Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. ~~Marianne Williamson

Hmmmm, on the interesting news front, Michele Obama shops at Target. What is there not to love about that? Plus, when shopping for a dress to wear on the View, she only spends $112! I wonder if she shops the clearance end caps at Target?

To many weird things in the news lately. I think I will leave it alone this week. Instead, you'll read some grandbaby news.

I'm not a fan of instant messaging, but it does have it's moments, like when I sign on and there is my son, in Iraq, and I get to have a conversation with him, and know he's ok for another day. Then there are the conversations where one person needs to just type away till they feel better. This is a conversation I just finished with my daughter-in-law and Drue (almost 3) who is at Fort Polk, LA while husband/my son is in Iraq. She's been having a bad week but she shared this with me. I am debbro (and this is long because of the cut and paste):


 

debbro: at least your son isn't making himself balloon boobies

joy: not yet

joy: he don't know how

joy: he is captain underpants

joy: i told you that right

debbro: no, you haven't

joy: imagine it is 6 am

joy: and he wakes me up

joy: Drue: good mornin' I woke up!

joy: runs off

joy: scamper scamper

joy: gone

joy: coffee is done

joy: ding

joy: good for me

joy: I pour my first cup, it is always the best

joy: ok drue lets go out on the porch and sit on the swing

joy: by now it is about 6:15

joy: I'm cold

joy: well, he gives me a blankie

joy: Drue: I wanna cape

joy: ok, tie it on

joy: still not awake, Me

joy: I take a sip of the gooooooood coffee

joy: and try to awaken myself

joy: lets go out now

joy: ok

joy: running to the door

joy: out on the porch.......

joy: i am sitting on the swing drinking away

joy: i look up at the cars going by

joy: it is a busy morning i notice

joy: why the hell is everyone looking over here laughing?

joy: I wonder

joy: and wonder

joy: I look

joy: to see

joy: Drue

joy: is standing on the front steps to the house in his cape pulled over his head

joy: standing in the peter pan stance

joy: hands on hips and all

joy: proudly with shoulders held high and cape thrown back

joy: he is captain underpants

joy: smiling away

joy: showing all he has to the world

joy: wow

joy: I think

joy: as I take the last of my coffee and drink it all down quickly

joy: wow

joy: ok, d-man lets go in and finish this getting dressed thing

joy: OK!!!

joy: seriously

joy: it happened just like that

debbro: the underpants weren't on his head were they?

joy: cape was

joy: undies in butt

joy: just like captain underpants

debbro: that is freaking funny

joy: I swear it was the funniest thing I have ever seen

joy: it is

joy: I will embarrass him with that for as long as I am breathing

debbro: somewhere in this house I have a captain underpants book

joy: there is something called captain underpants?

debbro: yep

joy: wow

joy: I thought it was a d-man exclusive

debbro: its a book. I'll look for the book

joy: I wish I would have had it on video

joy: it would have won us money

debbro : i know, we all need camcorders

joy: it was something unforgettable the way he was standing and the proud look on his face

joy: mixed with the smile

joy: wow

debbro: that is a moment to cherish. I wish i could have seen it

joy: and it was all in the look on peoples faces as they were driving by

joy: comical

joy: ok, i feel better

debbro : good!

joy: 'seriously

joy: wow

joy: I do hate it here

joy: it is overwhelming at times though

debbro: I understand. I hated Florida the same way

debbro: 6 or 7 more months he'll be home

 

The other day Joy sent me an e-mail with another conversation she had with Drue and this one made me cry:

I went in to check on drue about 10 min after I had him lay down, he tells me, lay down.  I do with him.  he puts my head on the pillow, says go to sleep, I said ok, pretend snoring...... he says, I WAKE UP!  I said good morning, but Im sleeping, still snoring...

 a conversation with our super sweet baby boy. 

 

Me: I want his daddy home too. Amen!!!!

Dear Debbie! I just now saw your new WEEKLY READER! WOW! You are an amazing and wonderful woman. TIM RUSSERT was one of a kind--a journalist who really told it like it is, and let everyone of his guests do the same. I really cried when I put on MSNBC yesterday and heard the terrible news.Where is justice? I suggest you watch Keith Olbermann's show "Countdown," on MSNBC Monday - Friday first showing at 8PM (at least in New York). Keith has the same sense of integrity as did Tim and I think you'll get tremendous emotional satisfaction watching his show. It's a most unusual news program.

Your anger about Fox News treatment of Michelle Obama is so incredibly justified. RIGHT ON! But hey, FOX news never pretended to be pro-democracy (despite their protestations to the contrary). Their editorial policy is vile and racist. They can't even pretend to be an objective news station. The word "fascist" comes to mind. And it's not a word I like to use lightly. However, I can't think of a better definition for them at the moment.

Debbie keep on writing! Your words clearly express your heart, and everything you say is said so beautifully. Love, Ilene
