Seriously House of REPRESENTATIVES?

The House has passed the bill for socialized medicine.  Hate, hate, hate this President.  Effing rookie, he needs a time out.  Now it's up to the Senate to kill the bill.  What the hell is wrong with people?  Did they not pay attention in history class?  Can they not see what's going on?

So, I was Thinking of Going Back to Work

The baby is almost a year old and this living on a budget thing really doesn't work for me.  I like stuff.  So, while I was considering this I decided to do an impromptu fashion show to see what I need in terms of  business attire.  OMG, none of my pretty clothes fit me!!!  I look like a stuffed sausage! 
As sanity returned and the baby cuddled up to me I realized that going back to work is probably still another good six months away.  Now, I need to get my ass to the gym!

Can I just say that Carmelo Anthony is a Freaking Rock Star?

And so cute I want to die.  My celeb crush.  He's finally living up to his potential in the NBA.  He deserves a hug!

Halloween

My little girl is getting so big!  She's a goth Raggedy Ann.  The other two were dressed as a race car driver and a baby chick.  Awesome night, weather was perfect, children were well behaved.

Obama's Daughters Did Not Get H1N1 Vaccine

Obama's daughters reportedly did not get the H1N1 vaccine.  The White House says it's not available to them because they are not at risk.  CDC begs to disagree with them being at risk.  Not available?  LMAO.  He's the effing President.  If it's not good enough for your family, Mr. President, it's sure as hell not good enough for my family.  I refuse to be a guinea pig for a new vaccine, especially one with ingredients that are suspected to cause neurological disorders in later life.

Update: Obama's daughters have now been vaccinated according to the White House Blog.  My kids are still not being vaccinated.  Obama himself, and Michelle, still have not been vaccinated.  The risks of the vaccine are too great.  Looking at the odds, I'm going with no.

The Sickness is Coming

Today my son got sent home from school, sick.  He threw up in the hallway, twice, and the bathroom once at school.  He hasn't been able to hold anything down.  He's been sleeping for hours.  As I sit here with an incredibly stiff neck, sore throat, and stomach issues I wouldn't wish on anyone I can't help but wonder what kind of sickness this is and whether the baby will get it.  I've heard my oldest daughter coughing and sniffling, I know she's getting it.  She, of course, insists she's not.  My husband shows no signs, yet.  He did walk in the house today, pick up my drink and drink out of it, bad move. 

I can't seem to get the words swine flu from the back of my mind.  Here's hoping I'm being paranoid.
