I have certainly not posted in here nearly as much as I thought I would. Once I was off of Facebook I pretty much just stayed off of the computer as a whole. I have been a much better mommy that is for certain. I will admit to going on to Facebook to briefly check on friends due to natural disasters happening way too close to their homes and families. I am happy to report they have not been affected by the storms or fires.
The thing I have missed most about Facebook are my friends updates. I totally don't miss myself on there. I am almost afraid to go back to Facebook at this point. I have enjoyed the freedom I have had from it. I will probably go back but not give updates as often. I feel like I will probably be checking and commenting on my friends more. Facebook totally creates this world that once you step out of it you realize how narcissistic you are. If someone does not respond to your update you feel rejected sometimes.
Another thing that caught my ear the other day is that people get upset when you post about your faith or political views too often. These are too things that I am passionate about. I have no problem letting a liberal person know that I completely 100% disagree with them.
I just finished reading the book "The Obama Diaries" by Laura Ingraham. It was pretty good. She did a very good job of showing how icky Obama and his administration are, in a satirical fashion. It even did a good job of making you feel like you can do something about the crap that is being pulled in the political arenas. I am so sick of almost all of those buttheads right now. The GOP totally pissed me off this past week. How DARE they, How DARE they propose a budget that even they did not want to pass? I hate liars!!! The democrats pulled a very good political ploy at the end by voting as present instead of nay. That meant they weren't voting and if the Republicans kept voting yes, the budget that they didn't really want, was going to go through, so they had to start voting no and take off their sheep costume and show themselves for the wolves they are. To be honest that would have been a great budget. We would have a balanced budget in I believe it was 9 years as opposed to the 23 year budget that is being proposed by Ryan. I could go on and on but, one last thing. Did you know that 20 million of your hard earned dollars are being sent to Pakistan so that the children over there will have Elmo and the rest of the Sesame Street Gang in their living rooms too? But did you also know that Pakistan just backed out of an arms deal with us and gave it to China?! Sooooooo now Pakistan and China are buddies. People I am so serious, there is so much going on right now. If we as a God Loving, Fearing country do not wake up to it, and take a stand we are in a lot of trouble. Please whatever you do write to your Senators and Congresspeople!
If you owe taxes this year, I am right there with ya! OUCH! My own damn fault for not doing the quarterly thing and waiting until the end. That will not happen again this year! OUCH is all I have to say, seriously, ouch!
We are coming up on Holy Week. Please Fast a couple times this week and spend some time in Prayer, that hunger you feel in your belly is nothing compared to the want God has to hear from his kids. Pray for our Nation, Pray for our Children and Pray that Jesus's love will be felt around the world.
Love to everyone.
