Bail outs and other crises


We are having a fun week despite personal and public crises. Monday the house rejected a bail out bill. The senate is supposed to vote on it this evening so we are watching with fingers crossed on that one. It is amazing how this issue has been so politicized and distorted. It has set up sort of a perfect storm for our economy and it is quite scary. Robert has been explaining a lot to me in detail and it is amazing at how there is so much misinformation out there. It seems to me that what happens here and what happens in a month with the election will determine the course of country for sometime. It seems like we are on the brink and it is hard to tell what is on the other side. Could be disaster, could be rebirth.
Despite the turmoil it is nice to know that little ones continue unjaded by our self inflicted drama. Adam continues to fight his nap and his brother. Monday we went to the park with our friends Clara, Isaac and Alondra. Tuesday I was home with Adam on a sick day. He had a fever that started Monday night and we were up all night. I got about one hour of sleep. Although I was sad for Adam to be sick it was kind of nice to slow down for a minute. He vegged out in front of the T.V. and slept a bunch and I got a ton of work done in the house.
This morning we went to Peachtree Ridge park over in Suwanee which is really nice. There are so many nice parks in Gwinnett. It is a glorious day with a high of about 71 degrees. Nice change of pace since it has been so warm.
