Do You See What I Am Dealing With Here?

Check out what I found in Conor's science book.

Poor Poor Pitiful Me.


Regina wasn't happy about being put up for a nap. She screamed and yelled for quite a while. When all fell silent, I crept up to retrieve a schoolbook and to put a blanket on her little bare feet.

I found her sleeping like this, sitting up in a crumpled heap in the corner of her crib.

Peek-a-boo!

BOYCOTT BLACK FRIDAY.

I am single-handedly trying to start a grass roots movement to opt out of the madness that Black Friday has become.  If you also think that it's just a ploy by merchants to get people out and spending, it's the most blatant display of consumerism and greed imaginable, and completely contrary to the spirit of Christmas, then I encourage you to spread the word.  

As if Black Friday hasn't already grown into monstrous proportions, as if it doesn't reach new depths of violence and greed each year, now the trend is to begin the shopping on Thanksgiving Day, a day traditionally reserved for family and thankfulness. 

It isn't a popular position to take up, but people trampling each other at 4 a.m. over a two-hundred-dollar laptop or the latest toy (which will be forgotten a few weeks after Christmas) is NOT the meaning of preparing for Christmas. Just Google "Black Friday fight" and you will  find hundreds of examples of greed, violence, and selfishness.  This is not what we were created to be.

Let's take back the holiday and remake it into what it was meant to be, one family at a time.  Speak out!
