Just say "no" ... to vaccines!

"Love them. Protect them. Never inject them."


I LOVE it! :D It's a excellent and clever alternative to the absurd propaganda: "Love them. Protect them. Immunize them." See more about it here.

Props to Wendy Callahan of Hawthorne, FL, to whom the slogan is credited!

Actually, I should mention that I do not believe that parents who choose to vaccinate their children are not loving them or protecting them. I was just really irked by the original slogan and the amended version made me chuckle.

Katie is 6 now. She had a birthday at the end of May. My parents and grandpa were here and we went to the Mall of America and rode some rides. The kids had a lot of fun. We also had a little party in the back yard with some of her friends.

I bought a paper journal for the first time in a long time. I thought it might be nice to have a hobby I could practice away from the computer. It might help me organize my thoughts a bit and be relaxing, hopefully therapeutic, as well. I will continue to blog, though I know I have not been very good about updating, as it is!

We had a bit of a problem with discussions about Santa, recently, between Katie and the neighbor kids, who believe. She told them Santa wasn't real. Oops! I talked to her about it and she agreed to not say as much about it next time, but she mentioned it again today. :-o She said she forgot and I believe her. I'm stressing to her the importance of allowing their family to participate in those traditions, but I am not responsible for her behavior, either. I'm doing all I can by reminding her. Hopefully, she will remember next time.

I wish I could take a looong nap! Maybe Luke will nap in a bit. That would be nice!

I'm going to end now. I hope you all are having a good week!
