Picture 2

Welcome, ladies!  I hope you have had a productive week.  I have been busy, and I'll admit the Home Sanctuary tasks have been hard for me this week and I have had to get very creative.  Sad to say, but today to gather trash or donations, I cleaned the fridge.  When did I buy this fresh broccoli?  I'm thinking it was for the twins' birthday party last month and it never got made into a veggie tray.  Why is this new'ish bag of potatoes mushy?  Is this sprouting sweet potato the same one I bought around the holidays?  If not, where did it come from?

*Warning: political opinions ahead*

In other news, if ya'll take a close look at your recent paychecks, you'll probably see what we saw this week:  a little note stating that due to the economic bailout plan, federal taxes have gone up effective immediately.  Higher taxes, California's 10% paycut, and an IRS bill.  I guess this is the economic stimulus that we've all been hearing about.  The only stimulating we will be doing in the economy is buying more Top Ramen and less fresh broccoli.

In spite of my rantings, we ARE blessed,

Cheryl

Musings

The State of California recognizes Cesar Chavez's birthday (March 31) by giving its state employees the day off.  Um, Happy Cesar Chavez Day?  Funny.  They no longer recognize Abraham Lincoln's birthday or Christopher Columbus Day.  Why is this?

And why is it only acceptable to share liberal views?  Seems that those of us with conservative views get bashed for speaking up.  Of course, if I believe in the issues that go against the Bible, I am welcome to share them openly.  Why is this?

I think I'll stop my pondering now and go sew some Binkies.  Track meet this afternoon and it looks like we're going to have perfect weather for it.

Blessings,

Cheryl
