did he just say that?

on the first day at the campground i was walking back from the bathroom and saw a turkey with 3 babies on my way. i quickly grabbed mapboy whose next favorite obsession is birds and took him to see the turkey. he quietly said he thought it was a peacock with her babies. now, every peacock i had seen was quite colorful and this one was all brown. i just smiled and pretended to agree. later, hubby came back and said he had seen a momma peacock and her babies. hmm...so maybe mapboy was right. a quick look in our book proved he was. this was the first of several times during the week that mapboy was right about things the rest of us were all wrong on.

we were getting back late a few nights later. we were all wondering what time it was when mapboy shouted out the answer. he does not have a watch and we kinda joked about the time he gave us. sure enough, he was exactly right. we laughed and asked him how he knew. he said he could tell by the stars. at this point i realize he is getting a little funny and just had a lucky guess! here is the conversation immedietely following:

mapboy: i told you i'm always right.

my dad: yes, yes, you are usually right.

me: there are times when mommy does know some things that you don't.

mapboy: well, atleast i know the difference between a peacock and a turkey!

everyone around: ha ha ha....

i can't believe i was just burned by my 6 year old son.....the rest of the family tried to make me feel better and he just kept on walking!!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
