Politics – oh hum…

My political juices just don’t seem to be flowing for me at the moment. Maybe it’s because the day to day stress of being a mom of many, homemaker, homeschooler, medical transcriptionist, wife, chaufer and everything else put the reality of the next election on the back burner…way back burner!

Yesterday on the 4Reallearning Forum which I participate on and consider a sort of home and safe haven, had a poster on their geared up to defend the honorable Senator Obama and worse, took what I considered a swipe at Jill Stanek. Ugh… I had a visceral reaction. “Not here”, I thought. “Not on these boards!”

Luckily I know the moderators are not going to tolerate an all out discussion and debate which is a good thing.

One of my daily liberal mom blogs got all political on me today too and other than providing information that birth control pills are abortifacient, I declined reading or commenting on the rest of it. My head’s not in the game yet. I’ve got bigger problems.

It seems that my son Sam and our neighborhood girl are now a couple. i saw it coming all summer and now according to Sam and his friends, it’s official. They are going out, (although they really aren’t “going” anywhere. Kids just use that term to mean they’re a couple. They’re going steady.) What complicates or simplifies this situation is that they live within walking distance of each other. Gee whiz I just got use to Calvin dating and practically living with his girlfriend’s family and now Sam.

So I had Sam run some errands with me and I had a little talk with him. We talked about all of the chastity stuff and he reiterated to me all of the things he got out of the youth conference at Steubenville. I talked about how even with these summer romances people can get hurt and that they both need to make sure they are living their lives, pursuing their activities and being focused on other stuff like their studies. I think I made an impression.

Luckily, these two are part of a group and the group tends to surround them (all five of them went to the mall today) but I also talked about not being alone and that the physical part of a relationship can move really quickly if you’re not careful.

It was a good talk. But I’m going to be watching them all like a hawk for the last few days of summer!
