What Happened to Responsibility?

So who am I….I am the somewhat silent voice of the millions of mothers out there in this huge nebula of confusion.  I say somewhat silent because I have a lot to say and sometimes I speak my mind to some incredibly important people like my husband, children and a few unsuspecting victims which accidentally fall into my path.  But let’s be honest not many.  I felt now was a good time to say really how a common run of the mill American Mother  feels about well…..everything.  Everything that matters to me as I see it and as I see you ought to see it.  Now you ask what are my credentials, nothing, nothing at all that matters to the great minds of our time like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and of course Barack O’ Bama.  I have no great scholarly degrees from Harvard and Yale.  In truth I have a Master’s in Dance Education but have spent the bulk of my adult life sweeping floors, doing laundry, and making an assortment of economy driven casseroles for a family of eight. ( and while we are on the subject of casseroles, since Michelle O’Bama is determined to tell me how to feed my children and how much to feed them, I was just curious as to her credentials of Nutrition and Health.)  But….I digress…I had the greatest education of all…well not the dance degree which I used for a total of 4 years, but the education of life.  I was a simple farm girl with two parents.  Yes we ate a lot of meat and potatoes and yes my mother packed my lunch without health inspectors.  Weird huh?  How did our parents ever raise us using their own wisdom and not having the government tell them what to feed us, how to raise us, what we should learn and what free programs to enroll us in.  Our parents must have been insane to trust themselves to such a task with such archaic knowledge.  I only wish we could go back to that era long enough for everyone to see that the whole government run your life craze isn’t really working that well…but for now I see it’s time to sweep again and check online for any new casserole recipes….anyone know Michelle O’Bama’s e-mail maybe she could send me some ideas.
