The Post I Can't Write

I tend to not blog about political issues or things going on in the world. But the time might be coming for me to start venting.

WHY WHY WHY is the government going to BUY GM? No I don't want GM to fail or file bankruptcy. But the government needs to get the hell out of business. IT IS NOT THEIR PLACE.

Do you realize what this will do to us as a country?

That will be the end of this rant for now.

Weekends Should Be At Least 3 Days

I really think all weekends should be 3 days. I think it's the only way to get everything you can't get done during the week AND actually get to relax. Two days just isn't enough.
Our weekend was filled with fun. We went to see the new X-Men Origins movie. It was really good. Ate a fantastic and filling with way too much food meal at Oregano's. And swam. Let me just say this: cannonballs into a pool hurt a lot more as an adult then they did as a kid.

I wish I had some witty and cute thoughts to leave you with. But I don't. It's Monday. Blah.

But hey guess what this up coming weekend is 3 days!! Thank you Memorial Day.

Friday Fill In

I haven't posted since Monday. I'm a horrible slacker with PMS.

1. If we had no winter we would have no cold weather or snow and that would just suck!

2. Fields of blooming tulips is a perpetual astonishment.

3. If I had my life to live over I would have more self confidence in my younger years.

4. I love you seven days of every week and inside of four and twenty hours.

5. If you've never been thrilled you should find a big giant roller coaster and ride front car.

6. To be interested in the changing seasons you have to like more than one of them OR live somewhere that doesn't have FOUR seasons.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having no plans at all , tomorrow my plans include a movie and lots of swimming and Sunday, I want to swim some more and maybe organize the garage so we can park in it since it's getting to be quite warm out!

Happy Mother's Day

Well I celebrated Mother's Day to the max. Not that I needed a reminder that I am a Mom. Those reminders are seen every day with the little people running around and giving me love, and the evidence in saggy boobs that hang to what feels like my belly button. And the battle scars (aka stretch marks) of pregnancy. Which I would do all over again in a heartbeat. In fact I thought I was going to be entering that world again when I requested Leo to buy me a pregnancy test, but alas it was negative as it should be considering I'm on the pill!

But my reminder came at 1:57 AM on Mother's Day. I was on my hands and knees cleaning up puke. Projectile puke that was all over the wall and door and floor of the hallway outside of the bathroom since Sweet Girl didn't quite make it to the toilet. I did it without complaint as it's my job and I didn't mind it at all. I did it with a breaking heart as Sweet Girl was in the shower crying after puking her guts out and screaming I want it out of my hair. Poor kid. Then I slept with her in her bed to be there for her in the event she puked again. I did say a small prayer that she please not puke ON ME. But she was fine. And I slept like crap in her bed. And it made me extremely crabby on Sunday for the better part of the morning and early afternoon. But I turned out OK after a swim in the pool.

And overall the day was good.

Welcome Weekend, My Old Friend

This has been a strange week for me, I am all out of sorts. I've been confused every day on exactly which day it is. But I do know today is FRIDAY! YAY!!

So let's do some fill ins!


1. Apples are to oranges as vodka is to tequila.

2. I think all political parties need a kick in the ass and that's all I have to say about that.

3. I think I hear the sound of the ocean so we must be close!

4. Honor and Protect our American flag.

5. Do what you want to do, but if you fail get up and try again.

6. Here comes Little Man and behind him was a Radio Flyer wagon; in the wagon was a bucket filled with rocks of course.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going out with my mom, tomorrow my plans include a birthday party, hopefully some shopping for shorts and the Sundown Cookout at Rawhide again and Sunday, I want to enjoy Mother's Day!

Glasses

Well Sweet Girl had her first eye appointment today. She was dilated and will soon be the owner of a fine pair of JUICY Couture glasses.

I wear glasses/contacts myself. Leo wears them too so it really shouldn't shock me that she will too. But it does bum me out. I guess I feel like it's my fault, I passed on some crappy gene to her and it's resulted in the fact that she's not even five and has to wear glasses.

But as wrong as it felt buying my four year old JUICY glasses, I was also thankful. She won't have to wear frames that are the size of her own head. She'll wear glasses made for a small face. She won't have to suffer the way I did with the totally unstylish glasses and lenses that were as thick as a reem of paper. Yes for that I am thankful.

A Wedding, Beer and Dancing, Two Flights with Turbulence and one emtional breakdown (a small one anyway) Or easier...Our Weekend

So yes I have taken a blog break to travel back (yet again) to Tennessee this time for a wedding. At least all my travels are centered around celebrations! Leo and I were on our own this trip. The kids stayed back in AZ with my parents. It was strange traveling in the airport alone and not chasing after small people with an assload of carryons.

Leo's sister was getting married. It was a pretty wedding, her dress was gorgeous. It was a disappointment for her that it had to be moved indoors since it didn't stop raining from the time we arrived. The wedding was nice, rather tame compared to what I am used to for a wedding. The weddings I am used to (Polish Catholic ones if that give you any indication of where I'm going here...) always have someone that makes a complete fool of themselves (which could have been me and my dancing at this wedding actually), a fight be it verbal or actual full contact, lots of drinking (thus explaining the fights), dancing on tables, a fully crowded dance floor and a party that goes well into the early AM. Maybe her wedding was "normal" and all the ones I've attended were not. Who knows, but it was fun and I drank and we all danced. We even went out after wards and danced some more. Where we were all both the oldest and ONLY people on the dance floor. We probably did look like fools. But who the hell cared because I was having a damn fun time. And I cannot tell you the last time I stayed out that late.

Both of our flights were filled with turbulence. On the way there Leo asked that I please not break his wrist. And tried to calm me down by explaining there were experienced people flying the planes. On the way back to Phoenix I cried. Yes call me a sissy if you wish. I didn't scream or yell. I just cried. I was happy to see sun and the Phoenix airport.

And so there you have it. Hopefully I'll be back in the swing of posting. I've missed it.
