Random quotes of the week
Clinton. Obama. Obama. Clinton. Then there’s that McCain guy. And I don’t really care about the whole Republican/Democrat thing– I just want a President who agrees that healthcare, alternative fuel sources, and environment need to be on top of the list (rules out Hillary) and war and oil at the bottom (rules out all of them).
I’m so over this crap. Just get it (the election) over with. It’s not like we (the little guys) have any say anyways. I mean, let’s face it. The whole process is a bunch of smoke and mirrors crap, in my opinion. I wish they (the corporations and oil tycoons) would quit insulting our intelligence by even putting on this whole elaborate show and put the man, or woman, in the White House that they have intended to put in office this whole time. I’m over it. If I had a choice Obama would make it in. But my guess is that if he does make it in, it’s because he’s the “chosen one” (by those Big Wig Powers That Be) and not because we (The Peasants and Peons) really elected him.
I’m a conspiracy theorist. Obviously. I’ll shut up now. I’m probably not making myself sound very intelligent. Paranoid, yes. Intelligent, nope.
So an interesting and silly conversation that took place this week:
Me: Clinton won Ohio. She’s bragging about sharing the ticket with Obama, with her name on top. This all just makes me want to move to France. At least we’d have health care.
Jeremy: Well, you knew they weren’t going to put a black man in office.
Me: You think they would rather have a white woman than a black man?
Jeremy: Before a black man, they will put a green booger in office.
Silly Man. One of the many perks to being married to Jeremy is that he takes nothing too seriously and helps me laugh at myself. I need that.

Enough about politics. Yuck!
Yesterday I was trying to get Bella ready for an appointment and she wasn’t cooperating with getting dressed. I finally told her that I had some stickers for her if she cooperated and listened but if she didn’t follow directions, she’s have to wait for those stickers. She says, ” Mom. You’re like a wicked stepmother. I’m going to get a new mommy.”
Ughh. My heart still hurts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeremy is up for a nice promotion at work. There are too many perks, it’s wonderful! It’s almost too good to be true. Better pay, company truck, he’ll be supervising instead of breaking his back… The head honcho is a single guy in his 40’s. Every time I go into the office, he is hanging on some secretary or checking me out like I’m fresh meat. He’s just got a different reality than Jeremy, a family man. Anyways, while he and Jeremy are discussing the promotion, Jeremy mentions how he has a wife, 3 kids, and one on the way. His boss looks at him and says,
“Well you’re screwed, aren’t you?”
Good thing he’s at the top. You wanna have a good man on top–with outstanding morals who knows where his priorities should be. Geesh. Chivalry. I bet he makes him momma proud.

Oh. And guess what!??? I’M STILL PREGNANT!

yes! move to France so we can be friends, my daughter will marry Austin and you and Jeremy can do murals for my boys bedrooms and you can teach me to sew.
I totally agree with you about your theory about the “chosen one”. Yes, in France we have health care and as I told you I get paid a good amount of money every month just because I am a stay at home mom and I have 4 kids ( they give you $200 per kid and it doesn’t mean you’re poor , EVERYBODY get the same amount)even if you work BUT we are still peons and little people and the president , besides the fact that he enjoys being in the gossip magazine , really wants to help his friends: all the rich big bosses, he could care less about doing what he actually promised during his campaign…
Keeping the fingers crossed on your pregnancy…
I did a little cheer when you said Jeremy told the guy at work that he had 3 at home and “one on the way.” I’m glad you’re still preggers. HOw are you feeling?
Reading the other comment, France sounds okay! When do we go and what about the senior citizens. Social Security? lol
Hope your hubby gets the promotion.
Take care of yourself. Did I tell you My first granddaughter will be born May 6. I can hardly wait, I think her name will be Braylee. I wanted her to be Joanna, would be getting my son and dil’s name. I have 1 grandson who is 12 but I don’t see him much anymore. Guess its that pre teen thingie.
Oh and I’m hoping Obama makes it too, but I’m not holding my breath… If we can elect bush twice, well then it’s obviously rigged. (Sorry if anyone here likes him, I just don’t.)
Steph–THAT’S exactly what I think. Both Bush elections were solid proof for me that the whole thing is a big joke.
Sissi– Seriously, we thought about moving to France. We watched “Sicko” and were CONVINCED that we needed to pack our bags and buy some tickets to France. I don’t think we’ll ever leave though. And aren’t you leaving for St. Marteen soon!?
Alabama Grandmother— That’s fantastic news that you’re having a new grandbaby coming in May. May is a GREAT birthday month. I think Braylee is a beautiful name too!
Politics Schmolitics.
You’re still pregnant!! Wheeeeeeeeee!!
Congrats on still being preggo!!
I don’t talk politics, so….
Congrats on still being preggo!!
My kids say they want a new mommy all the time, they say it because they think I’ll cave. Then one day after Sam had said it like 5 times I told him to go ahead and find a new one, to which he did a fake whine/cry (seriously… he said ‘Wah’) and said “No! I like this one!” ……….. kids.
Yay that you’re still preggers!
I watch Sicko too, it was pretty true about the health care system and how you get paid to go on vacation or for your kids day care
yes, sint maarten is still in the picture, it doesn’t arrive as fast as I would like but I am being patient, no problem over there because Sint Maarten is half french so I will keep the same social benefits, I might even get them to pay for my rent a tiny bit!!!
SO happy on the preggers thing! Jeremy’s boss is an idiot. He’s just jealous cause he’s too big of an idiot to find a women to put up with his shit!! lol
My sentiments exactly, Cheri!
I am so sick of the whole thing too. And I don’t see how the Democrats can possible beat McCain anyway if they have to spend all their energy and money fighting each other! I really want Obama to win, I wish the Clintons would just disappear. Her tantrums remind me too much of Bush.
I think everyone is sick of the campaigning already! Oy!
So glad you are feeling well and that all is going along okay with your pregnancy. I am praying for you!
Have a great weekend!!
xoxo
Linda
so glad to hear the little one is clinging on! hope you’re feeling well.
barack is my man.
Glad the pregnancy is still going well!
Promotion? Oh so cool! I hope that all works out and the big boss can learn to keep his mouth shut about being screwed.
