My husband and I have been doing nothing but sitting and vegetating this evening. A rarity anymore.
Watched TV, surfed the net and watched our grandson explore with blocks. How cool is that?
We also looked at the calendar for the next month. Tomorrow night is a band concert with our son on the tuba. It is also an Obama speech regarding sending troops into Afghanistan. I am trying to balance the evening so I can see both. Sounds kind of strange but I do want to see both. Sam is in band and I am not going to miss a concert. But he is 14 and in another 3 1/2 years he will be 18.
See where I am going with this?
We stay in Afghanistan, he might be eligible to go. Should the draft ever be reinstated, my girls might be brought in to the war as well.
Scares the pee out of me.
I don't pretend to understand all the politics of the Afghanis. Heck, I am not sure they do!
What I do know is I don't want to lose any of my children to war. No one does.
So somehow we will watch Sam and the President and hope and work towards the best.
