Funny Kids...Just trying to help there mommy

My kids are great!  Yesterday it rained all day.  So when my 5 yr old daughter asked me to go splash in the puddles before dinner I said sure.  She was wearing her rain boots.  My 3 yr old son was bare boot. So my husband and I are talking while I am cooking dinner he turns and looks out of the window and yell get in the house.  I look at him very confused because we had given them permission.  Well what I didn't know was they thought to save me time doing laundry by running around naked.  So we get them in the house and my loving husband keeps a striaght face and tells them that it is not ok to run around naked.  I am trying not to laugh in the kitchen so they can hear me. I finally get my composer and by this time they are redressed in there muddy cloths. I asked them what they where thinking they said they didn't want to get there cloths dirty for you mommy.  I  tell them not to do it again and they can go play outside again this time stay dressed.  They book it outside before we can change our minds and we both loose it.  So yes my kids are great.  We live in the middle of town I just wonder what the neighbors thought.  (I hope they got a laugh too) Only my kids. 

Have to laugh at yourself

You know you spend time at the range when you open your email and get a Target add and think wow I can get new targets and realize its the store.  I know I am silly but I catch myself and laugh every time. 

An unexpected rant

Before you read this know I try very hard not go get baited like this.  I do really value the other side opinion and I feel they have the same rights as I do to say and think and feel how ever they want regardless of how I feel or agree with it or not. 

No ones real names are used in the rant. 

So I liked this picture on facebook yesterday and didn't think anymore of it till I was baited.  I knew I was baited into an argument once I read the post.  

She said:  And some citizens supported by my 

tax dollars need to learn to talk respectfully 

about theri commander in chief!

I lost It. I knew I would so I walked away 

from the computer. Well the more I think  

  about it the more I am disgusted.  

My reply to this is: 

So answer me this Are you tax dollars more important than 

the sacrifices men and women who serve in the military. 

They die, they leave there families for months ,years on 

end. But your money is more important than there life? What 

of there 1st amendment rights? You have yours but since 

you pay them to defend your freedoms they shouldn't have 

them? How is that American? How is that right? They respect 

the office not the man! The Man changes the office doesn't. 

She replied with:  Hey, I respect soldiers and the sacrifices 

they make very strongly! I just would like to see a lttle 

respect for our president! You don't have to agree, you can 

still be respectful. I bet your husband is respectful to his 

leaders whether he likes them or not!

I replied:  He is but I am very offended by your statement 

that because you pay tax's you have the right to tell them 

what to do.     

Respect is earned never given. Like I said they can respect 

the office, and not the man. By your logic since I pay tax 

dollars I can 

tell people on welfare, and disability how to raise there kids, 

what they can think, what they can say, and where they can 

spend my money? 

The fed Gov't already does that.

Now all of this being said at this point a couple of my friends 

came on  and posted somethings 

one was : OBAMA SUCKS!!!!!! I just exercised my freedom of speech and I don't mind my 

tax dollars supporting our military.....I prefer that over my tax dollars supporting that 

LOOSER in the white house! Just sayin...you GO GIRL!

2nd friend replied : You are pathetic (name)   You, and your like, are why we are in the 

straights we are in. You do not have any respect for what our Constitution is, yo used 

position and power as all that is deserving. You are Lenin's usfule idiot!

She responded: glad to see you mature people exercising your feedom of speech! be 

offended (my name) ! It seems you are to anything you disagree with! sorry for you!

I responded: I am not offended with people using there 1st amendment right just as I am 

not offended when someone used the 2nd, 3rd,4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th. No matter 

what they are our rights as American citizens. Now I will not always agree with what people 

say or how they say it but. That is my right to not agree or agree. Just as it is your right. 

That is the great thing about this country is that we have rights. Each one of us use these 

right as we see fit. I stand against anyone who tries to take aways my rights or the rights of 

my children.

Another thing to remember once you start chipping away at rights for one group when do 

you stop chipping away at all groups till there are no rights left?

Now what offends me is the blatant disregards for our Constitution. The rights, and why we 

have this document. My tax dollars that pay for abortions offends me to no great end. I do 

not believe killing unborn children is a right. It is murder. I ddon't believe in giving anything 

away for free (like cell Phones). If you don't work for it then it will mean nothing to you. 

That offends me greatly. Obama using children as political tools offends me. Don't tell me 

you are going to take away my guns for the children and have your children have armed 

guards. (I think his children should be protected by armed guards btw) But so should mine. 

I am my kids protections. Don't tell me as a parent my kids are not mine they are the 

communities that offends me. A great many things offend me but using your rights is not 

one of them.

The Lonely Libertarian: Return to basics:   I remember when this was the norm, not the exception. Too many have no knowledge of how to live this life.

Lets see if Senator Burr replys

Dear Senator Burr

I would like to know why you voted to advance the gun legislation?  It is my belief that it against the U.S. Constitution.  Where do you draw the line.  I would hope you do not have any intentions to take away my right or the rights of future generations to protect themselves.  I hope to hear from you soon.

Concerned Citizen and Voter

Did  Federal Government loose a copy the Constitution and a Dictionary?  I am sure one could be found. 

Perfect example for what to do with the left over buttermilk.

Butter Milk Pie

In previous post I explained how to make butter so I thought I would post a nice treat that use what is left over. 

It is so simple kids and make it with adult help. 

All measurements are estimates I am horrible about measuring.  

About 1-1/2 cups butter milk (you can use store bought)

1-1 1/4 cups of baking mix (homemade or store bought)

1 1/2 cups sugar

a splash of vanilla extract about 1 tsp

1/3 melted butter cooled (homemade or store bought)

3 eggs

Grease a 9inch pie pan or casserole dish.  Preheat over to 350 degrees.  Mix all ingredients together with hand mixer for about a min.  It will be runny.  Pour into greased pan and bake for about 45 min.  Test center if tooth pick comes out clean it is done.  

Very simple to make and had a wonderful flavor.  I have made it with store bought and homemade ingredient and I love it both ways. 

I made this last night and by the time I thought to take pictures of it.  It was gone. 

I hope you and enjoy it as much as my family does.  

More Parents need to speak up

The comments made by Mellisa Harris Perry are outrageous.   My children are my responsibility nobody else. This country is based on freedoms and rights.  Why is the media and Federal Government slowly trying to take away our rights.  I am shocked and appalled that more people are not upset by this.  No one else is going to love my children the way I do.  They are not going to support and raise my kids.  Nor do I want them to.  

Once she was called out on this statement she came back and doubled down on this misconceived notion.  How can this be a sane idea.  No one but parents can take joy and pride in our kids achievements and sorrow and anguish when out kids have disappointments,  

I love my kids and will love and support my children till my dieing breath.  In society once you become too much to handle or an adult society doesn't care anymore.   But I as a mother will always care.  

How can it be that parents across this country not see how dangerous this idea can become.  More parents no matter what your political affiliation should be screaming against this idea.  I for one will not stay silent and let them take my rights as a parent away. 

Wake up and pay attention

 Why our elected officials not calling out and demanding answers and reform from our President who is trampling on our Constitution.  Why is it hard to understand that the Constitution gives us our right as citizens it is not a tool for the government  to take away rights.  There are checks and balances for a reason. One person can not decide the fate of the whole country.  Why are we letting one person make all the decisions for us.  The blatant disregard for the laws of this nation is appalling and shameful.  This country is being ripped apart from the inside out and it is scary.  Why would anyone that loves this country want to do that.  The problems we see to day are not for a select few but for every American and all the future generations to come.  Think of your children.  

More then once since the Mass shooting in CO. I have had disturbing conversations with grown adults saying  "we should ban assault riffles",  then in a another conversation tell me they don't follow politics." So let me get the straight you want to ban something that someone else told you was bad.  Once you ban one thing where does it stop is what I want to know?  What's next well a doughnut will make you fat so we will ban them as well? Oh wait the  mayor of NYC has tried that with soda.  

Why would you not pay attention to politics they pay attention to you.  You wouldn't put your life in the hands of a surgeon without checking out his credentials.  Hell you wouldn't let a stranger watch your baby,  but who makes the laws for said individuals and future generations.  Not paying attention is exactly what the government  wants. That is how they get away with what ever they want.   People are starting to wake up and I hope they start to become active speak out on what ever issues.  But to remain silent should be a crime.
