It's too depressing. There are some things I just don't want to talk about.<br />We get assistance from the government because my son has autism. This assistance helps pay for special programs and equipment that we use for him. Now we won't get those checks anymore.<br />I understand your anger.

Your family will be in our prayers... Don't even get me started on Dayton... and there's no end in sight yet, is there? We all knew his proposed 'solution' would be to raise taxes. Craziness.<br /><br />The fish looks so amazing - I can almost taste it! yum.<br /><br />Loved your butterfly painting... the face you made with that coconut treatment... your strawberry drinks... your mailbox... and your new header picture! So cute! <br /><br />Hey, if this takes a while to settle, next month you all can come live with us...<br />Blessings!Lori N from MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613550121245331000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-27847159304909014222011-07-08T21:31:00.526-05:002011-07-08T21:31:00.526-05:00I had so much fun reading this post!

As you've helped us so many times before, let me know if I can do anything for you!<br /><br />I loved how the butterfly pictures, painted rocks and tshirt turned out. My girls would beg me to let them make the butterfly canvases if they see your pics. Maybe once our house is back to normal? I think we'll do the rocks this week.<br /><br />Everytime I look at my mailbox I think of you! I am still in the process of making it pretty, but it's almost there! I like yours, especially when you have those climbing morning glories.<br /><br />I got a real giggle from the Diete Coke! But that fish looks the most delicious! I guess it's a good thing you can cook it and not get sick from the smell.<br /><br />Congrats Jamie on making it to 12 weeks. I bet that feels so good. I'm at 8, hoping the nausea will go away around 14. I'll pray you get a break soon! But I like you're thought that sick=growing baby.<br /><br />Hope we can talk again soon! Until then, hugs to your whole family.Melissa @ Homegrown Catholicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516985976368072331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-42914490129896762232011-07-08T21:21:05.178-05:002011-07-08T21:21:05.178-05:00Adding you to my daily St. Joseph prayers.

Love your new patriotic header...kids are adorable in their red, white, and blue! I know what you mean about missing a husband away. I've had a lot of that lately. I find it comforting to pray for single parents while he's gone.

Some how there needs to be less spending. Some how people cannot retire at the age of 50 and get so many benefits. I do not want my taxes raised so someone else can have free child care. (i read the paper and there was a huge article about all the daycare providers being affected by this also.) <br />I have family members not working at this time also. This totally is Daytons fault. Whatever you read in the liberal papers or on TV is slanted. We do live in a very liberal state.<br /><br />Love the french coke....how cool is that!<br /><br />Great pic. of your face and icky stinky stuff in the hair. Glad that is done.

They are anxiously awaiting a decision in the government.<br />On a smaller scale, I also missed the rest stops being opened when I recently traveled up there.<br /><br />So happy that Baby is doing well. Can't wait to hear more. :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168808776950608457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-6987348305927146582011-07-08T14:07:48.851-05:002011-07-08T14:07:48.851-05:00I am so sorry your husband's job is effected b...I am so sorry your husband's job is effected by this shutdown. Every night in the news there seems to be another story about the many losses this is causing. Fishing licensees, tourism, the MHS sites, state parks, etc. So many day-to-day needs as well as destinations mostly used in the summer. Very frustrating.queen of the castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01380202178477553248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-69715918420661443192011-07-08T13:23:36.732-05:002011-07-08T13:23:36.732-05:00I will keep you in my prayers for the government t...I will keep you in my prayers for the government to start again. I didn't realize you husband was effected so greatly. When the U.S. government shut down, there were many people around here who were effected because just about everyone who works in D.C. works for the government! Thankfully it only lasted a very short time. <br /><br />Seriously, what's up with the MN liberals?? You would think the down home people would be more conservative. and don't get me started on all the liberal Catholics in MN! It's like they congregate there. <br /><br />Anyway, that butterfly canvas is so cute. <br />God Bless!Sarah Harkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064673794877417232noreply@blogger.com
