Things have been going pretty slow at home. Dawnell has been working on J’s bedroom trying to get it ready incase he comes back home. She has made it basically into a spiderman room with spiderman border and a big spiderman wall cling, I think she even has the sheets, blanket and bedspread all in spiderman.
Shane is getting ready for school, so far he seems excited but he still hasn’t decided if he wants to play football or not yet. I guess it all depends on who is playing this year.
I only have one day off this weekend so it will be a long pay period work wise. I really don’t like the 4 on 2 off schedule especially when you only get the one day off.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY I CAN’T GET MY YOUTUBE VIDEO’S TO POST AND SHOW UP?

PARLIAMENT OF PAKISTAN HAS MORE BALLS THAN U.S. CONGRESS
It appears that the Pakistani Parliament leaders have more balls than the leaders of the U.S. Congress. Pakistani Parliament leaders say they will seek impeachment procedings against Musharraf on charges that he “eroded the trust of the nation” during his eight years in power.
In the past Musharraf has said he would resign before he faced impeachment hearings.
No other Pakistani leader has ever faced impeachment. Most are usually assinated or become the victim of a coup.

GEORGE BUSH SAID:
“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
–George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 13, 2008
