Today we are spending at home. I have a long “to do” list and while I’ve knocked most of it out, neither am I killing myself over it either. I have enough work going on tomorrow. I’m still beat from yesterday. And the trouble with being an active volunteer and being a SAHM is that [...]

For the armchair activists… a Move On petition for clean energy! Al Gore took a big risk when he called on us to get 100% of our electricity from cheap, clean sources within 10 years. It’s an achievable goal, but it’s already under attack from the oil and coal companies. They’re calling his plan unrealistic, [...]
