Malinda and her new favorite toy!

I am very tired this week, 2 mornings of up at 4am and this damn cough (which is either bronchial pnumonia or whooping cough) is killing me and now the girls are sick as well. bah. Getting my breaks replaced tomorrow AM and a dr's appt on Monday...Now that I'm in the home stretch its every two weeks.

What really burns me is that one of the people I work with here came out and said "Now I get to call all my Liberal friends and rub it in!" Since when did the fate of the leader of the free world get turned into a sporting event? Its shit like that "look at me I'm a poor winner, I get to call everyone and gloat!" which makes the country even more divided and politics more divisive. You don't see Bush going on TV and doing a hoochie coochie dance in the white house "end zone", pulling out a Sharpie from his $10,000 suit and signing "GW" on the decl of independance and giving it to his mamma now do you?
No, you get the "Kerry was a good opponent, blah blah blah" speech and every thing goes back to normal.
Its a small wonder that no one in politics can play nice when normal people (like the guy I work with) is happier that he gets to rub it in to his friends that his guy won, then the fact his guy won-very very sad.

Say byebye to a woman's right to choose, and hello to more and more mommies with babies on welfare, or more and more "accidental/unwanted" kids who are shoved into the system, put up for adoption or abused (thus draining funds from the government) and more women who try to do backroom abortions themselves or with some hack (thus jacking up HC costs as they get rushed to the ER with little or no insurance, or die), bye bye 4 years of possible research for Parkinsons, ALS, etc...and say a big goodbye to all that lovely tax rev. from all those married gay people who can now pay the man every april 15th to be married just like I have to, plus think of all the gay wedding businesses that wont exist, no new gay cake makers, wedding dress makers, resort locations, gay honeymoon suites, income for counties/state from gay wedding lisc. (and yes you do have to pay to get one), etc.. etc..
Plus of course the untold billions we will have to spend to "fix" the middle east. Quick one for you all, we will NEVER have peace in the middle east, why? easy-there has NEVER been peace in the middle east and there pretty much never will be. We might as well get a CCR reunion together so they can write some vietnam area protest songs for the new Iraq miasma millenium, we ain't fixing that quagmire any time soon.

Dale took them Trick or Treating but it was too late and they were cranky...they visited our neighbors and Jeff's parents. Mya fell off our porch and smacked her head on the concrete so that was the end of that....We had a few T or T 'ers I gave up at 7pm because it was too damn cold outside.....
Tonight we are hopefully getting the girls to bed with no problems and cleaning the bathrooms. If I get one more political call I will puke.
Mail me!
Took Mya to La Estacion last night for dinner, she had a chicken taco and rice and beans, most of it went in her mouth only a bit was on the floor-good for her.
Didnt do much last night, watched Inside the Actors Studio (Mike Meyers and Robin Williams) and worked on my x-stitch....no biggie. Enjoy the pictures!
Mail me!
Malinda is teething really bad and keeps chewing on her hand....she's been cranky. We tought her how to do "TOUCHDOWN" when ever the packers or badgers score...then she claps her hands, very cute.
they Spent part of yesterday with Grandma, Dale raked leaves, I shopped for food and pharmecuitcals, then we cleaned a bit....it was a nice break.
So here's my quandry for the day: If Princess Leia is a princess by virtue of being adopted by the King and Queen of Alderan and her planet (and her parents) was destroyed early in Episode IV, why isn't then she Queen Leia? (because she is not queen by virtue of her mother Padme Amadala since Naboo's queen is an elected position and her mother was a senator (presumably) when she died.) Just something that bothered me as I watched Epi IV and V this weekend.

We watched football yesterday-I'm a big ass fantasy looser because I started the wrong back up RB....booger.
Mail me!
After a long bath (she was filthy) and a pet she was VERY happy to be home with us and spent most of the night purring at our feet/heads.
Watched Eurotrip last night and enjoyed it, plan on watching F 9/11 tonight (which Dale wil not be as he is a Bushie).
Mail me!
I have some sort of cold or flu or viral thing which makes me feel like death...yesterday I went out to the store to get OJ and Pedalyte and didnt shut the door to the garage all the way...so the cat got out....I went outside looking for her (she is NOT an outside cat) and was pretty frantic..turns out she showed up in the garage 5-10 min later with HUGE eyes making sad crying noises-she was pretty freaked out, we were glad to have her home!
I went to bed early last night, Malinda woke up at 3:30, 4:45 and 6am...she wouldnt get up at 5:30 and just sort of flopped down in my lap and went back to sleep until 6am...funny.
I'm sure they will have a cruddy day at daycare, I'm just worried that I will have to leave work and bring them home. I can barely function no way can I handle 2 sick kids and a sick and pregnant me.
Tonight I plan on colapsing and dying around 7pm.
Mail me!
Last night watched Santa Claus vs. the Martians and sang "Lets all have a Patrick Swayze Christmas." JOY.
Mail me!
Last night was MW night but Dale was running the event and didnt play so I went home with the baby.
She fell asleep in the car and was down for the night leaving me to:
1: Watch Gilmore girls and finish a baby bib for the next kid, 2: Finish Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell 3: Clean the house with Dale for 30 min (garbage, Kitty litter, dishes, strapping down babyhighchairs, laundry) and 4: fall asleep around 10:30 or so.
Tonight is Movie night, we have "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," "Super Size Me," and a CLASSIC "MST 3k="Santa Claus vs. the Martians" with the BEST christmas song ever (that makes me miss Dan and Dylan) "Oh Lets all have a Patrick Swayze Christmas" and it also features the rare and much coveted, "Roadhouse" boardgame-tally-ho!

We had a nice saturday, 2 MW marquees, shopping at Target, and cleaning the crib etc...Slept late, finished my cross stitch project, started on a bib for the baby...bought 20.00 worth of floss for my next project (arg!)...
Took the girls to the park on Sunday-they had fun till about 9000 kids showed up, so then we left. They were cranky so they were fighting and biting each other so I took Malinda to marchfest up at west....that was fun.,
Mail me!
"Oh Hi Jane, you look great after your lung biopsy and its really a bummer you have cancer, are you going to come outside and smoke a cigarette with me after lunch?" "Thank you Sally, my lung biopsy and chemo is going really well, I would love to come smoke a cancer stick with you, thanks!"
And I'm gonna be expected to pay for shit like this?
(im still voting for John Kerry BTW)
Mail me!
Now she is quitting because (obviously) she needs medical treatment, but we are having a pizza lunch to celebrate (?) her leaving because I have cancer (again). What the hell? It's supposed to be a nice thing, but honestly I can't think of anything more depressing....I'm just going to grab some pizza and go on an "errand" so I dont have to stay....
Mail me!
We are baby free tomorrow so we have the Marquee in the AM, I need to get the baby stuff all Murphy's Oil Soaped and clean....and take the ceiling fan down.
Mail me!
Bought a triple stroller from a lady in my Twins Club....its really nice and it fits in the car!
I ate lunch with Muench and Damon yesterday, Muench has a pretty swell black eye (no body talks about fight club...) tonight the girls are staying with grandma :)
Mail me!
Tonight we only have Mya, I'm planning on watching "mean girls" and That 70's show while I pound away at my project bah!
Mail me!
Tomorrow is picture day at daycare, the girls have cute kilts from old navy to wear. Grandma is taking Mya in to get that done with Malinda.
I plan on watching "Igby Goes Down" tonight after I watch the season premier of Gilmore Girls (yippie hooray!) and put the kids to bed (by myself, horrors). trying to work in a lunch date with Muench this week and we have all day saturday babyfree :)

On Saturday the Twins had their twin study in madison, we went out to the Olive Garden for lunch-the night before my parents took the girls to Perkins (BAD IDEA).
Perkins kids menu sucked, their grilled cheeze was 100% grease, the beans we got for them had BACON?! on top and were greasy and the mashed potatoes were swimming in butter and gravy-yech! Dennys is much better.
Yesterday was watching football day...the girls were cranky, I've been cranky, Dale is cranky, the stupid Packers lost-bah! Good news is I am almost done with my huge cross stitch project!
Mail me!
Its been pretty nice out at nights so we've been playing with the kids outside before we put them down to bed, last night they decided to crack each other up for an hour when we put them down....Malinda was pacing back and forth in her crib and Mya was making her laugh by making funny noises. Sadly they were still sleeping when I left this AM so we didnt get to see each other.
Watched Scooby Doo 2 last night, outside of Linda Cardellini in a neoprene orange jumpsuit, the movie was a stinker...(not nearly as excellent as Kill Bill V.2, a movie I will be buying once it comes out as a 2 disc special ed.
I have no idea what movies are up next from netflix, I think maybe Jersey Girl and maybe Mean Girls?
Tomorrow we are off to Madison in the AM for the Twins testing and lunch with Robin....maybe we will run into Breezy?
Mail me!
Watched "Insomnia" last night, a totally depressing movie...the thing is I was in Alaska during the 24 hour light and it didnt bother me at all....Al Pacino was just loopy to begin with...
The girls had on their packer outfits yesterday (and Malinda bit someone again) and malinda kept pointing to her chest and her packer logo...maybe she knew they won?
Mail me!
Mya is walking now but she turns one of her feet inward and walks sideways-y-hopefully its only a phase, her dad had casts on his legs when he was born because his legs turned inward pretty bad...
We are gearing up for the big rummage sale this Friday and Saturday. We also have our twins session in Madison on Saturday, plus marching band on Saturday---a very busy weekend! I also won my Fantasy Game, the Flaming Donkey's are 1-0!
Mail me!
Sadder news is we aren't doing D&D anymore since Dustin had to drop out (new baby on the way and he doesnt see much of his other daughter as it is) we will miss him, he rocks!
Busy night tonight, I have my twins meeting, Dale is going to see his HS friend Ryan's band play in Milwaukee late tonight---Plus I'm feeling lousy, I have heartburn or acidy something....I didnt get this with the twins, I also didnt puke at all with the twins...maybe its because its a boy....Thanks to Dawn at work for letting me steal her Tums!
Mail me!
Its very nice outside today....I hope grandma brought out Malinda for some fresh air fun! Looking forward to Saturday and seeing Shannon and Gage and reaping the benefits of Gage's old clothes (thanks gage!)
Mail me!
Malinda bit another kid at daycare again...I think this is the 3rd time, she really has to stop that!
Mail me!
Tonight we have both kids so Im not sure what we will do, I'd like to scrub the kitchen floor and so some wallpaper!

We took the kids to the Betty Brinn's Children's Museum this weekend and they liked it so much we bought a 1yr. membership! It was great fun!
We also drafted our Fantasy League this weekend...my brother and Dale and I had fun doing that.
