This Guy

O man, I am trying to be so patient with him. It's almost over. However, I am a little disturbed by this fact.
The "no child left behind act" makes it mandatory that military recruiters have access to the names, phone numbers, and addresses of all students in post secondary school. It also makes it mandatory that the military has has an equal amount of access to students as potential schools ( colleges) or employers.
WTF?!?!?!
I have nothing to say about this right now. But that is some sneaky insidious shit man. We can talk about how it is classist, racist and disgusting at some other time.

Just wanted to mention.......

So, I went to the GHC meeting last night. There were lots of folks there. Wait let me back up and say that it was way more formal than I thought it would be. I don't know what I was thinking, these are doctors, at their annual company meeting. Why did I show up in my garden clogs and dragon fly shirt? O well. I was there, and was ever so obviously not dressed for the occassion, sticking out like the homebirth hippie I really am :)

But aside from my inappropriate attire, there were lots of great comments made on behalf of homebirth, and "alternative birthing options" for woman. ie, midwives, birth centers, homebirth. I was proud to be there, and make my voice heard. It seems as if GHC is listening, and is certainly a pioneer in many aspects of health care, especially for the state of WI. They have a very comprehensive "complimentary" medicine program. I hate that term. It infers that these methods of healing should be secondary to mainstream medicine. These therapies ( massage, chiro, accupuncture...) should be complimentary to a healthy diet ( that means as much organic food as possible), and exercise. They should be used first in non life threatening conditions, and in conjunction with more serious procedures if necessary.

However, all that said. I left feeling rather proud of my HMO. I certainly wasn't invited to any annual company meeting at Cigna to talk about homebirth.

As an added bonus, there was an elderly rabblerouser at my table......I wish I had his picture. Man, he was great! There was also some angry man who doesn't like CSA's. lol. who doesnt like CSA's?... ah well. I am sure there were some people at that meeting going. homebirth? who doesn't like to have their baby in the hospital? To each his own, and last night. I stuck up for my own, and it felt damn good.

Good night good people.

WOW!

Eco Painting @ the Isthmus Green Day Expo

So, I still have not decided what genre of blog this is.....right now it has no genre.
It is just the random musings of a busy mama.......

So today's blog is an ode to Eco Painting.
Eco Painting is an exceptional business. It really is. I am proud of my husband, and of the company he runs. I mean, if someone else was doing it, I would be proud of them too. It's just good work.
So recently Jb was in the Isthmus "green" day expo. Green businesses in Madison turned out to ......well.... hang out, and talk to each other, and consumers.....
It was a good (busy) day. Jb was inundated with people and questions, and the kiddos had a good time too.....And mama was very satisfied with herself for putting all Eco Painting's promotional materials together, on a moments notice. So in short, my family kicks ass. And here are some pictures to prove it.....ENJOY.....
