Seeing Red

Cold weather has finally arrived to Georgia...about time. I was getting worried with those 80 degree days in October. I was listening to WSB in the car and they said possible snow flurries this weekend! Heat from hell to snow flurries...never fails. Only in Georgia.

Well last night was the big election! Seems like the republicans took back over! How welcomed that is! I will admit. I did not vote. Here are my reasons...
1. I didn't care for Barnes or Deal, none tickled my fancy. Even the libertarian.
2. I had no idea what ammendments I would be voting for, that isn't fair to go in blind.
3. People going in blind and ignorant is how Obama got elected, see how that has worked out for us?
I also felt going to vote a straight republican ticket was not doing my duty as a citizen without really doing the research to know what person wants what and what they plan on doing. I did not want to be that ignorant voter. So next election, I will be on it. I will be well versed.

Listening to Obamas speech today made me calm for some reason. I don't know if the man was talking out his rear end, but he seemed humbled by the elections last night. Now don't get me wrong...I did not vote for Obama, nor do I agree with about 90% of what comes out of his mouth. But he is still human, and I still respect him. I couldn't run this country. I also pray for him frequently. He is a high priority on my prayer list. Because he holds my parents, me and my future husband, and my future children, and their childrens future in his hands. I think prayer is much needed. Not the hatred...

Like I was hearing on WSB today...the beast called "We the People" have awoken...and we will not go away. We are coming across loud and clear now...I am proud of our people. We will make it right again. Whatever right is. Time for a REAL change, and not the one Obama has been talking about.

Because quite honestly, I haven't seen much change that he promised. I know change does not happen over night...I am realistic and knew it would take time. But c'mon...even this ignorant southern girl from Georgia knows something isn't right.

Busy weekend ahead...Piersons 2nd birthday party, inventory at the halloween store, and just cleaning and trying to do something with this house. Oh and writing plenty of letters...really enjoying that part of my life right now.

My dad had surgery on his wrist this morning. He came through just fine. He had it done at resurgeons in Morrow, first class people. Would recommend them with anyone with a broken bone.
Dad has got his pain pills, so he is a happy camper.

If you have extra time in your life or you feel the call, everyone should write to a soldier. They really rely on the support of others. It is a really cool thing to support someone in camo during these times.

God bless!
