The Great Race

Why does race matter so much? I just filled out an application for Tucker for school for next year. Of course, it had the "race" question. I did not answer this. I NEVER answer this question. They called me and asked me what the answer was because they "had to enter it into the computer". I didn't argue with them, it wasn't the person's fault who was on the phone, they were just doing their job.

Am I being manipulated??

I went shopping yesterday and took Tucker with me. He was great, didn't give me any trouble. Except for one incident. I was "in" the freezer inspecting the veggies, deciding which ones to get. Tucker started pushing the cart down the isle. Before I realized it, he had just about run over an older woman. When I turned around and saw what happened I went down and scolded him for pushing the cart into people. I told him to apologize, which he did. Then we went on our way. A minute later he starts crying and said to me, "Mama, you broke my heart!!" Which, hearing him say this to me with tears running down his pudgy cheeks, broke my heart. Of course he said this because I had hurt his feelings when I scolded him for pushing the cart into people, he's very sensitive that way. Is he learning to be manipulative an early age?

I can't believe it passed :(

I can't believe they passed this health care fiasco. What a disaster this going to make the system. Good grief!! I'm so disgusted with politics lately. This proves that the politicians don't listen to their constituents anymore, they don't even pretend to listen.

I'm wondering which industry is going to be next. The federal government bails out the banks, takes over some of the auto companies, now it's health care. Which one will be next? Hmmmm....

"The Room" by Joshua Harris

I know this is a long read but as I read this I really felt that this explains the atonement so well. It created a picture in my mind of how the atonement works. I know Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and I am so grateful for the atonement. Especially with Easter coming soon, if you want to learn more about Jesus Christ or about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints you can go to www.mormon.org (the link is also in the "Links" section on my blog).

Went to Purdue

Well, we went to Purdue on Monday. Kind of a last minute thing, I called them on Friday and found out there was only one opening left for the admissions program tour and it was on Monday, so I made it happen. My family & friends are so awesome for helping us out like that!! Thanks!!
