This is going to be a crazy week for me. I have nine million things to do in the next three days, before I go on vacation on Friday. There is likely to be a lot of posting this week, because this is a pretty significant week for me. It may make up for the lack of posting in the past few weeks. Or by the weekend, you’ll be like, dang she’s long winded. Make her stop. Hehehe.
-My mother and MIL were both at our house this entire weekend. It was great actually. The kids were entertained, I got to rest a ton and try to get back to feeling better. I didn’t have to cook or clean for three days. Logan and I had a date night last night. We went to the Taste of Colorado, went swimming twice and had a BBQ on Sunday. Hai, I’m tired now.
-I apologize to the patrons and employees at MiMi’s Cafe yesterday, for the um…poop. That was a new experience for me. I mean, I’ve had to deal with some poop in my day. But the explosiveness of it was um, impressive to say the least. Let’s put it this way, I’ve never in my life had to carry my son into the bathroom, still in the high chair. Wooden high chairs clean right? Really, truly, I apologize.
-This is the first day, I’ve been able to taste my coffee in a week and a half. The first day, I’ve felt even a bit better. I may just live.
-Thank you to each of you for your kind birthday wishes to Logan. I read them all to him the other night. He had a good, if not totally laid back birthday.
-Netflix movies that we saw this weekend were: Escape to Witch Mountain, which I thought was okay, but nothing compared to the original, which we own; Revolutionary Road, which I never should have added, since I didn’t like the book; and Hancock which we all thought was hilarious. Thanks for the suggestions last week, I added them all in.
-My children will be listening to THIS SPEECH by President Obama today at school. I personally find it INSANE that people truly think there is anything wrong with this. I just want to shake people sometimes. How is it wrong for our President to speak to children about staying in school? How is it anything more that that? I remember several times as a kid watching a speech in school, by a President. It was never anything as great as this. It’s all about education, staying in school, believing in yourself and finding what you are good at in life. How is any of that brainwashing our kids? I just don’t understand. I find it really bassakwards that people would keep their children home from school today, because of this. Sigh.
So, how was your weekend? What do you think about this speech today?

Wow! How can anyone in their right mind think that this is brainwashing??! Truly encouraging, inspirational and aspirational… something the children of those parents keeping their kids home today are clearly lacking in their home life… exactly the kids who should have been allowed to see this.. You sure have one hell of a President there…. not the mumbling, bumbling jackass Prime Minister we have here in the UK! I always told my girls, the world is your oyster… you can do or be anything you want.. it’s up to you. Only you can do it, but I’ll fight for you and support you all the way…. do it for yourself, and give it your best shot

Ahhhh poop explosion! Frankly that’s more offensive than the President’s speech.

I am sadly too familiar with the restaurant poop-splosion. And then there was the time that A vomited right next to the hostess station. Good time…gooood times.
And we watched the speech. I told my students that our president was someone who statistically should not be where he is or as educated as he is, and even if they disagreed with his politics, they had to respect the path he took to get there. I didn’t think it was his best speech, but I so appreciated that he told students they needed to be responsible for their own education. More kids need to hear that.
Comment hijack complete.
Sounds like a great vacation! Too funny (only because I’ve been there – well almost) about the restaurant though. I can’t believe you had to carry the high chair to the restroom! You’ll always have a story to share whenever you pass by/think about that place!
Not sure about the speech, didn’t see it. I did think people were being a bit ridiculous about it though.

I miss taste of DC so much. Restaurant week, that’s what you miss out on when you move to the middle of nowhere. Have a fabulous time on your vacation!

Apparently, most people got upset at the speech before they knew what he was actually going to say. Then, when the transcripts were sent out, most said “Oh, that’s not that bad.” Which, why make a big deal out of something if you have NO IDEA what you’re making a big deal out of?

I was shocked to find out that many of my friends didn’t allow their child to hear Obama’s speech. I just don’t get it, at all.
