I am blazing angry because this just happened to me.  I was 31 minutes into my 45 minute workout and thinking: "Wow, this is going to be the best (longest) workout I've been able to squeeze in to my day in over 3 months!"  All of a sudden, the channel of the TV I was intently viewing changed!  My reaction was immediate because I had no headphones and was struggling to keep up with the dialogue running across the bottom of the screen.  I looked over to my left and there he was, the jerk who changed my channel even before he ever got to the elyptical machine.   Read more >

For some reason, in this country risk of serious injury or death isn't enough to get people to stop acting irresponsilbly.  A national campaign has been launched called Focus Driven.  It was started by moms who have lost children and even parents thanks to drivers who were distracted by talking on their cell phones or, worse, texting!  The National Safety Commission reports that today 28% of car accidents are due to "illegal" cell phone usage.  Read more >

The live feed of the devastation and despair in Haiti is too much to watch.  The situation is dire and even though food, water, medical supplies, and personnel have been arriving all day today in Port Au Prince, Haiti, I fear it is too late for hundreds of thousands of Haitians buried in the rubble.I pray numerous times during the day to help the Haitian people and those who are there to rescue them.  I try to be hopeful, but it is difficult given the monumental task at hand.  God Bless Haiti.  Read more >

Now I'm fuming angry.  I wrote earlier about how there were 3 fights at my kids middle school in two days. I emailed the Principal asking what the school was doing about the violence and asked what we parents can do to help.  Her response was as follows: "Thank you for your email.  The two incidents have been dealt with appropriately."  Read more >
