Help! I’m Deaf!

I left Chicago this morning where it was -4 degrees! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! While I am basking in warm sunny Florida now a few days before CPC, I am quite bummed because I had to leave Sara and Luke behind due to them still being sick. It’s been over two weeks they’ve been fighting a flu bug and Sara’s has gotten worse! And even worse, we were going to celebrate Luke’s 2nd birthday at the Magic Kingdom tomorrow. Instead, I won’t even see my little guy on his birthday! (cue the violins) At least Luke doesn’t know what he’s missing out on. He just thinks he was supposed to hang out at Grandma and Grandpas for a few days. And then to add to the weirdness of this trip, I’ve been completely deaf all day! I’m already deaf in my left ear, and as I landed this morning my only other functioning ear was completely blocked and has remained so all day. It has been quite fascinating walking around Downtown Disney unable to hear a thing, and interacting with people to order food, etc. is strange – I can barely hear my own voice and don’t know how loud I’m speaking. I…

Three Kinds of People

There are many versions of “Three Kinds of People.” One I’ve often liked was: Those who make things happen Those who watch things happen Those who ask, “What just happened?” Of course, I’d like to think of myself as the first! This saying probably came originally from Benjamin franklin who said: All mankind is divided into three groups: those that are immovable, those that are movable and those that move.” — Benjamin Franklin But there are other theories about “three kinds of people.” Maybe you’ve heard: There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can’t stand Picasso, those who can’t stand Raphael, and those who’ve never heard of either of them. — John White Or the more modern version: Today, there are three kinds of people: the have’s, the have-not’s, and the have-not-paid-for-what-they-have’s. — Earl Wilson A recent up-date to the first above put it this way: There are three kinds of people in the world, the wills, the won’ts, and the can’ts. The first accomplish everything; the second oppose everything, the third fail in everything – Eclectic Magazine Robert Schulle added a fourth: There are basically four kinds of people: cop-outs, hold-outs, drop-outs, and all-outs. It’s…

Chuck Norris on Huck’s Team?

I was watching Republican Presidential Candidate Gov. Mike Huckabee’s speeches online after winnign Iowa and noticed the secret of his success staning behind him… could that be? Could that be Chuck? Did you know Chuck Norris is a presidential body guard? He has served every president since George Washington. (Except Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy, of course!) Anyway, I’m happy that Mike won the primary – its cool that someone who spent 1/15th the money of others still won. I do find it interesting (and frustrating) that the news has to use the word “Christian” or “evangelical” or “religious” in every sentence as though they are bad words that are poison to a campaign. Ironically, they may actually be helping rather than hurting his campaign. I haven’t chosen “my guy” yet, but I do like a lot of what Gov. Huckabee is saying. I love following politics – it is crazy the stuff that the media pulls when you know the truth and when you understand politics. But I won’t get into that her and now. But as the election gains pace, I’ll start getting political! You’ve been warned. CHUCK NORRIS FOR PRESIDENT! UP-DATE!!! It IS Chuck Norris standing behind…

Home School Families – Scary?

Over the years we’ve known a lot of home school families… and may be one ourselves one day soon. (Not making that decision until the time comes. We see many of the advantages and disadvantages – so it will come down to what is best for Luke when that time comes.) Anyway, I came across this video, and just had to post it here. Before any home schooler is offended, please know it was made by a home school dad and is just for fun! It does a good job of pointing out many of the stereotypes of home school families. [flv]http://media.kidology.org/flash/kblog/homeschool-families-450×338.flv[/flv] It is from www.timhawkins.net and there are some other funny videos there as well!  ENJOY!
