First, let me say that I one of the great things about America is freedom of religion. But Christians are being targeted more and more often. I just want to know if anyone told the Muslims they had to pay thousands of dollars like the Christians in San Diego were told!

Frustrated!!
I am so frustrated right now. I feel like I've been in the terrible two's for 9 years now! I am so ready to be finished with them. The constant temper tantrums, screaming and crying. It is so hard to listen to day in and day out. Don't get me wrong, of course I love all of my children, and Annie really has an incredible personality, but when she is ticked off, she brings the thunder!
See, when you have 1 child, and that child is playing peacefully with a toy, or outside, then there is peace in the house. With 4 kids, the chances of them all being happy at the same time are very slim. And it's never the same one who is sad, mad or upset about something. And as soon as he is better, another one is right there to take his place.
So tonight I'm going to make an easy dinner, keep the kids outside as long as possible, and try to relax. Breathe in, breathe out!!

California freeways
Ever notice how all of the freeways in California are referred to as "The..."... The 405, The 110, The 5. What's up with that? Here in Colorado, they start with "I..." I25, I70, I'm sure it stands for Interstate. "The" doesn't stand for anything. I personally think they are referred to with "The" in the beginning, because they deserve such a distinguished title.
Now, I know what you're thinking. California freeways are a nightmare! Yes, I know, but that is because they are so full of cars. It's really not the freeways that are bad, it's the cars. One thing I've actually learned from living in Colorado, is that the California roadways are actually designed quite well. Entrances and exits are fairly standard, meaning you know they will be on the right side of the road most of the time. In Colorado, freeway entrances have no rhyme or reason. In California, lanes are typically the same width apart! You would think that something like that would be standard. Not so, just try driving on I25 through the Tech Center. Nightmare!!! The cars get sooo close to each other. I hate driving through it.
Anyway, I apparently did way too much freeway driving here yesterday, because all I could do was think about how much more organized the engineers in California make the roadways! I never thought I would admit to something like that!
