Good Health To You All

I'm not missing so much as sleeping. I've got the flu. I thought this kind of thing was over by the end of February...especially south of the Mason Dixon Line but I guess I was wrong. In a house full of children here, though, I seem to either be the only one that is going to get this or I'm the first in a line of many. I'm crossing my fingers for the former.

I can't write much because it's just too nasty to sit here and try to stay awake. I'm on serious medications like "Thera Flu" and "Nyquil" (not combined, honest!) and both tend to put me out for hours. I'm doing all of the right things like forcing fluids, eating chicken soup, and sleeping as much as possible. I'm sure this will pass. AND even though I'm a nurse...I'm not a terrible patient like I've heard we are supposed to be. I'm never a bad patient. Honest! So I'll write more when I'm not contagious. Here's wishing all that they stay healthy!

Raining in and out

I called these my "blahhgs" and today that name fits perfectly. The weather is nasty outside and I feel like it's raining inside as well. I had a lot on my mind and couldn't sleep well last night. I expect my day will reflect my lack of sleep, but who knows, maybe not.

I'm enjoying my continuous attempts to understand liberal thought so that I can not be called narrow minded. I've taken to asking many questions and challenging "conservatives" with rhetoric that seems to put them on guard. (Or in some cases, just makes them laugh and think I'm narrow minded.)

My question for today: Why do conservatives hate gay people? Why do they simply not want them to be happy and to have sex within the boundaries of a marriage? Why are they trying to force gay people to never live happily ever after?

Sure, it's a sharp way to ask the question....it's even a caustic way to ask the question that I really want to know which is give me your thought out stand on why you are against allowing gays to be legally married? I will continue to post this question until I get some responses and then I will throw them together and try to see if they stand up to my next round of questions. If they do, then I need to take it all back to those liberals that hate normal society and want to see the destruction of the American family. :) That's how it works.

Have a great weekend. :)

Let the fun begin

It's time for the fun that always comes with presidential elections though I'm surprised it has started this early. Yes, Hillary and Obama are offering us the chance to sit back and enjoy a good battle between the two of them. (Okay it's not that good yet but I have high hopes.) I truly hope that they don't kiss and make up too quickly because I'm enjoying this more than I should. I can't wait until "America's Mayor" has to defend himself against whatever other Republican nominees come up with. It's just too much fun to watch politicians tear up their own.

Sent to make us stronger

Many of you know that I lost my brother David to cancer over the weekend and I do appreciate the comfort you all have offered during this time. I don't yet have a photo of David to post but this photo is of his Son, David the 2nd. I repeat that I feel blessed that I had toward the end some time to spend with David. I feel an empty place in me when I keep realizing I can't call him or give him a hug when I want to. Everyone keep his children and wife in your prayers because I know they are the ones that are hurting most right now. I have comfort that I will see David again some day. Thank the Lord for the beauty of His grace.
