Read about how the Naval Academy has more Middies wanting to become Marines than there are slots. Make an old Jarhead Proud.

Priest needs to learn his facts!

I had a liberation theology priest say mass today who needed to correct his facts. He tried to make the assertion that African Americans and Hispanics are disproportionately sustaining military casualties in Iraq. Well Father, I beg to differ....here are the facts.

Cubans Need to Learn About Free Speech

Read about the anti-Castro sign at the Cuba v. Puerto Rico baseball game in the World Baseball Classic. It is obvious that Castro's henchmen need some serious schooling in free speech. Keep an eye on your baseball players Fedel...they will run away if you don't watch them carefully. Also, to hell with all these "slacker generation" kids who walk around in their "trendy" Che Guevera T-shirts. How offensive...he was a murderer, racist, homophob!! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060310/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/puerto_rico_cuba_brouhaha

Sheep led by the wolves

My husband just asked whether girls were sheep when I was young. I said yes, young girls have always been sheep but in generations past mothers watched their sheep as protective shepherds. Today we have handed our sheep over to the wolves. This discussion was initiated by the current controversy surrounding the Oscar awarded to the pimp song. It seems that women are treated as nothing more than sex toys by today's pop culture. The women we hold up as heros are half naked and dumb. We, the mothers, are compliant with this state of affairs. Are we afraid of hurting someone's feelings if we stand up and say such behavior by other women is unacceptable? If a girl walks past us at the park with her belly hanging out, her breasts accented by an overly tight t-shirt and "juicy" emblazoned on her ass, shouldn't we tell our daughters that that girls is a slut. Or is it more appropriate to tell our daughters that "juicy" is ok. If a woman is a "dancer" should we accept her as ok - separate the behavior from the person - or should we shun her? I look around me today and I am horrified by the state of our culture with regard to women and girls. As a mother of a pre-teen the situation is particularly frightening.

Finally Saw Cinderella Man - Awesome

Finally saw Cinderella Man...with all these kids I am lucky to see movies even when they come out on DVD. It is truly a wonderful story and I highly recommend it. Russell Crowe plays the depression era boxer Jim Braddock who expemplifies the values of family, faith, perservence, honesty, chivary and integrity. This is a movie everyone should see.

Tupperware Parties

My husband keeps asking who makes money with these stupid parties. It certainly isn't me. I just walk away with stuff I don't need. It would be much cheaper just to go out with my girlfriends and drink at a bar.

typical day

Typical day around here. Seven mouths to be fed. Six beds to be made. Seven bodies to be dressed and dirty clothes to wash. Fights abound. Things were going pretty well. I was making six lunches (five of my own kids and one neighbor kid). Tuna (mayo and relish on a roll); Flour Tortilla with cheese melted; fried fish sandwich with mayo and three cans of spaghettios. The contractor is over discussing the possible tearing out of a room and quoting us prices. I am upstairs looking at roofs when I realize that the spaghettios are probably boiling over. Oh, yeah lets not forget the tortilla turning black in the toaster and the tuna sitting on the counter. I get the spaghettios into bowls, the sandwiches on plates and joey likes his tortilla dark. Put food on dining room table and run back out to discuss windows. Twenty thousand??? Permits, oh no. Mom.... what son? something happened to the carpet. That something seemed to be half a bowl of spaghettios on the carpet in a c shape around daughter's chair. Daughter.... how did this happen? I don't know. Yep, typical day around here.
