“Playground Politics”: Opinionated MAMA’s Perspective on POLITICS
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010Primaries are BORING, right? Voter turnout is typically dismal in the United States, particularly in mid-term and primary elections. No one cares…we go about our day, doing our thing and then we wonder how so-n-so got in office. Hmmm? Maybe that’s why the candidates feel like they need to jump up and down and, basically, stand on their heads to get our attention?!

Our kids are not responsible for solving the huge problems of the day, but our politicians are! (more…)

She was quiet. People made fun of her. We weren’t close friends, but I liked her. (more…)

Monday, September 27th, 2010Last night, I was in a dinner jam.
I had to take my daughter to the first day of Fall swim team practice by 5:45 pm, and I walked in the door at 4:45pm.
I had exactly one hour to make the family dinner, serve it, eat it, and get back out the door again. Could I do it? (more…)
