A little break

Ok so Hiram and Sammy are now in Chicago for 5 days :( I miss them like crazy! But these 5 days are going to be good for everyone I think!! I get to spend some really good one on one time with Elli and he gets to with Sammy, and the girls get to have a little break from each other too... I am going to take Elli and Lexie to the park a couple times... I am going to take Elli to dinner and shopping plus she gets to sleep with mommy and Lexie and she absolutely loves the idea of that!!! Plus Sammy is going to get spoiled rotten by all our family there in Chicago... Yet I still keep finding myself wishing the time away so that I can see my precious baby girl and my wonderful husband again! I miss them so much and I am sure they miss us too!! Until Monday, I am off to spend good quality time with Elli and Lexie!!

Irritates me to no end!!

Ok a disclaimer first.... If you don't like my political views and will get pissy over this post, you may want to leave now and not look any further... I didn't want to make this blog too political but this is going to be my first political post because the hypocracy and double standards pisses me off to no end!

I am sick and tired of people talking about how "awesome" Obama is... Ok you like him so f***ing what! Nobody cared when I liked Bush, in fact I got burned for it more times then one... Yes I know he wasn't one of the best presidents but he DID have out best interests at heart... At least in my opinion... Obama, not so much... Anyway on to what this is about... Again I say (And I have steam coming out my ears right now!!) the hypocrisy and double standard is ridiculous and absolute bullshit (sorry for the language!) Here is an article I just recieved about an outrage over Obama's face being photoshopped in the Joker... Read on and you will find out why I am so angry over this....


Spoof poster of Obama's face painted as The Joker branded 'dangerous and mean-spirited'
By Mail Foreign ServiceLast updated at 2:25 PM on 04th August 2009

A poster depicting Barack Obama as Batman villain The Joker has been called 'mean-spirited and dangerous' by the U.S. President's supporters.

The image, which has been adopted by Mr Obama's critics, shows him wearing the white face paint and smudged red lips of the character most recently played by the late actor Heath Ledger. Beneath the picture reads the word 'socialism'.

Controversy: The poster, which depicts President Barack Obama as Batman villain The Joker has divided U.S. opinion

The creator of the image remains unknown, but the website that first published the image crashed yesterday because so many had been attempting to view it. It has since been spotted in Los Angeles and Atlanta after it appeared in U.S. media.

The right-wing editor of the American Thinker website, Thomas Lifson, wrote today: 'It is starting.
Inspiration: The poster mimics the make-up worn by late actor Heath Ledger in the latest Batman film

'Open mockery of of Barack Obama, as disillusionment sets in with the man, his policies, and the phony image of a race-healing, brilliant, scholarly middle-of-the-roader.'
But the President's supporters have condemned the image, calling it 'mean-spirited and dangerous.'

A spokesman from the Los Angeles urban policy unit said that depicting the president as demonic and a socialist 'goes beyond political spoofery.'

The image comes as the President faces criticism over his plans to create a $1trillion healthcare programme.

Republican chairman Michael Steele first used the word 'socialism' in relation to Mr Obama two weeks ago as he slammed the President's attempts to push Congress into passing the healthcare reforms.

Vanity Fair Portrayed Bush As ‘Joker’

Drew Friedman, the author of The Fun Never Stops, Old Jewish Comedians, and More Old Jewish Comedians, sent us the following visual comment. It is entitled "No Joke."
What a difference a year makes, huh?



How quickly they forget

Obama-bots are in a tizzy over a silly poster of Dear Leader as The Joker.

The BDS-infected Left may have wiped the violent imagery and assassination fascination targeting the president from their memories.

I haven’t:

As Hillary Clinton famously yelled, “I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, ‘WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DEBATE AND DISAGREE WITH ANY ADMINISTRATION!’”

Free speech. It might be the very best thing about America, even when it irks.


Ok so here are links to both the Obama Joker and the Bush Joker.... Now why is it ok to do it to Bush and not Obama???!!!

Night training

Ok so now that Elli is officially potty trained (it has been 21 days today without an accident and we don't have to put her on the potty she just goes without asking) during the day.... It is time to work on night training, I think.... lol... So we did the same that we did with the training... Just going to take the diapers away and just put her in panties... I know it's a risk since the night she has less control of her bowels... But she gets drier and drier each morning... So last night was our first experimentation... I put two pairs of thick training underwear on plus a pair of plastic undies.... She did not stay dry :( But I figured as much... But it wasn't enough to go through the plastic pants to the sheet... So yay the sheet was spared lol... Although I know now for the next however long we will be doing at least one load of laundry a day LOL.... So now just wish us luck!!!

Today was a fun family day!

Potty training!

So I just wanted to update everyone on the whole potty training experience we have had with Elli.... We decided one day we were just going to do it and no more diapers (except of course bed time lol) so we just put her in big girl panties and went from there! That was about 4 weeks ago... So the first 2 weeks were horrible and so rough!! She never once went in the potty... But she did "poo poo" on the back porch once which was pretty funny... Not at the time but now it is!! :D... So we finally had a breakthrough last week... She just went on the potty for the first time and it was super exciting!! Then she went a day or two without going again... But then starting oh I would say about Thursday last week... She now goes at least twice in the potty, and has very rare accidents... She even came running into the house yesterday with underwear in hand yelling "I have to go in the big girl potty!!" So I put her on and she went right away!! I am super proud of my baby girl, she is finally getting the idea and hang of pottying on the big girl potty and I honestly feel we are in the home stretch now!!!

Lexie is three months old today!

Summer '09

This summer has been super fun and I had the awesome opportunity to stay home with my girls for the first half of it! Elli and Sammy have had a blast playing outside in their sand box and in the pool! They have both gotten super tan! I can't wait until next year when Lexie will be out there running around with them!! I don't think I have ever cleaned so much sand off someone ever lol!! I love watching them play and smile and getting along together... It is the best feeling a mom can have.... This summer has probably been the best I have ever had... We have definitely had the best time as a family and this summer we have grown together and closer than ever!
