Happy Birthday Ethan

Wow, Wow, Wow...
My baby is Nine today!!!!
How is this possible? He is getting so big. He has reached that age where he is no longer a little boy:( He is getting older and stuff is now babyish. Picking out presents and cards were tough this year. Its all either too old, or too young. He is truly a wonderful kid, yes I know I am biased but he is. He is gaining interests, many things that I am not interested in like hunting, fishing, and Nascar. We have had a blast reading the Harry Potter books together. He is on book six and does most of the reading by himself. He is helpful and caring. Yes, he doesn't like to clean, I hope I get one kid that does. I still have to remind him to brush his teeth, put the toilet seat down, flush the toilet, and wash his hands, gross boys. But he is a pretty cool kid and I am so lucky that he is my kid.

Change

Okay, I am going to do something I rarely do and that is bitch about politics. I find that it is generally good to just STFU about these things, its usually easier. I do talk politics some in face-to-face conversations though from time to time. I was watching a tv program the other night and saw the Obama "Change" poster in the background. I started thinking "HA, yeah right?
Sure, People that lean to the left will say "health-care passed" People to the right will say that our national debt has increased and taxes are rising. But what happened to a "Change" in Washington? "The new Washington"...remember that one?
Things in Washington have not improved, in fact it seems like they are getting worse. I am so sick of all the bi-partisan BS. We are more divided as citizens as well. People are sending death threats to representatives and senators that voted yes to "the Bill". Okay, everyone has the right to disagree but to threaten, not so much. Plus, it doesn't appeal to the cause. People saying they no longer want to be "friends" with people that support "the bill" on social media sites.
No one is going to ever like every aspect of a bill. There are some good points and some bad.
I think it is a shame that as a country we are becoming further divided and acting like a bunch of toddlers. This goes for both sides. My "wish" for Washington is that the different parties could work together instead of further apart. People do hold the power and it may not be a bad idea to elect some moderates from both sides and elect some third party candidates.

Okay, I shall be stepping off the soap box now.

I will blog, I know I can.

Okay, My blogging skills have been seriously slack. This is going to be a resolution of mine. I will blog at least once a week.
There I typed it so I must do it.
In my world. Well Piper is almost One!!!!!! That's right. I don't know how the hell that happened. She is teething again and super clingy. Of course once she turns one the "how long are you going to breastfeed?" questions will start to roll in. Ummm... when she stops wanting to nurse. This answer really can't be much of a surprise. Really she is my fourth child.
Although I do know that when she is done, I better have a nice trip to Victoria's Secrets to buy non-nursing bras. I hope I will at least be a 32A though.

Okay if Pi is about to be One, then Dillon is about to be Three. OMG!!! He is potty trained!!!!!! His new nn is " Dillon the Destroyer" He is sweet one minute and the next it is if satan himself has replaced my little boy. I swear it is like the kid has roid rage.
