Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

I know that my boys are a little bit spoiled. They have too many toys, not enough limits, and I’m a bit overprotective. But I feel pretty confident that they’re much better off than a lot of children. Tonight’s example, Ryan and the fireworks.
Tonight was the first chance we’ve had to display our fireworks since the Fourth. Just before dark, I called the boys in from the neighbor’s yard and told them they could invite their friends to watch too. As we gathered near the street, Ryan’s dad got in his truck and drove by. He told us he’d be back in 10 minutes with more fireworks. I figured he was just trying to bond with Rob over fireworks. When he got back, I learned that his wife sent him out to get fireworks because Ryan was jealous that WE had fireworks and HE didn’t. And if he didn’t get fireworks, he was going to throw a tantrum.
Don’t get me started on children who are allowed to binge on food at a very young age.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
