WELCOME TO OUR HOLE IN THE WALL!

We're a crazy mix in this family, keeping busy and having fun! I made this blog as a way for our family and friends to keep up with us. But good luck with that cuz I'm not the best at keepin' y'all updated!

There's 5 in the family. There's Dad - he's a motorcycle buff, building his own business, making parts for bikes. Plus he works hard at a full time job too. AND being a full time dad and our chef! There's Mom (that's ME - since I do most of the blogging). I'm a nurse, I like to go on motorcycle rides to though I'm having to sell my bike (boo!) and can't ride like I used to. I LOVE to spend time with my kids and wish I could do more of it! I'm the family chauffeur most of the time and the organizer. I'm also the photographer. (not the best but I try)

The kids are: D - the oldest boy. He's a self proclaimed nerd, obsessed w/ D&D (dungeons and dragons for those "not in the know", one of the original role playing games - NOT a video game! Imagine that! lol!). He also loves video games and computer games. He hopes to design/make video games one day. Or write plays. He's a theater buff too. He's in 9th grade and does outstanding! He's got a great sense of humor too - which usually drives his nana nuts! haha! T is the middle child and other boy. He's in 7th grade. He currently plays football and is in the honor band playing trombone. He's in a magnet program at school and is doing very well in school. He's got a GREAT laugh and has this way of doing or saying things that just touch my soul or make me laugh so hard. He's terrific! The youngest is G - the only girl. She's in 3 grade (or nerd grade as D puts it). She's learning spanish and like T, does very well with it. She did swim team over the summer, and dances during the school year. She's also in choir this year and like to join in UIL and other school activities. She's very active and is always in and out of the house. She's a spiritual soul too and has been the driving force with getting me to church most of the time, or getting us to read scriptures or having FHE. She's my angel.

Double Standard? (warning - political rant)

Steve came home and we talked politics (of COURSE - it dominates our conversations). He got a video and had heard about a gaffe by Obama referring to Stephanopoulis about his "muslim faith" and George having to correct him with "Christian faith". Apparently there's a big todo about this and whether Obama really IS muslim or not and this was an accidental slip - a crack in his "cover". Or whether it was just a misspeak. So - I searched for the video (cuz waiting on Steve to send it to me will take forever. Plus - he's changing my headlight on the van - and that's taken a few days to get done - so I really don't want to interrupt him! LOL!). I found several clips that are very short and start right before that part of the conversation and cut off RIGHT AFTER the correction. I found a few that played a larger part of the interview. IMO - it was more of a misspeak. He was trying to say one thing and it came out as "my muslim faith" - but he didn't mean it as HIS REAL religion. IT was as referrence to what the other side is saying is his. More or less. THat's what I got out of it.

BUT - I did notice that he talks about how the McCain campaign and repubs jump on the Muslim bandwagon and jump all over his faith. George corrects him a couple times saying McCain never said that - that McCain said that his faith should be offlimits. That the Muslim comments are coming from outside of McCain/Palin.

Obama then goes on to compare (somehow??? b/c it doesn't really compare the way he says it) him saying Palin's daughter/family is/should be offlimits.

But the democrats and liberals have tried to rip her apart based on her family. (whether she's a woman - by the N.O.W.; her working while being pg or even *getting* pg while being govenor; going back to work so soon after her child; being a mom of a special needs child - despite her husband quitting his job after the birth of the baby; whether the baby was even hers but instead maybe that of her oldest daughters; and now how good of a mom can she be if she's pro-choice and for abstinance and her 17 yo daughter is pregant. B/c *GASP* heaven forbid children actually utilize their own free agency despite the absolute best we do to teach them good values and judgements)

Obama himself DID say to leave her family out of it. Leave her daughter alone. The children should not get drug into the politics.

Here's my issue. If the dems can slam Palin and it NOT be connected to Obama - because HE said that shouldn't happen and HE hasn't said anything negative about her or her family.....then the same should hold true for whatever the repubs or whoever says about his religious affiliations. If it's NOT coming from McCain, then it's NOT coming from McCain! You can't connect the dots JUST b/c of party affiliation - or you HAVE to do the same for Obama and the Palin smear campaign! Yet Obama states in his interview: "You know what? I mean, these guys love to throw a rock and hide their hand." (after George says that the McCain camp has NEVER said anything about his alleged Muslim religion or faith.

Double freaking standard.

Here's the This Week segment in case you want to watch.


I've noticed that Obama has become a big wah wah baby in the last couple weeks since Palin has come onto the scene. Instead of focusing on issues - like he INSISTS they do - he's going on news shows (like O'Reilly, This Week, etc) and even in his speeches - and going on about just how unfair it all is with how he's being treated. Or what's being said about him. Or whatever. Get over it! Palin is being smeared right and left. McCain is too! It's what you signed up for when you took on this gig (running for office). He's more than willing to throw the mud himself - but he can't take it when the newsshows and commentators and even blogs rip him apart. And now - he's spending SO much time defending himself - and NOT HIS ISSUES! - instead of running for president. I watched him on O'Reilly and when they were talking about how he's portrayed on FoxNews - holy cow! He's SO passionate about it - so worked up! I just couldn't imagine WHY a President would react that way. He just isn't presidential material. A president would have kept his head.

I can totally see him leading this country to become a big bunch a babies - a big bunch of whiners. We'll all be crying in the corner b/c we got our fee-fee's hurt over what someone said or we think they said (b/c someone else really said it but they are friends or associates and therefore they must have really said it themselves). Wah wah wah. Call me a freaking wambulance already.

Here's something I think is ironic. Liberal women are now asking whether Palin can balance being a mother AND handle working as the VP. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! So the feminists that have fought for decades for women to have the SAME rights as men - to be treated as EQUAL as men - to be not have the question of whether a woman can juggle motherhood and a job - are NOW asking that very question of Palin. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

LOVE IT!!!! DOUBLE FREAKING STANDARD!!!!

The more the liberal nutjobs attack Palin and McCain (particularly Palin) - the worse they look! And the lower their poll numbers. And the more paranoid Obama gets. ANd the more hotheaded and defensive he gets - and the more the country sees he is NOT bringing the "change" and "hope" he is preaching. He accuses McCain of "more of the same" - yet his "change" is not really change when he's turned to mudslinging and attacking and defensive behavior and NOT dealing w/ the issues. So - all the left wingers - bring on the attacks. It just adds more votes to Palin's basket.

LOVE IT!
