This is a blog that should be for tomorrow but its going to be a busy weekend for me so I am writing tonight.
This night makes me sad because it reminds me of happy times that I will never have again.
Twas the night before Easter 6 years ago when I realized that the person I was hanging out, drinking and having fun with was my best friend. She was what a true best friend should be, so I don't have to keep calling her she or her lets just call her Isabella.
Isabella and I were pretty much inseparable, other then the times I spent with my then boyfriend now husband. She was great! We had so much in common. We were partners in crime. Yes, we had our little fights but what friends don't. We took road trips stayed up til all hours of the night doing so many different things.
Let me tell you not that I was the most popular person but I would go as far to say that Isabella was kind of a loner. She kept to herself talked to very few people in high school. She wasn't weird just quiet. She had friends but I don't think she really got out and did a whole lot. So when we , my husband, Isabella and myself, got an apartment together, we had the best of times. Tons of friends over, parties all the time, heck even just sitting around playing video games. It was great an awesome time in my life. Then I started to notice that some of our mutual friends didn't want to come over if Isabella was there, or if she was going to be drinking. See Isabella didn't have the greatest self esteem and I am pretty sure some depression issues. So she would occasionally , ok not occasionally most of the time is a better way of putting it, be a downer. Constantly thinking or saying someone hated her and being really needy like a young child. Now at the time I didn't think to much about these things because she was my best friend. I started to notice more and more things that weren't so great about Isabella. I noticed that if we went shopping I had to pick out all of her clothes. Its one thing to go out with the girls shopping and ask them what they think of a shirt or pants or if they recommend an article of clothing, but that's not how it was with Isabella. I had to pick out clothes for her. Now I am pretty excited that I actually got her to go into some stores that she had never shopped in before! It didn't stop there though if we went out to eat I had to pick out what she was going to eat. Hell most of the time my 3 year old picks out what he wants to eat , but I have to pick out food for someone who is over 18 years old! Come on! One day her vehicle broke down and she wanted me to call someone to jump her and I told her no its your car you do it your a big girl. She wouldn't so ya know what I did for my best friend. I pushed her damn car to a parking lot! Now Isabella had a problem. Not one that only I her best friend would notice but everyone who cared noticed. Isabella had a drinking problem. She drank all the time. Now its one thing to get home from work and crack open a beer and relax. Fine have at it. When it comes to drinking only to get drunk or at least a decent buzz going on. Even when no one else is around. To me seems like a problem, or drinking so much that you fall and get hurt and don't remember anything from that night. Now I realize that young people drink and sometimes way to much and forget the night before. That's not the people I am talking about. Isabella with all her issues adding into her drinking habits became a problem. I was young and I noticed but I didn't say much or often. My bad. I was quite the enabler, I wasn't helping her at all I was hindering her issues the whole time. Shame on me for thinking I was doing good, but now I have learned from that and wont do it again. When Isabella would drink she would always want to go for a drive so someone always had to hide her keys.
My boyfriend, now husband, at the time had found out his work was going to be taking him out of state, and I had just found out a week or so before we left that I was pregnant. Isabella took my leaving hard but I wanted to go with my boyfriend. We were planning a wedding before we found out that we were pregnant and moving. So I had to go with him, I wanted to go with him. Isabella and I talked all the time while I was out of state. I came back often to visit. Always wanted Isabella to visit, but she never would. It was always one excuse or another. For the 4th of July a friend of ours was having a party and she wanted me to come up for it. I wasn't trying to be rude but my pregnant ass was not going to drive over 6 hours to go to a party to babysit a bunch of drunk people. Just didn't sound like much of a party for someone with a bun in the oven. I noticed that Isabella started becoming quite shady with me. Hiding things from me. One day I found out she was going to a party. Not that I was checking up on her . That information was given to me without me asking anything about Isabella. So I sent her a text telling her not to drink and drive because she knew I hated that shit! She became really defensive and asking where I heard it from. I told her it wasn't important and just to be safe not to drive drunk or have anyone else drunk driving! Isabella at one point in time was at a party and had been drinking and because she didn't want to stay she had someone else who had been drinking drive her home. The person driving was way underage and got pulled over and got a ticket for drinking and driving all because Isabella didn't want to crash on a couch or chair for the night. Selfish right? It think so! Anyways from the point she became defensive and hiding things from me we started to drift. Now yes friends drift apart often because people grow and not always in the same direction. I get that. I wasn't able to stay out of state long because I was coming up on my due date and we couldn't afford to live where we did without me working and because I hadnt been there for a year or more my leave wouldn't have been paid. So we moved back and lived with my boyfriends parents for a while. The day I got married Isabella was there as my witness. We still hung out but not as often as before. I understand I was married now and about to have a baby. My life wouldn't be the same old party life that I used to have. So of course I wasn't invited to all the cool parties and get togethers. As a side note not trying to sound selfish at all but if your best friend is having a baby especially their first baby you throw them a baby shower right? Now I had a baby shower one that my mother in law threw for me and I am so grateful for that but Isabella always said she was going to throw one so my mother in law didn't invite my friends because she thought I was going to be having another baby shower that Isabella was throwing. Well Isabella never did. She had no ambition to do anything or plan anything. So I didn't get to play games in fact I had to share the baby shower I did have with my husband's cousin. Again not wanting to sound selfish or ungrateful for what I did have, but I didn't get to have that experience with my friends. After I had my son and once I felt comfortable leaving him for short periods of time I went out and hung out with my friends. The ones that didn't have children didn't understand my new way of thinking and life. They didn't understand I had a new life to take care of that depended on me and that was now my whole world. After a while my husband and I bought our house. Isabella hardly ever came over to visit. Now after having a baby and buying a house we didn't have the extra cash like we used to go out for lunch or whatever frivolous activities we felt like doing. So maybe I wasn't the most exciting person to hang out with. Talking mostly about my son and not being able to go out and do much. Being a stay at home mom I loved company. I wanted my best friend to come over and watch movies with me or anything really I wanted to get back some sort of normalcy with her.
I took Isabella out for her 21st birthday! It was in the middle of the week so only one other person and myself we able to go out with her for her birthday. I know that is something that upset her but as her best friend I wasn't going to miss it for the world. It was a pretty good night over all. I was her dd , because I hate drinking and driving, I got all the people at the bars to buy her drinks for her birthday and yeah she drank way to much but when she was throwing up who carried her outside and held her hair back while she was sick? Her best friend, but the whole night she did nothing but complain about what a shitty birthday she was having because not everyone was there for it. Apparently the people that were able to and cared so much about her didn't matter. After Isabella turned 21 her drinking problem of course didn't improve and either did the fact that she liked to drink and drive! I probably sounded like a mother when I would bitch at her about it but I meant it with all my soul when I told her I would kick her ass if I found out she did it again. I was talking to her via text one time and she had made the statement that she was going to become a full blown alcoholic. I asked her " do you think your honestly not already?" That was the beginning of the end. She was hardly hanging out with because I didn't want to go out and bar hop and didn't condone drinking and driving. Yes one of her friends had a child but when that child was with its father that mother acted like she didn't even have a child. Never considered hey if I get in this car after drinking and I crash and die what would happen to my child. That's a whole different story for another time. Because I didn't want to hang out with those kind of people , so I decided not to put myself in situations like that. So that's what I told Isabella. That until she grew the f up I wasn't going to hang out or talk to her anymore. When she got her shit together she knew how to get a hold of me and she then could feel free to contact me. Honestly it felt a lot like breaking up with a guy. I had to arrange a time to go get some of my stuff from her and give her back things of hers that I had.
After over a year of not talking to Isabella I really missed her. So we started texting again. We started keeping in touch which was really nice. I would occasionally stop in at her work and see her. By this time I am pregnant with my second child and once again cant do a whole lot. We kept in touch for quite some time. Never hanging out just texting or gossiping while I saw her at her work. Zipping forward in time I have my second child, another son and I am still chit chatting via text with Isabella. After a while I was ready to go out again. While out one night I ran into some of Isabella and I's mutual friends. I heard so many things that I knew I had made the correct choice. So I got a hold of Isabella and told her of the things I had heard and made myself very clear that I missed her and I was hoping that soon we would be able to hang out again but after hearing the things that I did that night I knew that aprox. 2 years ago when I made the decision not to talk with her I had made the correct decision.
After that I reached out to Isabella's mother to notify her of her daughters problems and that blew up in my face. It turned into me apparently talking shit basically . My words got twisted so much. It mad me so sad to know that all I ever wanted for Isabella was the best. I watched over her like a big sister. Never would steer her wrong but apparently when, and not just with Isabella, I speak the truth about someone people get pissed at me and think I am being a bitch. Well yeah the truth hurts. Yes Isabella's mom found out things about her through me but it wasn't to piss anyone off or accuse anyone of anything or spread lies it was to try to get Isabella help. To shorten this crazy ass long blog a bit I don't know who it was but lets just say Isabella or Isabella and/or a friend decided to try to harass me high school style via Aim. I mean come on grow up. Call me names pick on my weight. I don't care. I had two children whats her excuse?! Once again my words were twisted and lies were typed but I don't care. I have an amazing family that's all I need.
So after telling my story/rant I miss Isabella the girl that used to be my best friend. Its sad that it had to come to high school bullshit. Twas the night before Easter that reminds me of her. I know at times it sounds like I am talking about a guy or a crush or something but that's not the case I just know that I wont ever find what Isabella and I used to have. Life goes on and I know I am the better person, and am thankful for the friends I have even if we aren't that close!
Thanks to those who read this and thanks to my friends for just being there!

This list according to a study done by Condomania is a list from all 50 states of penis size based on purchases of condoms.
I wanted to write my view on this after reading some of the comments in the above stated link. Now taking into consideration a few things. The article never states if this list is from smallest to largest or largest to smallest. I am assuming its largest to smallest. Also you have to think about a few things. A lot of guys don't buy the correct condom size. In fact especially young males often don't realize there is many many sizes or they want to purchase a larger size to impress the ladies or guys they are with or want to be with. Also not all guys wear condoms for whatever reason. So if you think about this regardless of what order this list is made in lg-sm or sm-lg and that the size of the condoms purchased were the correct size. I cant help but think of what is the difference in each state that makes the men from this study larger or smaller than other states.
One person from the website had made a comment how Texas of course is lower on the list because they have a lot of Hispanics and that they are smaller according to this persons own experiences. Now I don't care what your race or origin is or what color your skin is I would expect that most people of shorter stature probably have a smaller penis then someone who is 6' or taller. Now I am sure that not all short people have small penis's nor do all tall people have huge members, but I would say that those are the general thinking of most people. This is not to be taken as an offense to anyone but most people as a stereotype think that black people have bigger packages. Now maybe they do I don't personally know but there are probably black guys that don't meet that requirement So other than your race or country of origin I was thinking what about these states , again figuring that purchased condoms were correct size, what else could make states be further down the list or higher on it. * on a side note this article never stated the average sizes so you don't really know how close each state is to one another. Also what if someone was born in one state and lives in the other? Was that considered in this poll of penis'? I doubt it!* I was thinking weather possibly but I had to rule that out because the list is pretty mixed up its not like warmer states are all at one end of the list and colder on the other. Is it something like chemical, minerals or something in the soil or water as silly as that sounds? Something to make them bigger or smaller ? Average age of guys maybe that are buying condoms?
I have only seen male members from 2 states, and from that alone I would say NY should be higher on the list than VA but with the consideration I haven't seen any from those states listed in between I am not sure that VA should be # 15.
So I want to hear from you guys what you think. Does this list seem to make sense and what do you think one state has that others don't to put them where they are on the list? Also include based on your own personal experiences do you think this list is accurate?
Question Of The Day :
Guys - If you could change the size of your penis for one day would you? smaller or latger?
Ladies : If you could have a penis for a day would you want one? What would ya do with it?

Poop
You might be thinking by the title of this, Is she really going to talk about poop? Yes, I am most certainly going to talk about poop. I am not going to talk about my poop but my children's poop. So we are talking newborn to three year old poop. Thats the poop with the best stories and something I know all to much about. Now if your a parent, mom or dad, then you will probably know or can at least semi relate to me in the situations I have had. If you are not a parent yet this is kind of a warning/funny things that may happen to you.
Most of my experiences with kid poo is from my oldest son. He has trained me well on the ways to deal with poop. First off with my first born I had to have a c-section, which is a whole different blog completely, so I couldn't move very well for approximately the first week. So I didn't at that time even get to see the first poops, ya know the black tar like sticky poop called meconium, because my wonderful husband was more than happy to change diapers for me especially when I was in the hospital. Though once my husband went back to work and at nights the diaper duty was all mine. I didnt mind because even the slightest movement that my son would make I was wide awake checking on him. I was glad to do it. Just so you all know I breastfed both of my sons. So poop for breastfed babies and formula fed babies are different so some of these things I will tell you, unless you breastfed, you may have not experienced or have no idea what I am talking about. Breast fed baby poop is yellowish and almost diarrhea consistency, and that's normal for them. Breastfed babies also poop a lot more because breast milk breaks down faster. So you may have found that if you breastfed your baby that he or she may have pooped while nursing or just about done nursing. I think my son was only a month or two old when one night at 3-4 am he woke me up because he was hungry and when I took him out of his crib I noticed he was little stinky. No prob just get out the diaper and wipes clean this poop and nurse my little precious boy right back to sleep. Well let me tell you how wrong I was! I took his diaper off cleaned his bottom and then is when disaster struck the Shute household! Apparently my wonderful son hadn't finished his business. In the wee hours of that morning my son decided to poop. Now yeah sometimes you don't get a diaper on quick enough and pee or poop may come out and you have another mess to clean but this wasn't the case. I could change a diaper pretty darn quick but the poop was quicker. The problem didn't come when he pooped before I got the diaper on. The problem was that his poop came out so quick like a water hose had been turned on and it seriously shot out like a water hose right on me! I stood there laughing and it woke my husband up and he asked what was so funny? So I had to tell him well its 4 am and I am covered in poop. Now this may disgust some of you but I don't care at the time it was pretty funny yeah gross but funny. I have found through my poop experiences over the years that sometimes laughing holds back the tears. Now after that I got myself all cleaned up and life was great.
Then we have had our not pooping moments. We actually took our oldest to the doctor as a baby because he hadn't pooped in 15 days! The doctor prescribed a suppository for him, told us just to use the tip. Great our little man will poop again right! I had my husband give him the suppository while he was home on his lunch break. Well that was a bad move on my part because with in ten min after my husband was gone it was like God opened the flood gates and said " LET THERE BE POOP" Because the poop was flowing like mind blowing amounts of poop. I made the mistake at the beginning of the poop flow thinking I would change his diaper. Bad move again the poop just kept coming out I didn't know what to do I couldn't leave him in a diaper because it would just get everywhere and leak out anyways so I opened a package of cloth diapers that we were going to use as burp cloths and laid some down set him on them covered him up with some in case he had to pee also and let him get all the poop out. Now that may not seem that bad but to watch a new mother frantic because she couldn't stop the poop was like watching an old silent movie of some goofy guy trying to stop a leak in a water main. Looking back, though at the time I just didn't know what to do, I laugh at myself. You have to in crazy situations sometimes you just have to laugh.
I don't know about you but poop became quite the interesting topic for my husband and I especially during the first year of our oldest sons life. As he became older and we introduced solid foods his poop changed, and to us it was interesting. We didn't fully understand the wide variety of colors that poop can be for kids especially when introducing new food. Even talking about when our baby's poop became more like regular poop. To us it was funny and interesting. It got to the point where we would open a diaper and not understand how what was in it came out of our little boy! It was astonishing.
Now as our son grew older the fascination with poop kind of died down. Though we have had recently more experiences with poop now that the potty training process has begun. He started refusing to poop on the potty and would poop on his floor or in his drawer during nap time. Then one day during nap time. My wonderful 3 year old decided to create art with his poop. My husband came home from work and went upstairs to bring him down from nap time. Which I had wrongly assumed that he took a nap because during the time he was upstairs he was silent I didn't even hear him walking around at all. My husband yells down to me telling me that I needed to come upstairs to see something. So I tell him I don't need to see the size of the log that came out of my kid and just to bring him downstairs. He insisted that come upstairs, so I got up ans started walking up the stairs. I got to the gate at the top of the stairs and didn't want to go any further after seeing my son and what little of his room I could see from the gate. My husband is getting ready to go back to work from his lunch break and my 1 year old is up from his nap and crying and my 3 year old is covered in poop and so is his room. He had told his father that he painted a roller coaster on his wall. Well let me tell you he must have decided to ride that damn roller coaster because there was poop all over him. I had time to get him in the tub and scrub him off before my husband went back to work. I still had to scrub his walls and his firetruck bed and basically his whole room. How was this going to work when I also had to take care of my little man? Luckily for me my mother in law came and took my son to her house to play. I still had my youngest and a poop covered room to clean. I decided to take my youngest upstairs lock the gate and put him in the hallway in his walker while I cleaned his brother's room. It was horrible I wont go into detail but poop everywhere that I had to scrub off of most everything. Once I got that all done I picked up my little one and he touched my face and I noticed that my face was wet. Hmmm ... I looked at his hand and it was covered in poop along with me. I walked down the hall to the bathroom to clean us up and realized that he had pooped and it leaked out all over in the seat to his walker and of course he touched it then touched my hall way walls. Well what a way to spend a night cleaning poop off of kids, myself and walls. Once again I had to laugh to hold back the tears and vomit.
I am sure that I have more poop stories, but these are the ones that stick out the most to me. Putting all poop aside being a mom is the best job, though there is a lot of poop involved its always worth it!

I don't know about you but poop became quite the interesting topic for my husband and I especially during the first year of our oldest sons life. As he became older and we introduced solid foods his poop changed, and to us it was interesting. We didn't fully understand the wide variety of colors that poop can be for kids especially when introducing new food. Even talking about when our baby's poop became more like regular poop. To us it was funny and interesting. It got to the point where we would open a diaper and not understand how what was in it came out of our little boy! It was astonishing.
Now as our son grew older the fascination with poop kind of died down. Though we have had recently more experiences with poop now that the potty training process has begun. He started refusing to poop on the potty and would poop on his floor or in his drawer during nap time. Then one day during nap time. My wonderful 3 year old decided to create art with his poop. My husband came home from work and went upstairs to bring him down from nap time. Which I had wrongly assumed that he took a nap because during the time he was upstairs he was silent I didn't even hear him walking around at all. My husband yells down to me telling me that I needed to come upstairs to see something. So I tell him I don't need to see the size of the log that came out of my kid and just to bring him downstairs. He insisted that come upstairs, so I got up ans started walking up the stairs. I got to the gate at the top of the stairs and didn't want to go any further after seeing my son and what little of his room I could see from the gate. My husband is getting ready to go back to work from his lunch break and my 1 year old is up from his nap and crying and my 3 year old is covered in poop and so is his room. He had told his father that he painted a roller coaster on his wall. Well let me tell you he must have decided to ride that damn roller coaster because there was poop all over him. I had time to get him in the tub and scrub him off before my husband went back to work. I still had to scrub his walls and his firetruck bed and basically his whole room. How was this going to work when I also had to take care of my little man? Luckily for me my mother in law came and took my son to her house to play. I still had my youngest and a poop covered room to clean. I decided to take my youngest upstairs lock the gate and put him in the hallway in his walker while I cleaned his brother's room. It was horrible I wont go into detail but poop everywhere that I had to scrub off of most everything. Once I got that all done I picked up my little one and he touched my face and I noticed that my face was wet. Hmmm ... I looked at his hand and it was covered in poop along with me. I walked down the hall to the bathroom to clean us up and realized that he had pooped and it leaked out all over in the seat to his walker and of course he touched it then touched my hall way walls. Well what a way to spend a night cleaning poop off of kids, myself and walls. Once again I had to laugh to hold back the tears and vomit.
I am sure that I have more poop stories, but these are the ones that stick out the most to me. Putting all poop aside being a mom is the best job, though there is a lot of poop involved its always worth it!
Thanks for reading

First Amendment
Tonight's topic is the First Amendment to the American Constitution. If you don't know what it is let me tell you. Its the freedom of speech, religion, press and petition. I am mainly here tonight to talk about the first of those, speech and maybe a little of the press, depending on the situation.
DISCLAIMER: This blog has nothing to do with anyone in particular. I am writing based on my own experiences and those that others have told me about but names will remain anonymous.
The US Constitution Bill of Rights
First Amendment - Freedom of speech, press, religion and petition
Congress shal make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise there of; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people to peaceably
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The American Constitution and the Bill of Rights is something that so many people in this country have fought and died for! So this is a pretty huge issue for me. These are historical documents that have shaped this very country! Now I realize that with some politicians whatever their status may be now or in the future are not so much for a lot of these amendments to the constitution. That doesn't fly with me very well but there isn't a whole lot I can do about it accept write, but that's for another day. I am here tonight to write about Facebook, not about the website itself but about status updates and posts.
I have noticed many times that a positive status update gets crazy loads of likes and comments but if a status update is to let your friends know what your doing or how your feeling then its not going to always be something positive. That's life! Though I have been asked before when I have been asked why I would put something that's not positive down as my status or if its not a good day why write something at all. Well first of all I am going to exercise my first amendment right to say what I want. If I am vulgar and offend you I am sorry but that's how I am feeling. The way I see it is that not just myself but others too, if your not shitting out sunshine and rainbows its unacceptable, and even if what you right is nothing offensive at all to anyone its not spewing glittery vomit everywhere then you shouldn't write it. I say a big piss off. Why you might ask because of simple things like this. You don't like my status then don't read it. Facebook has the option to hide what specific people say or even don't look. Just as here if you are reading and you don't like it you have a few options you can stop reading, stop reading and choose not to read my blog ever again in case its something you might not like or you could always comment and tell me what you think, but please just because I may say something you don't like don't tell me this isn't the place to do it. I will express myself by speaking or typing what I want and where. I am sorry if that twists your taste buds the wrong way but thats how I feel.
So that was sort of a rant but I think a valid topic to blog about. So if you didnt notice I mentioned sunshine and rainbows in this blog which also happens to be my title kinda whatever you want to call it. Its because this is a place where I am going to keep it real. Tell you my thoughts and sometimes I will be shitting out sunshine and rainbows and sometimes I wont.
Just so you all know politics and history stuff is not my favorite things to talk about though on occation I have pretty good or long winded views on them, but dont worry not all of my blogs are going to be political or anything of the sort. Who knows my next may be about baby poop. If your a parent or a first time parent you know but may not want to admit baby poop can be quite the interesting topic of conversation. Anyways now that I am way off the topic I think I am going to end this blog but thanks for reading. Cant wait to hear feedback !

That is the link to the Bill of Rights. Read it every one should along with the US Constitution!
" I may not agree with what say but I will defend to the death your right to say it" And I do belive it was Voltaire who said this

Health Care and Student Loan Reform
So by request today's afternoon blog is going to be about the Heath Care and Student Loan reform.I'm not going to pretend like I am the most educated on these subjects but I am going to give my view on them.
So lets start off with the Heath Care reform. So as far as I know its not completely approved. I guess it still needs to be voted on by the senate. I have not read the bill. I don't think many people even our politicians have read much of it let alone all of it, but yet again that's how things get passed and pushed through quickly isn't it? To me passing through something as big as heal care at least all those having to vote on it should have to read the entire thing. They call it the public option but in the end its not going to end up being an option. Companies who are paying for or partially for insurance for their employees will still also have to pay for this public option. Companies are not going to want to pay for both so they are going to end up paying only for the public "option" because no matter what they have to pay for it anyways. Say you are a super healthy person. You never get sick if you do you ride it out. So you have chosen not to have heath insurance because why pay out of each pay check or out of pocket for insurance you never use? Right? Well now if this heath care reform public option goes through if you don't have heath insurance or the public option then you are going to be fined and have to pay the government! In my opinion health insurance is not a necessity. If all the money your employer is paying in for your heath insurance went into your pay check and at that point if you wanted could purchase your own health insurance or if you want pay for your doctors appointments out of pocket. Now I understand that health insurance really helps those with chronic illnesses, diseases, pre existing medical problems and those who need to be on medications for whatever purpose, because those things aren't cheap! I get that that's why I said you could opt to pay for your own. Also if people paid for doctors visits and other things out of pocket then the doctors and cost of medical procedures and things would go down because we all know that doctors take advantage of the fact that most of the time insurance companies, depending on your coverage, will pay what they are billed for or at least their part of it. If doctors knew they couldn't get that kind of money anymore from the insurance companies then cost of things would go down. I don't think its health care that we have a problem with. The heath care I have received over the years in the United States has always been amazing. Nothing to complain about other than the occasionally bitchy nurse. I don't know if what I said has made sense to you or my thoughts we organized enough but I didn't really want to talk specifics about the bill itself because I haven't read it so I could end up sounding like an idiot if I haven't already.
On to Student Loan reform.
Now if you who are reading this know me then you know my husband works for Sallie Mae collecting private student loans. His company also collects on dept of education loans so if this student loan reform bill goes through then I doubt highly that he will loose his job, but a lot of people at his company could loose their jobs and that frickn blows. It was crappy enough that last year thanks to Mr. Obama my husband lost his job collecting taxes for the IRS because it was a private company doing it not the IRS itself. * Check this website out I bet it will be more informative then I am about the situation. Go to www.protectnewyorkjobs.com
The thing that really irritates me about this is that its one more step closer to everything being completely government run, and eventually a one world government. I believe that someday its not going to matter where you live the United Nations will be the supreme government and run everything and everyone. Hey that sounds like socialism on a crazy high level to me.
Well thats my view on health care reform and student loan reform. So I am not a big fan of either but I dont really have a choice but to deal with it do I? apparently letters to senetors and congressmen dont mean jack , well to most of them that is. What happened to politicians doing their job of representing their area or state. I dont think they are doing their jobs!
Also just think on a side note back to the health care bill. If its not specifically excluded or included in the bill its covered. So illegal immagrants and abortions unless specifically written is not covered will be!
Thanks for reading everyone. Please leave comments because I would love to hear what you think on these topics and about what I think of them.
Here is my Question Of The Day to my lovely readers :
If you could choose one thing that would change the life of one specific person of family what would it be ?

Just a bit about myself
My name is Jela Shute. I am 24 years old I am married with 2 wonderful little boys. They are my reason for everything. I am many things in my life, a daughter, a wife, a mother and a friend.
I am here to write about experiences that I have had throught my life. So that means pretty much a wide range of things. I have a lot of things to say about being a mom, motherhood, pregnancy, babies, toddlers and preschoolers. I am not the smartest person you will meet. I may have horrible spelling and punctuation but thats me thats who I am. I may not have the most educated opinion or the most organized thoughts or blogs but again thats who I am. I am a very opinionated person. I can have a potty mouth, but I'm trying to improve that especially seeing as I have a little guy who is at the point where he thinks its hillarious to repeat everything I say. I call it like I see it. Some may think I am rude, cruel, cold hearted but alot of times that is because people dont like to hear the truth, have things poined out to them or cant accept that if someones point of view is different than their own.
So with that being said if you leave comments that dont agree with me I am not going to rage out at you and tell you how much you suck and how wrong you are. I want you all to comment and leave feed back. Ask questions of any sort I dont care if its about poop, politics, religion, sex, pregnancy or being a mom . Ask me my opinion about things I will be glad to tell you what I think . Ideas for blogs go ageah and shoot them at me. I am ready for them. So lets do this. Lets roll up our sleeves and get down to the nitty gritty. I want you all reading this to let me know what you think and let me know what you want to hear about. Help me make you and other readers happy.
If you have read this far your amazing! I am not even sure how all this sounds lol I have so many things going through my mind and not all of them am I sure how to put in to cohearent words. Thanks for reading this far. Feel free to subscribe leave comments anything.
Also if you wonderful readers out there want my opinion about something and you shoot me an email or comment or whatever no real names will be used.
Thanks for reading my very fist blog on here! :)
Thanks again,
