The debate over what provisions should be allowed in the universal health care policy has me on edge. Everything that I have heard so far has me a bit worried. Suddenly change seems like alot of the same, which has me questioning...can you really change???? Yes we can what? Obama I love you, but I'm a little confused....
However, the Health care policy is not my pressing issue right now.....There is something sucking the life out of my enjoyment of our Christmas tree....No, it is not the Grinch who stole Christmas.....It's Clementine who is stealing my Christmas ornaments....gently plucking them off of the tree (like selecting a chocolate morsel of delight out of a big box of Godiva) and sucking them down like underage Frat boys with fake id's attack beers and shots of jagermeister at thier first bar.......How she is able to differentiate between the glass ones from the non glass I do not know.... What I do know is that I'm running out of patience as quickly as I'm running out of balls....Christmas ones that is..........
This is Clementine's second Christmas with us. Despite the fact that she slyly eyes the sparkling ornaments with the same lustful look she gives Reeses tail, she has managed to wrap us all around her oversized paw. She is funny, loving, silly, joyous, mischievous, playful and a bit over the top. A complete character. But she is a klepto. We should have renamed her Winona....She has a bit of an issue with authority, mainly she thinks she's above the authority....And she thinks she can get away with just about anything with a tail wag and a kiss on the nose......which, by the way, works......
She fills up the house....granted she's a Great Dane so she fills up any house.....but her energy and her demeanor match any twinkling light on the tree, and glitters as sparkly as any ornament she has devoured.....and digested............and expelled....
Now if I could just get her to leave the tree alone, leave poor Reeses alone, leave poor Lexi alone (my other 2 canine baby loves) and stop jumping on top of me as soon as my husband gets out of bed.....She has fluffed me up like a pillow and I have unfortunately retained the shape!!!!
Which makes me think of just how out of shape I am...and then my mind wanders back....
So President Obama, please do what is right by us and reword " reasonable" and rethink what you are capping, and who you are allowing to control these caps......Many people have lost their homes to caps placed by the health insurance companies you are courting in order to save their lives, battle their cancers, try to recover their children......I and many parents of ASD children understand all too well that "within reasonable treatment" means a complete denial of treatment that can help their child. I shudder to think what it would do to the Alzheimers patients.... If I had $10 dollars for every time I was denied help for my child, I would have been able to pay for the treatments upfront!!!!!! And still be able to go out to lunch.........
I suppose Universal Health care is really one of my pressing issues........
How about a fair Health Care Plan, one like lets say, the Congress and Senate enjoys...We pay for their health care and they don't refer to that as Socialism......Maybe Santa can put that under our tree...health care for all.....along with a few extra Christmas Ornaments to replace the ones Clementine and Wall Street stole.......
A kiss on the nose goes a long way............
But doing what's right always brings it full circle..........................
Which makes me think of ornaments.........
If you give a pig a pancake........
If you give a pitbull lipstick......
If you give a people what should be a basic foundamental right................
