Barack Obama at the 2008 DNC

This was a good speech. I am still not sure how he will be as president but the man can give a good speech!

Sarah Palin Interview: What does the VP do?

I found this very funny! What does the VP do?? This is who the very old candidate picks to possibly be in charge of the our country should something happen to him? I know he is trying to get the womens' vote but was this the best he could come up with? I will have to look into her politics closer before I can really judge but I thought this was funny!

Democratic Convention - Hillary's Speech

I wish she would have been accepting the nomination but you have to work with what you are given I suppose. Here is her terrific speech she gave at the convention in case you didn't get to watch!

Democratic Convention - Bill Clinton's Speech

I thought Bill Clinton had a really good speech last night. The regular networks didn't cover it but here it is if you are interested.

Democratic Convention

Last night started off the Democratic Convention. Of course, I plan on watching all of it. I also plan on watching the Republican Convention next week. I think it is important to hear what both sides are trying to say. I would have to say that Michelle Obama had a terrific speech. She has gotten a lot of critism but she did an excellant job last night. If you want to read a little about her speech click on the title. She said, "As I tuck that little girl and her little sister into bed at night, I think about how one day, they’ll have families of their own. And one day, they — and your sons and daughters — will tell their own children about what we did together in this election. They’ll tell them how this time, we listened to our hopes instead of our fears. How this time, we decided to stop doubting and to start dreaming.” I would love it if this campaign could actually accomplish some of the things they have been campaigning on. With the way our political system is set up, I don't know if it is possible.

Back To School

We headed back to school on Wed. I wasn't ready for them to go. This summer went too fast! With me working for most of it, it especially seemed that way. They are both happy with their teachers and the kids who are in their class for the most part. I can't believe Sam is in the 8th grade though. My baby is in third grade!!!! It doesn't seem right.

Conan O'Brien - ''Pilobolus''

These people are amazing and flexible!!!

Sam's 13th Birthday Party!

It is crazy that Sam is turning 13 on the 17th of this month. I can't hardly believe that I have a teenager! We had an ice skating birthday party which I think went well. All the kids seemed to have fun.

Softball

Sam had a great softball season. She really improved this summer! We are really pround of her.

I Am Back!

I am back to posting. I have been tied up all summer but August has welcomed a respite in the craziness. For those of you who don't know, I quit working outside of my home. I still have plenty to keep me busy. I am trying to catch up on all those things that I let go while I was working and catching up with the business work. I am going to start posting a lot more often. I know you have heard it before, but now I have the time to start again.
