Good morning…The world did not end yesterday….the Mr and I are awake and downstairs. Â The dogs have been fed and the coffee is made…rich, hot and deeeelicious.
The youngest has his Destination Imagination Tournament this morning.  We have to be at the High School at 8:00a.m. for a 9:00a.m. start and then wait until 11:00 for the team’s instant challenge.  The kids did a nice job.  They came up with a script and a tropical theme and they made a set for their play…palm trees, a coconut farm a giant truck to haul the coconuts and much much more.  I’ll write more about the costumes and the sets tomorrow.
The boys had their Rhythms performances yesterday. In rhythms the kiddos learn 4 different folk dances.  Tinikling, a Polynesian folk dance….Square dancing…an American folk dance, Polka and The Waltz box step.  The boys were so darn cute!  Some of the kids looked like they were in pain…having to hold hands with the opposite sex and some were laughing and smiling.  The Music teacher and the P.E. teacher collaborate to put the performance together and the kids actually break a sweat.  Anyway, it was fun to watch and it is so nice that the school invites the parents to watch and support the kids and even participate in a dance at the end.
Grandma and Uncle T. made it to Arizona early last night. They will be enjoying the sunshine for a bit. Â Wish we were in the Arizona soaking up the sun!
The youngest has a friend coming over for a sleep over tonight and the oldest is thinking perhaps he should go to his friends for a sleepover. Â I think I will take them sledding after DI to get fresh air and exercise…running back up to the top of the hill is really tough, although it doesn’t seem to phase them.
Good morning, I’m taking over for the misses as she’s run out of material. As she said, the sequester kicked in and the World didn’t end. Hmmmm, all that fear mongering and for what, a measly 1 1/2% in cuts. The Pres had to get on tv yesterday and say it’s not going to be an apocalypse or all that bad after weeks of saying the sky was falling. Did anyone see Rep. Maxine Waters of California with Nancy Pelosi saying we would lose 170 million jobs! That’s more than the entire work force of the country! Then she said 750,000 jobs. Wow, what a joke. I jumped on line to check security lines at a bunch of airports around the country and they all had short wait lines, despite what we were told. As far as our food no longer being safe, hell, it’s not safe now! And on and on it goes. How about the White House threatening journalists who don’t go along with their point of view, Wow! Do you really think the Pres has YOUR best interest at heart? Do you really matter to him? I don’t think so, he’s too busy taking away our rights. How about Good Morning America editing The Pres’s wife’s misstatements about gun control by cutting 7 seconds of stupid assertions by her that would have shown everyone just how disconnected and out of touch (that’s a nice way of saying she’s stupid!) she is. ABC claimed they had to cut the 7 seconds for time but they did show her cooking for another 8 1/2 minutes! Guess her showing us how to cook is more important than sharing her complete view on gun control. The real problem is most of America is so freakin gullible that they believe what they see on tv. Wake the _-_- up people. You are flat out being manipulated and lied to. If you do not see that by now, God help you.
Ok, I feel a lot better now. I kind of like the misses writing first as it gives me time to gear up to give everyone a good dose of the truth. If you’re offended, sorry but the truth is the truth. Deal with it. Man I feel good!
God Bless, (wonder if I’ll get any comments today?)
