Just a mom

~ Conservative Momma ~ Leave a comment
I met up with a girlfriend of mine yesterday who has two kids-a 3 year old little girl and a little boy about the same age as my son Bode. It was so great to just hear her talk about being a “mom”….

A “Mom”….What does that even mean? Surely it’s more than carrying a child for 9months, or giving birth….for after birth is really where the assignment begins….

I have heard many women say…”I am not ‘just’ a mom.” As if being “just a mom,” is some sort of negative stereotype.

Society has pressured us into filling our lives with so many things that we disregard the incredible overwhelming monumental task of raising another life.

We have been told that being “just a mom” can’t really fulfill you. Being “just a mom,” can’t really bring you happiness. We have been told that the mundane tasks of cleaning, cooking, laundry, baths and so forth are meaningless when in fact these trivial “chores” provide a simple sense of security to a child…..

Though my son Bode is not aware of the numerous responsibilities I set out to accomplish in a day he will be aware someday….because I now know the incredible sacrifice my mom made to being “just a mom” and with every fiber of my being…I am thankful.   

The ability to make a house a home and a safe haven for your children is not something that should be snubbed but instead rejoiced over.  

Being “just a mom” is giving yourself and all that you have to a life that will outlive you.

Being “just a mom” in its purest form is unconditional love.

Being “just a mom” is not abandoning your needs but embracing the needs of those you love most.

Being “just a mom” is sacrificing the now so that your child’s future does not have to pay a price.

Being “just a mom” provides stability and consistency in your child’s life…which in return creates a more stable and consistent adult.

Being “just a mom” is not a loss of identity it’s a title that should be worn proudly.

I believe if women begin to stand up and proudly say-“Yes I am “just a mom” and I am proud of it -that we would see a rise in history makers. I believe if the world had more women embracing the powerful unyielding influence a mother’s role plays in their child’s life we’d have many more children being leaders and not followers.

I am “just a mom” and to me that goes well beyond what the world says I am -for I know that being “just a mom” has long lasting impact well after I am dead and gone….

 

Children are a gift and if given this special gift….. being “just a mom” is fine by me…….

I am back :)

I know …I know…it’s been for ever…I  have had several people ask…why haven’t you written anything in your blog?? Well….I am excited and thrilled to announce that my husband and I are expecting another little bundle of joy-set to arrive early September!!!!

The last couple months have been spent in my pajamas laying on the living room floor as my little boy crawled around me thinking….”mom…why are you soooooo boring?”

To say I had little energy is a major understatement-I had NO energy! I even struggled to stay aware of current political events…and that’s not like me, and taking a shower was a major accomplishment! But ….I am back and feeling good!

So stay tuned…..

1 abortion, in every 95 seconds -is performed at Planned Parenthood alone. That statistic is from last year….God knows what it’s climbed to. Planned Parenthood reported receiving a record $542 million in taxpayer support in 2012, a hefty increase in government funding! Today I read that we as tax payers are now funding 45% of Planned Parenthood’s budget. This is insane…why are we paying for this!????

If you believe in God than you believe that he created life. If God created life, than is it still your right to take it?

If life does not begin at conception than when does it become a “life” and how… oh how can anyone have a right to take a life?

If you want the baby than it’s a baby…but if it’s unwanted than it’s a “fetus” and must be terminated….does that make any sense to you!???

I believe that someday….our children or children’s children will look back on what we have done as a society in great mournful sadness. They will not be able to fathom the fact that we took life so candidly from those that had no voice, just as today we look back on our history of slavery in complete disgusted astonishment.

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” are also the rights of the unborn!

It’s my right as a woman to do what I want to my body…No…not when there is a baby growing inside you and yes…it’s a baby…let’s not call it anything else simply because it is hidden by a veil of skin.

It is your right to keep your pants on.

It is your right to use a form of birth control…hell the government will buy it for you!
It is your right to adopt.
It is your right to abstain
But it is NOT your right to take a life.

Let’s focus on the war of those who cannot speak for themselves instead of this politically charged and only hearsay war on women.

Oh but Roe v Wade will never be overturned…it’s not worth the fight….really…really…if we really have become so desensitized that protecting innocent life is no longer a concern…than we have lost all hope as a civilization……. for this is the whole point of our existence. (And by the way…both women in the Roe v Wade ruling are now pro-life.)

I personally will not give up on the unborn because to me…they ARE worth fighting for- they have to be!

If you voted for the candidate that supports the “right to choose” over “the right to life”….you are supporting the death of millions of babies each year. A vote FOR something is a vote AGAINST something else. There is no grey zone when it comes to life.

By the 5th week after conception the baby’s heart is taking shape

By the 10th week after conception the baby’s elbows and the arms are already working
By the 11th week after conception the baby has fingernails and if it’s a girl…her ovaries are forming.
By the 13th week after conception the baby’s vocal cords have developed and though you might not hear them….GOD DOES.

54,559,615 Million babies have been killed in the United Statesalone since 1973
 
The option of not having an opinion on this issue or picking a side is no longer available…you must choose and fight……
 
Choose Life.

12 Ways the Government WASTES your Money!

~ Conservative Momma ~ 1 Comment

 

I decided to take my own advice and look into some ridiculous ways the government is wasting OUR tax dollars! These are just some of the various ways the governement has spent our tax dollars in the past couple years:

 

1) $175,587 – Study on Cocaine and the Risky Sex Habits of Quail—this is no joke!

2) $120,000,000 – Government Benefits for Dead People—-The government has been paying the dead for a while now, tax payers have paid over $600 million in the past five years. Most of the money consists of retirement and disability payments to deceased federal employees that we haven’t figured out are dead yet!

3) $550,000 – A Movie on How Rock ‘n’ Roll Helped Defeat Communism–that’s great…but ummm we’re 16trillion in debt!

4) $592,527 – Proving That Feces-Throwing Is a Communication Skill for Chimps—thank God, we figured this one out!

5) $25,000,000,000Spends maintaining and up keeping government buildings each year that are not even being used!  —–That’s 25 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!

6) $742,907 – Study on Sheep Grazing to Control Weeds—-apparently it takes over a half million to state the obvious when it comes to government!

7) $17,800,000 – Gifts to China—-Yep, we are sooooo in debt to this country and instead of using this money to pay China what we owe them, we are buying them gifts!  About $4.4 million was used to improve China’s environment and $2.5 million went to various social services….—what happens when China wants to start to collect the debt we owe them???

8) $198,000-Research done to find out whether social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook made people happy—-Happy until people get their paychecks this week…

9) $862,000 -Is used each year to store office furniture and Equipment the IRS doesn’t use.—-Ahhh the good ole’ IRS….they’re find a way to get ya any way they can!

 10) $30,000,000 -was spent on a program that helped Pakistanfarmers grow more mangos—I have no words.

 11) $750,000 Was spent to buy a soccer field for prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. —-Good….because if anything…let’s make sure terrorists have a pretty field to play on J

12) $1,800,000 Spent to build a Museum of Neon Signs in Las Vegas—-ya…that’s good…because Vegas needs a few more bright lights!

Interesting FACT:

According to the Government Accountability Office, if the U.S. were to switch to $1 coins instead of printing $1 bills, as so many other nations already have, it would save $5.5billion over 30 years, or $184million annually.

I’ll say it again and again…let’s elect Congress men and women that have a clue about money and spending! Enough of these morons’s running our country! Support Congressmen and women that support #TermLimits and have lived in the private sector! No more Career Politicians!  
 
Cut Spending Now!

THE FISCAL F UP

~ Conservative Momma ~ Leave a comment

On January 1st Congress supposedly “avoided” going of the Fiscal Cliff. So much talk of this “dumb” cliff….can we instead just call it “Americans have repeatedly elected the same congressmen over and over who really have no clue about economics but are instead career politicians that have little experience or knowledge of the private sector and because of this we are in an incredible unavoidable crisis, because yes…we have placed morons in charge of our finances.”

That’s going to be my new definition of the Fiscal Cliff.

Just so everyone is aware…The tax hikes that have been combined with the spending cuts, could trigger another and possibly even greater recession! The fiscal cliff avoidance that took place on Tuesday only postponed catastrophe.  Let’s clarify that postponing a problem is not fixing the problem. Two months from now lawmakers will have to face spending cuts and they will find themselves in a similar position — only this time-the debt ceiling will play a much larger role!

The ratio of tax increases in the plan approved is literally comical, when you compare the tax hikes to the spending cuts! The bill includes $620 billion in tax hikes and $15 billion in spending cuts.

So let’s just simplify this whole scenario….

     1)    We are in debt

2)    We continue to pretend like we are not

3)    Many believe that taxing the super wealthy will fix our debt problem

4)    The wealthy already pay 3x’s what the average American pays in taxes.

5)    Even if the wealthy paid almost 50% of their earnings in taxes it would only produce 400billion leaving us with a deficit of 1.1 trillion

6)    The rich’s tax would have to be taxed 88% in order for the budget to be balanced, the average rich person makes 300,000 a year which in turn would bring the riches income down to 36,000 a year. So then the average rich household is now making less than the average household.

7)    Ok so then the government decides to tax those making 100k a year in order to fix the deficit -that means if you make 50k and your spouse makes 50k you would be in this bracket and you would be taxed over half of what you make in order to fix this mess!
 
8) You tax the rich they no longer can afford to hire you

9)    The truth…taxing the wealthy is NOT going to fix this problem!

10)    The truth….we MUST cut spending

11)  The truth…cutting spending is NOT fun…in fact it’s painful…but it’s what we HAVE to do!

12)   The truth…if we don’t cut spending…our future and children’s future will suffer greatly.

13)  The truth…look at Europe…it’s broke and in a terrible mess….they taxed instead of cut spending…it doesn’t work!

Begin to research on ways the government completely WASTES your money…and you will soon realize CUTS CAN and SHOULD BE MADE!

Example:http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/20199058/5-ways-the-us-government-wastes-your-money#axzz2H28Qtd4L

It’s time to wake up! Speak up and Speak out! Write your congressman/women…better yet elect a new one…one that has a clue about money and spending!
