So tired of winter

Not only am I tired of the constant snow and ice, I'm tired of my poor child getting sick, me worried about her being sick, etc.

I want the warmer weather now, I want to see the flowers popping up through the ground. I want to run around in the back yard with my daughter, without taking 20 minutes to get her dressed (freaking snow pants!).

I'm weary, my winter coat seems to get heavier everyday. My boots drag my feet down. How I want to wear my flip flops.

I can't wait for Spring, to get out and breathe the fresh air without having my lungs fill with icicles!

"The State of the Union"

Over the past couple of days the country has gone crazy. A man shoots and stabs his wife in front of her students. A man walks into a city Council meeting an kills 5 people. A man walks into a Lane Bryant and shoots and kills people. A student in Louisiana Kills 2 students and herself. A man in LA kills his family and a SWAT officer.

Wake up, the violence in this country is getting more and more common and brutal. WE need to take a stand and make sure we are safe to walk the streets. If you suspect that you see a "warning sign" please stand up and report it. We don't need any more senseless killings in our neighborhoods.

Just shut up about my kid-

Yes ok my kid is: short, tall, tiny, big, not talking, talking too much, happy, sad, tired, energetic, shy, eats too much, eats too little, cries, throws a tantrum, shouldn't be in a stroller, shouldn't be on a leash, shouldn't be running through the store, etc. I get it, now keep you freaking comments to yourself and let us mom's raise our kids the best way we know how. Go bother someone else.

So who do I choose?

They say vote the best candidate for the job. In the "real world" that would be all fine and good, but we live in a society where appearance matters.
SO as a white democratic female, if I don't vote for the black candidate am I a racist? Or is it if I don't vote for the woman am I turning my back on my gender?

God Bless Jon Stewart!

I have to be honest, he's the only "news media" person that really tells it like it is. I am so sick of "credible journalist" slinging mud here and there over every news story they report. They are the ones that cause all the problems when it comes to "reporting" news stories.
Jon calls all of them to the carpet, and shows how stupid they really are. If only there were more people like him, the world would probably be better off!

Our Political Process

It literally sucks. Ok so the candidates are picked even before the majority of the country gets to vote. How is that fair? By the time primaries come around to most states a lot of the candidates have dropped out because they lost in a couple of the early states.
SO I'm not really getting my say, I' not really getting to vote for who I want, but who's left. SO if it's my right to vote, isn't also my right to have all candidates on the ballot when I vote?
They all talk about change, yet everything stays the same.

Most Fascinating People of 2007

SO tonight the special airs with the top 2 being revealed tonight. Possible suspects: Britney, Barry Bonds, Stephen Colbert, Ann Coulter, Hugo Chavez, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, and me ( I can dream can't I?). For reasons I think Barbara might see them as fascinating, that's my list.

The Problem with Adults

With the holiday season approaching- we are once again reminded of how stupid adults are.
Yes, mind you I am an adult, but when it comes to this subject, I am far from stupid.

Winchester, MA- A principal has canceled a field trip to see "Miracle on 34th Street" performed at a local theater. The reason, some parents complained. It's too focused on "Santa Clause", and they found it offensive.
Respectfully to those parents- go bite yourself. No wonder we have such hatred in this country. You're not teaching your kid tolerance, you're teaching ignorance. Yes, I am Catholic and celebrate Christmas. That doesn't mean for one second that I won't be teaching my daughter about the other celebrations that take place at the same time. She should know how other religions celebrate at this time. Not ignore the differences her friends may have.

These are the modern day Scrooges. These are the people that make it miserable for everyone else. What have you proved? That you can bully a class of 7th graders? Must make you feel big, stand tall and be proud. These are the parents that no longer hear the jingle of the bell from the Polar Express. These are the parents that don't believe in magic or miracles. These are the parents that want their kids to be little adults rather than kids.

In a day and age where love and tolerance should be at an abundance, it is hanging on by a thread. Why are you so angry at Christmas? Did you not get that puppy at age 9 that you wanted? That's no reason to take it out on the younger generation.

Attention the the school that my child will be attending in the future: If any of this goes on while she's in school, expect a call from my civil rights lawyer. Why should we be discriminated against because of the few unhappy souls out there?

Lighten up, let the kids be kids, they have long enough in their life to be miserable adults.

One down one to go....
Ok good old #38 is back for next season, now we just need Mike Lowell.

The blonde thing...

This not a racist post- it is not meant to be offensive, and if you take it that way, I'm just stating an opinion I'm entitled to.

For all you ladies (and men) who are obviously not blonde, please stop dying it that color. It's hard to take someone seriously when then talk of being proud of their race, and then they walk in with a screaming blonde head of hair. Really, do you think the world can't tell you weren't born with that color? Why can't you be proud of the fact that you have black hair or brown hair?
I just think it's ridiculous that you think you need to be something you aren't. Don't give me that free to express myself junk either. Coloring your hair in a color that would never represent your race is not expressing yourself, it's being something that you're not, it's saying, I'm not proud of who I am, I want to be someone else.
Be proud of who you are, where you come from, and the race you are, not the race you want to be.

Why do we care Part 2-

Why is the media so fixated on Christina and J-Lo being pregnant? More so why are they so fixated that the haven't "officially" announced it? Isn't that their choice? If they don't want to announce it to the world, that's their business. Sure you can tell that they are, so shouldn't that be good enough? Why do we have to be up in their business all the time? Pregnancy and having a baby is a personal thing, even when you are a celebrity. Shouldn't we just wish them well, hope they have a happy, healthy pregnancy and be done with it rather than hound them for every detail.
Maybe we should focus more on our own lives and less on theirs.

I can't stand the rain-

Don't you just hate days when it's pouring like cats and dogs? Then on top of then it's freaking cold? Those are usually the days that you have a hundred things to do. Life sucks sometimes.

And so it begins....

Officially today is Nov. 1st. Unofficially, it's the beginning of the Christmas season (jeez). It's like the cougar pouncing on the gazelle. I guess Thanksgiving is no longer a holiday at this point.
I really wish retailers would stop shoving Christmas down our throats in October, even before Halloween is over. Sign the groundhog saw his shadow, another 6 more weeks of Christmas.
Don't get me wrong I love Christmas, I would just like to celebrate it after we have Thanksgiving rather than before.

Fans-

Upon watching the final moments of the World Series again (God Bless Tivo), there's something I noticed. The Rockies fans were strangely optimistic in the final inning. They were cheering for the weirdest things. Those freakin' towels, they'll do you in every time.
Oh and next time, find your own chant and don't steal ours.

It's a good time to be a sports fan in Boston......
Thank you Red Sox!

I love that dirty water.......

Hey Johnny D-

How ya liking New York now?

Silent Scream

I have to get this off my chest. Britney Spears. Train wreck, pop star hasbeen. She cares about nothing but herself.
Being the mother of a 2 year old ( the same age as one of her kids), there is nothing I wouldn't do for my child. Jump through a ring of fire, you betcha. She doesn't love or want those kids, if she did she would be doing everything the judge has asked of her. Yet time and time again, she's blowing off what she should be doing to get her kids back.
The dancers for her tour- blown off 3 times because Miss Brit didn't make it to the studio to audition them.
The album, she phoned it in. The cover is a copy of the single cover for "Gimme More"- she didn't even come up with a decent cover.
The video for "Gimme More"- if you've seen it, you'll understand- she phoned that in too. Where's the big dance number? Where's the oomph? There is none, swinging around a stripped pole is not a good music video.
Dear fans, she doesn't care- maybe one day you too will wake up and realize that- you're enabling her. Sure, I feel bad when I see her swarmed by photogs, but there are other celebrities that can handle it much better than her.
Some say "I like the music, I could care less about what she does in life", but by supporting her less than stellar music career, you are supporting the choices she makes in life.
The girl needs help, but won't do anything to fix her situation. It's time to kick her in the pants and make her realize that we need to turn our backs on her until she straightens up.

Just give-

I'm getting on my bandwagon- the holiday's are approaching. Give what you can to a charity this season, just remember someone is depending on our generosity.

OMG I hate people

I seriously have absolutely no tolerance for people that think they are the only person on the planet.

Let me give a few examples:
People in the crosswalk, I totally understand that I am to let you cross the street. You have the right of way. BUT- if you are crossing the street at a pace slower than a snail stuck in molasses, I have the right to bump you (just a little) with my car. If you step out in front of my car with absolutely no clue that there is a car coming (you're on the cell phone, you're talking you you're best friend as the two of you cross, or you just feel that the world should stop for you no matter what) I take issue with that. Respect works both ways, I should be able to run you over (kidding).

People in other cars- here's my favorite, you pull out in front of me and then wave to me like I let you out- I have another gesture for you.
Then there are the drivers that are behind you, pass you get in front of you just to get off the very next exit. What does that prove? you can get there 30 seconds faster? Big Deal.

Maybe if you had more respect for your fellow man, I wouldn't have to put up with such idiots.
