A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

* Woke at 2am and refueled fire. Couldn’t convince myself to stay up and work.

* Sufficiently freaked at not having a job and insurance yet. I MUST secure something.

* Woke the 10 yr old at 6:09 and told her that the 7 yr old and I are leaving at 7:00 that she should be ready to go. Normally it takes her the entire 50 minutes to be ready. Today she has homework and really should take a bath. Gonna be rough!

Last Night

Battled with the 13 yr old in a war of attrition as we each wanted to give into sleep. I finally added wits to it and put the portable motion alarm back in the kitchen. Only thing, I couldn’t get it to work but Tommy thought it was there.

I could really use a beer right now. Highlights…

I could really use a beer right now.

Highlights:

– cooked dinner while 7 yr old and 13 yr old did homework and 20 mth old stared at tv or ran wild

– got 7 yr old and 13 yr old bathed, dinner ensued; convinced 7 yr old that he liked tacos

– fought with snack bingeing 13 yr old over dinner portions; parents win battle, 13 yr old thinks he’ll win war tonight

– check fire; meanwhile baby stands on open door of dishwasher and pops springs..now door hangs to floor

– bathe baby; note to self- post rules and regulations regarding the new indoor swimming pool I once regarded as a bathroom

– upset wife..oh, yes, I “attacked” her over the 4 dixie ups full of grease from cooking dinner that were spilled into the sink. I had them set on the sink so they could solidify so I could throw them away. I have yet to learn the proper way to dispose or recycle cooking grease. We had planned a candle lit evening together; I guess that’s out the window now.

– stoked fire; stared at very old Guinness on book shelf; sighed

Political Post of the Day

Disclaimer: I personally have not done this yet. I always read the fine print and maybe make some phone calls first. I recommend you do the same.

The following is from http://www.moveon.org/



Dr Friend,

In an attempt to escape responsibility for the misleading statements that led the nation to war, President Bush has announced plans to form an independent inquiry to look into what went wrong. An inquiry would serve the Bush administration well: it would envelop the issue in a fog of uncertainty, deflect blame onto the intelligence services, and push any political damage into 2005, after the upcoming election.

But the facts need no clarification. Despite repeated warnings from the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency, President Bush and his administration hyped and distorted the threat that Iraq posed. And now that reality is setting in, the President seeks to pin the blame on someone else. We can’t let him.

Congress has the power to censure the President — to formally reprimand him for his betrayal of the nation’s trust. If ever there was a time to use this function, it is now. Join the call for Congress to censure President Bush now at:

Thanks.



What is MoveOn all about?

MoveOn is working to bring ordinary people back into politics. With a system that today revolves around big money and big media, most citizens are left out. When it becomes clear that our “representatives” don’t represent the public, the foundations of democracy are in peril. MoveOn is a catalyst for a new kind of grassroots involvement, supporting busy but concerned citizens in finding their political voice. Our nationwide network of more than 1,700,000 online activists is one of the most effective and responsive outlets for democratic participation available today.

More Janet Commentary

Alright! Everyone that got so up in arms, explain to me why this was ok: Christine Aguilera. I bet that’s just as much breast as was shown. Oh. Wife explains there is no nipple. Big deal!
