Nov. 8, 2008 Duh News: FOOTBALL!
Hey everyone!!
I hope you all or most of you got the idea now that I'm changing my name...to Sheilla Kiwi.
So yep!
Well today we had our last day of football and I'm not sure whos team won but I had the best time AND I got the official first place on being muddy. I'll have to show you some pictures of me sometime but not right now. I have mud ALL over my face and mud all over my pants and shirt and WOW!!
Yah. So everyone said I was REALLY MUDDY! Plus I froze because I only had a t-shirt in rain and wind and it was cold!! AHH!! BRRRR....!!
I did a lot of blocks and I almost made a touch down...but didn't. =*( But I had an awesome time I'm just sad it was the last game untill next year.
Well just thought I would post an entry about that. ALSO I was going to post an entry that SmileyGirl95 (I think it's 95..idk) wrote and I really like it. It's about the election.
So here it is!

~My heart is Crying~
Last evening the United States elected Barack Obama to be the 44th president of the United States Of America. This was the WORST decision America has ever made. Welcome to the country of higher taxes, socialist government, Abortion on demand, and many more things that us fellow Americans will have to suffer for the choices that our neighbors made.
Now, we can not change what has already been done, but we can pray. We need to pray for our troops, we need to pray for the many lives of babies that will be murdered in the next 4 years, and that God will protect us from the countries that are planning to go up against us in the weakest time of American History.
Oh and one more thing. To the fellow Americans that voted for Obama because he wants to bring the troops home. Well you were fooled. He doesn't want to bring them home he is going to cut off funding for the troops. He will not be sending any money over there he will not be sending any weapons over there and he will not be bringing them home. Our troops will be left to die over there. Barack Obama's Vice President Joe Biden even said that was dangerous and many lives will be lost. But as always will Barack Obama listen to him.......... NO.
My heart is crying right now. My heart is crying for our troops our country and our lives. God help us!!!!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA
~Makayla~
I just thought it was really touching and awesome!
Well I g2g so I'll ttyl8er

Nov. 6, 2008 News from Rohan: A sad ending...POLITICS!
Hey people!
For starters...just so you all know I'm going to be changing my blog and I am NO LONGER going to be Eowyn...I'm going to be SheilaKiwi!! If you want to know what those are...then ask scaryman what Kiwi meens (he might know) and spitfires what Sheila meens..I might have spelled that wrong..but oh well!!
Anyway...
POLITICS!!
For those of you who live in Washington you maybe know about the law that has passed called I 100.
This law is also known as ASSITED SUICIDE!!!!! AHH!!! It will be that doctors can give this drug stuff and it will help kill and old person who is already going to die soon.
But when the person dies...family members may NOT know how their loved one died because on that persons records it doesn't say Assited suicide it says whatever was killing them in the first place.
So PLEASE PRAY FOR WASHINGTON and that SOMEHOW this does NOT become a law!
MORE!!! Our new president in OBMAMA!!
Pray that he changes his mind about abortion and other things...like maybe the war.
Anyway...just thought I would say hi and tell you about my blog change.
I'll talk to you later!

So I think it was a good game! Sadly...I wasn't on a team with any of my friends or anyone I wanted to be with but maybe thats God just saying..."NO! Go over there....thats where I want ya." Plus I can't argue with where the coach puts me unless I have a really good reason.
Anyway so my game ended and then my older brothers game ended and we all left...DUH!

Sep. 16, 2008 News from Rohan: Just a little upate! =D
Hey!
Well you all can still post comments and check out the Entry below...but I thought I would post a new one since I have some things I wanted to tell ya about!
Well for starters *drum roll* I lost a tooth!!!! lol jk well I actually did but thats not what I was going to say.... ..... I went to the Library with my brothers and dad and got like 5 new books to read!
One is a book called Dragon Drums which is part of a trylogy that I recomend you check out.
They are CLEAN and REALLY INTERESTING!!...atleast in my opinion. =D
I got some other books that where just random like a new Nancy Drew book (new for me), a book called "The First Hourse I See" (or something like that), and some other books.
I started school yesterday which kinda stinks but right now we are tacking it easy partly cause we don't have the books to "take is hard". I am only working in two books which I like the call the malicious M's.
MATH and MAPS
They are the two subjects that I have hard time with....
Anyway....today I was helping my grandma and her sis pick some berrys on our property and they found a bee nest of some kind. I took some pictures of it and thought I would post them so ya all could see how BIG it was!!
So here it is:

I have never seen one so big! I don't think it is active but it may be....I guess we'll just have to watch it.
Plus the winter is coming and that will put all the Bees to sleep. Maybe we can kill the B's and get it!!
Well yep! That is my short update. Also check out my story that I am writing on my other blog: homeschoolblogger.com/IluvLOTR
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Farewell!

Sep. 12, 2008 News from Rohan: A little thing about Women voting. and my 100th entry!
Hey!
Well yesterday my mom had my brothers and I come and check something out.
She had gotten an e-mail about Women voting! I asked her to send it to me so that I could post it here.
So here it is! ( There WAS pictures but I could not get them on here. sry...)
This is the story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers; they lived only 90 years ago.
Remember, it was not until 1920
that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote.
The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed
nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking
for the vote.
(Lucy Burns)
And by the end of the night, they were barely alive.
Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden's blessing
went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of
'obstructing sidewalk traffic.'
They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above
her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping
for air.
(Dora Lewis)
They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her
head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cell mate,
Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack.
Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging,
beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women.
Thus unfolded the'Night of Terror' on Nov. 15, 1917,
when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his
guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there because
they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson's White House for the right
to vote.
For weeks, the women's only water came from an open pail. Their
food--all of it colorless slop--was infested with worms.
(Alice Paul)
When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like this for weeks
until word was smuggled out to the press.

So, refresh my memory. Some women won't vote this year because-
-why, exactly? We have carpool duties? We have to get to work?
Our vote doesn't matter? It's raining?
Last week, I went to a sparsely attended screening of HBO's new
movie 'Iron Jawed Angels.' It is a graphic depiction of the battle
these women waged so that I could pull the curtain at the polling
booth and have my say. I am ashamed to say I needed the reminder.
All these years later, voter registration is still my passion. But the
actual act of voting had become less personal for me, more rote.
Frankly, voting often felt more like an obligation than a privilege.
Sometimes it was inconvenient.
My friend Wendy, who is my age and studied women's history,
saw the HBO movie, too. When she stopped by my desk to talk
about it, she looked angry. She was--with herself. 'One thought
kept coming back to me as I watched that movie,' she said.
'What would those women think of the way I use, or don't use,
my right to vote? All of us take it for granted now, not just
younger women, but those of us who did seek to learn.' The
right to vote, she said, had become valuable to her 'all over again.'
HBO released the movie on video and DVD . I wish all history,
social studies and government teachers would include the movie in
their curriculum I want it shown on Bunco night, too, and anywhere
else women gather. I realize this isn't our usual idea of socializing,
but we are not voting in the numbers that we should be, and I think
a little shock therapy is in order.
It is jarring to watch Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to watch the doctor refuse. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn't make her crazy.
The doctor admonished the men: 'Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.'
Please, if you are so inclined, pass this on to all the women you know.
We need to get out and vote and use this right that was fought so
hard for by these very courageous women. Whether you vote democratic, republican or independent party - remember to vote.
History is being made.
Here is proof that this is NOT a fake e-mail forward thing.

~a song from Redwall~
"Blow cobwebs out of corners,the corners, the corners,Throw open all your windows to welcome in the spring. Now icicles are shorter, and turning water, out yonder o'er the meadow, I hear a skylark sing. All through the earth a showing, a showing, a showing, the green grass is growing,so fresh is everything. Arounf the flow'rs and heather, the bees do hum together,their honey will be sweeter when 'tis made in spring."~song by Whinn the hedgehog
