UN Wants Last Word on Raising Our Children


If the Senate approves the "UN Convention on the Rights of the Child", the world , not parents, will decide how to rear children.

The "Convention on the Rights of the Child" sets out these rights in 54 articles that spell out the basic human rights of children everywhere: right to survival; to develop to the fullest; protection from abuse ; (Yes ,great who disagrees but...) protection from harmful influences; to participate fully cultural and social life. (What might this mean? Can only be defined by them as what a harmful influence might be. Also do parents have a say in if we want our children to participate or not.) The four core principles of the Convention are non-discrimination; devotion to the best interests of the child; the right to life, survival and development; and respect for the views of the child. The Convention protects children's rights by setting standards in health care; education; and legal, civil and social services.

If the Senate ratifies Rights of the Child, the state, acting under UN direction, will decide what your children read, who they associate with, what discipline (if any) can be imposed and whether or not they can be home schooled (home-schooled children perform significantly better academically than their peers in public schools).

The UN should have no role in the upbringing of America's children. Congress has no role in state school systems under the 10th Amendment.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Get Back To Work Girls!!

Some days are just for getting things done. I love busy days. As soon as you wake up suddenly the day feels fresh and new, and you feel urged to open all the windows , as if everything depended on letting in the sunshine . You feel you just have to hurry round and Organize Something, like dresser drawers or for Writing a to do list Signed "Mom". A beautiful sort of day, when everybody says "Yes, mommy" and "No, mommy," and waits until you tell them whats next on the list. It is a perfect morning for saying "put it in the box" and "someone find the broom," and then going to the kitchen and saying "oh, here it is." You can't help respecting anybody who can keep a clean house, even if it's not clean for long; but cleaning isn't everything. There are days when a clean house simply doesn't count; like when you know there is nobody coming to visit.

Keeping Me On My Toes

The horror on my face to find the kitchen floor , walls, chairs and stove covered in red . I gasp to see my 2 year old standing in the middle of the floor covered in green and red, just as he finished drinking the last of the blue. It was food coloring. His teeth and skin were stained for days.
His blond hair was now a shade of orange.

Mothers GUILT!!!

Trying to give the same attention, hugs, and time to each child during the day. I do my best not to leave anyone out, but sometimes at the end of the the day I think I should have given more of myself. With children half my time is spent trying to get them to come and half trying to get them to stay. You can learn many things from children, like the ability to endure delay and procrastination without becoming annoyed. To teach the concept "come and stay", I need to do the same when they call me to play.

The Grocery Store

I remember, when we only had one child and we would get ready and get out the door in a matter of seconds. It can be easy having one child. Being a little girl she had a gentle disposition and was very mild and easy to manage. To take one child to the store can actually be very enjoyable. 5 years later we had our second, a little boy and only a few months later, pregnant with #3, baby boy. Now going anyplace is no easy task. We have a time limit and if we pass that line things start going down hill fast. Yes, I never thought it would happen to me but I was the woman two rows over at the grocery store with the crying child. That was me having to leave a full cart of grocery's and hurry out embarrassed. I remember once only needing diapers and formula, a must have, and the baby started to cry. We ended up being in the slow check out line. Tears in my eyes I couldn't look at anyone and when I finally got to the car I sat cried.

So now that the children are getting older we can do more. I am very proud of how good they are when we go places and I can't complain, I only have 3 , my sister has 4. Today I am going to take the kids to the doctors office, the baby has a checkup and shots.
(I pray the kids are good!)

Dear Fans, Intrigued by the term "domestic housewife"? WARNING This term may suggest three things, that I have been domesticated, that I stay home, and that I am a wife. Wow, the hard truth is for me, it's all true!
To the woman who decides the occupation of caring for her home and family, Rock On!! Who said anything about stupid? I have had many major accomplishments and this is but the greatest. Boot camp was 100 times easier and I would actually consider it the equivalent of a spa vacation. Life does not end now that I am a mom, so try not to loose your self in the suburban neighborhood. The homemaker has a secret. She feels like a fraud hidden behind the doors of her beautiful home. She gives the deception of little effort, when in fact there is a never ending struggle to keep a clean house. You are selling yourself short, You are not a fraud. Look at all the effort it takes to keep your family running. So when you are recognized for your perfectionist attitude, cooking, gardening, and work ethic, which at times borders on obsessive compulsion, it's time to take some credit for a job well done.
