The main thing I would like is to be a better person, a better wife, a better mother.  I dont think these are ever things you are finished with.  You always have room for self improvement.  Anyone that thinks they are perfect is off their rocker.  No one has the perfect life.  It may look perfect from the outside but its not.  Nothing in this world is perfect.  However no matter how bad things get for you on a particular day there is always someone out there that has it worse. 

In the new year, be thankful for the things you have and not long for the things you don’t. Life is what you make of it and karma does come around.  If you are good to others and treat people the way you would want them to treat you things will happen for you.  If you are a mean and hateful person that does everything to spite everyone else you will learn fast that you are going to get the short end of the stick.

Be happy and try to enjoy life to the fullest.  Life is too short to live it being mean and nasty.

I wonder where the times have gone where if you have a problem with someone you just tell them.  Not attack them on your myspace or in your blog or whatever.  However if the person already knows you have a problem with them more power to you if you want to air your dirty laundry for all to see.

While it is different to just change your mood to whatever thats what you are feeling at the time but to call someone out in what you can type in the status box is just silly and not to mention something we might have done in middle school. 

My husband is on the verge of deleting his myspace due to this, while I find that silly I have started to see his point.  More and more every day it seems to be getting worse and worse.  I understand that people have to vent and they are using their myspace to do that, however some really need to practice seeing the glass half full and post about that.  Maybe you got a new sweater that day…how about you share that with the world not what a bitch so and so is. 

Ok thats my rant.  LOL.  Not that anyone is going to listen though!  LOL

There was lots of drama as promised between Audrina and Lauren.  I still think that LO caused a lot of the beginning drama and then I’m sure Spencer’s crew started the Justin Bobby rumor.  That was hilarious. 

But all in all I guess this season was ok.   It was nice to see Lauren and Heidi get to talk civilally on the last episode. I think the previews of The City make it look pretty boring so Im not sure if I will watch that or not.

Rascal Flatts–My Wish

“Beautifully Broken”

It seems like yesterday that my world fell from the sky
It seems like yesterday I didnt know how hard I could cry
It feels like tomorrow I may not get by
But I will try
I will try wipe the tears from my eyes

[Chorus:]
I’m beautifully broken and I don’t mind if you know it
I’m beautifully broken and I don’t care if I show it

Every day is a new day I’m reminded of my past
Everytime theres another storm I know that it wont last
Every moment I’m filled with hope
cause i get another chance
But I will try I will try
Got nothing left to hide

[Chorus]

Without the highs and the lows
Where will we go?
Where will we go?

[Chorus]

I am beautifully broken, I am beautifully broken
I am beautifully broken and I don’t care if I show it
[Repeats til end, and fades out]

“Go Rest High On That Mountain”–Vince Gill

I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You werent afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Chorus:
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, you work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin
Love for the father and son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Repeat chorus

So far so good.  We have a pretty good little boy that is on a schedule so he allows for nap times and things like that and does not cause too much ruckus during the day. 

Im lucky that I have a job that allows a flexible schedule.  Right now Im loving working at night.  I do not have to deal with the daily drama and BS that comes with working in an office full of women.  That sounds horrible but its true.  While I cant say that I never participated in it, its easier to keep your nose clean if you are not even there to be involved in the first place!  The night shift is not only a relaxing invironment but its made me come to realize how lucky I am to have the job that I have.  Before switching I was thinking daily I was just going to walk out!

I hated to have to take the little one out of daycare but you gotta do what you gotta do and once its time for pre-school he’ll go back.  I did not get the standard 6wks with him due to having to return to work early and hubby was home with him for the first 3mo so I feel like I missed a lot.  Now its time for me to catch up!

So moral of the story is if you have a job that allows you to work nights take the opportunity!  You might find that you love it and it will enable you to be a better wife and mother in the process!!!

One thing I have noticed from day one…Obama promotes change. Most people do not like change. They get comfortable and freak out when things change. Look around you people. The last 8yrs have been hell. We have gone to war with two countries, our economy is in the toilet and right now we have states passing bans on marriage. Is this really a situation you can be proud of? A way you want to raise your children?

I guess if you feel that you can not come together as one and realize that working together to get this country turned around is the only way we’re going to thrive as a nation, you should move. If you can not be proud of this country and what we achieved yesterday, get to steppen and dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Don’t be a sore loser. Take defeat with grace and focus on the future.

I think that is the problem today. Too many people vote for the wrong person for the wrong reasons. Oh well he says he’s going to take away my guns, or he says abortion is ok. On the abortion issue I dont think either one thinks its ok, one just believes that its a womans right to choose. This is a big issue for a lot of people. If you have children most believe that abortion is wrong. I have never condoned it, however I do not feel anyone, especially the government should be able to tell me what I can or can not do with my body. And guns, well I dont have a problem with people having them, however I do have a problem with a child shooting and killing their best friend b/c their parents are careless with the guns they do have in the household.

My biggest concern this year was the economy and healthcare. All I have heard from the McCain side is Obama is going to raise your taxes. Look at Joe the Plumber. UM, ok…Joe the Plumber is wanting to buy his business. If he earns more than 250,000 his taxes will go from 34 to 39%. Shouldnt someone that makes more than 250,000 a year pay more taxes than me who makes 30,000? Thats a no brainer really. And it is McCain that wants to raise my taxes. Any way you look at it if he is going to tax my employee based healthcare he is raising my taxes!!! Im sorry but I for one already pay waaaaaaaaaaaay more in than I ever were to think about getting back. I dont want to pay anymore. And the 5000 credit is a joke. All the credits we have on our taxes now do not make a damn bit of difference for me when I am filing my taxes.

George Bush has run our country into the ground. And those of us that voted him into office can take stake in what is going on. Had we not voted for him he wouldnt have gotten elected and we may be in a better position. Many do not like Clinton. I was one of them, however looking back take a look at our economy. It was doing better than it had in years. I actually got money back when I filed my taxes and at that time I had no dependants and worked for minimum wage.

So when you are off to the polls today really think about your choice. No matter who you vote for make sure you are voting for the right reasons. Do not vote for someone just b/c of the color of their skin or their gender. Hopefully you have really paid attention to what they are saying and realize what has been true or bogus political propaganda. I for one am voting for change b/c I am not ready for 4 more years of the same. I am ready for our economy to turn around. I want this to be a world my son can thrive, not one where we are on a spending freeze b/c the government has put us into a recession.

Think hard and vote smart!!!
