Mother's Day!

Dear Readers,

Happy 129th Mother's day of this year! Yep, that's right. I've decided that mothers need to be celebrated every day and not just one day every year. So here's to all you mothers out there:

Here's to the mothers whose children have odd friends that come over and eat all their food.

Here's to the mothers who work tirelessly to make their homes run smoothly, including cooking cleaning and all other forms of home-making.

Here's to the mothers go to countless preformances for their children, whether the children want them there or not.

Here's to the mothers who are marvelously talented and share their talents with their kids.

Here's to the mothers who put up with husbands, whether they're annoying or the best husband on the planet(yes, you have to put up with them, too).

Here's to the mothers who let friends stay over late and bring them into debates over the validity of Chuck Norris as a world leader.

Here's to the mothers who support their husbands in their various activities.

Here's to the mothers who are there for children who need a shoulder to cry on.

Here's to the mothers who are there for children who need someone to wrestle them, and usually win.

Here's to the mothers who stay up late to rock their child to sleep when they can't fall asleep themselves.

Here's to the mothers that go through painful medical when their children need it.

Here's to the mothers who aren't mothers, they work hard for their adopted children.

Here's to the mothers who will be mothers. It is a high calling.

Here's to the mother of all mothers, who lives in heaven and will be waiting for us when all her children come back and stay with her.

Happy Mother's Day!

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

That's What Makes the World Go 'Round!

Dear Reader, Bonus points go to whoever can name what movie today's song title comes from. Comment below to submit your answers. Today I wanted to give you an update on the great " ALS Ice Bucket Challenge " that is taking the internet by storm. What started as a small campaign to raise awareness and funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) has grown and caused thousands of people to dump ice or ice water over their heads. That is how it works: one person nominates another to the challenge. That nominated person then has 24 hours to either donate $100 to the ALS foundation or have a bucket of ice dumped over their head. I would like to think most people are both accepting the ice bucket challenge and donating to charity. I won't judge, though. With all of this publicity that the ALS campaign has received, it made me think of other fads that people participated in during the 1920s and 1930s. Did you know that people regularly participated...
