So being a stay at home mom isn't work, huh...

I respond with a quote from G.K. Chesterton:

"To be Queen Elizabeth within a definite area, deciding sales, banquets, labours, and holidays; to be Whitely within a certain area, providing toys, boots, cakes and books; to be Aristotle within a certain area, teaching morals, manners, theology, and hygiene; I can imagine how this can exhaust the mind, but I cannot imagine how it could narrow it. How can it be a large career to tell other people about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can one be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No, a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute."

Hear, hear!

Wisdom for Wednesday...

In honor of the rapidly approaching deadline for filing your income tax, these words:

THE POINT TO REMEMBER IS
THAT WHAT THE GOVERNMENT GIVES
IT MUST FIRST TAKE AWAY.
--John S. Coleman

Thanks to all for your forced contribution.
