You are entitled to a full days pay for just showing up. The economy works when we work. I hear to often how hard it is to get a job, or “I’m worried I’m to going to lose my job.” In the current economic climate that is possible. You should ask yourself what is your value to your employer. Are you keeping up in your field? Do you give that full days work for a full days pay.

Children are our future. Most parents are good parents. They set a proper example for their children and raise potential leaders in a loving environment. Children learn from their parents, teachers and family and friends. It seems these days that it is harder to raise children as parents have less influence than the media, their peers and society as a whole. It is tougher to raise children in this high tech society, but good parents always find a way.

I get a shower and wake up the boys and my husband is up shaving and showering and the boys are getting dressed. I don’t know how they do it. No ritual for them.
