Praises of a Wife and Mommy

Yes!   I will admit it... I cried at the little parade tonight to send the 6th graders to Middle School.   I only did because Selah started to get teary eyed.   I loved that her elementary school went through 6th grade!  I feel like I was able to keep an extra year of childhood!   God is using her!  I so blessed to be her mom.  

So we went to a parade in town on Labor day.  I am happy to report that my kids had fun with their friends but what a bummer of a parade it was with people and there attitudes towards political junk.  It was kinda depressing as adults acted like children who did not get there way.  Lot of people were in red to support the Democrats, other cheering with the Republicans, and lot of people had shirts on demanding they get bargaining rights back since our governor signed a bill to get rid of labor unions last spring. To me it was pathetic to see old ladies "booing" others walking in the parade!!!  REALLY??  GROW UP!  My friend spoke up and said "Knock it off, I don't want my kids to be a part of this." I am glad my daughter never noticed any of the other adults agenda's and had fun but it just has been on my mind since Monday!  I don't follow politics much at all... I mean don't get me wrong I think it is important to know...

We went to a parade today and got tons of candy and a few other little things.  :)  Not shown in the picture were Popsicles and a couple bottles of water. I was happy my daughter did not get scared of the A&W Root-beer bear or the clowns!  BIG IMPROVEMENT.
