Hey BRAVO…I need more of this baby in my life. Just because Bethenny made a bajillion dollars off of her Skinny Girl deal doesn’t mean that she doesn’t need a reality TV show!

Obama's Three Big Mistakes

I’m not one to stir up political drama, but when CNN writes a negative article about liberal government, I’ll read it. And since we’ve moved to the hub of the government, I’ve actually been paying a lot more attention caring. Take it or leave it, but this article summarizes some good points. 

Political spiel over and out. Don’t count on another one any time soon.

This is a cool airport, you know why? Because it’s pitch black. It’s like a Batman airport. We’re in the bat cave right now!

My Real Job?

There are about 8000 great things about my job. I love it, and I feel super lucky to have it. One of my favorite things about it is lunchtime chit chat with preschoolers. It's one of the few times that we have where we're just sitting and talking (and not pretending to be on vacation, or playing school with dolls, or fighting over the colors of game pieces), and they crack me up. Here's the gem that happened today with R- 5yo boy, and P- 3yo girl. We've had lots of conversations about this topic....they just can't wrap their head around the fact that THEY are my work...
P- Who was calling you on the phone?
ME- It was Robert.
P- It's always Robert...
ME- ...or my mom, or your mom...
R- or a friend, or your boss at work
ME- R, do you know who my boss at work is?
R- umm....yes....i'm thinking.....idon'tknow!
ME- where do I go every day? who do I play with?
R & P- us! To our house!
ME- So who's my boss?
R- ummm
ME- Your mommy and daddy!!
R & P- WHAT?! noooo......
R- Yeah, on Fridays when you're not here, THEN you go to your real office and work!
ME- Nooo....on Fridays I run errands, and babysit sometimes, and clean...and on the other days I come here and work and your mom and dad are my bosses!
R- You're SO SILLLYYYYYYYYYY!
P- Well....maybe WE'RE the bosses!
ME- No. You are never the bosses.
Love it. In other word news...P and I have been singing "Rockabye Baby" a lot this week to her little sister, and sometimes she gets her words mixed up between "Rock" and "Fall" and says "Fock". And I laugh so hard that my face turns blue, and then ask her to sing it again.

8 month review

Well, now that I’m almost 8 months into marriage and living in a new city, I thought it was about time that I assessed my life. Here are some things I’ve gotten really good at in the past 8 months:

1. Changing diapers in public restrooms.

2. Cooking things I really shouldn’t cook, like cakes and pies.

3. Defensive driving.

4. Packing lunches (for adults AND children)

5. Washing dishes. I’m pretty much a pro.

6. Waking up at a certain time every morning.

And here are some things that I’m still not very good at:

1. Not overcommitting.

2. Getting myself out the door and on a run without someone else motivating me.

3. Playing pretend. I’ve been told at least once “Yeah, you’re not very good at playing the mom.”

4. Being within 5 minutes of being on time somewhere.

5. Catching up with people on the phone.

In the next 8 months, I plan to nip all of these negatives in the bud. Right. So in an effort to apologize, here goes. Dear husband, sorry I sign up for too many things, so that I get stressed out and yell at you. And sorry I’m always late to pick you up from work. Dear self, get your butt off of the computer and out the door before it reaches 100 degrees. Dear future kids, hopefully I’ll be better at being a real mom than I am at pretending to be one. And dear friends, I love you, all of you. I am terrible at talking on the phone. This is the first thing I intend to fix, lucky you!!
