Here are some more protest pictures

I think (actually I know) I'm glad that I didn't post anything while the protests were going on. Why? Well, because I think I might have blown up on the blog. . . I really don't want to offend anyone, but I DO feel it's important to be able to have and state an opinion. There were many a conversation had that included topics around friends and family not talking because of the differences in opinion. I really don't want to be that way! What I have been continually asking myself throughout these past few months is "Who benefits from this bill?" I surely know who will be hurt with the passing of this bill and it will be millions of people.




I feel my blood boiling just a bit remembering all the media talking about all of the "union thugs" that have been living high off the hog in WI. HELLO!! Okay, I'll stop, get off the soap box, remember I don't want to offend anyone~ Keep calm. . . .




In short, I think the 14 DEMS did a damn good thing leaving the state and camping out in Illinois so that this bill could explode and be brought out into the public the way it was. This is what my tax dollars are spent on and believe well spent! Here is a video that I took (I did take many, just not all turned out the greatest) from one evening at the capital. (I've tried twice to upload video without success! I'll try again after school)



I'll post some more great pictures tomorrow from when the 14 dems came back to the capital. The crowds were 100,000+ people! And not ONE incident!

This is how we spent February

We protested at the capital. Yes, the capital building in Madison, Wisconsin with thousands of others who were outraged by the new Governor's bill. . . Here are some pictures~







This is our crew in the car on our way to Madison.









This is inside the capital. I have quite a few of these~





















Mine and Bobbie's girls exercising their rights to protest the injustice!

feel like a poll

but don't know what to do a poll on? share some of your ideas . . .

lost my mind

and forgot to post Saturday! I hope no one holds it against me! Between conferencing, driving home and spending time with the family I totally forgot! Sorry. . . .

Today is our local crop walk, I'll have some nice pictures to post afterward! I'll make sure I do . . Until then, off to church!

what to write about??

So today I am in Chicagoland for a Therapeutic Listening conference with a co-worker. We are having a great time. We learned lots at the conference, then went to IKEA, Sephora for the girls haircare and then the Cheesecake Factory. Carrot cake cheese cake, YUM YUM. Day two is tomorrow and we are going to learn more about specific protocols, modulated music, and of course more ear anatomy! WOOHOO. . .

Taxes = check = done

TAXES ARE DONE!! HOORAY!!
We always wait until the last minute. . . . and yes, I know we shouldn't but that seems to be our mode of operation since the girls have been home for a ton of reasons that I would prefer not to share at this moment in time. . .

So, we are NOT waiting to the very last minute, which is good, but still pretty late~ A little more printing to do, envelopes to address, stamps to stick and take em' to the post office. . . ALL DONE! Thanks be to God!
