Politics

I know, I know, you are probably sick of hearing about politics, but too bad. This is my blog and I can write about whatever I want!

Did you know there is more than just the Republican and Democrat parties? You probably do, but think the people who support the other parites were just wierdos. Ok, so maybe I am, but I think you all should take a serious look at the Libertarian Party. It's the 3rd largest political party in the United States. Their views and philosophies make complete sense to me. I honestly believe our country has gotten so far off track from what everyone really wants it to be, but noone knows how to fix it.

Seriously, go to www.lp.org then click on"our party" then choose "issues". From there, choose whatever issue you are interested in. Let me know what you think. I really believe it is time for a revolution in America, and as likeable as Obama is, I don't think he is the man to do it. I believe it will take several years for this "revolution" to take place, and as most other things, the change will be gradual.

Utah is as red a state as they come. I'm going to vote Libertarian this year because I know Utah is going to end up choosing the Republican candidate anyway (for President).

Plus, I'm all about choices. I HATE that only 2 parties (Republican and Democrat) get all the publicity and support. The Libertarian party (and no doubt other parties as well) work hard to try and get publicity, but the media is pretty closed off to the idea of including them.

Lazy Parents

Wow, I feel like a lazy parent. I can always tell when I've been slacking on my parenting. It's sort of like a vicious cycle. The kids act great for awhile, so I start letting them get away with stuff because, hey, they're great kids. Then they start taking total advantage of me and working the system. Then I get frustrated because they turn into little hooligans, teasing, hitting, destroying, and yelling at each other and me.

This is the sign of lazy parenting. By the time this happens, I am just too tired to discipline them. Once it gets to this point, it seems they are in their room constantly.

Last night Anden went to his room for something (I don't even remember what). The next thing I know Anden has pushed the screen out of his window and has climbed outside! What EVER made him think he could get away with something like that?! Lazy parenting I tell you, lazy parenting.

The good thing is that the kids are generally good for other people. At school and for babysitters they really are well behaved kids, which I am VERY thankful for.

But seriously, aside from all that, I feel very blessed to have these wonderful 4 little boys in my life. They teach me so many things every day. I just hope I can live worthy to be their mother!
