Best Dressed at the 2010 Emmy awards

It's no secret that I am obsessed with award shows.  Aaron took the kids to the pool toady so I could watch the Emmy's without interuption. the following are my favorite gowns:

Sadly Lauren Graham, whom I love, wore this ill fitting dress:

This week over at Zelda Lily, among other things, I wrote about The View, ass sewing, and Afgan school girls. Check it out if you have a moment. 

Dude Gets Arrested for Encouraging Kid to Swear for a YouTube Video

Whenever my daughter says the word clap she says crap. It cracks me every time. The other day during my boy’s water polo game, after a goal was scored she turned to me and asked “mom, why aren’t you crapping?” I died. I mean tears in my eyes laughter. There’s just something comical about little kids cursing.


That said I would never take it this far:  Teach a neighbor kid to swear for a you tube video



Also if I were that kid’s parents I would be beyond angry. What a jerk!

News flash

I’m going to start with the good stuff:


I've been bummed out with my school schedule so today I went ahead and e-mailed an English professor about the possibility of him adding me to his rooster. It was a firm no at first. Instead of giving up I sent him several witty (in my opinion, anyway) e-mails about how the very idea of spending an entire semester without an English class may very well kill me.  He caved. I am never pushy. I feel like a major life lesson was learned today. Happily I am now enrolled in English 205.

On to the bad.

My little guy (Jake) has pneumonia. It's not a huge deal. Medication will clear it right up but I had no idea just how sick he was. ON top of that I learned he has asthma. My sister had asthma and would wake up in a panic thanks to her attacks and it really freaked me out. I'm hoping that the same will not happen with Jake.

To make matters worse, Andrew’s hearing test results were not good and he will have to have a growth in his ear removed.

Why do medical situations have to happen all at once? I'm not a fan of my kids have health issues. Luckily nothing is life threatening, just simple stuff that can be taken care of. ON a side not my kids have the coolest pediatrician ever. I love her

I am super strong, I'm super brave.....

Amelia is always insisting that I film her doing various things like creating commercials in which she sells "those dogs that firemen use." or "rainbow colored basketballs" and other random 5 year old brained thoughts.  The girl just likes to be on camera.  I forsee a future thespian for sure.  A couple of nights ago she demanded I film her behaving like this:

The greatest irony may be Glen Beck's figure looming on our TV (((shudder)))).

While at the beach the other day Andrew decided to roll in and out of the waves on his stomach. It was one of the most hysterical things i have witnessed as a parent.  I got some video footage which doesn.'t even come close to showcasing how funny it was.

Back to school

My classes started up this week. I am not at all impressed by my schedule, History, Dream weaver web creation, my third course in Spanish, and speech. It consists of way too much homework. Last night I could not sleep and when I did I was writing a Zelda Lily blog post about prostitutes n my SLEEP!

I’m tired.

In my Spanish class the professor speaks solely in espanol and wanted us to write an 8 sentence paragraph in Spanish on our first day of CLASS, wtf lady. Oh, and she told us that we will have quizzes every time our class meets! Although I did manage to friend a 60 something aging hippy with the most beautiful hair I have ever seen. Her Spanish may be worse than mine. Is it shallow to admit that is why I like her so much?

My history teacher has a fondness for Hawaiian shirts that do absolutely nothing for his complexion. Also, the dude who sits next to me in his class has body odor issues and zero concept of personal space. I’m going to have to remember to find a new seat.

This week has seemed so rushed. It feels like Friday but it’s only Tuesday.
