I got burned out with all the nastiness that is going on in this world and started to feel like I was preaching to the choir. I have spent the last two years focusing on homeschooling, homesteading and building my farm. I've just launched a blog for the farm- http://hammockhavenfarm.blogspot.com/.

The Georgia Association of Educators endorsed Roy Barnes for governor. Not just that--every single candidate they endorsed is a democrat! Governor – Roy Barnes Interesting since the teachers were so angry with Barnes' plans to revamp the school system in his first term as governor that they are partially blamed for Barnes' loss to Sonny Purdue (R) in 2002. http://kristinmishmash.blogspot.com/2010/08/georgia-association-of-educators.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kristin)6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739221563291935068.post-6258176070891301766Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:01:00 +00002010-08-20T10:01:44.449-04:00....but I'd still like to see a birth certificate. http://kristinmishmash.blogspot.com/2010/08/call-me-birther.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kristin)11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739221563291935068.post-3079977971217040620Fri, 13 Aug 2010 14:43:00 +00002010-08-13T10:45:24.716-04:00A little update on the GA gubernatorial race. Back in July, Sarah Palin endorsed Karen Handel in the primary. Her endorsement, which I still believe was largely based on Handel's gender, knocked front-runner Oxendine out of the race and resulted in a runoff between Karen Handel and Nathan Deal.The run-off was very close and Handel ended up conceding to Deal.
