Initially when I decided to start blogging, I wanted it to be my outlet. I wanted to bitch if I felt like bitching and pour my heart out if the mood struck. Somewhere along the way, I lost that and it became about mundane things of our day-to-day and just the kids. No more.
Now you are going to have to put up with my political bitchings and praises. Now, I know that sometimes I will say somethings that my family might not get and surely there will be things that my friends don’t get. And that is ok. You just have to deal with that. If there’s ever a password protected post, it’s that way for a reason and if I didn’t give you the password, that means I don’t want you to read it. MmmKay?
My first bitch….If you compare yourself to a pit bull, don’t get offended when you are compared to a pig! Sarah Palin is nothing but one big ridiculous joke! Abstinence only and then your 17 year old daughter ends up pregnant? Riiiight! It’s effective huh?
Anti Abortion for all cases…..That makes me sick! Though, this is the same woman who made women pay for their rape kits at the hospital so I guess I shouldn’t expect much more from her.
She wanted books she thought were objective to be removed from Wasilla libraries. She even tried to strong-arm a librarian to get it done.
She won’t do media interviews until the campaign decides she’s ready? What is she, the Pope? Seriously, is the campaign going to protect her when she’s getting attacked by foreign governments when she is supposed to be fighting for our county’s rights?
She’s a disgusting woman and a WRONG choice to be a literal heartbeat away from running our country!
I digress. I could rant ALL DAY about how wrong this woman is, but I am sick of it for now (until some new story gets to the press anyway).
I am excited for the Obama/Biden ticket and I can’t wait to see the debates. They are going to be outstanding! At least on the Democratic front. I am not sure how the man with Alzheimer’s and the woman who can’t talk to the media without permission will fair.
Kids lie and it’s inevitable that they will be caught!
Yesterday afternoon Jakob came home with his friend Dillon. Nothing unusual, they walk here together everyday. Well, Jakob shows me 2 color pencils (yellow and black FYI) and a crumpled up piece of notebook paper. He proclaims, “I have homework, we have to color a leaf”. Dillon even popped up, “Yeah, we have to outline it in black and color over it in yellow”.
Yeah right I thought! A couple of weeks ago they DID have an assignment where they had to find 2 leaves to take to school so I gave Jakob permission to go do this with Dillon. He had an hour to get his leaf found. Giving Jake the benefit of the doubt this time, I told him he could go to Dillon’s for 20 minutes. Off they went.
When they got back, I noticed Jake had come home empty handed. I asked him where his homework was. He left it at Dillon’s. I then asked him if this was an actual assignment or had they lied to me? They both swore it was homework until I threatened to call the teacher and ask. Jakob looked at Dillon and said “we are so busted”.
Busted is right my little man. I don’t put up with lying. He knows this. After almost 10 years of me drilling that in his head, I KNOW he knows this. The thing is, had he come home and cleaned his room, I would have let him go play at Dillon’s, but he wants to try to take the easy way out. It never works, but he always tries and always gets caught! He is now grounded for a week for lying.
Sunday we went bike riding! Maddux FINALLY figured out how to pedal his bike! It’s freekin AWESOME! He felt so liberated! So did I.
Spencer took his training wheels off his bike that day and is smooth sailing, kind of. He falls, but he gets right back up to try again.
Jakob was the highlight of the trip! The kid flipped over his handle bars and face planted on the concrete! And I missed it! ;-p He busted his teeth, his gums were swelling, his top teeth went into his bottom lip. Both his elbows have road rash on them and his hands are scraped too. All of that and neither of us freaked out! Hard to believe right?
Anyway….I have to get up and clean house! It sucks, but someone has to do it! I will be back later I am sure! Sarah Palin will always give me something to bitch about! ♥
