I hate to say this but....

As the wife of a Radiologist you might be a bit surprised to "hear" me say this but.... The Susan G. Komen Foundation has received so much money that they don't know what to do with it. Evidently they felt the need to give thousands of dollars to planned parenthood agencies every year. I, myself, am a supporter of pro-life. One of the ironies of this foundation donating funds is that there has been proven research that having an abortion increases the risk of having breast-cancer. I just needed to get that off my breast (pun-intended). If you feel the need to support the breast-cancer research coalition there are a few strictly research based foundations. I would recommend doing your homework. Personally, I avoid that pink little ribbon.

Los Angeles, CA (LifeNews.com) -- A Susan G. Komen Foundation affiliate in California is the latest to send hundreds of thousands of dollars to the nation's largest abortion business. The money is going to Planned Parenthood even though research confirms abortion increases a woman's risk of contracting breast cancer.

Laughter is the best medicine.

As you know per an earlier post I have been experiencing a little "Joylessness." One of my new friends here in town told me she tells herself "it is a great day to be me," to cheer herself up! Bailee had a hard day at school this past Monday. Tuesday I took the kids to school, she is the last drop- off and I thought I'd start her day off right and hand-down a bit of that advice I'd received. As she was stepping out the car door, I said "IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE BAILEE!!!" No sooner had those words left my mouth and my sweet second grader was on her bum under the car. She had slipped on the ice. Her response after she crawled out from under the car.... "yeah right mom" and slammed the door! It didn't ruin her day. As she walked away I saw a tiny curl of her lips as she thought about the irony of it all.

I have another friend in town who has introduced our family to the hilarious clean comedy of Brian Regan. They let us borrow his DVD and he is sooo funny! Riley had been watching some of his clips on youtube even before we watched it. If you are looking for some clean family entertainment this holiday season I highly recommend it. I was also curious about what your favorite funny movies are. Do tell...

Girls Just Want To Have Fun!

This past Saturday I went to the Republican Women's Christmas Tea. I had no idea it would be such fun! The more established, experienced women had a meeting first then we had tea and coffee and finger sandwiches. We even used real plates and silverware, not plastic! The less established, less experienced women stayed late to have a clean-up "party". And party we did! We even got to play in the hostess' closet and try on her furs!! We decided that if you live in Montana each woman should be issued at least one!!! Maybe that will be on next month's business agenda? Probably not!!!
