We were watching Backyardigans last night while eating dinner. (Yes, we're lazy and have dinner in front of the TV on occasion.) As usual, I'm never allowed to eat my own meal - Cordy will gobble every last bite of her food, then rush over to demand half of whatever I'm eating. There's something about mommy's food that makes it sooooo delicious.On this occasion, it was my Lean Cuisine Margherita pizza, and I really didn't feel like sharing. I only get 300 or so calories from this meal, and I'd like to enjoy every last one, thank you very much.Cordy started with her normal begging for food. "Pizza for Cordy?" she asked. "No, you had your dinner. This is mommy's dinner," I countered with my standard response.This exchange continued for a few minutes, and then she was quiet.

Patriotic song of gratitude and recognition to be distributed to our troops in the field through AdoptaPlatoon organization. Songwriter now to raise funds for wounded vets. Ocala FL – Songwriter Bonnie W. Daniels announces a donation of 20,000 patriotic CDs to American soldiers deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world. The CDs contain a special song of gratitude and recognition, titled "American Hero", and will be distributed in cooperation with AdoptaPlatoon organization. This tribute, written in 2003 by Bonnie, was recently recorded by studio musicians in Nashville, Tennessee, and is prefaced by a brief introduction to the song and a “thank you” to our soldiers. Early reaction to this "soldiers only" version of "American Hero" has been overwhelming. Most responses to hearing the intro and song are a combination of teary eyes, choked-up voices, and comments like "all of our troops need to hear this - now!"Among their many morale-boosting programs on behalf of soldier
