Spiffy news and a swerve back to reality.

First the news. I applied to become a blogger for the national Tea Party website and was accepted. Yay spaceships! Now I have two blogs, one for the political stuff and one for reality. For now, you can access my first political post at "www.newpatriotjournal.com" or "www.teapartypatriots.org" . The New Patriot Journal is the blogging arm of the Tea Party.
All was well in life. Reality came home with Cortlan in the form of a home fire escape plan. Here it is in all it's glory.

 Instantly I noticed that his first strategy to survive a house fire was to shout MOM! MOOOOOM!

He said, "then I noticed that everyone else was drawing maps."

You will need to know that the "M's" you see everywhere are pieces of fire. I had to tell him that if there was that much fire, we were already dead.

If you look closer, you will see the words "hide" and "attic" crossed out. He asked Phil if the crawlspace and the attic were good places to hide. My husband had to explain the working nature of the phrase "deathtrap".

If this fire plan is what's standing between my family and the obituaries, it looks like my prospects of getting all 4 children to adulthood are slim. I bequeath my fine collection of casserole pans to Denny's.
