I’m sure you’ve all heard about the pilots who missed their destination by 100 miles or so.  I wonder if this is what they were doing?

I, for one, am for it.  Why?  Because two men or two women getting married don’t threaten my marriage.  This war hero gets it:

We fight equal and just treatment, and right now, gay people really get the short end of the stick in everything. I’d love to know your thoughts (and please keep it nice — I really don’t want to hear how you think gay people are going to go to hell or any of that).

Bill has today off. Woohoo! I got to sleep in till 9 (which any parent knows is super late since Will got up at 5 am which is slightly better than the 4 am yesterday). I got to dream about flats to rent in Leeds and whatever else fit my fancy. (I don’t really remember my dreams, so who knows what I really dream about. The only one I still remember was not a flat rental in Leeds — I dreamt I had miscarriage when I was pregnant with Will. To this day, it still freaks me out).

Whoops, a little off topic there.  LOL.  Seriously though, Bill got it in his head that we are cleaning the house today.  All of it.  Every single room.  He’s been in the kitchen for about an hour or so now cleaning (though there’s no way it would have taken me that long but whatever).  He still hasn’t mopped though I do think he’s swept.  I am suppose to be cleaning (shhhhh that I’m doing this instead).  We thinks we should have a little get together tomorrow for the 4th even though it’s suppose to pour.  So needless to say, I’ll probably not be here much longer because I have a living room to clean.

How are you spending your 4th?

It’s been a rough couple of weeks out on mommy front on the internet.  We’ve had two deaths of little ones that were taken way too soon.  I was amazed at the amount of support that was given to both mommies, and I truly wish there was something I could do to make it right.  I hate that helpless feeling.

That’s why when I came across Loretta’s post I knew I had to spring into action.  See, her family has had a rough year.  Her husband ended up off work and in the hospital due to a crazy infection.  However, through it all, she’s never asked for anything.  Even now when her son’s bike was stolen over Easter weekend.  Yes, stolen.  Now, she won’t ask for anything, but I will for her.   I’ve linked to her post and if you notice at the end of it there is a little donation for buying her a movie.  I would love to raise enough money for her to get another bike for her son.  If you’ve got a little extra this month, please pass it forward and make her day.

Thanks!

Sgt. Kelly Keck
34 years old from West Liberty, Kentucky

Secretary of the Army Pete Geren congratulates Sgt. Kelly Keck after presenting him the Purple Heart.

On September 13, 2008, Sgt. Kelly Keck, a combat medic serving in Afghanistan, was wounded while trying to aid his fellow soldiers who’s truck had just been struck by an IED. “I stepped off the road to try to get to the side of the truck, and the next thing I know I hear a loud boom, and I’m laying on the ground,” he said. Sgt. Kelly had stepped on a land mine. He was flown to a field hospital in Jalalabad where he ended up loosing three fingers on his left hand and his right leg below the knee. “It was quite an ordeal,” the soft-spoken soldier said.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
