice Taster program.
I look forward to trying all the types of Nescafe instant coffee flavors and sharing my opinion of the products with you!

Free Speech and the Misinformation Police

I am so outraged and in disbelief about what is going on in America today I finally had to post something about it! If anyone had told me last year that by this time this year the White House would be calling American citizens who disagree with their insane health care reform bill a"mobs of thugs" I would have NEVER believed them!
I can't believe that the White House wants Americans to report misinformation they receive about the health care reform bill. Why does the White House care what citizens talk about? Isn't this still America? Don't we still have free speech or is that taken away in the 1000 page health care bill that no one has read?
I also wonder what the White House plans to do with all of the names that are being submitted to them as people who are spreading "misinformation". Is the White House going to send the misinformation police to visit the guilty parties? What will the "misinformation police" tell the guilty parties? Will they be threatened or maybe they will be given the 1000 page bill to read so they won't spread any more misinformation? I only thought that this kind of thing went on in Communist countries-not in the United States of America.
I have never been so scared for my children's future as I am today. I am beginning to think that my children may not have the same freedoms that I grew up with!

Super Mommy!!??

Well, it has been almost a year since I last posted! I can't believe that it has been that long. This year has been so crazy and gone by so fast-I can't believe that school is about to begin already. This is a big year for school in our home because Connor will be starting kindergarten and Christopher will be going to a new school! All of my boy's are excited for school to start and I have to admit, I am excited but I am also nervous for both of them!
I have several little projects that I need to get done before they start school. I am going to try to become organized-I think with four boys that is a necessity in order to maintain control in the house! A couple of the projects that I am trying to get done before school starts include finishing my household management binder, building a backpack/drop-off station, switching bedrooms to give Christopher his own room, and figuring out a way to organize Connor, Danny and Dillon's clothing neatly. The clothing may be the biggest challenge because all three of the boys are wearing just about the same size clothes.
I hope to document my journey from Disorganized Mom to 'Super-Organized Super Mommy! My three year old Danny has decided that my new name is 'Super Mommy'-I hope that he always thinks that!
