I cried when I took him to Kindergarten and tomorrow is just as heart breaking. I know I'm not the only one who wish my baby would stay a baby. He doesn't like school but he's ready... For recess and lunch. Lol. Seriously, he has talked about the playground and lunch. He doesn't even pretend to be going for any other reason.
Everything that can be ready is ready. Per his request he has a nice shorts outfit ready. His lunch is packed with PB&J, fruit cups, cookies, and fruit/veggie juice. His backpack is loaded with most of the that ridiculous list and signed paperwork.
Only thing not ready... He has to decide which shoes to wear. I'm suddenly wishing I gave him less option. Lol.
I'm not ready. I really wish he could have stayed a baby. I'm betting every first day every year will be difficult.
Ugh tomorrow morning.

AUGUST 1st to SEPTEMBER 1st SUPPORT "MADE IN THE USA"!!!
Well over 50 yrs ago I knew a lady who would not buy Christmas gifts if they were made in China. Her daughter will recognize her in the following.
Did y'all see Diane Sawyer's special report? They removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA .
There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the special they showed truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace everything and talked about how to find these items and the difference in price etc..
It was interesting that Diane said if every American spent just $64 more than normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like
200,000 new jobs!
I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA '
FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '
I WAS SHOCKED SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think?The Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.
70% of Americans,.. believe that the

70% of Americans,.. believe that the
trading privileges afforded to the Chinese
should be suspended.
Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?
You Can..DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA !!
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed atwhat you can do without.
Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.
THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans each refuse to buy just $20 of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!
Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on Aug.1st and continue it until Sept. 1st. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they might have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.
Remember, August 1st to Sept. 1st! START NOW.
Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans and NOBODY can take us for granted.
If we can't live without cheap Chinese goods for one month out of our lives,WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Pass it on, America ...

Well, come to think of it, instead of doing it for just 1 month why not try to do it all the time. |

Stop Overprotecting and Close the Doors
Halfway into the movie and the ushers have checked the emergency exits twice! My heart and prayers go out to the victims and the families and friends of the victims of the Aurora shooting but it was an isolated incident.
Every night you go to sleep you risk not waking up. Every time you get in your car you risk that being your last breath. To live is to risk the unknowing. To live is to risk death. You can't live without death.
The point is to live. Take advantage of the time you have. But don't stop living.
Don't start demanding double and triple security. We already have created a bubblewrap society for our children and yet we still can't protect them from everything. Teach them stranger danger. Teach them to stop drop and roll. Teach them to avoid danger. Teach them to defend themselves. But don't bubblewrap them any more than they already are.
Let them live. Let yourself live.
And for peace's sake somebody stop the ushers from constantly opening the emergency exits! Thank you!
