A Question of Ethics

For the most part, I keep my blog light and avoid "deep" issues. This is done purposely because I feel you rarely can change someone's deep convictions.

The forum, that I continue to read in spite of my best efforts not to, thrives on volatile issues. Today I read something that was truly shocking & disturbing to me.

An AP of an older child apparently hired an investigator to research the child's "true" background. Apparently what she learned led her to return to Ethiopia an attempt to return the child. The child's family gave her permission to keep her in the US.

I don't know what any of you would do in this situation but as for me, they would have to pry Gracie from my cold dead hands to take her away from me. And that's all I have to say about that.

The First Dance

Just in case you haven't seen it yet. Hee Hee

Ditto B. Ditto

I love Beyonce and thought she did an awesome job last night serenading the First Couple. Of course the town crier (me) couldn't stop the tears.

Yes, that is our President and his First Lady!

You can just feel his love for her. African American women are not often portrayed as being beautiful, smart and worthy of complete adoration. Mr. President, thank you for doing just that. I'm crying again, oh geez

This Day

My heart is so full right now, I cannot finds the words to express my joy. On this day, like so many others, I am so proud to be an American. I love this picture of our President Obama and the First Lady Michelle's hands. She is his rock. Beautiful

Gracie and I marked the occasion by wearing pearls in our of our First Lady.

This is my poor baby looking at her momma screaming, crying and praising God to the top of my longs. Poor baby I hope I didn't do any permanent psychological damage LOL.

HAPPY HAPPY DAY

I am just dancing around in a circle, I'M SO EXCITED. I hope I can hold onto myself until my beloved President is sworn in. It feels like Christmas on steroids!!!!!

Happy Martin Luther King Day

What a joyous MLK Day this is. Dr. King must be in heaven right now doing the happy dance. We are on the eve of GREATNESS!! I've been beside myself all day. I'm so emotional, crying at the drop of a hat everytime I see our President Elect on the screen. It is still so surreal. Tomorrow Gracie and I will have our pearls on in honor of our First Lady Michelle Obama, I encourage everyone to do the same. Barack makes me want to be a better citizen, mom, human. I will strive not to disappoint him. One more day........

Outdoor Matinee

We went to an outdoor showing of Kung Fu Panda on Saturday. It was so much fun. We had another unseasonably warm night so the weather was perfect. Gracie had fun running around before the movie started and watched the show intently (for awhile) after it started.

What ever happened to drive in theatres? Boy how I miss those. When I was young my teenage brothers and sister would sneak me into the drive-in hidden under a blanket. Fun times.
