    My well-being of my daughter is my first and foremost concern. My husband and I want to continue to do all of the things that enrich her life. All of the other choices listed only impact that.

    While "world events" interest me and I care about them, I have to say what fills my mind moment to moment is the needs of my two little boys and the busy running of a household and my small sewing business! There...now you know what I'm all about!

    I always have so many things on my mind at any given time so it changes from day to day.

    right now my health insurance & medical bils are taking over 60% of my gross income. A change that would lower the insurance cost so I could regularly afford groceries would be nice.

    I'm just hoping after 9 long months my Husband will be able to fly, He was laid off 9 months ago. Being a Pilot is tough. Keep your fingers crossed.

    All of these topics are on my mind, but how can we not think about our finances on a daily basis. Having a family is very hard, and with our President threatening to raise taxes, I get even more scared that bills won't get paid. I am hoping the country will turn around soon and we can begin to see a light at the end of this dark tunnel.

    My 9 year old grandson has multiple allergies. Every time he gets congested we worry, wondering if it's allergies or flu. Can't wait for the vaccines.

    Well, with me living in mid west we are facing economic hardships. Several plants and companies have closed down production in our area over the last 5 years and now people who live in smaller towns that me, are in such desperation that their unemployment is gone, they are about to lose their homes and now they must travel almost two hours or so away from home to find a job that plays less than they one you had at DHL or Ford.

    I am worried about paying my fuel bill this winter. All electric house is expensive and when I close off rooms, I get mold damage.

    I think a good amount about all of these topics these days. I dont worry too much on the healthcare and the president, we have insurance and we are thankful for that. i think a lot more about or financial situation and how we can maintain that while our kids grow and the economy shrinks. I think a bit of the Swine flu and just recommending good hygene for the kids and small things like not sharing and carrying my own pen.
