I'm so tired of seeing all the election stuff everywhere! Looking forward to 2014 when the election and aftermath is behind us, you KNOW it won't happen fast. I think social media is awful for politics. The government thinking they need to please the people instead of doing what's best for the country is rough!! Too many laws, too much fighting, too much HATE. It seems like no one can change their mind about anything anymore because those 'cute' picture things on facebook are polarizing people. Just because it makes you smile or nod your head doesn't mean you should broadcast it as your opinion! It is just someone else's words and opinions that are made into a fun thing. Usually stated as absolute truth, maybe your thoughts aren't quite as firm but posting it on your wall sure makes it look like your opinion... a discussion may force you to defend that stance and you then take it on as if it is truth! I normally don't even care about politics too much but this year is ridiculous... and I have a blog now :)

Everyone, just STOP FIGHTING!!

Oh man. This is me in the everyday.

On my feet

I've realized that I spent a lot of time on my feet. I can only sit peacefully if Eliana is engrossed in a show, is in her highchair or she's asleep! Now Isaac's starting to give me a run for my money... I'm remembering why we had all our gates up when Eliana was just a beginning mover. We used to have a barricade so she was stuck in the living room... he made it into the kitchen today. AND he's trying so hard to stand up that he's constantly falling.

... and she's potty training and I have to teach him "yuck, don't touch" and everything else he needs to know. *sigh* How can I want a break from a job I love so much?
Then they play together so sweetly... then he starts crying for who knows what reason. My nerves are tired... looking forward to tea tonight! I wish I could pause them so I don't miss any of the good stuff but I could still get a little time to myself.

... oh well. That's just part of the everyday.

*Edit*
Isaac pulled up to standing today. I think the falls are going to get bigger until he gets the hang of moving around.

*Re-do*

I'm giving this poor neglected blog a makeover. I'm still going to talk about me and my life but this will be more. "The Everyday" ... NO I'm totally not going to post everyday (I don't think) that just doesn't sound possible. But I'm going to share what doesn't seem worth sharing and epiphanies that would usually embarrass me... When I was a kid I'd sing to my Grandpa's cows at night. Oh yea, that was me - praising God and serenading the cows. My neighbors picked on me pretty good for that one. *phew* That was embarrassing memory #1... this should all be downhill now, right?

Welcome, grab a seat. This is me in the everyday!
