Well, greetings from. . .Denver (when I wrote this post this morning. . .not now that I am actually posting it). I know, I’m supposed to be in Texas by now, but yesterday was one interesting day of travel. . .or day of sitting in the Durango airport, I should say. So, we made it all the way to Denver via jet in the same amount of time it would have taken for us to drive to Denver. Hopefully we will make it to Houston and then on to Galveston much quicker this morning!
So, today is going to be my first ever political blog. Don’t worry, no big commentaries on my political opinion or anything. . .just something I’ve been thinking about: this government “almost” shut-down.
For those of you who actually know me, I’m not the counting to three type of mom. My kids know that they have a choice to obey me or not and they are getting the, “one. . .t-t-t-t-t-t-w-w-w-w-w-o-o-o-o-o. . .three” before they can decide if they want to make the right choice. I, personally, just don’t see how that is effective (for me/us). All of that to say, that is what I felt yesterday was with the government. They knew they needed to come to an agreement and when we finally went to bed just before midnight last night, they were still in a deadlock. When we woke up this morning. . .no shut down because they had reached a deal. . .”one. . .t-t-t-t-t-t-w-w-w-w-w-o-o-o-o-o. . .t-t-t-t-t-t-h-h-h-h-h-h-r-r-r-r-r-r. . .”
I’m no government professional and I am in no way trying to make any kind of political statement, it just struck me as funny, really. There you have it. . .my two cents worth on parenting and the government. I sure am glad that the government didn’t shut down (or should I say, go to “time out.”)
Off to Texas. . . . !
