The Cat is on the prowl again and exterminating my yard (and probably all of my neighbors too for that matter) of any and all rodents. I do wish she would find a better place than my front step to drop said rodents, but anything is better than her bringing them inside right??
On a daily basis I can expect to find at least one dead something on my doorstep. A little "present" from the housecat to let me know she is doing her job and "earning her keep" so to speak. Last year her record was 5 kills in one evening, so far this season she is slacking and can not seem to break three. While I am thrilled to not have dead grass because of the moles- I despise having to remove the deceased and dispose of them, and I do not like having to have the "its dead" conversation with my overly inquisitive two and a half year old at 7:30 EVERY morning.
The Midget has hit the "WHY" stage.
Every response is followed with a "WHY" it is really driving me insane! That and her sassy attitude these past few weeks. The child is definitely her mothers’ daughter! ( side note: call me on that sentence and I will deny ever having said it. I refuse to believe I was ever anything less than angelic) (yes mom... you CAN laugh now, but my position on the aforementioned remains.)
My daughter is mastering the art of "smartassery" aka smart ass comments, quick wit comebacks and a tell it like it is mindset. I must admit some of the things that come out of her mouth are quite funny; Mortifying- nonetheless funny. She is stepped on quite a bit these days about her sassiness. I sit here wondering if THIS is part of the infamous "Terrible Twos" or if this is a product of environment. Of course only time will tell and in the meantime my hair stylist will become rich in having to cover the grey on This Mama's head!
My little one remains however (in my eyes) the sweetest little girl in the world. Inquisitive, Intelligent, Funny, Loving, Sassy and all around just wonderful. A day without her is like a day with no sunshine.
March 1st Hubby & I were officially together for 10 years! We celebrated by attending the wedding of his cousin and had a lovely day!
This coming Thursday (March 20th) we will celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary. No big plans as of yet, but I am certain we will do something to mark the occasion. The last Four years of my life have been the best. We've got a lifetime of happiness ahead of us babe. Thank you for choosing me to build a life with and giving me a love which some search their entire lives for. I love you and am so very proud to be able to call you my Husband.
(end sappiness - can't really think of a good segue here)
We are in an election year. Anyone who is not aware that this is an election year probably lives off the land and does not own a television set because with all of the mudslinging going on these days I can't imagine that there is anyone in the United States who can honestly say they have not heard the names Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or John McCain at minimum 500 times this week.
I too believe it is time for change and that the last 8 years have been nothing short of a complete train wreck as far as politics and government are concerned, but I do not feel it necessary to talk about the color of skin, the religions of our fathers or our choice in attire. Grow up! This is not High School this is about our country. A country in need of serious change, a struggling economy in need of serious help. Recessions, inflation, diminishing dollar value. Someone needs to step in and HELP before things get even more ridiculously out of hand than they already are!
As for whom I will vote for and why- I refuse to discuss politics. I learned a looooong time ago that the subject was quite touchy and for a passionate person such as myself who revels in always getting the last word- politics crossing these lips = bad idea. Opinions- those are a different story...
I am still not adjusted to this whole time change business, and what is it with Easter being so early this year????? I have got to get a call into the Easter Bunny and STAT! I am sooo not prepared!
Until next time...
