A Conversation about President Barack Obama.

-
President Barack Obama was on the television screen when my daughter and I had the following conversation:

Daughter (D): Mom, do we have to listed to him?

Me (M): Yes, we need to listed to him.

D: Dang it!

M: He is the new president of our country, so we need to respect him.

D: Is he going to kill our babies? She is talking about abortion.

M: No, he is not going to kill any babies, people will make sure of that.

D: Do you like him now?

M: I didn't vote for him, but maybe we should give him a chance. Our country has a lot of problems. Hopefully, he will fix some of those problems.

D: He can't help me with my problems!

NOTE: This past week, President Obama reverses abortion-funds policy. He has taken a direction I don't agree with!

I haven't "listed" to him yet. I have better things to "list" to like "The Bachelor" and "American Idol". LOL. (She's so cute!) I know, I know, I'm a bad citizen and should be deported to Siberia ASAP! But, despite the abortion issue (makes me wanna' vomit - what is he THINKING?!?!), I do have hope that he'll do his best to make this country a better place. (SIGH).

I agree with her too-I don't listen to him either. He isn't my president cause I didn't vote for him either. I don't think he will be there 4 yrs-I sure hope not cause we are going to be up sh-- creek without a paddle if he stays in. I don't think he can do anything good. Traci

I am pretty much on the Obama presidency count down like many others. I couldn't even force myself to watch the inauguration.

My 1st Half Marathon of 2013!

-

I ended 2012 with a GAIN (weight that is) but I started 2013 with a BANG and ran a half marathon yesterday (well 15.1 miles actually)! And my children both ran a 10K (6.2 miles). I am so proud they run with me. The race was inside the Olympic oval which was fun to see. I love my BLING (below). My next half marathon is in 19 days! It will be a FUN run and I cannot wait to run it. I ran 6 half marathons last year and I hope to run even more this year. I ran 2 miles more than a half marathon because the line to turn in the timing chip was long. Funny thing about it is my friend knew she was two laps behind me. Because I kept running so did she. She was so mad when she found out she could have stopped earlier.  After the race my daughter passed out cold. I think she is ready for a day of rest after 3 days of snowboarding and a day of running.

Fun in Florida at Walt Disney World!

My children and I spent nine days in Florida at Walt Disney World with my best friend. We had fun, but it is good to be back in the dry heat! My children and I cannot stand the humid weather! The last time I was in Walt Disney World was 15 years ago. I loved it. I decided it is far too big of a place when you have small children. Disneyland is so much better for the young ones because it is smaller.
