NO!!!!!!!!!! Not Mark Dayton too!!!!!!!!!!
Oh what will I do with all the extra money coming from the BushCo tax cut? Wow…I just keep thinking about how we are now going to really be able to buy all those things we have always wanted but have just never been able to afford. That $300 extra dollars a year, not including the $800 child credit, is really going to come in handy. Wow!

I forgot… was this tax cut suppose to create jobs? Because today in MN at least 770 people got pink slips and those are just the ones who made it into the news. How many jobs were created from the BushCo tax cut in 2001? How many jobs do you think this tax cut will create? Hmmm…I wonder how many more of the rich will benefit from this tax cut versus us regular folk?
Is this really worth it? Is that extra money going to really make a difference in your life? Are we as a nation this greedy? How does any of this make sense? I can’t believe people are willing to do this for such a small return. I just can’t believe as a society we have become so greedy we don’t care about children or schools. How much lower can we sink? Yuck!
My sister is moving on Thursday and she’s taking my cute little baby with her!! I’m excited for her because she has wanted back into the cities since she moved to Glencoe. But I’m sad that they are leaving us out here all alone. No more breakfasts at Country Kitchen, no more dinners at Pizza Hut and no more being able to babysit Cade while Tracy and Tony go shopping. I don’t mean to be all sappy but it was at least bearable out here with them in Glencoe. It will be very different with them away. I’m sure I will spend more time in the cities then I ever did before since there is nothing out here for us to do. But like I said I’m excited for them to be able to get back to the real world. Tracy deserves it. It has been so much harder on her out here then it has on me. I will just be sad to see them all go. Hopefully, we won’t be stuck out here for long. My feeling about Hutch change daily. One day I hate the town and the next day it seems ok. I don’t think I will ever feel at home here. There are too many things that have made me feel alienated that I doubt I will ever feel welcome. Damn this construction!! If it wasn’t for that we would be moving too!
A woman stopped by today while Ben and I were outside painting the house. She asked us if she could come inside our house because it was the house her grandparents built. She just wanted to look around and see it cause it has been so many years since she had been in there. Of course we said yes. She was amazed at how it looks almost exactly liked it looked back then. The carpet and everything is the same as it was when she was a kid. I hate the carpet but I have a new respect for it now that I realize how old it is and how well it has stood the test of time. We also found out that our family room used to be a garage which explains a lot about the room because it is so cheap looking. She said her family drive by whenever they are in town and that it has been interesting to watch what all the different owners have done. I thought that was pretty amazing. It’s was so much like a scene from a movie.
We are not only the first stage to be completed but our house must have been chosen as the first spot to be ripped up. Yep, at 7:18 this morning I was awaken by horrible scraping sound and the house vibrating. The kids came flying into my room to ask me why the house was shaking. I told them it’s the construction outside. So they continue to watch and update me on the construction until I finally rolled myself out of bed to get a look at it myself. I want to thank the f*ckin’ city for letting us know. Great communication guys!!! Jeez, this really pisses me off. I do not take well to other people controlling my activates but if I have to live with it for this short time I would really appreciated some f*ckin’ notice!!!! I hope I will be able to get out of the driveway to bring Jaycie to her preschool graduation!! Otherwise, I think I’ll have to walk. Ben told me to just go tell them that I’m going to need to get out. But I don’t think I can do that. We’ll see…
We finally received the project information regarding the construction on our street this summer. Looks like for about 3-4 weeks we will have limited access to our driveway which means we will have to park on another street and walk to the house. We will also have a temporary above ground water line. We are the first stage of the project which shocked me because when this was all in planning it sounded as if we would be one of the last stages. I’m a little disturbed by the lack of communication from the city. We received the notice today and they are starting either tomorrow or thursday. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised too much it is Hutchinson after all but still I expected a little more time. One benefit of being the first stage is that we will be the first done so that isn’t so bad. I just wonder how the whole water thing is going to be. Like with laundry and stuff. It should prove to be an interesting experience. Hopefully, when it is all said and done we will actually be able to move out of this god forsaken town!!!
This article is about the son of my uncle’s girlfriend. I’m just sick to my stomach about the whole thing. How can anyone do that to a 7 week old baby? I just can’t imagine how anyone could physically do something like that. Hitting a 7 week old baby in the head? Come on! How does that even seem like a good idea? They are so fragile and I just can’t believe he would even think of that. I understand the frustration of a baby crying non stop but that is when you put the baby safely in the crib and walk away for awhile. That poor little baby! I feel bad for the Mom and my uncle’s girlfriend. I can’t even begin to imagine how they both are feeling. I’m sure Ryan feels bad too but I can’t feel sorry for him right now.
