OK enough of this

I have been Uber-Busy.

I am planning the last of Girls Camp for June 9-12th and I have a talk to give on Mothers Day Sunday.
Besides pulling myself out of a PpD state, and spring is here, so I have been trying to get out and do yard work. (It is WAYY too overwhelming!)

SO I am sorry I have not been writing to you (my journal) I am sorry I have not had much of a positive outlook lately. I will focus on being more in control!

I will love my life, like I normally do.

This morning when I went to wake the kids for the day, I saw this:




They were all jumbled into bed together, so funny since 4 beds were sitting empty so that they could all cram into bed together. Love it. Siblings that are angelic (while they are sleeping)

And Eli is so funny, he has a bouncy seat with a globe mirror over the top, he loves laughing at himself and talking to himself.... he is so enthralled by the reflection.

What can we do

As piddly and small as we all feel, there IS something we can do!
Support the Parental Rights Amendment! Here is a brief overview of the PRA, and why it is a good counter solution to the CRC.

SECTION 1
The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right.

SECTION 2
Neither the United States nor any State shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served.

SECTION 3
No treaty may be adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to supersede, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article.

Ask your sate representatives, congress, and etc to SUPPORT the proposed PRA! make the PHONE call TODAY!
