Clarification on my Opinion

The strangest thing (for me) has happened. Apparently there are people out there that have nothing better to do with their time than to google Chaffetz name and post opinions on other people's blog posts about the subject. Since I posted my OPINION a few days ago, I have probably received 5 emails from people trying to convince me that what I read, heard, and quoted from Chaffetz site was a misrepresentation of his policy ideas. Let me just say that I went directly to Chaffetz personal web site to get quotes. I read through his immigration ideas and listened to the radio broadcasts that he had on his site in order to make sure that I did not misquote him. I'm glad that people like him. That is the beauty of our country, freedom of speech. I however, upon researching, am not impressed with this man. Did I say you should not vote for him? No. if he matches your values than by all means, go for it. But be informed. That is the theme of my post. Ok, yes I have an opinion as well, and I used my freedom of speech to voice it. But more than my opinion I just want people to research this man and quite frankly all the candidates before they go to vote in a few weeks.

Done. Finished. I might not post a political opinion again. :o) Or maybe I will. Hee hee hee.

To comment on the comment above, the problem is, people can be downright rude if they disagree. It's like there's some unspoken rule that all tact goes out the window if someone should happen to have a different political opinion than you. It's hard to separate your personal feelings from a blog at times and not be offended when someone rips into you about a post.

Becky, I'm glad you wrote your clarification and that you are choosing to stick with your opinion!

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.

Loving Moments

I had one of the most tender moments as a mother the other day. Somehow, as our family was sitting around the kitchen table talking, we got on the subject of who we would like to meet when we die. We all felt like there isn't anybody famous that we would even care to meet. We then started talking about biblical people. I said I would like to meet Noah, or Captain Moroni. I was sure that I am not the only one that wants to meet them, I'm sure they will be inundated with people wanting to meet them! Then Andrew got very solemn. He got very emotional as he said he would like to meet his Heavenly Mother. He then looked at me and said, if she was more amazing and glorious than me that he couldn't even imagine how incredible meeting her would be. He cried, I cried and we hugged a gentle, loving, mom and son hug.

day one.down for the count.

So in my typical fashion, I put a plan into action and then immediately have to deal with the changing of said plan. I went to bed dizzy last night hoping it was nothing and that it would pass as I slept. No such luck, this morning I got up and didn't stay up. So, three movies later I sit here on the couch with the best laid plans laid to rest. I was going to get up early, make breakfast, get dressed before 10, and send my honey off with a kiss and looks of devotion. Instead...Mark got up and I slept in, finally got up in time to stumble down the stairs, see the first set of kids off to school, and plant myself on the couch for the rest of the day. Mark gave me a kiss on his way out the door and instead of looks of devotion I had eyes welling with tears. Great day huh? Luckily I don't have any plans for today. Tomorrow isn't too bad, I don't have many responsibilities, but Friday I have an important photo shoot. This dizzy thing better go away!!!
