My Dad (Bamp) left this as a comment, but I wanted to make sure everyone read it. Whether you politically lean left or right, my Dad is a pretty smart guy and listening (reading) what he has to say (agree with him or not) will at the least make you think.

~~~~~~~

Since my daughter is writing about her family, buying a house, sending my grandson to school, etc. I am placing this here instead of one of the political item comments. What most of us do not realize during presidential elections is not whether we are d's or r's but the great importance of what candidate makes the best president for all of America. Most of Sarah's readers are (I think) younger couples raising families, buying houses and cars and trying to keep the bills paid. So my pitch here is to urge every one of you (I can tell by the comments which are r's and which are d's) no matter what you think your political leanings are to MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT THESE CANDIDATES STAND FOR. To that end, here is something that will help on one issue. I would ask you to got to www.obamataxcut.com. Yes, I know you immediately think that old Democrat Bamp is trying to pull one here but I am not. This site is done by an independant group not affiliated in any way with any party or candidate. You can, on this site, get an estimate of what Obama intends to do with your income tax if he is elected. May not affect you but I bet it will. Any money we get to keep in our pockets helps with that mortgage, car payment, insurance bill, grocery bill, GAS bill, etc. etc. So, no advertisement for my candidate here, just information that will help each of us make the proper choice.

God Bless America

School has been a little rougher for us this week. Yesterday Jack cried and did not want to go at all. I had to stand in the hall outside his classroom door while he would look out every minute or so to check that I was still there. Finally he became preoccupied by the class activities enough that I could leave and his day could continue. Last night as I was laying in bed with him and he was going to sleep he cried and said he did not want to go to school. As much as I hated to force him to go, I knew that was the right thing to do and told him that he had to go to school.

This morning I was sick. So sick that I puked on the kitchen floor. When Jack woke up he seemed pretty eager to go to school. When he mentioned the possibility of staying home, I was tempted. I felt like crap and really just wanted to stay in bed, but I knew that Jack really needed to go to school. So, we get out of bed and stand in front of the bathtub running his bath when I feel something warm on my leg. It's Jack peeing on me. Now I really just want to crawl back into bed. Then I remembered that today is 9-11 and that moving on through the face of tragedy-be it puke on the floor or pee on your leg-is what makes America great. If we stayed home, the terrorist would have won. I cleaned up the puke, washed the pee off of my leg and took my boy to school (he did not cry) and remembered why I was proud to be an American.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Amber took these pics one day when she and Heidi came over for a playdate (ok, we sat and talked, Heidi and Jack did the playing).

You know I hate to get my picture taken, but I LOVE this one!!

Thanks Amber!! It is so nice to have a professional photographer in the "family".

SLUG THIS

Reason number 179 that we need to move:

Tonight there was a huge slug on the rug in front of our bathtub!!

YUCK-OO

After yelling for Cliff (who flushed it immediately and now I am sure it will come back and suction itself to my butt while I am going to the bathroom) I asked where it came from. Lucky for us it left a trail of slug snot behind it that let us know somehow it had crawled up from beside a pipe under the sink.

Moving day can't come quick enough!!
