Memorial Day

Today I cleaned my car, my house, all my clothes (including delicates), and all the dishes...hell should be good and frozen solid right about now. I don't know what got into me...I just got started and kept going and the Pea didn't wreck too much of what I had done. I like things clean, I just usually don't bother to do it...not when there are other, better, things to do.

Overall the weekend was pretty great...the Pea and I spent time at the beach...went to the aquarium...did some shopping...relaxed and had fun. For the most part I do what I want, when I want...I have the freedom to enjoy spending time with my little girl, and I feel safe wherever I go. I don't take any of it for granted...the freedom, and security, we have as citizens of this country was hard fought. Men and women died to protect our right to the pursuit of happiness, and if it weren't for them, none of what I did this weekend, or any other weekend for that matter, would be possible.

I made a vow not to talk politics or religion when I started this blog, so I won't, even though I REALLY want to right now cuz I am pretty pissed and disappointed in certain factions of our government...but I will say this: the men and women who died fighting for our country, and protecting our rights, deserve recognition, respect, and gratitude...not just today, but EVERYday.

Happy Memorial Day.
