I won't jump out of my crib
Until Daddy comes back home!"

some things that are annoying me right now

LYING. If you are going to take money out of your budget to buy ad space, can you please make it truthful? While I do not understand how anyone can be undecided at this point, there are 7% of them left. Stop the lying. Just be a good person.

Oh, and if I see one more "Democrat for McCain" sticker, I may scream. You can't be a democrat and vote for McCain. If you do, you aren't a democrat, but merely a Republican who might have voted democrat before. If you believe in a woman's right to choose, and you are voting for McCain, you are not a democrat.

Yeah, and if one more person says that Obama is a socialist who pals around with terrorists and wants to raise your taxes, I might scream. Just go to his damn website and read his plans. They are very clear. Be educated if you are going to take a stand.

Oh, one more thing that is annoying me. The hatred. I have never seen so much hate towards anyone in my lifetime as I have seen from many republicans. People are screaming "Kill him!" and "Terrorist!" and "Off with his head!" at McCain/Palin rallies???? WHY IS THIS OK?????? WHY????? Hatred like this is NEVER OK. And besides, Obama is a really likeable guy. There is nothing to hate. I feel sad for people who hate. What's the point? Why waste your energy?

Are you in the 7%? One site that gives a good idea of who you might lean toward is http://www.selectsmart.com/ Click the presidential election quiz.

And if your choice doesn't win, suck it up, come together as a country, and support your President.

**Edited to Add: My Dad just called me and they went to a local Obama rally and their back car window was busted out and "McCain" written on the car. CLASSY.**

fun in Colorado

Went out to Colorado this weekend for a visit with Shannon, Dawn, JK, and Angie. We had a great time, attended a great benefit for Tuesday that raised over $15,000.00! Shopped, talked, reminisced, and met some lovely people. It was great to see the girls (and meet Shannon and Angie!) and I can't wait until I see them again.

Thank you, Angie, for being a great hostess!

Wordless Wednesday: Look Out Below!

pumpkin fun

We spent the morning Saturday at a local pumpkin patch. We went last year and had a blast, but this year was even better. The boys LOVED the slides and the pumpkins. After the initial "nooooo!" screamed out when T and I dragged them down their first slide, they happily ran back up the hill to go again....and again.....and again.....
They had a big wooden train that the boys loved, too. Choo Choo!

Along with the price of admission, they let you pick out a pumpkin on the way out, and the boys love theirs!!! "Upka!"

Unfortunately, I came home today to let the dogs out, then left for 10 minutes to pick up the boys, and in that time, some big douche stole one of our upka's. I yelled out in the middle of the street "Oh, nice! Steal a pumpkin from a baby, you jerk!" I'm so pissed. Makes me want to give out carrot sticks on Halloween to our lame neighbors. The boys and I even took a walk to see if we could find our pumpkin, and no luck. SO LAME.

2 months from now.....

They'll be 2.

Sheesh!

happy birthday to blog

I started this blog 2 years ago today on my first day of bedrest. Who would have thought that we'd be where we are now. Two beautiful, healthy, hilarious boys. Two gay dogs. One crazy Mom. And one hard-working Dad.

Pretty soon the boys will turn 2. Then it will feel even more like time is flying too fast.
