Updates!!

It looks like Google is heading into another update! I for one, wasn't expecting it until late April--but Googlebots have been sited!! I only have this blog--but my sister has hers at Genki Desu Yo, Genki Desu Yo and Cheffin' It. So you would all want to check those sites out as well! Might as well give them a boost!!

I've never figured out how she has so much time for Genki Desu Yo, Genki Desu Yo and Cheffin' It, but she seems to do pretty good with it!! I'll have to find out her secret!

Cindy Sheehan Is Coo-Coo!

Yesterday was the four year anniversary of the start of the War in Iraq. I support the war--maybe not how we got there--but we are there, and we can do nothing other than win--so suck it up folks!! Cindy Sheehan lost her son in the early stages of the war, and what does she do--she lashes out at how this war is corrupt, and brought on with lies, and illegal. So hmmmmmm, lets see! I guess that means that I find her son far more heroic than she does. He was doing a great thing--he was involved in a wonderful undertaking that brought freedom to millions upon millions of people. Isn't it everyone's goal--to leave the world a little better than it was when we got here? He did that, for millions of Iraqi people, for Iraqi women, for Iraqi children. He was an honorable young man working to help people--and he died a hero. She'll claim his hero status alright--but then slam the very efforts that he died working for. Sounds like "Mom of the Year" to me!!! NOT!

Hockey Night

We are staying up late watching hockey! It's really kind of cute! My husband and two sons are sitting on the couch, and one son is sitting on a recliner. They've been cheering the entire game, but they are currently in a shoot out. The three oldest will cheer immediately when something happens--and then2 year old Brett realizes that he was supposed to cheer--so he cheers just a bit late! By the end of the shoot out, and to the cheering of all four boys (husband included), the Blackhawks had won. It was actually the game from the night before--my husband had recorded it. So as soon as they turned this game off--the one for tonight against the Ducks, started--and we are in for 3 more hours of hockey!

I'm not sure the 3 younger boys will make it through--in fact, I'll be stealing Brett here in a minute to get him to bed! Guaranteed the hubby will make it through!!

Merlot!!

I read today on MSN that a man in Utah with a vanity plate is reading Merlot is going to have to change it. Utah doesn't allow words of "intoxicants" to be added to vanity plates. I have no problem with that--I'm amazed at what sneaks through here in Chicago--much worse--and more adult than a wine vanity plate. The problem is--Merlot is a wine, yes--but it is also a type of Grape--pre alcohol form--Merlot isn't an intoxicant. Furthermore--it's also a color--and it just so happens to be the color of this mans car.

I should point out-that I have no problem with Utah liquor rules--I think many more states should try it--maybe there would be less DUI's and alcoholics in the world. And Utah is nowhere near being a "Dry" state. You just can't buy alcohol after midnight--I have no problem with that! You can't buy alcohol on Sunday--don't know why on that one--but again, I have no problem with it! If you want to go into a bar--you have to pay a "private club" membership--either for the night--or for a year--NOPE--no problem with that either! If you don't like the liquor laws--Move to Wendover! It's a 90 minute drive to work in Salt Lake--but hey--you can drink, and party, and gamble all you want! Plus you get to pass the big cement tree twice a day! Win/Win situation for you!!

FMN!

Friday Night Movie night is upon us again. I've talked about them enough--I won't go over the details again. Tonight we are going to watch the Disney version of Peter Pan. I've never seen it. That shocks a lot of people. I'm 35 years old and have never seen the animated Peter Pan -- or any other Peter Pan for that matter. I've seen "Hook" and it's one of my classic favorites--and I've seen the Ballet Peter Pan, and a high school play of it--but never a movie!

Jake spent the day up in Lincolnshire at the play--he hasn't come home from his friends house yet--so I don't know how it was. I've never seen The Wizard of Oz all the way through either! I've tried--but it loses my interest and I'll change the channel. I do know the basics--it was a dream at the end, and everything's back to normal--but the middle part, I don't know. Oh, well, I hope he enjoyed his field trip--maybe he can fill me in on what happens!

Blogging Again!!

I love to read other peoples blogs--I don't get nearly enough time for it in a given day--but at night when everything is quiet--I would rather do the "reading" blogging than the "writing" blogging! I do this during the day, unless something big comes up! In my recent wanderings I found a "MUST READ" blog. It's called Where's Mommy's Prozac and let me tell you -- this is one cool lady!!

What really captured my attention--her post--How Hairy Is Your Hoo-Ha? I swear--my jaw dropped and I honestly thought that Hoo-Ha must have a new and updated meaning--surely, no one would ask that question!! But nope--She Did!! And what was more astonishing--people actually commented about their little "labies", I was shocked!! Laughing hysterically--tears running down my face--sides hurting---SHOCKED!!

Now, just because I am a "lady" and raised with some sense of Decorum (stop snickering Rob), I will abstain from answering said question--I will, however, state--that my answer EXACTLY was given in the comments--not too far down the list!!

To be completely honest, Jennifer really does seem like an awesome lady! She sings the songs that her kids like--just to annoy them--heck, she even knew the Pussy Cat Doll song--and I barely heard that last night! And--she drives a really SHWEET car--I am hoping for some pictures of it in the future though! Check her out--and enjoy the drama of life with teenagers!! I can't wait!

Meet The Robinsons

We decided to take the kids to the movie today since they have the day off of school. We are going to see "Meet The Robinson's". It looks like a cute movie that the kids will really enjoy. There's a science fair theme-and both of my boys LOVE science. After that we will probably go to dinner-I hope it's somewhere good! I'm hoping the Outback!! mmmmmm, bloomin' onion!!!

I am a bad mom! I really hate school holidays. My kids enjoy school so much that they are just stir crazy all day on their day off! So it will be nice to get them out of the house for the day--and then to send them back to school until tomorrow!

Oh, what will I do next month when Spring Break rolls around--for a WHOLE WEEK!!!
