So I catch my 3 year old laying on her back in the middle of the kitchen floor slowly pushing herself around with her feet. I ask "what are you doing?" Her response is "I'm doing like Mo". For all those unfamiliar with the Doodlebops, it's a Canadian trio that dresses up in colored costumes and wigs and are a band that gets transported to concerts by a tye-dye shirt, chuck footed bus driver named Bob that keeps a blender on the dash. I kid you not. Mo breakdances regularly as the board the bus before embarking on their journey. My three year old is attempting to break dance in my kitchen. I am unable to assist, as my version would be striking similiar to hers. We've also tried the worm in the past and spent a Saturday morning practicing 'crowd surfing' so I don't know why I'm even surprised by this cute little circular scooching. It proves to me 2 things;
1- The 80's have officially landed, again. I never thought I'd see the day, I really REALLY didn't.
and
2- Everything is cute when it's little. Like a mini cup cake or size 0 chucks. ADORABLE.
There does come a time when your little ones get bigger and then pass over the line of cuteness. I know it happens. Their funny little comments become more rude smart mouthniness like the 6-year old downstairs who tells my daughter she's medium "for a kid" and I'm large (oh dang precious) even for an adult. I do my best not to squelsh her with my sarcastic comments in front of her very lovely parents who fail to flinch has said 6 year old raises her arm as if to strike them when being told what to do. Yeah, that'd fly with me. Remember Homey the clown? Homey don't play that . That's right little chillen. We have to conciously limit our exposure to said 6 year old since my 3 year old picks up her mannerisms like a sponge, complete with "looks". Her mother told me she said "How come when you and daddy are sick you are never in the mood to do nothing?" (with southern accent). Little precious has an awful dusty time out bench and constantly tests people. I found out she also falls asleep in the parents be EVERY night. Why does that not sound like a great idea. When are we cutting that off? When she's 12? I have relatives that allow their 4 year old to sleep with them every night, all night. She never sleeps in her own bed. Also a GREAT idea. How she even got a little brother is beyond me but I'm sure he'll want to join the party fairly soon. Some parents just make you feel better about yourself. Thanks for that. See Britney, it could be worse!

This is my doggy posing for her "Old Navy Mascot" photos. Couldn't look more depressed if she TRIED! Geez dog. Your life is so stinking rough. Ok, so I am going to have your ovaries removed and you'll never bear children, it's not so bad. That dog at the dog park was never going to call you anyways. I know his type. Trust me your better off. What? Taz from upstairs? NO way man, you may not have noticed but he is a chiauaua. No really, I am not lieing.
So, I have been physically ill with the concern of the unknown work adventures. I'm not the only one going through a lot, but I don't know how things will turn out in a matter of weeks or months, or if I'll sign another lease since I'll never be able to afford the housing payments in my area. (Darn antartica property taxes). I guess I figured things would be FAR more settled when I was this close to 30, but they are not. I may give up and move back upstate. Time will tell, I just have felt in limbo since I moved here, although there are plenty of things to like, there are plenty of things to dislike as well. I don't speak Spanish for one. I shall not go into it.
It's been a bloggy type day, I expected a lot more on my plate but since it hasn't arrived yet I've been dumping random thoughts on my contacts list. I'm not sure how much they appreciate that but it's nice to have emails that are not work related on a work day. It's like mail that's not junk mail. Refreshing. At least, I'd like to think so.
Is it bad that I blank out when my husband starts talking about all things work related? I'm not very detailed oriented. Just give me the big picture. Short/sweet.

It's been like a week, but a lot has gone down. The boss up and left. She took my company loyalty with her. Doesn't fein well when a billion dollar company doesnt' even bother to try and keep their top people. Dominos around here lately. Line em up! I don't know why I"ve been so miserable lately, I have a lot of things going on but I'm pretty burnt out as well. It's been very busy and people are very demanding and i'm really not that interested in pleasing anyone. I have to laugh when I do something to exact specifications and it gets dogged. You got what you wanted, don't blame me because you suck at design. You didn't want my input.
Other than that, the world is in it's own disarray. Let me just say that Bush's whole opinion on gay marriage (ban it?!) is just a distraction from the fact there is continuous unnecessary blood shed in Iraq and he started it with this false notion (aka excuse WOMD) that never panned out. Ever. My comments on his ploy are that the Consitution on the United States should not be amended, EVER. It is a historical document. No ones says it's completley right or wrong, make your bills, but do not amend something like that. Another point is, that document was written to ensure our Freedoms from opression. Our rights as citizens. It is not a list of what you CANT do, it's not about bans, sanctions etc. It is about ensuring that kind of crap doesn't go on HERE. You want to ban gay marriage, move somewhere else. We are the land of the FREE, get over it already. They keep saying they want freedom of speech, freedom of religion -but the biggest argument against the gay marriage thing is based SOLEY on the CATHOLIC RELIGION. Not mine, not many others. If you want to keep things free, you've got to be TOLERANT of others differences. Hey I have friends that voted for Bush, we don't talk about it, I dont hate them, I may think that's pretty dumb, but I like them all the same. What the hell is the big deal about GAy marriage anyways? Isn't marriage suppossed to be about LOVE? Why all the HATE? I don't think Republicans should be allowed to get married. How do you feel about that? They should be banned from reproducing. They are bad for the environment. I think Gay people are some of the most sensitive, open-minded individuals you'll ever meet. Because they know what it's like to be judged, they don't do it to others. Stop judging people. No one is making a fuss about any other marriages and a hell of a lot more hetero ones fail than homo so who is doing it right? What negative affect is it having on these people who want to ban it anyways? What's next? I feel like this whole country is a fucking joke, some Land of the FREE comes with a huge ASS disclaimer thanks to good old GW.
