Hell in a Handbasket for sure…

I saw this on the Today Show this morning and I was absolutely stunned.  My heart is broken for this man…even moreso for his family.  What has happened to us??  What is wrong with this society that we’d leave a man alone to die in a street while we watch??  Where is compassion, humanity?  God must be so ashamed.

We talk a good game.  “We must save the environment!  Stop AIDS!  Feed the hungry!  Raise millions of dollars for the homeless!” 

Maybe we should start by saving the one that’s in front of us.  Or at least hold a dying man’s hand so he doesn’t have to make the journey alone.

I declare Monday, June 9th, BonBon Day!

Okay Ladies (and Zan…and Tojo if you’re watching)  I am declaring this coming Monday as BonBon Day….you know…let’s sit around and eat bon-bons all day BonBon Day? 

I have been in a bit of a lazy funk this week.  Of course, duty calls and I find myself half-arsing through my chores, never getting anything really accomplished, but feeling too guilty to actually do nothing.  So, I figure, if I take a “day off” (other than motherly duty type stuff) maybe I’ll get it out of my system and can go back to being productive.  It can’t be tomorrow or Friday, since I have too many responsibilities those days, and it can’t be the weekend, so that leaves Monday.  The only day with nothing on my calendar for the next few weeks. 

So who’s with me????  Pajamas, a good book, and of course, bon-bons.  No housework!  I won’t even get the baby dressed…he can have a PJ day too!  Only kid related care allowed.  Man, I have a lot to do this weekend to get ready for my big day off!  But it’ll be worth it.  So who’s with me?  We’ll exchange stories when it’s over. 

(And those of you who are working, don’t you feel a terrible griping in your stomach?  Or a sore throat that’s bound to become something awful by Monday?  *cough*cough*cough*  Do it…you know you want to.)
