School, politics, and everything else going through my mind at the moment.

Micah is in school! I am so excited to send him to someone else for a few hours every day. Everyone around here was just getting on his nerves all the time, therefore he was getting on everyone else's nerves. He is doing well, but this is only the second day. Let's hope he stays in this good mode at school, at least.

Politics. I hate getting into political debates. Mostly because I tend to get into debates with those who are uneducated about the things that they are arguing about. An intelligent debate is fine, but I have to be in the mood. Having been on pain meds all weekend, then abruptly stopping those meds yesterday so that I could care for my kids, a political debate was not what I really wanted to get into, but when someone says something that is not true about something, I just can't help myself sometimes. Instead of arguing, my statement to the person who was spouting off in an attempt to get attention, I simply stated that she "might want to check her facts about that." Something that one hears on the radio or television is not always acurate. What do I end up doing? Research. Proof of my point (which I didn't even really argue) that her statement was completely inacurate. I don't really even want to give it to this person, she has been attacked enough already, I just had to prove my point to myself. In that process of gaining information, I ran into this very interesting article about Sarah Palin. I should point out that I am neither democrat, nor republican. I don't even sway to one side or the other. If you really want to hear my political views, talk to me in person, because I refuse to post them on the internet. I just don't want anyone to misunderstand me. Oh, and by the way, my husband an I are very different in our political views, so if you know his view don't think that you automatically know my views.

Today, I had my niece over again. Cassidy learned how to get down from Becca's bunk bed! I was so excited. I think she really got mad at me for forcing her to learn such a thing, though. I just refused to go rescue her every ten minutes like she had expected. Now, she has more attitude towards me for making her do it, but she can climb down the ladder. She went to the bathroom for me, too. I'll have all these girls potty trained soon (unless something else happens to get in my way).

My Bible readings this morning were in 1 Peter. I am always convicted of something when I read in 1 Peter. I'd quote some of what I read, but if you are like me, you'd rather read it in your Bible. If you haven't read it lately, I highly recommend it.

Umm...what else is going through my head right now? My newest niece is really cute. This is a picture my sister-in-law posted on myspace of her baby. I want to hold her so bad!

That's about all that is going through my mind right now. Well, that and I really want a pain pill and I wish for a maid, and while I'm dreaming, can everyone in the house take a nap for a while?
