Give Thanks

'nuff said.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

I'm an Adult...

So I always thought growing up was so awesome, I spent my childhood wanting to be the mom, or the 18 year old when we played "house" and wanting to do all the things that big kids got to do. Now I just want to stay little. I want to color all day and play outside and have snack time during class {although I already do... :)} and just be a kid. Growing up is tough, but it's still good. I'm having a tough time trying to express myself today, so just stick with this... I think there is just too much going on in my noodle today.

So I'm taking a class called American Heritage and I've hated it until well today.. It's so dull and mostly covers things I learned in High School. So I didn't pay a whole lot of attention until recently. I had to write an essay on a current issue in my community and I chose to write on my state's budget deficit and ways that I thought would be smart to fix them. Well, while I was doing some research I found this  gem. 

Pretty accurate right? Yeah I thought so too, but everyone's got to do what they've got to do to survive... It just stinks for the rest of us. I would go on a rant or a something about this but I'm supposed to be studying. I am however going to also post this picture. 

You can't tell, but all the red states, yeah that is the population equivalent to how many babies have been aborted since 1973, {this is from an article from 2008, so i'm sure the numbers are much higher} I would be dead.... Scary...

We were talking about supreme court cases in class and the famous Roe V. Wade came up for discussion, always a topic for people to get passionate about. Especially because my whole class is tiny and full of girls... it was pretty interesting to see their opinions and I felt good for sticking my two cents in too. Normally I just keep to my self in there. Mostly because it's at 8:30 in the morning and I'm still sleepy, and I feel dumb when I open my mouth and can't support an argument, but I could today. I don't get why people think it's okay to abort pregnancies. Being a mother is a BLESSING I look forward to, I pray that I will get the opportunity to experience this someday, and women out there are just looking forward to getting rid of a sweet sweet spirit. I feel sick. That's all for today folks. Next time I'll post something happy and stuff! :) But I was just trying to say that Being an adult isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I mean I'm actually getting involved in the world I feel like. I like knowing what is going on around me. 

If there is one thing I hate...

...It's matching socks... Seriously. I can fold my laundry and hang my shirts, do the dishes, vacuum, or even clean the bathroom  {okay not that one.}, but throw me a basket of socks to match... no way. just so everyone knows, this is why.

Figure 1.1 So many Socks, So little patience

This isn't really my collection of mismatched socks, but it is close. Most of the time I go to work with different socks. Sometimes one is blue and the other is orange or one is red and white stripes and the other is a solid red. It's really sad. (especially considering that my work socks are supposed to be black...)

But now you know my little frustration.

On another note. It's getting colder!!! NOO!!!! I'm not prepared for this! It rained most of the morning and it was freezing and I walked to school and my shoes, yeah they were soaking wet. Whose bright idea was it to not wear socks with TOMS? I need more sweaters and more socks... oh wait. In all reality I'm excited for winter. I love snow and cold and hot cocoa, and all sorts of Winter/Christmas activities. It's marvelous. I know it's a bit early, but I can't help myself. It's just too wonderful! :)
