Where I live we average 4.5 inches of rain in July... but like I said we've only received 0.09.
Surprisingly though everything still looks alive. There was a point a couple months ago (May I think) when we were a good 8-10 inches above average for the month.
Ok yall... I have decided to accept the pierced ears of my kid... I had a sign or two... I was going to complain to the local Pastor of the church- before I could open my mouth I noticed he had a hole or two in his ear. I also noticed a very well dressed older gentlemen with a hole in his ear working in the men's shoe department at Macy's. About a hundred things ran through my mind, but I was silent. I dropped my son off at his apartment where God only knows what is going My son exited the car and my heart ached for my little guy. Then it happened. I Grew in leaps and bounds... Before I backed out to drive away I rolled the window down and said to my son "u know I think those earrings look pretty good." In that moment he went from being my boy to being the "MAN"... The confident young man that I made! He puffed out his chest, walked a little taller, and smiled from ear to ear. It became apparent to me kids want the approval of their parents no matter how old or young they are. It demonstrates a certain level of respect and the lesson I learned is respect really does work both ways. Now I know what they mean when they talk about Growing Pains It was painful, but I did grow
We have the “best paid” politicians that corporate lobbyists and big business can buy representing the average tax payers; so we get what we deserve. Somebody voted them into office and now we have to hold our noses.
