Today I was off to Mitchell with the kids to visit my friends while Cory took the day off and stayed at home. I think he had a good time - touched up paint in few places - and we definitely had a good time hanging out with everyone today.

I think I'm going to search for some kids' yoga videos. Accalia saw pictures of some pregnant women doing yoga and was really excited by it. I've wanted to start practicing yoga for the longest time but just haven't gotten around to it. I'd say we could check a video out from our library, but our library's a bit of a joke when it comes to subjects such as yoga :)

Okay, quick vent about the Dixie Chicks and many peoples' responses to statements made by their lead singer. It really, really bothers me that people living in a democracy and supporting a war that supposedly will help bring about some of these democratic freedoms to other people get so upset when someone expresses an opinion that they don't necessarily agree with! Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of the best parts of living in a democracy the ability to have differing opinions and be allowed to express them? And yes, it's also a person's right to say they will boycott something because they don't agree with the person or product. But to say that a person is un-American because they criticize the President select? That's just ridiculous. There's nothing un-American about disagreeing with Bush's war policy. I am really, really disappointed in Natalie Maines, the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, though. I'm disappointed because she first took a stand on the war and then apologized and basically retracted her earlier statement because of the public outcry.
