Guess Who's My Favorite Person on Earth...

My son! He is sooooo funny; last night when we went to Applebees for our Valentine's Eve dinner (yes, it's not just Christmas and New Year's...according to William, every holiday has an Eve), we ordered mozzerella sticks for an appetizer. Then, when we placed our entre order, William ordered mac & cheese and told the waitress "That's a lot of cheese for a guy who's lactose intolerent!" While the waitress didn't bat an eye, I thought it was hilarious that a six-year-old can deliver a line like that!



Again, spell check isn't working. Forgive me!

Meet My Mini-Me

My son is approacing the 7-year mark. He is, as they say, the apple of my eye. The last two years, maybe even the last year, have been the best yet. Not just because he's soooooo much more self sufficient, but because we truly "get" eachother. So I'd like to give you a list of a few of the reasons my son is my favorite person on earth:

• The other day in the car I said something and his response was "True That"
• Our usual "What do you want for dinner" conversation usually goes like this: Me "What do you want for dinner?" Him "Well, I know you don't want to cook, so..."
• As we were walking into Target the other day he says "How come things opposites are always two words....like the opposite of down is up and the opposite of yes is no?" I didn't have an answer to his question, but I really liked it.
• Ever since we set-up our PS2 and started playing Star Wars Legos, he says "I wonder what Star Wars Legos has in store for us tonight!!"

The fact that I really enjoy his company kind of caught me off guard, but it shouldn't, he's exactly like me. But when I was out with my friends this past weekend, I wished William could be there (figuratively) to join in on the fun! And that's when it hit me...he's the best thing that ever happened to me and as much as I feel like I need a break from him, I'm totally smitten and there's no one I'd rather spend my time with. Who knew?

P.S. The spell check doesn't seem to be working and I don't really like to re-read my stuff, so sorry for any spelling errors.

Yes We Can

I've taken a little bit of flack for switching my party affiliation in order to vote in the Iowa caucus. My candidate of choice? Barack Obama.

For my entire life, I have been a staunch republican, but this year, I couldn't get behind a single republican candidate. If you had ever told me I'd be supporting a democratic candidate for our Commander in Chief, I would had thought you were beyond Britney crazy, however, my life is not what it once was. I'm in a different tax bracket then I expected, I'm a single mother of an "At-Risk" child, I struggle to find affordable healthcare for my child, and although I don't personally rely on public aid, I see the need for it, despite the broken system.

Mostly Barack makes a kick-ass video:

Jokes aside, I was moved by the video. Propaganda or not.
