McCain/Palin Don’t Stand A Chance
Posted on September 3, 2008, by Kim, under Family, Politics.
WOW! This couldn’t be a bigger Ms.Conception!!! I am watching Sarah Palin and I am totally impressed with her! I can’t wait to see how this election unfolds.
I will have to say that this match for Republican president and vice president is a great one and a very brilliant move on John McCain’s part. The genius behind it was not only a shock to me, but to the entire voting public.
I know she has some issues in her family with her 17 year old daughter getting pregnant, but what family in the United States hasn’t encountered problems? Granted many families haven’t encountered teenage pregnancy, but many have and how cool is it, that now those families have someone representing them that is going through the same thing. I also love how she pledged tonight to the families of special needs that she would be their advocate in office. This is huge. What a way to start making a difference in this messed up world.
Sarah Palin, is a strong woman who has her head on straight and this team has my vote!

Cancer Happens to Older Women
Posted on August 27, 2008, by Kim, under Family, Health & Beauty.
Okay, so this is a more serious post, sorry! I was reminded just the other day by my mom that she was 36 when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. By God’s healing hand, she is still with me today and I take that for granted far to much! I couldn’t imagine what life would be without her. Sure, there are times when we don’t see eye to eye, and I get frustrated, but I am quickly reminded what the other option is. I do know that when either one of us leaves this earth, I want it to be on good terms–Love you mom!
Now, I just turned 34 and while I know it isn’t true, I feel like I’ve got a while before I need to start getting those most important exams. I have lost many people in my family because of cancer and I am watching God work in so many lives through a friend who is battling cancer daily. I absolutely hate cancer. I can’t believe it even exists, so with that in mind, think about how I might feel about those dreaded tests.
I know it needs to be done, so my charge to you as a woman who hasn’t gone through the testing–let’s bond together and take care of ourselves! Our families deserve it!
If you are like me and haven’t had your testing, share with me why it’s hard for you to jump right in to have it done. If you have had testing, let the readers know what it’s like with no candy coating! We need to have it done, it’s just a matter of when.

Back To School Always Gets Easier
Posted on August 5, 2008, by Kim, under Education, Family.
Yet another Ms.Conception! This summer has been the best summer our family has ever had. We did a lot of fun things together. Jason and I realized that we won’t have our children forever, so we are taking advantage of the time that we do have. We have been camping twice this year and surprised the kids with a couple of late night movies, plus the kids got to go away for the first time to Ohio to spend the week with their Aunt Kendra.
Ethan and Abby have done a lot of growing up this summer. They are kids, and they love to have fun, but one thing that I have been working on them with is getting along and learning how to give in to other’s wishes. It’s hard for them to learn outward focus at this age, but little lessons here and there have really paid off! Ethan and Abby have gotten along this summer so well and both of them have been willing to compromise and meet halfway on things.
They started school today. Abby proudly walked into her first grade class without looking back. As I watched my little girl climbing up one more rung of her life’s ladder, I couldn’t help thinking about what I went through after she was born, and I just stood there thanking God for the blessings He’s given me! Ethan had to be at school a whole hour earlier than Abby, so he went with Jason. Ethan got the teacher he wanted! Mrs. Ponchot! She is very pretty, so I am hoping that he’ll actually learn this year!
Well, the hardest thing this summer by far has been sending the kids back to school. After the summer we’ve had, I just wasn’t done with them. It’s sad, but I know this is what I am suppose to do. Teach and train and set them free.
