Going Private!

Hello all my dear friends! I am taking my blog private for some very personal reasons and need to get everyones e-mail address to add you. Thanks!

An example of "Redistribution the Wealth"

Notice to All Employees

As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:

1. All sales people will be pooling their sales commissions into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a "fair shake."

2. All hourly employees will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are "too busy for overtime" to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.

3. All top management will now be referred to as "the government." We will not participate in this "pooling" experience because the law doesn't apply to us.

4. The "government" will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week,encouraging its workers to continue to work hard "for the good of all."

5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's "good to spread the wealth." Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more "patriotic."

6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?) !!!

If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.
As a small business, we WILL be the victim of an Obama Presidency. I don't know about you, but I have not worked My Butt off to get to where I am at, so the government can come along and take my money and give it to whoever they think needs it.

Joe Cook's presidential vote!

Update on our dilemma!

We have resolved our dilemma. My wonderful niece is coming out to watch our kiddos for us. So thankfully we won't have to cancel our trip to Mexico!

What am I going to do????

Ok, Everyone knows that we have been planning a trip to Mexico for the past 8 months. It is now 1 month away and EVERYONE HAS DOGGED US. Noone is willing to watch our kids. First, Todds mom was going to watch them for us, but she now has to work. Then we were going to have his sister come and watch them for us,even willing to pay big bucks but now she won't do it. Are our kids that bad? I have no idea what we are going to do!!! So now at this point I am researching local nannies to see is I can find one, but I'm not going to hold my breath. So I guess all the working out to get myself in shape is all going to go to waste. Darn!

Missing my friends!

It has sure been a whirlwind since we moved here. Health concerns for Hailey, Jacob and Todd. Stress beyond what I'm used to. This is one of those days that I really miss my friends from Waynesboro. Someone to call or just stop by. Planning our big get togethers or a simple playdate at the park. Troubles always seem to be around but when you have a friend by your side to laugh with or cry with it sure is easier!

Downward spiral!

Heather, thanks for the eye opener!! Must watch the whole video!
