First of firsts

This is my first entry into the world of blogging. If you're looking for fancy, you won't find it here. But maybe, just maybe, creativity will flow forth and I'll even surprise myself. Um, who am I kidding. I got a "D" in art class in elementary school and since then have only been self-conscience about my art skills.


I can ramble in my own blog, can't I? Hence the title. I use these little things ( ) a lot when I write.


I am a conservative. A true blue republican conservative. Not looking to fight about it!!! Especially in this political season. I just want to say what I believe, have intelligent dialogue, disagreements (if they are polite), and generally agree to disagree if that is the case. By the way, that last one can save a lot of marriages. Agree to disagree. Let's just agree to disagree. I think it sort of lends itself to respectful communication. I like respectful communication.


HHmmm, a bit more about me. In our house, the "s" word is either shutup or stupid. The "d" word is dumb. I like to say I have a "G" rated house. At times that is not true but most times it is true. I have a 7 and a 5 year old in the house. Even before they were born, we had a "G" rated house. I think swearing makes individuals look, well, hello!!, either "d" or "s"!!! O.k., a little humor there. But there is little brain activity when those words, and other words, are thrown out all the time.


I'm pretty simple. I would not have a cell phone if my hubby didn't insist. Half the time I don't know where it is. No, I'm not a backwards person. But I believe life needs to be kept simple. So many cell phones, so many busy (looking) people.


I don't know if anyone wants to hear what I have to say. But lately I'm feeling the need to say it. What I believe...in writing...in depth.


I used to work in Chicago. Yes, one of those busy people walking here, walking there, trying to make a living. I am a stay-at-home mom now. I homeschool my boys. And, one day, while traveling back into the city, it struck me how busy all these people look, or are trying to look. And it was then I knew I was out of the rat race. Thankfully free of that playing field. However, my hubby is still there. Making a living for the 4 of us.


So, shall I dive right in to the depths? Into the murky waters of shark infested thoughts and beliefs? Hmmm, well, I can always delete what I've written. Cut short this introduction. O.k., it was suppose to be an introduction. But again, it is my blog!


Abortion....no, no, no. Why?...well, what is sex at its' very basic function. Forget what you believe right now. Just think about the natural body functions without the input of morality/immorality. Bodies without brains if you must. Just the organs, doing what they are built to do. Just think, pause, reflect. O.k., the sex organs work to ummmm, not just have fun and feel good but to reproduce!!! Duh! so, you do things, take things, to minimize your risk of pregnancy. That doesn't mean your risk is zero percent. When you engage in sex your body makes a pact with Mother Nature. The pact your body makes is this: "I'm intending to produce life...." Without the "you", your body and Mother Nature talk. So, life begins...not the 'outside' the womb' life. Life....the moment of... And here is where your brain and your morality should kick in.... if I don't want the outcome, don't engage the bodily functions that produce life....but we can't do that. That would mean self sacrifice, intentional actions, that impose on me in some way. I can handle some imposition..ie. taking a pill to reduce my chances of pregnancy. But real actions, 100% actions? Well, I'm not willing to sacrifice my comfort to go that far.

I'm done talking about abortion for now. Suffice to say, I am against it, believe it is murder of...something!!! Whether you call that something a fetus, a baby, a growth which leads to a baby you can recognize as a baby.

On to another post......
