We live in a very conservative Christian town. Ostensibly this would mean that there is a huge charity focus, residents would be non-judgmental, kind, and accepting.
And I was called a bleeding heart liberal- because of my political leanings.
I prefer compassionate.
I do not like seeing people have to choose between medical care and food- I strongly oppose that.
The environment needs to be protected- we only have one planet- we need to treasure it and care for it.
I do not like seeing oppressed people further oppressed. I will stand with anyone who tries to stop it.
I do not like seeing people victimized. I will stand with any one to try and stop it.
My beliefs and morals are mine... and they guide my behavior and choices- but I may not impose them on anyone else. Our government was founded on the principle of religious freedom (freedom of religion and from religion).
Maybe I am a bleeding heart liberal. I hope I can raise my kids to be compassionate bleeding heart liberals too.
Long time no write

Quite often as I am going through the day, I think of things I want to write about and even go about composing a post in my head.... then something else happens. It is an occupational hazard of having a big family.
Have you ever noticed the "Mama feeling"?
The other day Princess came downstairs and said her throat was sore- not terribly sore just a bit scratchy. My mama radar started dinging. Something was off. She wasn't running a temperature and she was not acutely ill- something just seemed off. I swear I felt like Ms. Clavel from the Madeline books.
I already had appointments for 2 kids at our doctor for that afternoon (we see a family practice doctor so we all see the same person) so I called and added her on.
She had strep. I talked with B and he said that he thought she seemed fine and would have sent her on her way. There was nothing concrete that I could say: this is why I took her to the doctor. Just a feeling. Its not the first time its happened either.
Does anyone else have mama gut? Or just a feeling something isn't right?
