Just had to share a funny today!

Move over Tiger....

Look at my little man. Doesn't he look like a pro

Look at the concentration as he gets ready to send the ball sailing

Ok, so he missed the ball, but he has good form

Housing market

Ok, here is one of those opinionated posts that may make a few mad, but you were warned that I am very opinionated.

I'm reading the news and run across the article about how the rate of foreclosures has increased yata yata yata, I'm sure you've all read the same. Now there are some government officials who want to take tax dollars and throw it at this situation to "make it better". Here comes my problem with this. There are legitimate home buyers who have had extenuating circumstances that need help and I do not fault them for that. However, during all this "housing boom" there are many, and I feel the majority of those in trouble now fall into this category, that simply are trying to live beyond their means and I don't feel our tax dollars should help them. If someone went out and bought a home as a statement of what they have and did not consider a safe debt to credit ratio when doing so, I don't feel sorry for them. I do not feel that our tax dollars should bail them out. There is a lot of ramped needless spending here!

Come on people if you aren't smart enough to read the papers of do the math it's not our responsibility to bail you out! Be responsible for yourself. We won't go into the subject of responsibility because I could go on for hours about how no one wants to take blame for their own actions, but that is better left to another day.

I am just dumbfonded by it all......................

Intro to my blog

Well, here we are. I have finally decided to jump on the band wagon and keep a blog. I am new at this and very technologically challenged, but I will do my best to keep this up.

I thought I would give you an insight to what you have in store if you so choose to read this blog regularly. First I must tell you I am not much of a writer and my grammar is horrible so please don't judge. Subject matter will include tales of our daily lives and updates on my angels as well as my rantings about various topics.

Warning:
I have some strong opinions on very controversial issues and need to vent at times and this will be my outlet.

Should we feel bad

Should we feel bad if other children we know get fancier toys or have better birthday parties than our child. This question was posed to me yesterday and I just don't know the right way to respond. I feel I should say it doesn't matter what others have, and that is what I said, but I know deep down I would probably feel bad for my child if they saw others getting more and better things than them. Now I'm not one to try to play keep up with the Jones' but this is my seet child, and I want to make him happpy. I know it doesn't matter right now, because the boys are so small, but what about later in life??? Should we strive to pamper and spoil or children with material things?

I just keep going back and forth on this one
