How are we raising our children?

I was reading an article on Glenn Beck's web site. An article written by a guy named Joe Kerry. an excerpt from that article made me think;

"I have wondered what the statistics would look like if the Titantic sank today. I wonder what percentage of men versus women would survive. In the end I think it truly would be every man, woman and child for themselves. What a sad commentary on how we have raised our children that would be."
(On April 15th the Titantic sank. Amazingly 74 percent of the women lived while 80 percent of the men died. The only explanation that makes sense and confirmed by many of the survivors is that the men knowingly gave up their best chance at survival when they willingly insisted that woman and children get into the scare lifeboats. Those men on that day did not just decide to make such a selfless sacrifice but rather had been raised and taught that there is so much incredibly more to life then me, me and me.)

The article he wrote (click here to read all of it) talks about how malls are beginning to make regulations that all children must be accompanied by an adult after 4pm! Wow, seemed kind of harsh when I first read this, but the statistics show that more families came to the mall, theft was down, and purchases were up. Seems the teenagers of today are making people uncomfortable.
I know that when I went to the mall (ok, it was much cooler 10 years ago) as a teenager I did not scare anyone- I know I never stole anything- and I would usually buy something (even if it was a "double doozie cookie" from Mrs. Fields!!! or share a cheeeezy fry with my best friend Amber.
I am not sure where I am going with this so I will leave all other thoughts up to you.

One answer to soaring gas prices

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"

This sentence has something very unique about it. See if you can figure it out. I will post the answer tomorrow. (to all 4 of my readers! Good luck!)

I was trying to take some sweet pictures of the boys, but this is the moment I captured!

Something Cool

I believe this item needs to be added to the "COOL" list. If there is such a list.

Its a watch called the Nooka V2 Watch.

I would not pay this much for a watch. But if you want one you can find them at Target!

Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News

The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marine's made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. "I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it," she said. "I think that's what he would like."

"They knocked us down, but they can't keep us down..."

These are the words of a man who is a part of the project to build a Navy ship from the steel of the World Trade Centers. I saw this story on my lunch today. This is a story that will make you proud to be an American.

PARENTS! Here is one more thing to add to your "That's dangerous!" list...my list is running out of room

This morning my little boy woke up about 5am ( I could hear him crying on the monitor). Too early. At six I am getting in the shower. He is still somewhat crying, but I can tell he is not really awake. So I hope he will drift back to sleep. At 6:45 I am running late. I go to get him out of his bed, and he wont sit up, he starts crying and holding his neck saying ouch! (which actually sounds like "out" because he cant do the"ch" yet) I think, oh his allergy's have dried his throat, he needs a drink. So I leave to fetch him a sippy cup of milk. I come back, I talk to him, he just keeps crying. He is not usually like this, and he won't look at me. Which is very strange. So I call for his daddy- he is very much the daddy's boy...and then I realize he has a string around his neck! Well I get all nervous and my hands start to shake (the last time I reacted like this was when he was 6 months and got a fish hook in his lip!!!!) When he gets really hurt I have a hard time taking control of my nerves. I pull on the cord, but that made it worse.
What happended was a long string from the pillow had wrapped around his neck, and when he flipped over in his sleep it just kept getting tighter. So thank God his dad was around, it had gone around his neck about 4 times! He was ok, I wasnt.
