Saturday....

Husband laying on the couch, a Sierra finishing a bath, Celeste and Savannah playing Angry Birds-Season edition on my phone, and me typing up a blog entry. Sounds like an exciting Saturday evening, huh?
 

I spent most of the day traveling an hour to Walmart in Cortez, stocking up on vitamins and food, finding the non-existent birthday present for Celeste, and picking out a new bike for Savannah because she won big at school for reading every day for a month. She wanted a tiger bike, bright orange with black stripes, but became smitten by the "Mongoose" pink and black trick bike. Learning that a mongoose is a furry critter who attacks cobras made the bike extra special. The smile was huge.

Then I spent another hour coming home, the luxury of living in rural Utah. Now I am listening on and off to the news in the background and becoming concern that I have not kept track of the Republican candidates who love slashing out at each other. I wish some candidate would just stand out as being fabulous and wonderful, no mud slinging methods to attract our attention. I also wish I knew more of what is going on in our country besides the inflation ordeal. Being stuck on preschool cartoons all day and one older child pleading to watch her tween shows in the evening gives me no chance to watch any type of news unless it’s at 10pm when I’m too tired to want to listen. Of course I could read up on the latest news on my phone but I haven’t quite got into the habit to do so, and if I do remember to look then someone interrupts. No one likes to see me pay any slight attention to something involving a computer and internet. 

And then again, politics and economics don’t interest me which is probably the biggest reason I don’t know what is happening.
