Facebook Get Behind Thee!!!!

I am addicted. I love facebook. I am a social girl by nature and that I can socialize with that many people is a whole lot of fun. But through this election facebook became my soapbox and I am not normally one to get on a soapbox.

I got in more "discussions" with my Obama Mama friends and they turned pretty heated, pretty quick.

I really really really want to be excited about the historical significance of yesterday, but I just can't. I am going to admit here and now...I am not a moderate like I have said many times over. I am a conservative and I am proud of that. I will not waiver. I did not come to my political ideologies by listening to some talking head on TV or radio. It has been through prayer, research and reading my Bible.

I will not support a party, but rather people within a party that I feel like I can better align myself with, that represents me and my morals. And our new President and I do not share many values. I will respect the "Office" in which he holds and I will respect him as a man as long as he is honorable, but do not have to respect his policies.

When "W" was elected I was 25. No kids and a different person than I am now. I have not had to be a "political activist", but I might have to be now. No more excuses, no more trying to be "PC" but I will not be "in your face" about it either. There is a time and place for everything.

So facebook caused me to become more solid in my beliefs because I had to stand up for myself because no one else will!!! Should I thank it or just keep making wall posts???

This is for you Laura

Okay, Laura I revisited my blog and I will try to work on posting JUST FOR YOU!!!! As long as you keep lovin' on those sweet babies for me!!

I will not bore ALL of my readers (Laura) with the details of my life for the past two months. But here is the jist...school, school, baseball, Auburn football, PTA, you get the idea.

So here is what is going on in my brain today...I'm over it. I mean for real. I am so over this whole college thing. Here is what pushed me over today:
I am "TOSSing" next semester, in other words it is my method classes. Pretty intense, lots of work, etc. Well, I missed my 9:30 class this morning because I HAD to get to the dr. because I was sure I had a UTI (and boy did I!!). Anyway, I had heard that an advisor came down to talk to our class about TOSS. So I went to see her and see what info. I could pick up. So she pretty much bit my head off and said she didn't have time to answer my questions.
I was so pissed...I am not an average college student, I am 33, two kids and I am serious about this!! I don't skip class and I am diligent with my work. But I had to go to the dr., my husband was out of town to be there for his step-mother's surgery and his step father had his galbladder out, I found out that my oldest nephew got a concussion at his last football game and did I MENTION THAT I HAVE AN UTI!!!!!!!!

But let me put this in to perspective so that I will remember my blessings...I can get antibiotics easily and be CURED, my step father in law's surgery went really well and he can hope to be pain free soon, my step mother in laws surgery found VERY EARLY stage lung cancer, so she was "surgically cured" and my nephew just has to take it really easy for the next few days. And, I am going to be a teacher. I am doing what God has asked of me. He never said it would be easy and He never said I would always like it, but I am doing God's will everytime I step into a classroom, everytime I take a test, do a project or get chewed out by an advisor. How very blessed I am.

But...my heart is very heavy for my "step" mother in law. I'm so glad she was proactive and we are not staring at a different set of circumstances a year later. But I just want to be near her and tell her how much I love her and am so proud of her. She has all of her children, sister and husband near her, but I want to be there too...but I have to keep the fort down here. I will see her at Thanksgiving and I will call her and tell her these things over and over until she tells me to hush.

So there is my entry after TWO MONTHS...love me or visit me on facebook!!!
