selection. election. rejection. libertarian?

After a lengthy phone call to find out why I am not a registered voter anymore, I finally found out when and where I can go to register in McHenry County. Phew, good thing, because I may actually vote this year... maybe. I have always said I am either a very conservative democrat or a liberal republican (my teen/college years I claimed to be a democrat, dont think bad of me.) Now, as I am older, perhaps wiser... I still claim that I am a conservative democrat or liberal republican. I would almost say libertarian... and I can feel the discussion now... I am a little scared to see what can happen when government controls everything. I think we are headed that way. I like to think that hard work paid off so that we can still pay for our very expensive benefits so we may choose the best doctors, which I have a hell of a time getting appointments already... hopefully you see my point. I do not agree with abortion, just to have an abortion. Therefore, I will not do it. Those who choose to, will have to suffer with any guilt or regret. I will not have to. Does the government need to decide for us? No, not really. People will still do it. If you do not want a child, you can use protection. It is pretty simple, really. I do not have time for a political debate- nor have I addressed every topic needed to explain my position- I don't even want to. I'll end by saying... balance the budget and bring home the troops!

I didn't feel like waving either.

My dear neighbor mom-friend: don't feel bad that you didn't wave at me as I drove down the block. I saw your hands full of groceries. I knew you were trying to carry every last bag so you didn't have to make two trips.  And you know what, don't feel bad that you don't want me to realize your kids are sleeping in the car while you bring the groceries in, as I see the car is still running.  I always wonder who will call the cops when I do it, too. Dear down-the-street- mom-friend: don't feel guilty for not inviting my kids to your kids' birthday parties. It really is ok. We have so many things we can do together without the formality of a party and presents.  Speaking of presents: I really wanted to bake you something for moving to the neighborhood 4 years ago... But I forgot. But please know, the intention was there.  Dear fellow mom: thank you for watching my kids even though I know your plans weren't involving my sweeties. I hope you don't regret gi...

It's not a waste of time, if it made someone feel better

Today I did something I never, ever thought I would actually do. I stood up to someone for a hurting friend that couldn't find the right words express her heart. It was NONE of my business, had nothing to do with me, and I did what I did the most 'high-school' way possible. I may or may not have been a B. EH, who am I kidding, it could have been way worse... my convictions get the best of me, but I was calm. After it is said and done, I feel relief for my friend and hope she secretly isn't mad at me for kamikazing my way into her private life, she definitely didn't have a choice. Her sweetness made it seem like a burden was unexpectedly lifted- as for her heart; I will have to be the glue for a while. I do not care what the situation is(isnt he in jail?): if something is not right, it is so hard to sit back and watch it. I have been in plenty of crappy situations and hoped that someone would just fix it since I was at a loss. Right or wrong, it's done an...
