As the holidays get closer, I get more and more anxious to be at home with my family. I miss them all the time, but there's something about Thanksgiving and Christmas that makes me want to be home even more. I am so blessed to have the family that I have. They all mean the absolute world to me. Being away, I feel like I'm missing out on so much even though nothing major is going on. It's the little things that I miss, like seeing the excitement in my nieces eyes when they light up the Christmas tree on the Plaza or going to Weihnachtsmarkt with my mom to look at all the neat stuff or helping my mom and dad put up the Christmas tree even though we hate doing it. Once it's up though, it's so worth all the time it took to untangle the lights!!! There's nothing like driving in the driveway and seeing the Christmas tree though the window!
It's ironic that growing up, all you can think about is how bad you want to leave home and move out on your own, but once you're grown all you can think about is getting back home.
Just a few thoughts about family and holidays. I'm feeling a little nostalgic right now!!!

Racist Shmacist
Just a quick thought before I got to bed... I'm so tired, but I have to get it off my chest. On Facebook, I'm a member of the Patriots Only, Please page and follow it quite closely. I've never posted anything on it until today. There was a post on the wall from an older lady explaining how in love with America she was and how we needed to stop the present administration from ruining Old Glory. I was touched by what she said because I too, feel the same way. So, feeling the need to bond with my fellow patriots, I commented on her post, telling her that I cry (in a good way) everytime I sing the National Anthem and that our country and what is stands for is too precious to be flushed down the toilet. To my surprise, I received a tongue lashing (or would it be a type lashing?) full of explicatives about how we were all racist this and rednecks that. This particular fellow did not hold back.
Here's my thing... I don't feel it's necessary to sit here and talk about how much I dislike Obama and his czars because that becomes the problem and not the solution, so I try to keep on the positive, speaking out about how much I love this country and how it was built to withstand time on core Christian values and principles, but... when someone calls me a racist, I don't take it very well. Part of me didn't even want to respond to this guy, because anyone with a brain could tell by his comment that he really didn't have a pot to tinkle in when it came to his side of the arguement, but I am so sick and tired of being labled a racist just because I can see this administration for what it is and how detrimental it is to our country.
After mulling over this for half of today, it hit me... I think people who voted for and support Obama are finally realizing that they made a huge mistake. In order to save face they figure they can just call all of us racists because we didn't vote for him. I really don't see any other leg they have to stand on. It's almost comical, If you listen to conservative radio or monitor sites like Patriots Only, everytime a liberal Obama supporter gets backed into a corner, they immediately throw the race card... like it's a completely legitimate defense. I'm laughing as I'm typing this, by the way. Do they really think that conservative America is really that shallow and stupid and that we don't realize that they skirt the issue EVERY single time someone is called on the carpet!! Do they not think that we realize how bias the media has become. Do they not think that we are not smart enough to see that the helthcare reform is going to be disasterous? Well I guess not since we're all racist rednecks living in the 1800's!!!!
I know I have said it in previous posts, but for the love of God and Country... I AM NOT A RACIST! I SIMPLY DO NOT BELIEVE THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS THE SKILLS OR SMARTS TO BE LEADING THIS COUNTRY. I DON'T CARE IF HE'S RED OR YELLOW, BLACK OR WHITE. HE'S IS LEADING THIS COUNTRY DOWN THE WRONG PATH AND I AM EXERCISING MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!!
** And for the record... I didn't vote for the All Whitey McCain because I didn't support his ideas either!
I feel a little better now. Off to bed.
