Danger Roy Robinson! Danger!
If only we had a robot to let us know that we are in dangerous waters. I am speaking of the implosion of the American way as we knew it. BO, is now, finally, coming out and letting the world know just who he really is. The talk is now the changes he is going to make using his executive orders to make policy changes without congress. I hope this backfires. His first goal is to declare himself God, and then walk on water! j/k. No, he wants to "fix" the policies that GW put into place and to move faster he is going to us the executive order. What is BO planning? Well he is planning on becoming a imperialist President. We have not had an imperialist President since FDR. But this will all change, and BO is good for it. Because Change for Change's sake is what he knows best. There, I am now done for today.

How You Can Help
If you feel this election wasn't an honest one that has elected a candidate that is constitutionally eligible to be POTUS, I strongly encourage you to go to http://www.democratic-disaster.com and find out what you can do to help. Since most of you live in ID and UT that will vote for McCain in the electoral college, find your friends who didn't support BO in other states and get them involved. It will tell you what steps to take at this website. I will be working on my involvement over the weekend here in FL.

Stuff that really does not matter........
I would like to be able to post on the Fabulous Foster Four... Please add me. Plus if the admin that created the blog list that does not include grungeon.com please add it and remove the grungeon list. Apparently only the admin that created the blog list can add to it. Or you can leave it just like it is and not worry. I am going to try to post more on grungeon.com so maybe you will learn something you did not know before.

Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest. There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed. For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not, The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts, In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death, But celebrate my life.

My Lucky Day
For those of you who don't read my family blog, here is my post about my lucky day. Betcha wish you had one of these occasionally? Maybe you do have them and you should share them by BLOGGING MORE!!! For those of you who do read my blog, sorry about the repeat. It was just too good of a day not to spread it far and wide.
My Lucky Day
Yesterday was officially my lucky day. I am counting on this luck continuing into today ushering in a McCain/Palin victory.
My first order of business after dropping the oldest three at school was to head to the church for the official start of yoga. I will be teaching 2 yoga classes a week for anyone who wants to attend. I only had 3 show up, but one was so grateful that she brought me a warm plate of brownies "for FHE. I appreciate you spending your morning here for us, so I know you won't have time to bake anything for FHE so I wanted to bring something for your family." How sweet. I'm still eating them this morning. Yummy.
After yoga class I headed to Sam's Club to stock up. My kids really like their pork loin marinated in portabello mushroom and something. It sells for $3.87 a pound. While looking through the selection I noticed a number of them marked at $1.88 a pound. Strange. I knew it had to be a mistake, but loaded up on 5 or 6 and headed to the checkout lane. I notified the clerk that this price was probably wrong (part of my obsessive need to be brutally honest at all times) and asked her to check it. She called over the supervisor and sure enough, they had been tagged with the assorted pork chops price. However, they honored the price on the sticker so that I paid $23 for pork loins that should've cost me over $60. Wow. How lucky can one get? Obviously it wasn't everyone's lucky day.
As I was checking out I received a frantic phone call from Wade stating that he had ONCE AGAIN locked his keys in his car, could I please come rescue him. (This happens quite routinely with Wade. Maybe I should by him one of those grandpa/janitor belt key clippy things that keep your keys safely attached to your pants?) When I told him it would be 1/2 hour because I was in a different city he was irate. "Why are you in Lakeland? You should just shop in Winter Haven!!!" Well, yes that would an option IF WINTER HAVEN HAD A COSTCO OR SAMS CLUB!!!! Sorry. Back to my story. After rescuing Wade, I headed to my local gun shop.
Yes, you read that correctly, my local gun shop. I have been wanting to buy a semi-automatic rifle now for a few months and decided to take matters into my own hands since Wade hasn't had the time to shop around with me. I had talked with this particular gun shop owner a few times in the past week. He had a good idea of what I was looking for, since I really didn't. I am now the proud owner of a Ruger, Mini 14, semi-automatic, .223 gauge ranch rifle with a 30 round ammo clip. (Now all I need to do is learn how to load and shoot the damn thing.) Back to my lucky day. When I was looking at the rifle the owner told me it would be $399. Fine. I could do that. As he was writing it up he looks at me and says, "wow. This is your lucky day. I told you $399. The tag says it is actually $499." I look at the tag, sure enough, $499. "Okay," I said, "I'll pay you the actual price." "No, no. I told you $399. That's what you'll pay." I made up the difference in ammo. Firing range, here I come.
I was sorely tempted to press my luck and make a quick stop at a local car dealer to see if I could get my promised Ferrari for a Camry price

Our pumkins
I know its a little late but we lost our camera and I had to find the software to get the pictures off of my phone. But I would say that this pumpkin is the best. Absolutly 100% carved by my kids.
These other two were carved by me but designed by the kids. We also found a pumpkin that was too hard to carve. I spent ten minutes trying to cut the top open and only got a quarter way around and this is with cutco knives. The kids painted that one.

We wanted to enter a carved pumpkin for the contest...well I did at least, but never got around to it. Is it normal to carve pumpkins after Halloween is over? Maybe I'll carve a turkey into it and leave it up for Thanksgiving...
Here we are on Halloween. We haven't posted on this blog in so long I thought you might want to see our bright shiny faces - even if the both of us did forget to shave that day.
Hello to the Parentals out there
M&D
Where've you been? I've emailed you but haven't heard back and you haven't called me for awhile now. How are you doing?
