because I am up to my eyeballs in state capitals and parts of the human body at this moment . . .
my brain is FRIED

That's what I really want to do with my kids . . . Lock them up and toss the key. NO, not because they are driving me BONKERS (That's a story for another day) but because I am scared for them.
Remember when we were kids?
We could hang out in the neighborhood with the other kids as long as we were home before dark, we could turn the tv on without our moms going in panic mode, WE COULD NOT go to R rated movies, We enjoyed the occasional Happy Meal without worrying about obesity.
:Gasp:
And NO we did not have the option to get 2 % milk or apple slices
I know there was crime back then but you just didn't hear about it like you do now.

I have to go outside with my kids at all times because you just never know who is lurking around the corner.
I have to make sure they don't watch the BAD cartoons.
(BAD CARTOONS?? What ever happened to the Smurfs?)
I have to make sure to fast foward most of the commercials that come on regular tv.
I have to BAN certain barbie dolls and these things too.
And then I have the INTERNET/CELL PHONE issue to look forward to.
MySpace, Facebook, Sexting, chat rooms, Cyber Bullies......
Ya know, as much as I love my computer/internet sometimes I wish there was NO internet.
:Gasp:
I can honestly say that I am glad that myspace and facebook were not around when I was a teenager. I have heard about the horror stories that surround some of these teens and I just don't know how I would have handled those issues back then.
I am one of those types that can get easily offended and my feelings can get hurt very easily too.
I DO NOT WANT MY KIDS TO DEAL WITH THIS but is there a way around it??
In this day and time?
What are your thoughts?
Do you wish we could go back in time?
(Hey, the cartoons were better!)

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
