http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/A mid-30's wife and mother who works in the (U.S.) nation's capital - in a highly stressful job. Faced with mounting insecurities daily surrounding human relations challenges and unknowns in a career where foreign affairs knowledge is a necessity; blessed with the gift of 3 wonderful children while trying to juggle their needs; burdened by financial struggles with a house that won't sell, and continously working to feed a strong desire for happiness and success - this weary fighter needs a place to vent!hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/196517Bush actually won the popular vote and the electoral vote. It was still so very close and I know our nation is divided. Thursday, Bush has a cabinet meeting. Will someone resign? Will they discuss changes in positions. Many believe that Colin Powell will retire and that Condoleeza Rice will...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/196049I haven't voted yet this morning. I ran by the elementary school for my morning jog and the lines were very long. I then had a job interview health screening (ridiculous) with the USPS. I've had top secret clearances in my life and haven't gone through this much bureaucratic red tape to get a...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/193524Well, this news broke, of course, yesterday. Since then, there's been much finger pointing over WHO was responsible for securing this stuff. First it was the IAEA who confirmed that they sealed and marked all of these explosives in January of 2003. Next, it was the coalition forces - who invaded...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/192028If these thugs kill this woman - all hope for that country is lost. I realize I am an idealist - but, I for one believe that these men and women have an opportunity RIGHT NOW to develop a country that they could be proud of. Iraqis are allowing these insurgents to ruin that chance. If Hassan's...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/191564Can we afford a first lady like Teraaaaaysa? You can bet if the tables were turned on these two ladies - Mrs. Kerry's comments wouldn't be so wonderfully kind. See the wire story below? AP-Laura Bush Laura Bush says no apology needed NEW LONDON, N.H. (AP) -- Laura Bush says Teresa Heinz Kerry...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/191146Today, THK answered a question about how she'd be different from Laura Bush. I know that Mrs. Bush worked as a public school teacher as an adult as well as a librarian as an adult. Apparently, Mrs. Kerry didn't think that was 'working.' Question: You'd be different from Laura Bush? Answer: Well,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/190792Last night my husband and I tried an experiment. Usually our evenings are so hectic with us trying to watch the news and stay up to date on the latest in the presidential race while feeding the kids, directing bath and homework, and having our much needed r & r. Well, we simply turned the damn TV...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/190185Daily interaction with others probably is our greatest challenge each day. I know that's the area that always hurt the most in school - the teasing, the off-the-cuff comments that could cut like a knife were always the things I'd run home to mom crying over. Now, even in adulthood, those still...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/188905Why would he do that? Regardless of political affiliation, as a parent - that sickened me. You don't bring up the personal sex life and sexual orientation of an opponent's running-mate's daughter!!! Low Blow. "You just shove it!" as his wife would say.... SHOVE IT!http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/The_crisis_in_YOU_NAME_IT/188501This morning as I drove by the Iwo Jima memorial I noticed four tour busses with tourists pouring off. There was a driver standing at the door of one of the big busses with his hand out stretched palm up extending support to the elderly women as they descended the final step. On the radio, Elton...
