DIsgusted

I'm disgusted with some American's right now. Have we all heard about the fact that some people are "enraged" over Obama's upcoming speech in schools.

Things that have been said about it:

From this article on cnn.com http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/04/obama.schools/

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a possible contender for the GOP's 2012 presidential nomination, said Friday the classroom is no place to show a video address from Obama. (YOU just lost MY vote)


"At a minimum it's disruptive. Number two, it's uninvited. And number three, if people would like to hear his message they can, on a voluntary basis, go to YouTube or some other source and get it. I don't think he needs to force it upon the nation's school children," he told reporters at the Minnesota State fair.

Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer released a statement this week accusing Obama of using taxpayer money to "indoctrinate" children.

"As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama's socialist ideology," Greer said. ::insert eyeroll::

"The idea that school children across our nation will be forced to watch the president justify his plans ... is not only infuriating, but goes against beliefs of the majority of Americans, while bypassing American parents through an invasive abuse of power." (FORCED TO WATCH OUR PRESIDENT?)

You make me sick. He is our president. He is not trying to "brainwash" our children. Don't speak for me you ignorant POS. I AM the majority of Americans & I VOTE YES to this speech being viewed in schools by students!

Here's an idea. MOVE. Leave America if you cannot support your president. You don't deserve to live here. Illegal aliens deserve it more than you do.

Where'd my baby go?

I know as mothers we all go through it. The moments when we say "where is my baby"?

Yesterday they where this little ball of chub who couldn't move unless we moved them. We got excited when they smiled or waved their hands around. Than comes the day when they get into the basket below their changing table & take out the tube of Butt Paste & you hear yourself saying "give that to mommy". This is than heard 100 times a day. I give her 3 chances with "please" than I start demanding. Some might think I'm generous.

Don't get me wrong. I am enjoying every new part of her growing. It's fun, exciting & oh so entertaining to watch. I just miss my little baby that only weighed 14lbs. The baby who didn't cut off my breathing when she slept on my chest. The baby who's fingers wrapped around my 1 was her biggest accomplishment for the day.

Now those fingers clap & point & pick. They rip & tear & softly rub my arm when she's tired. They cover her open mouth as she says muuuaaaaaa & throws a kiss. Those fingers that wave goodbye or hello. My babies hands are getting so big.

I'm not good at updating this thing. I should though since I enjoy it. Since my last post Sophie has definitly changed so much. She seems to change everyday & it is so exciting. Who would of thought that I would be laughing & smiling before 6am in the moring? Not I. Thats for sure. It seems no matter what is going on in our lives good or bad she always makes it great.

For example I recently found out that I am Type 2 diabetic. I was put on Metformin & I'm back to testing my BG again. I also need to start recording my readings & what I eat. I'm taking things slow. I'm not going to freak out like I did when I was pregnant. I can't afford to. I need to take baby steps because I will now have to deal with this disease for the rest of my life. I had my wooooh wooooh moment this weekend & took some time for myself to take it all in. Now I'm charging forward. I've set up my appointments with doctors to get my team in order. Thats what you do when you are diabetic. You get a team together to concor your disease. I know it'll be a strugle but I like a challenge so I know I can do this.

Gary of course is awesome. He let me rest on Sunday while he took the bean grocery shopping. I could not ask for a better husband. He is the best.

Even with all that I still am able to find absolute joy in my dear little Bean. She smiles & I smile. She laughs & I laugh. Of all the things this life has given me she is the best of all.

What the Bean is doing now at 14 months:

She says Mommy & Daddy.

She is walking & running.

She brushes her hair.

She gives me her feet to put her shoes & socks on.

She brushes her 2 & 1/4 teeth.

She listents to direction.

She shakes her head yes & no all at the same time. She hasn't got that down yet but she's learning.

She LOVES music & dancing.
