Please Fight For This Cause

http://www.fightfoca.com/

As most of you know, Obama made a public announcement that he is going to sign the Freedom Of Choice Act, which will allow all types of abortions including partial birth abortions, also allowing babies who are born alive due to botched up late term abortions, to be set aside without any medical care or nourishment and left to die (most of these babies have no medical problems and most of the ones that do, have things like clef pallets, club feet, things that are correctable, still they are murdered in the most cruel and inhuman way. They feel everything that is happening to them. There is more mercy for dogs that are put to sleep) This Bill also will make it mandatory for doctors and nurses to perform this murderous act even if they do not want to do so. This act also allows under age teens to have an abortion, even partial birth abortions, without parental consent.

Catholic Bishops have pleaded with Obama not to go ahead with this horrible murder of innocent babies. They have also told Obama that if he persists in signing this Bill which would require even Catholic Hospitals to perform these acts of murder, they will have no choice but to close all Catholic Hospitals. Please let us join with these courageous Bishops who will go to any length to change Obama's mind. Please take a minute to sign this statement and let our voices be heard.

This is a great, informative website. You can click on the video of Obama's speech to the Planned Parenthood group where he promised that the first thing he would do if elected President would be to sign the Freedom Of Choice Act. He isn't even in the White House yet and he made a statement last night that he will go forward with his plans to sign this outrageous bill. He still can change his mind because the Bill cannot be signed until he is actually the President.

Please let your family and friends know about this Bill and ask them to also sign this petition. Even those who voted for Obama would not want him to sign this Bill. Most important, please pray for Obama's true conversion to Christianity. If he doesn't change his atheistic ways, may God have mercy on our country for the sake of the millions who would never agree with this Bill if they fully understood all that it encompasses. Please click on the web site below. It will take less than a minute of your time, doesn't cost anything and God will bless you for standing up of Him and His commandment, "thou shalt not kill".

Christmas tree, poor old Christmas tree.

We decided to go get our tree on Thursday night. I can't believe how outrageously priced trees are!! Since this year has been pretty rough on our family, we decided to cut costs and get a smaller tree. It works because from outside the house, it looks like a full tree. Putting it up on that table helped alot. It's small, but we know that Christmas isn't really about the tree, it's about so much more.

Just kidding people! We got a real tree too, although it's not much better. It was Mark's year to pick our tree, I usually go for the full and lush FULL size trees, but Mark insists on this wretched excuse for a christmas tree every year! I cannot stand the twigs (no offense if you like those kinds of trees, just not my favorite) So anyway, we went to pick out a tree at the lot, Mark insisted on this hideousness and Maddison was in tears because she wanted "a real christmas tree" she said she "hated dad's kind" so I let her choose the first tree, a miniature of what she really wanted. I told Mark he was mean because the kids should get to choose, but he was being stubborn since it was "his year" to pick. Poor Maddi. Oh well, next year we'll get a real tree.

La Villa Salon and Spa, Lehi Utah!

Finally a computer that works... (I hope, keep your fingers crossed!)

So most of you know we had to buy a new computer back in Sept, well it has never ever worked right and finally after major drama this morning, I took it back to Costco (who took it right back after 2 months btw... I love Costco, I will always buy everything there!) and got yet another laptop which I love even more than the one I took back, and my blogger issues have been resolved just by switching!!! Hallelujiah!!

So what I'm saying is it is no longer a major trial for me just to log into blogger and I hope to soon be a postaholic again.

Ciao!

Finally

The long awaited tracks from "Razia's Shadow". I don't have all of them on here, just a few, but don't you worry, I'll be adding more as they become available!

BLACKOUT

Have you ever just had really bad luck?

I am so glad yesterday is over. I'll try to make a long story short, but forgive me because a few details play into how we ended up where we did.

Maddison has been sick since Oct 1st. She has had strep twice in 30 days and been through two rounds of antibiotics. She finished round two on Saturday and on Sunday was running a fever and her throat hurt... AGAIN! I had made an appointment to visit the pediatric ear nose & throat specialist for Wednesday of this week, but I decided to call yesterday morning and just see if they could squeeze her in. They could... in Bountiful. But being as tired of her being sick as I was, I decided to make the drive to figure out what the heck has been going on. (Sidenote: the speach therapist at her school called me last week after meeting with her. She looked in her mouth and was very concerned about her tonsil size. She thought that it might be hindering her speach a little.)

Okay, so we make the drive up and it takes like 2 hours to get checked in, see the doctor, test her for strep (again) and get the results. No strep (Thank Goodness), but the tonsils are coming out on the 21st of this month. Maddison becomes upset, so I do the best to calm her down, get the kids in the car and head for home.

So we barely get on the freeway in Bountiful and I notice that the road is really bad. It's loud and bumpy and my car just feels weird. Then I think hmmmm, maybe I have a flat tire. (I've never had one before so I don't know what that feels like.) So I pull over and sure enough it's completely flat.

Well, those of you who know me, I like to be prepared. I am a AAA member and this is the fourth time this year I have called them, so that membership has totally paid for itself. So, I call AAA, they send someone out and I am feeling pretty calm and just trying to entertain the kids. We're sitting there waiting as cars and trucks are whizzing by a lot closer than I am comfortable with when we hear a LOUD thud and the tiny sounds of glass cracking into a thousand pieces. I look behind me and a passing truck has kicked up a rock (Later detemined to be a smidge smaller than the size of a golf ball,) and Smashed my whole window. At that point there is a football size hole in my rear window and it is slowly chipping off and becoming bigger.

So next, I call highway patrol, and as I am on the phone with them a patrol officer shows up. He walks up to passenger window to see what's going on and when I tell him what happened he's a little blown away. He offers to stay behind me to defer traffic and I graciously accept.

I figured it could have been worse and count myself lucky that we made it home in one piece. I got the tire replaced last night and the windshield replaced this afternoon. So we are all put back together and are glad that yesterday is over.

Scentsy Blog

In an effort to keep my scentsy business seperate from my blog, I have created a different blog that is dedicated to all things Scentsy. If you click on the the Scentsy logo on my sidebar, it will take you to that site.

There you will find a list of my current inventory, what the monthly special is, as well as be able to enter contests and see any specials I am offering! It's a great site to win free weekly drawings, so bookmark it and go there weekly to see what I have going on!

This Week

This monster at Gardner village was REALLY Scary!

I took Maddi and Wyatt to see Leroy the pig at HeeHaw Farms. It was a blast as it is every year. If you've never seen Leroy the pig, go check it out. You'll see what I am referring to. He's a very Manly pig.

Forgive Durden: Razia's Shadow, A Musical

Okay, SO I am totally promoting this album just released today. It's awesome! My sister's (both Sister's) are really good friends with the Thomas Dutton, The writer and Producer of this album. I am blown away by his talent. His Brother did most of the Orchestra parts incorporated, but Thomas wrote the music and the story. Check it out. If you love music, you'll love this. I especially love: "The Missing Piece" and "It's True Love", well, because I'm a girl and aren't we all romantic in the end? I also love: "The Spider and the Lamp" and "The Doctor".
The website is
