More Playtime!! Please!!

Today I had the full intention of not getting on the computer this morning. The last couple of days I have been tied to the computer for one reason or another, but mostly trying to teach myself Photoshop. So I promised myself that I would check my email and that would be it for the day. So what happens? I check my email and there was a big headline story saying that there is a rice shortage. I am totally into the whole preparedness thing, so of course I had to open it and read it. It seems that we currently have a very large rice shortage here in the US and that even Costco, and Sam's Club have put a stop to selling rice in their stores. So this led me to google "food shortage" to find that we currently have a food shortage in wheat, corn and rice! Some people have even gone as far to say that wheat is currently worth more than money in some countries. On CNBC they stated that the food shortage is going to continue to get worse as farmers are not able to afford the feed (grains) to feed their livestock, which will drive up the costs of meat & dairy products. They suspect that in the next 8 months there will be a definite change in the US food supply and the shortage that we currently are having is just the beginning.

As I continued to research I realized that I had once again been sucked into the internet, I spent an entire afternoon online. But this wasn't the worst part, Jaidyn came over to me and said "mom you never play with me anymore, you're always on the computer". This totally pulled at my hearstrings and I felt horrible. Here I am spending my time online and worrying about food shortages, predictions etc.., when I should be enjoying my time with my daughter. Thank you Jbird for reminding mom of what's most important in her life! YOU
I Love you more than anything in this world!

Love, Mom
