Flagler Tavern

Have you eaten at the Flagler Tavern? My brother and I went there Saturday night for an adult beverage and a snack. We had some appetizers and they were great. Prices are pretty much the same as anywhere else on the beach and the staff was super friendly. My son loves wings so I took him there today after school, he is only 10 so sitting in the bar was not an option so we sat in the dining room. The bartender was great about coming in there and waiting on us, even though we were the only ones in there and it had to be a pain in the butt for him. The food was great and the service was excellent!

FCAT & Daylight Savings TIme

I am pretty sure the people running the schools in this state do not have children. This week is Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test(FCAT). The big state test that all the teachers must teach to in order to keep their school at a high grade. The brilliant No Child Left Behind Program, yes that was sarcasm.

Daylight Savings Time started this weekend, so the kids who have to take the FCAT, lost an hour of sleep, have to wait for the bus in the dark and the best part is the buses in Volusia are coming 15 minutes earlier starting tomorrow, in order to be sure no one is late. (ARE YOU KIDDING ME?)

If you have kids you know how hard it is to get them to bed, try doing it the first few days of Daylight Savings Time. I am curious as to why the brilliant powers that be in this state did not have the FCAT the week before spring break, or last week, or any other week but this one? That would make sense.

This site is great! My daughter who I fight with and trick into eating fruits and vegetables loves it...her diet has been a constant struggle since she was about 5. Stomach issues, constipation, she won't eat vegetable and only eats a few fruits. She loves this site and is now tracking her intake...check it out.

Mom, who are you going to vote for?

I watch MSNBC, you could say it is my background noise most of the day. Every time one of my kids are around and it is on, one of them says, "Mom, who are you gonna vote for?" I tell them quite truthfully, "I have NO CLUE."

They are like little sponges, learning the process, we covered primaries and elegates this week, and who is left in the race, and why they are left and what happens now that John McCain has the nomination. They ask me 20 questions each every day. I am glad they are interested and I am glad that they care about the future of our country.....now who am I "gonna vote for?"
