The American dream

Well I suppose that can be loosely interpreted to mean just about anything. However, for arguments sake lets say that is owning a home. I want to own a home. Heck I want to own ANYTHING. I own nothing, nothing is mine, my car isn't even mine, it's technically owned by my bank. My house is owned by the United States Navy, and for all intense purposes so is my husband, but I digress. Where was I? Oh yes, owning a home.. well not just any home.. THIS HOME.. It's perfect, it's pretty, it has a pool. It has 5 bedrooms (giving me places to stow all my children) and a lovely yard, it is also mere feet away from my children's school. EVERYTHING about it is perfect, well except for 2 little things, 1) I live in California, so therefor ; 2) its 665,000$. Hmmm let's see base pay for Daniel is around 3500.00$ a month, so if we didn't eat for 15 years, I think we could save it up.. hmm perhaps that's a bit impractical.

Ok Media outlets.. I am PLEADING WITH YOU

I don't care which side of the coin you are on, but this has got to end. THE RHYMING.. ohhh the rhyming. I don't think I can endure 4 years of this!

So please, I beg of you all, STOP I can't take it, I don't want to hear it! Where will it end?? Obama's llama's pajama rama-dama drama?? Perhaps I should just stop watching Inside Edition.. I mean SERIOUSLY!!!

A monumental day calls for monumental stupidity.

I bet your thinking wild horses couldn't pull me away from the game today.. well you would be wrong. Amidst my lack of cognitive thought and overall useless brain, I did something that may very well go down in history as the DUMBEST thing I have ever done.

Daniel and Connor will be gathered around the tv with 7 layer dip and other fabulous treats. They will see the great plays, and then "The Boss" play the what should be an amazing half time show. I however will see none of this. For today at 3:30 I have tick
