Tomorrow morning Ellen, Dad, and I leave for a two week worldview camp [Summit] in Manitou Springs, Colorado. I'm excited to leave, be in the mountains, and become equipped for whatever the future holds. I know the next two week will be filled with fun, learning [70 hours of classroom!], new friendships, and many surprises! Pray for safe travels, and eagerness to learn. I'm sure I'll have many updates for you when I get back.
Although Mother's Day is over a mother's work is never done. I'm sure moms everywhere can relate to this comic although true rendition of the day in the life of a mother.

You must understand something. I don't cook. A few months ago Mom left for a few days. After eating pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner I was eager to eat something else. So one morning I made, or attempted to make, pancakes. Easy, right? Not so much. Not one turned out. They were either gooey or burnt.
Cooking has never really been my thing. But this past Thursday Mom asked me to make supper. She was rushed, tired, and stressed. The last thing she wanted to do was make dinner. Without thinking I blurted out, "YES, I'd love to make supper!" A second later she was gone and I stood in the kitchen thinking... "What had a I gotten myself into?"
In the end, much to my disbelief, everything turned out! I don't think any cooking adventure of mine has ever turned out so well! The meal was a sucess.
My one mistake. Forgetting to take the butter off the hot stove! Half of it melted before I noticed it.
Our family loves games. Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble, Cards, Checkers, Phase 10, Apples to Apple, the list goes on and on. We have a game closet in the basement and it's continually overflowing! A year ago, our friends brought over a game called Bananagrams. Not long after playing we were hooked! We bought it for Mom on Mothers Day, and since then have played it during many family game nights. The game is a cross between scrabble and a crossword puzzle, but there's speed! I'd highly reccomend buying this game! For all you facebookers out there, there is a free online version that you can play solo or with friends!
Mondays are my least favorite day of the week. Maybe because it's the end of sleeping in, no more weekend, the beginning of school, and a schedule. Whatever the case, I always look forward to Fox @ 8:00... 24! I've never been much of a TV show junkie, with the exception of American Idol and The Biggest Loser [Yes, you can make fun of me!]. But this year, the family, except Mom, always goes downstairs with our homework and see how Jack saves the world every week!
Anyone else care to share their TV show addictions?
I recently heard about this piece of legislation that is trying to be passed, it will promote abortion and take away any and all restrictions that are currently exist. Here is a forwarded e-mail I strongly encourage you to read and e-mail or blog to your friends!

Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra (born May 12, 1925) began playing baseball in local American Legion leagues, where he learned the basics of play as a catcher. After rejecting an offer from the St. Louis Cardinals he signed with the New York Yankees in 1942. In addition to being a famous baseball player, Berra is famous for his tendency to malapropism [definition: an act or habit of misusing words ridiculously...] the English language in interesting ways.
For example:
Ellen found this a few weeks ago and shared it with our family. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
Please join me in remembering a great icon. Veteran Pillsbury spokesperson, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died yesterday of a severe yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a slightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, Captain Crunch and many others.
The graveside was piled high with flours as long-time friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who "never knew how much he was kneaded."
Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, even as a crusty old man, he was still considered a roll model for millions.
Toward the end it was thought he'd raise once again, but he was no tart.
Doughboy is survived by his second wife, Play Dough. They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
Basically, people want or have [I'm not sure which] to give Civil Rights to APES in the UK. No Joke! Check out the links below for the entire articles.
