HAAAAPPPPYYYYY 4TH OF JULY!!!
Let me begin by saying that I am so blessed to live in America. Listen quick, cause I am rarely serious, and it will be gone soon. I was thinking tonight, as I watched the fireworks with my three boys (more on that a little later), what a privilege it is to be able to live in a free country, and have to right to do all the things I do. Worship freely, homeschool my boys, say what I want, etc. I hope to show my boys how to be thankful for our freedoms, and to be thankful to those who have fought/given their lives for the cause of freedom. Whether that be 200 years ago, or today; on our own soil, or in the middle east, I am thankful for them all! And thankful to the Lord who put me here. I hope that America will always be free and will always stand for freedom.
Ok, I am finished with that serious, mushy stuff. I did not have the best day as far as my eating. To celebrate independence day, we ate Mexican food. (go figure) I ate too many chips. Then I ate fries tonight. But what are fire works without French Fries? Hey, that is kind of funny. We celebrate with Mexican food and French fries. I don't think I had anything "American" all day!!!
My kids (7, 3, and 14 months) loved the fire works!!! If you would have stood in the Wendy's parking lot with us, you could have heard my ADHD poster child talk non stop about what makes fire works hot, and how he wants to shoot off fireworks when he grows up, and how he knows how to do it now, and did they have fireworks when you were a kid mommy? and so on and so on and so on. (If you were in the parking lot at the same Wendy's I was, I am soooo sorry!)
I have to tell whoever you sad people are that read my blogs (I am not insulting you, I just don't know how you stand it), what my ds said a few months ago. (The oldest ....the ADHD poster boy I was talking about above.) Since I told you he wants to shoot off fireworks when he grows up, it is only fair to tell you he wants to do many other things also. He wants to be a greeter at Wal-Mart (he really likes those people), he wants to be a detective, a fireman, an inventor, and the list goes on. One day he told his grandma that he wanted to be a doctor one day a week, She asked him what kind and he answered without hesitation, "One that delivers babies. But by then everything will be electric, so all I will have to do is push a button." So now you know. I wish I had waited to have my babies! One button baby delivery sounds better than actually working for it.
Ok, so I know that I have not really written anything meaningful here today, but then do I ever?? (No need to really answer that!) I think I will sign off now... the men on white jackets are here to give me my medicine LOL. Talk to you all later (or to myself as the case may be).
