Happy Mother's day to me!

Apparently I am more beautiful than a mule, so says my youngest and (ahem) dearest child. Mason was given a form to fill out and fill in the blanks to the questions in Sunday school on Mother's day to tell things about his mother. Here are a few things the dear, sweet boy said about me:

My mom's name is Traci. (he is so smart)
She is 37 years old. (right on brother)
She wears a size 4 shoe (dang my foot must have shrunk by 5 sizes).
Her favorite food is pizza (well I wouldn't say it is my favorite food but it does rank up there pretty high).
If I could take her on a trip, I would take her to -Florida. (that sounds good, we could meet up with a few family members and maybe visit Mickey Mouse)
My mom likes it when - I kiss her. (isn't he sweet?)
I would like to buy my mom a - dog. (how thoughtful he is... he had written a CAR, but scratched through it and wrote a dog....Just what I need LOL)

and last but not least- My mom is more beautiful than- a mule. (if he gets any sweeter, I don't know what I will do with him)

OH and I won't dare say what he guessed my weight to be. What were those Sunday school teachers thinking when they put that question on there????? Ruined my whole day, LOL.

HUH???

An Australian primary school has infuriated parents and disability advocates by asking students to come to school dressed as a disabled person as part of a fundraiser.
In a newsletter sent home to parents on Wednesday, Ramco Primary School in South Australia advised it would hold a "disability day" and fundraiser on Friday, May 29, with prizes for the "best students dressed as a person with a disability."
The aim of the dress-up is to raise money for a clinic in Bangladesh that repairs cleft lips and palates in children, The Advertiser reports.
Its newsletter stated: "There will be prizes for the best students dressed as a person with a disability. Get your thinking hats on and see what disability you can represent!"
The well-meaning idea has missed the mark, with one disbelieving parent saying she had spoken to other parents who were also bemused by the concept, wondering how they were meant to dress their child.
Principal Barrey Niven said the idea had been to raise student awareness of what it is like to cope daily with a disability but the idea had not been conveyed well in the newsletter.
The intention of the fundraiser, devised by the school's Student Representative Council, had been for students to come in with a bandaged arm or leg, he explained. He said a new letter would be sent to parents explaining the idea more clearly.
Paralympic gold medallist Matt Cowdrey said while he was sure the school's intentions were good, he didn't "think this is the best way to raise attention."
"People with disabilities want to be treated and should be treated no different to anybody else in the community," he said.
Disability advocate David Holst said the dress-up day was in poor taste and there were better ways to create awareness.
"You can understand it's with good intent, but it is trivializing some serious issues and is the worst in poor judgement and poor taste," he said

I believe that she can help change the world-

BUT

she has to cry first.

I swear if this girl doesn't get out of this whiney, crying all the time stage-

one of us are going to need to be medicated....Prozac maybe???







There now, it's all better

I can't help I'm cheap....

but I am. There, I admitted it. Spenser is running track this year and when we went to the first track meet there was a little lady there charging us to go in and watch my son run around the track 2 times. So for me, Mike and Mason they charged us $11. I was thinking ...what the heck... $11 .. really??? But guess what...if you have Down syndrome you aren't charged at all :) Now that's a plus right?? The lady at the first meet said that she wouldn't charge us for Ashlyn and then we went to another meet today at a different school and the lady there said that Ashlyn was free...nice... Having Down syndrome does have its perks!! What a lucky girl she is.


Here's the princess with her daddy today...

and here's the handsome runner

Liberal actress and political activist Janeane Garofalo, in all seriousness, said activists who attended tea parties are racists with dysfunctional brains in a recent prime-time television appearance.

"Let's be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea party was about. They don't know their history at all. It's about hating a black man in the White House," she said on MSNBC's "The Countdown" with Keith Olbermann Thursday evening. "This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that."

Olbermann did not once try to challenge her on those assertions.

The actress went on to describe the brain size of typical "right-winger, Republican or conservative or your average white power activist."

"Their synapses are misfiring. ... It is a neurological problem we are dealing with," she said. This isn't the first time she's offered this analysis, either. Ms. Garofalo said similar things about Alaskan GOP Governor Sarah Palin's brain last February in an interview with an environmental blog.

The actress went on to bash the GOP on MSNBC Thursday because it had "crystallized into the white power movement" as well as Fox News, which she said has captured the "Klan demo[graphic]."

"Who else is Fox talking to? Urban older white guys and their girlfriends who suffer from Stockholm Syndrome," she said


Is this lady serious?? So because people have peaceful demonstrations against taxes, that automatically means that hate black people? Huh?? Is she for real or is she just in need of a fat paycheck? She also made this comment - "

Scary weekend for us. Mike and the boys were in a vehicle accident this past weekend. He had taken them to the Auto Fair at Charlotte motor speedway on Saturday. I was at work when Mike called me and said- do not panic but we have been in an accident. They had come to a stop when an elderly man plowed into the rear end of our Tahoe, ramming it into the vehicle in front of them and then they also hit the vehicle in front of them. The elderly man was having some type of medical condition (they still don't know what) and was out of it when he hit them. He was slumped over into the middle of the car and was jerking and not coherent, with his foot still pressing the gas which was still trying to run into the Tahoe. Someone standing by had to turn his car off. Mike said that he still hadn't come to when the ambulance carried him off. It appeared to Mike and other's that he was having a seizure, a stroke or maybe an heart attack. We found out today that he is still in the hospital and they have not found a reason for his medical behavior. We had been worried all weekend about him and had no way of contacting him until today. We were VERY relieved to know that he is alive and okay. A car can be replaced, where human life cannot. Thank you Lord that everyone is doing well.
