"Mexican government is not on the verge of collapse, the top US intelligence official said Thursday, seeking to tamp down increasing alarm over the ..."Yesterday when I signed the documents permitting my ex-husband to take the kids out of the country for spring break, the notary witness offered, "Mexico is very scary right now."

"Oh, really?!?! I hadn't heard!!," I wanted to say. A fresh pang. The Midwestern need to reassure, "Yes, I'm the Mother who thinks it's a bad idea," I answered with a pathetically hopeful smile. Lord please tell me I'm not signing away my childrens' lives.
I don't want the Mexican government to collapse. Ever. But if it does, I pray that holds off until, say, mid-April. That would work much better for my children and me.
"Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." Matthew 6:34, I tell myself. I also tell myself: Breathe.
I also pray for you: for your relatives in Fargo, your homes, your jobs. You and your kids. Your lives in general.
Bless you beautiful ladies and one beautiful gentleman. Thanks for reading. I pray that you have a peace-of-the-Lord filled Saturday.

You are famous! There's a chance that up to six -- not to make you self-conscious, but maybe even up to -- seven -- people read this blog semi-regularly. Or have at least glanced at it once for 30 seconds. But even better you are loved. Your husband and your boys are heroes to my children. I told my kids they were helping out in Fargo and they thought that was very adventurous and cool.
