I'm too old for this.

Well, not that old, but dang I sure feel that way.

My mind is filled with Blue's Clue's, Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse Club songs. ALL DAY.

I'm too old for this.

One day, I'm plugging POI's into the gps, and now I'm singing ABC's.

Little hands and little feet. Little smiles and little giggles. How can someone hurt something so sweet?

Safe and happy and hopefully has no idea what could have been.

I guess God knew I wasn't too old for this.  

 

OK. Since school has been out, I have had the pleasure of having for company the 'next generation' in the family. We swim, play with the dogs, limit electronic interaction, and camped in the land yacht. I have also had the pleasure of being the only adult around for most of the days so I MUST be the one with all the answers. If only it could be that easy. I have been asked questions about soooooo many things I can hardly sort it all out. Why is it so hot? Do we really need to do math to make a half batch of cupcakes? Why do dogs always sniff...there? What exactly do they mean by being 'green'? I tried to give them all my best shot and realized that a lot of junk got pushed into their little tape recorder minds and it was falling on to me to fix the facts. Most of you may not appreciate my sense of humor in most of my answers, but after paying this months electric bill(and having to explain what some of what I was mumbling meant), I was asked "Did we leave a big 'footprint' in the sky?" Ummm, what??? repeat "Did we make a big footprint?". All I could say at this point was. "yup, we sure did. Bigger than what the Wii cost." After a long pause, the wisdom of youth spoke up: "Maybe we should all just go barefoot for a while."

I never thought I would smile after paying bills, but out of the mouths of babes.

This subject came up to me before as I read posts calling people racists for reasons that have no scientific merit. It ended for a while, but seems to have flared. SO, PLEASE don't make me go into why pulling the race card for culture(hispanic) or class(college student) is such a waste of time. To save me some energy, and more typing than word limits provide, search this complete string of words: "Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species". You have but a choice of 3 races. Read, learn, get over it. The rest is all regional culture and is as varied as East coast language to West coast language. Northern slang and beliefs to Southern slang and beliefs.

Call AMERICAN people culturally biased because they are PROUD AMERICAN's who think-and KNOW English is the language of OUR COUNTRY, call AMERICAN people culturally biased because AMERICANS and THEIR country are being invaded everyday, call AMERICAN people culturally biased because WE want the invasion to stop, but don't dare call people racist for the same reasons. It doesn't hold up in an intelligent, qualified conversation. It's all in the science.

I am a PROUD AMERICAN who defends the CULTURE of THIS country. Love it or LEAVE IT.
