I usually enjoy Jill's comments and personality.  She makes her support for Obama apparent, which I believe the media should not do.  However, this morning when the new Gallup poll came out with the white women support numbers showing McCain well above Obama, she commented that they were stupid white women.  This reallly pissed me off.  No matter who I vote for the fact that she said that gives all white women a bad name.  Did anybody out there catch that? 

Yeah!!  Maternity leave is almost over! 

What a hard decision and daily heartbreak to leave the love of your life and go back to work!  Many working mom's have cried on the way to daycare or the babysitters, or leaving your baby at home.  (come on, we know who we are - mom's all cry in the car in those early days)  Hopefully Ricky D. won't put the high power lense on her on the Sepulveda pass anytime soon.

I for one have missed my girl very much, like a sister, growing up together.   After being the only other woman with my husband and I in bed when the TV alarm goes off, kinda didn't seem normal for awhile.

Are we ready for Jillian, the mother of all mothers??

Nice comments only.  I am the queen and have the power to delete!!

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS !!

I really try not to touch politics or religion too much with this blogging business, but I can't let this one go.  This is a war with young Americans giving their LIFE, not only for our country, but AT THEIR OWN HANDS.  This news story just broke my heart,  pissed me off and apparently is not a topic the media or the government wants to bring up.  I thank you Fox for bringing this to light, at least for me.  It may be hidden under that big white house rug, I don't know.  This is a side of war I never really thought of.  Check out Fox national news and  http://www.defenselink.mil

Apparently, of 99 Army personnel 25% on their 2nd or 3rd tour of duty killed THEMSELVES in the last year while deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan, not including attempts.  Of these twice as many WOMEN deployed as compared to non deployed women were among the 99 Americans.  Besides, the usual  reasons of stress, money, etc.  Why?  Maybe they  weren't psychologicaly ready.  Maybe they were just burnt out, yet had to keep coming back because nobody else was available.  I don't want to see a draft.  I feel we need to get out , reorganize,  replace the soilders that have been there since the beginning but definitley give more thorough medical exams before redeployment!

How can we be so strong yet be so worn out?  We have to take care of our soilders who are taking care of us, regardless of party lines or if you are for or against the war.    (Ironically 2006 is the highest suicide rate since 1991)  I wonder what "W" has to say.
