Has anything changed for you yet?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 7 Nov 08

I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to post this, but oh well. I'm not sure if all of this can be put at Obama's feet, but things sure have changed for me already. It seems a lot of people in this country and around the...

Do you hate the time change?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 2 Nov 08

I can't stand the time change. It was great when I was younger and it meant an hour extra bar time, or an hour extra sleep. Now it just means that my kids will wake up at their usual time, only instead of 6am it'll be 5am. No...

So where is this letter?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 30 Oct 08

There has been a lot of talk from the McCain camp lately about Obama going back on his promise to accept public funding while running his campaign. (Sounds like sour grapes to me, but that's another story.) Obama's campaign...

Does it always fall on "moms" shoulders?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 10 Oct 08

This may get lenghty, so please forgive me for what is sure to turn into a rant. Let me give you a little background. I have 3 kids, who next month will be 13,6, and 3. They're a lot to keep up with. I work a 40 hour a week job in...

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 6 Oct 08

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 18 Sep 08

I understand the uproar over Sara Palins email getting hacked, and I have to say upfront that I hope the person(s) that did this are brought to justice. But I also have to say, I can't help but wonder if this "outrage" on behalf...

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 6 Sep 08

The last few weeks I have been seeing a lot of back and forth and bickering between people over the presidential candidates. Then it hit me that everyone is so consumed with making it clear why they will vote for their candidate,...

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 14 Jan 08

Maybe I don't have all the facts here, but it is my understanding that Congress is NOT expected to block Bush's proposed arms sale to the Saudi's. THere are also plans to sell arms to other "friendly" Middle Eastern nations. Has...

Political Correctness will be our downfall!

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 6 Dec 07

It started this morning when I logged on to my work at home job and received a message not to wish people a "Merry Christmas' because people find it offensive. "Happy Holidays" I guess is now the more appropriate term. Isn't the...
