Sunday, Mothers day, cheating & War
What a week it's been!! As we go through our paper work with a fine tooth comb, we realize that we have been bamboozled, snookered, cheated by our former screenprinter. Today, we'll be counting the shirts that are not up to our standards.....we're making them available for transfer back to the company in exchange for "credit". That's what our attorney calls it, I want a monetary refund. We'll also be hiring an accountant.....the numbers are insidiously off.
That's how I'll be spending mothers day. Rob, our web designer and Angell, our good friend, buddy and sometime office manager are supposed to come over and help, hopefully it won't be too bad.
I can't understand why someone would overcharge a loyal customer - heck, I can't understand cheating anyone! Life is hard enough without be cheated. I was there - at their company - every week.....and they cheated us.
I've also been thinkin about how this society rewards cheaters, liars, bullies and the such.
Lot's of stuff to think about this day.
There are the Gold Star moms......how heartbreaking it must be to arrive at Mothers Day and your baby is in a body bag or a grave, all in the name of freedom. When those soldiers arrive at your door, I don't think it matters whether or not mom voted for Bushco or Kerryco....all that matters is that the beautiful baby you grew, you delivered, you fed, you nurtured, you cheered on and you taught, that beautiful, brilliant baby has died in a foreign land and for what? Really? For what?
The question that must be asked - are we any safer? No, records show that terrorist attacks are at their highest since 1984.
We are also losing more and more of our freedom. Now there's talk of a national ID. How will that keep us safe. It won't. It will just make it easier for the government to track us. Is that why our sons & daughters, our husbands & wifes, our sisters, brothers, friends & neighbors are dying? So we can be as sheep?
When will we open our eyes and realize that the war machine will, eventually, chew up our young....except, of course, for the young of the rich.
When will we open our eyes and realize that as we obsessively shop, we are suporting terrorism? For our shopping supports the war machine which needs to have an enemy to fight!
I am fortunate, no one in my family isin battle. For me, that makes this an awesome Mothers Day.
For those moms that are agonizing because their kids are at war.....we pray for you and wish for a speedy end to the conflict.
