Saturday morning

It is currently 7:02am and I have been up since 4:45am when my husband left for work. I finally got a cold, which has been going around my work. I can not sleep and the only cold medicine I have is NyQuil. I thought about taking that but since we have the kids this weekend they could wake up at any moment and I do not want that groggy feeling. So instead I have decided to do some homework. It is a very peaceful part of the morning. I just checked on the kids and they are all sound asleep. Kaydence, who is 4, sleeps in her own room. We made her room a princess room. She has a 4 foot little mermaid on her wall, princess table and chairs and a princes pink canopy room. Yes, she is very spoiled! Maddox, who is 7, and Jordan, who is 11, share a room. They had bunk beds but wanted separate room so we set one bed on one side of the room and the other bed on the opposite side. They both have their own "walls". They can put whatever they want on the walls as long as it doesn't affect the paint. As I checked on them this morning it warmed my heart to see them sounds asleep and happy. Maddox was coughing so I hope he is not getting sick. Once Brent is home from work we are all going over to Grandma's house! yay :) So for the next hour or so until they wake up I am going to work on this blog, some blog comments and enjoy some peace and quiet! Well mostly quiet, I have to have background noise so I am also watching “That 70’s show” . This show is hilarious and does not distract me from doing homework.

Technology

Technology. It is everywhere. I do not remember the last time I saw someone who did not have a cellphone in their hand or connected to their hip. I am also at fault for this. I use a computer all day at work and have my cell phone right next to me. I am on Facebook numerous times and use my phone to text my hubby at work. After work I usually go online and show things to my husband or talk to my sister. Then I have to use the computer to do homework and research online. Currently my son is on his tablet and it is very hard to get him away from it. He uses it to play games, listen to music, and watch movies.  As a child I had a big ‘ole desk computer in the kitchen that I was only allowed to use now and then. I do not know what I would have done if someone gave me a hand held computer. I probably would never want to put it down, the same way Jordan (my son) believes about his tablet. I guess we, as parents, are to blame for our children being addicted to technology but we want our kids to have more than we do. We want to spoil our kids! I wonder though if we spoil them by giving them all this technology if it will harm them in the long way.  I also wonder how advance the technology our grand kids will be using. I believe we are just one amazing mind away from having flying cars and being able to travel to other planets!

Rant

One of my biggest pet peeves is people who blame the president for every issue that America currently has. A lady I work with does this almost on a daily basis and I finally made a comment that America has been having issues since before Obama took over, after that she did not want to discuss the issue with me anymore. Yes I do think things have changed and maybe for the worse since Obama became president but we cannot single handily blame one person for how the whole county is going. We have been having issues since before Obama and we will have issues after him. Plus people tend to forget that WE voted him into election. If America did not believe in what he stood for then we should have voted separately. There were a TON of people who did not even vote in the past president election. If you choose not to vote then I do not think your opinion on the president should matter. We hold the power to elect the correct person into presidency, we just have to use that power. The other part is that it is not just the president that makes the choices and changes the laws. It also invoices the people that WE elected in the government that voted on the laws as well. I am not very knowledgeable when it the government and how it all works but I know enough that we are the ones that voted the people in the positions they are in. IF we want it to change then we need to change the way we vote.
