Why I'm voting for Obama

Jay Leno showed a clip of a very funny speech by John McCain last week. McCain stumbled over his words so badly that I rewound it and watched it over about six times (thanks to Tivo...bless his little computer chip heart).

Anywho, I needed a laugh today so I looked up the video on YouTube. I just had to share, so watch this very short 8-second video:

And this is why I'm voting for Obama. Enough said?!?

He's how big?!

Four things in my life I'm truly thankful for:

1. my beautiful, perfect daughter
2. my loving & faithful husband
3. my wonderful family & in-laws
4. not having to give birth to a baby over 10 pounds!!

On Wednesday my best friend, Amanda, of 8+ years gave birth to a beautiful (and huge) baby boy. Eric Daniel Gonzalez tipped the scales at 10 pounds, 3 ounces! Amanda was in labor for over 16 hours and gave birth naturally because the epidural didn't work (and how does that even happen?!? Those doctors have some 'splaining to do!). Needless to say I have a newfound respect for the woman!

Welcome to world, little guy!

Other large babies of note: ME! I was 10 pounds, 6 ounces! Sorry, Mom!

Have you ever been this tired?

So day before yesterday was a pretty normal day. The kids (Hailey and Sergio, of course) played at home in the morning. We sat down for lunch at about noon. As it happens most days, I was done eating long before they were. So I decided to unload the dishwasher while they finished up.

Before long I hear a funny noise coming from the table. I look up only to find Sergio snoring! Poor little guy was so tired he fell asleep right there in front of his Mickey Mouse shaped cheese!
