In the Middle

 

With the recent ruling of SCOTUS regarding Roe V Wade & now allowing prayer in public schools, Conservatives are cheering! Those on the right are thrilled! Yay! They’ve won! The US laws are theirs. It will only get better from here for Conservative Republicans, right?

WRONG! Whoever thinks this has got it all wrong. Let me get one thing straight & make this very clear. I’m an Independent. I’ve voted Republican & Democrat. If you look me up, I am a registered Republican, so I can vote in the primaries in Hamilton County, which typically only has republicans running for office. I see issues with BOTH sides.

Here’s why these decisions are actually going to hurt the Republican Party & it’s chances at reelection, not only in the presidential election, but in other elections as well.

You see there are a whole lot of people like me, who do not like Joe Biden or his politics. I don’t like how he’s handled the economy, the response to Covid, nor am I a Socialist He’s too old to lead our country quite frankly. So, the Democratic choice for the next President is either going to be him or if he steps down, Kamila. While I love the fact that we have an African American woman as Vice President, I don’t agree with her politics either.

But here’s my dilemma and the dilemma of many others who are moderates. I will never vote for someone who thinks that their belief that life begins at conception should be forced on the rest of the country (because I don’t) & abortion should be against the federal law. NEVER. Someone like that is scary in my opinion. If they are wanting to outlaw that you better believe they are coming for the rest of it. Pretty soon women won’t be able to take contraception and have to be subservient to men. Gay & interracial marriage is next. Our rights as women & minorities will be riddled away one at a time. Scary.

So, you see, now myself and all the MILLIONS of people like me who would never vote for someone so conservative or who supports people who are this conservative will have no choice but to vote for Joe or Kamila. I’ll have to deal with a backwards economy, soft borders and all that other stuff that I don’t like. Because between the 2 evils, it’s the lesser.

And it’s not just me. The pendulum just swung to the right, now it will swing to the left. It sucks when you want it to be in the middle. The next elections will see a Democratic landslide. Just wait.

So, my conservative, Republican friends (and I have many), cheer while ya can. If we can find a nice moderate Republican to run for the presidency that would be the best answer yet. Myself & the MILLIONS of other moderates might vote for him or her.

If you Give a Mouse a Cookie – Homeowner Style . . . I have lived in my house for over 10 years now. Anyone with a house this age understands that updates are necessary to keep you house up to the standards of the new builds that are popping up all around you. So, occasionally I’ll update certain parts of my home to keep up with the Jones’s, I mean times, and not let my home look outdated or shabby. When updating our home, have you ever noticed that it’s like a domino effect? You update one area that creates another area needing updating and then another and another. It can be never ending! We all know, you’re never completely finished with upgrades and changes to your home. I don’t know one single person who’s ever said, ‘I just added new floors and then the house is completely finished! We won’t need anything else at all in our home ever!’ Nope. Just doesn’t happen. The home improvement effect reminds me of the book 'If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.' If you haven’t read...

A Roundabout Way of Thinking

Since moving to the Carmel/Westfield area I've falllen in love . . . . with roundabouts! Being the mom that I am who is always running late, I love every extra minute I save on my way to take my kids to practice or home from the grocery store. Even if I only save 30 seconds, I am still excited. I love that I can travel down Springmill Road from 161st Street to 96th Street without stopping.  I love every opportunity not to stop and look around at all of the others at the four-way intersection and see who is going to go first. I love that at a roundabout  I don't have to worry about the courtesy wave, or annoyed flip of the wrist that has to occur for some of us to go again after we've had to stop.  But as in every love relationship, not everything is perfect. Here is the only problem with my current love. When giving other east side, south or west side mamas directions to my house, I cannot figure out how to tell them to 'turn left' at a roundabout. If ...

The Difference Between Moms and Dads

It's true there is a big distinction between mothers and fathers. Be it good or bad, we are wired differently and are going to be different parents for that reason. There are many parenting situations that a mothers will handle differently than a father. Here are a few: Bed Time: It is late and mother decides she is going to go to bed. She first picks up toys in the living room, folds the blanket and places it neatly on the couch, goes into the kitchen and starts the dishwasher, sets the coffee pot to brew in the morning, wipes the counter off, puts the laundry into the dryer and puts out the kids clothes to wear in the morning. She finally makes it to her own bathroom where she spends 15 minutes on her pre-bedtime routine before finally lying down. A dad decides that he is going to go to bed. He gets up, brushes his teeth and goes to bed. Going to the Park: Moms pack some sweet snacks, some salty snacks, some healthy snacks, water, sunscreen and a jacket. Before leaving, th...
