This is Serious

Every morning when Em first wakes up we watch her shows. I can tolerate most of them now that I have her. Before her I felt like my head was going to explode if I was exposed to any of them. Once in awhile we would watch our friend's children and it would drive me looney to have to have that shit on the TV. Just the way the voices fluctuate in those shows were enough to drive me insane. Now though, they are means of me being able to take a shower or clean up the kitchen quickly. I know what shows are good for what kind of business I have to do. For instance I know that when Oobi is on that Emily will be in a vegetative trance for 20 minutes so that is a prime time to take a shower. When Blue is on I can do a quick sweep of the house... Anything that has singing is good. That way during the song I can do something really really quick and she will never know I was gone.
Keith and I have even gotten to the point where we know most of the words for most of the songs. Sometimes you wake up hearing it in your head, nothing like a little "Hot Potato" first thing in the morning...
There is one thing though that really annoys the shit out of me about some of these shows. Why is it that is shows like Dora, Diego, and Wonder Pets that the Heros in that particular show feel the need to break out into a song right before they go to the rescue of someone in need? What the fuck is that shit? Every single time I watch Wonder Pets some poor baby animal is in a "life threatening" situation and instead of getting their asses there as quick as possible to help them, the Wonder Pets have to sing before they go. "It's a baby bird, it's stuck in the twweeee, this is serwwwious, we have to help her".... Can you imagine if Fire Fighters did that in real life? " Holy shiiiittt, this is serious, a woman stuck in a car, we need the Jaaawwwws of Life..." Can't they just save the damn bird then sing about it afterwards? Doesn't that make more sense? I am not sure what is worse though... Dora will be in the process of being chased by something and stop ask if we see a fucking mountain. Ummm, Just run dumb ass...Ask questions later!!
Sorry about not blogging much. I have been a bit sick with the weather changing and all. When the temp is 75 one day and 40 the next it tends to fuck up your sinuses. In a couple of days my family is coming to visit. My Mom and Dad are coming along with my sister, her husband, and niece and nephew. This is the first time in the 12 years that I have been married that my sister and her family will be coming to see where I live. Of course this is the first time that we have lived close enough that we can drive to see each other. It's still a 13 hour drive but it is doable...I am very very very excited. This is the first time that I will be having a holiday feast with all of my family at MY house. It is going to be hectic, crazy, and wonderful!!!!!
So, please excuse my absence the next week or so. I am going to soak up as much time with the family as I can. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving... Enjoy all your wonderful traditions and eachother.

Oh... I know most of you know... But I just wanted to say how happy I am for Kari and Ian. Congratulations to you both and Scotty. I talked to Kari last night and she probably thought I was a drunk, I was so giddy on the phone with excitement. I know I said I wasn't going to give you any advise but I do I have one piece... Soak up every second, the good the bad, don't wish any of it away. Enjoy every second of your pregnancy, your baby... You only get to do that that particular time in their life once.. Don't wish any "milestone" to quickly come, once it does another chapter of their life has closed and before you know it they are a walking talking toddler on the verge of going to preschool!! Enjoy every second with your little Monster, I mean Miracle.... (I get those two "M" words mixed up sometimes)... Love you guys!! And YOU know what I mean when I say, "Enjoy the torch that has been passed to YOU!!" LOL
