To Vote or Not To Vote - That is the Question!
November 3rd, 2008 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
Should you really take the time and vote?
NO - Not if you don't know anything about the person, the policies, the beliefs, the reputation, the plans, the platform... you should NOT vote! An uninformed voter is worse than not someone not voting since they are voting at the whim of someone else. If you cannot make an informed decision don't let someone else decide for you. Stay home!
Should someone vote if the race is already decided for their state?
If you know enough to make an informed decision yet (more...)| Discussion: Your Comments Please »
I Finally Decided and I Cast My Vote For…
October 21st, 2008 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff
Surely you didn't think I'd tell who I voted for did you? Sure many of you think you know who I voted for but no one was in the little booth (which really isn't a booth at all anymore but more like a little stand with a little canopy) with me.
You may see the sign in my yard showing support for one candidate. You may hear me talk about who I like or who I don't. You may hear who I think will lower taxes, protect our country, make sure my children have a country worth having but you'll never know for sure who I voted for BUT what really matters is whether YOU choose to vote. Will you take the time to exercise your right to vote? (Why do we say exerciese? Why don't we say "take the time to ENJOY your right to vote?"
Just in case you don't know when and were to early vote, take a few minutes and FIND OUT! It will only affect you for the rest of your life, and your children's lives and your grandchildren..... (more...)

Luckiest Mom in all of College Station - Maybe the World.
October 12th, 2008 categories: Kids, Family & Personal Stuff, Schools
Tonight I was asked to drive my daughter and her friends for Homecoming. No, they didn't have dates and Yes I said YES!!!
Rather than just drive... I dressed in all black, got a top hat and treated them like stars. I opened the doors for them, took pictures like paparazzi, served them non alcoholic sparling grape juice in plastic flutes and let them laugh and laugh and laugh.
I was so honored my daughter wanted me to be with her and her friends. I even overheard one of the girls saying how her mom would never do something like this - and then they asked if I would drive again for Prom even if they had dates....
It was GREAT helping making a high school memory one they will remember together! THEY are special & should be treated that way.
... and, the beautiful girl in black second from the left is MINE!

The Shoe Box - Part One
All around the schoolyard expressions were the same - amazement that this gift was specifically for them. Squealing with delight at receiving a gift from someone on the other side of the world they had never met. Toys, school supplies, and toiletries are just the beginning of the gift.
Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes. Since 1993, more than 61 million shoe boxes have been packed, shipped, and delivered across the globe. People of all ages can be involved in this simple, hands-on missions project while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ.
National Collection Week is November 17-23. Contact Cindy Seaton for more details.
