Bedrest Funny Pages

Talking to boy child about why he has completed so little academic work this week:

Dad: Would you please explain why you didn't do any history reading or writing?

Boy: I can't sit still and read like that and I really can't sit still to write.

Mom: Well, would like to watch the Teaching Company videos and write on those instead?

Boy: (Rolling his  eyes) You so don't get it! You have no idea how hard it is to sit still for 45 whole minutes!

Mom: Well, actually...

Girls Playing House

Mary Beth: C'mon Katie, I'll play babies with you.

Katie: OK! Let's play like you're the mom and you're on bedrest. You have to get in bed and you have to be on your side and you can't get up. Those are the rules.

Mary Beth: (after climbing into bed) Oh my gracious! Look at all the stuff on the floor. Hurry! Pick it up. It's driving me nuts. 

Sarah Palin is called to answer an unique need

“One could say that incase of need, every normal and healthy woman is able to hold a position. And there is no profession which cannot be practiced by a woman.” St. Teresa Benedicta

I cannot think of a more critical time than now to turn our country's attention to the plight of the babies not yet born and particularly, to those with special needs. The world of prenatal expertise advocates daily for the quick murder of children who are deemed unworthy to live among us by a world being enveloped by encroaching darkness. Perhaps there is no one who could be such a courageous, compelling advocate for the least of these as a mother of a newborn baby with Down syndrome.She spoke passionately for these children in front of a secular audience. She was clear and direct about their Creator and about our responsibility. She was a breath of fresh air in a world where God is rarely mentioned except for the compulsory "God Bless America."

I'm not just a one issue voter...

Actually, I've already voted. Mike sent for my absentee ballot about five seconds after I was admitted to the hospital. But, clearly, there's another issue where Obama's position is nearly as scary as his position on the sanctity of life. I'm no expert, but I do put some stock (no pun intended) in the educated opinion of 100 economists.

Way More Creative than a Yard Sign

Our neighborhood doesn't allow yard signs. But, in the last week before the election, I'm pretty sure these would attract some attention and make a rather creative statement. I'm also pretty sure that one cannot carve pumpkins whilst laying on her side. But Mike could do it...Patterns for all the candidates here.

This is pretty scary...

Watch and listen to this ... one of our Senatorial candidates, Mark Warner, accusing Christians, right-to-lifers, homeschoolers, and gun owners as "threatening to what it means to be an American."
