dead babies...why?

Driving to fax something with my husband and kids today, we had to drive past the Planned Parenthood in town and they were being picketed by four old men and an old woman. Al were holding pictures of what I can assume are aborted fetuses.

Ummm...why is that okay?


Can I picked them holding a sign of a child beaten to death by his parent or a child who dies from starvation becasue her parents couldn't afford to feed her? Somehow, I doubt it...

Plus, why the fuck do those old people get off thinking they can even remotely understand the complex decision that goes into having an abortion? Particularly the men...get over yourself buddy! You don't get to any say.

That's one of the things about the movie Juno that pissed me off...she didn't abort the baby becasue it has finger nails? WTF?? Um okay...
I think its a little more complicated than that...having been a teen mom myself and grappled with the same thoughts.
Yeah liked the movie but it was so obviously written by a man...

Anyway...rant over!

I'm just annoyed that we only got a $971 tax refund this year even though we only made 22K since our "investment income" was over the limit for getting EIC...so what should have been $4K wasn't even 1K...gotta love the feds...love screwing the poor folks!


Ehhh...I'll get over it...its only money and we live pretty well...

Oh and Yarrow is walking now! Not all the time but a lot more!

Off to work...that will cheer me up!

And I'm not being ironic...really I have the BEST job!

Want to feel like a really good person...watch this show!

We think we are better than you!


I just turned on the TV after putting both little ones down for a nap (this never happens, BTW) and it was on Bravo...a station I normally lurve...

"The Real Housewives of NYC" or something like that...

WOW! I mean just WOW! Did the producers set out to find the most shallow women possible for this show? I mean come on! $30K on three outfits! Am I just that out of the loop that I think that is so selfish?


Yeah, yeah I know what's it me me, they get to live their life, judge not lest I be judged, blah, blah, blah...Well sorry I can't help but get PISSED by this sort of behavior...its so thoughtless of everyone else on the planet...step outside your little bubble and take a good look around you...we are in this together and you are a big part of the problem...no matter how many times you attend $10K a plate fund raisers for Unisef...

"I love the smell of puke in the morning!"

Yarrow is sick...poor baby! She was up at 4:30 and has been throwing up all day. Luckily Ori seems fine and he actually went right back to sleep this morning and then was in waldorf for the morning so the Goo and I could just be m-e-l-l-o-w....

On a side not, I think I maybe have been over-parenting the Goo to sleep...I stated just giving her a hug after reading books with Ori and laying her down in bed (instead of rocking and singing and cooing for 40 minutes) and she goes right to sleep. Ori was so hard to get to sleep I think I was just in that zone...Huzzah for easy bed times!

So we have had the big PG scare this week!

Yep...you heard that right...the big scare this week! uhhhhh....I wish we had done the V when we had health insurance...I can't wait till the new insurance kicks in so Brice can go get snipped asap! It has certainly concreted in my mind that I am done, done, done having children I took a dollar store test and got a faint line so I really freaked but something like 10 big fat negatives later, i think that was just an evaporation line! I think I would have cried!

We all went back to school this week too! Break was so nice, no driving around, no nap stress, no sleeping stress, no mommy stress! Well, back to the driving, waking up child to drive, missing lunch to sleep etc. nonsence that goes on during the school year.

So we have had the big PG scare this week!

Yep...you heard that right...the big
