Iowa Floods '08

Limbaugh on the Floods

Limbaugh: 'I want to know. I look at Iowa , I look at Illinois -I want to seethe murders. I want to see the looting. I want to see all the stuff thathappened in New Orleans . I see devastation in Iowa and Illinois thatdwarfs what happened in New Orleans .

I see people working together.I see people trying to save their property...I don't see a bunch of people running around waving guns at helicopters, I don't see a bunch of people running shooting cops. I don't see a bunch of people raping people on the street. I don't see a bunch of people ...whining and moaning-where's FEMA, where's BUSH. I see the heartland of America . When I look at Iowa and when I look atIllinois , I see the backbone of America .'

Alex Talks Politics

So, I guess the kids are listening when I talk about Obama! I often talk about how he just wants to take mommy & daddy's money away from us, so we want McCain to be the next President. Well, yesterday out of the blue....Alex asks, "Mom, if Obama takes your money away... can you tell the policeman?"

I just laughed and told him I wished it was that easy! (I'm happy to hear we're raising politically in-correct children though! We're all about using the word MAN at our house!)

Glasses!

Well, Felicity just got "reading glasses", but wishes she had to wear them all the time!

Kitchen. We added the island last week and are waiting for new countertops to arrive! Then, we will paint the kitchen light blue--kind of a seaside cottage feeling!
