true confessions

on friday, princess had her preschool graduation. she only graduated from the 3/4 class to the prek class but still a huge deal in our little world.

tonight, mapboy has his school music program. this is the first one of his school career. it is for all of the k-2nd grade. he will be singing several songs with an animal theme of some kind. this should be a big moment as well, and it is....but here's my confession: the finals of american idol are on tonight! so all day long i've been thinking "will we make it home on time? why won't our recorder record anymore? who can i call to record it for me? when will i get to watch it?"

sad isn't it? while my little boy is so excited to perform for his friends and family i'm stressed about american idol!! what does that say about me??? well, amazing race is over, survivor is over, this is the final week of american idol....what will i watch next - and geez, i am really pathetic!!!

what can i say? at the end of the day i love a good reality show. that reality always seems much more exciting than mine. i do think i'm living a bit more reality though.

and yes, tonights performance at our elementary school will be the great reality show that i most definitely do not want to miss. and rest assured, i will find a solution to my american idol dilema!

That's so funny because that's exactly my dilemna for tonight. In fact, Say Anything just said this morning that she can't believe I scheduled this coffeehouse the night of the American Idol finals!!!! So, don't worry, we are all pathetic. But my DVR is definitely set to catch all the action. Go Jordin!!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
