Republicans bother me

I don't make a habit of putting myself out there when it comes to politics and religion.
I'm not going to push my beliefs on anyone.  If someone wants to talk about religion, I'm happy to oblige.
On HLN this morning, they were discussing the Republican debate from last night... I didn't see it, but the clips that aired really bothered me.
All people were created with free will.  As a Christian, I don't agree with abortion.  I wouldn't have one.  But it's also none of my business if anyone else gets one.  It's nobody's business but the person who is getting one.  And it's between that person and God. Period.
It's no one's business if a woman decides to use contraception except hers.  Realistically, a very small percentage of people wait until they are married to have sex.  That's a choice that a woman makes for herself, and politicians shouldn't act like they should have a say in it. 
It sickens me to think that these men have a say in what ANYONE HAS THE RIGHT to do with THEIR OWN bodies.  Really?
In my eyes, the way these people are trying to take free will away... it's the same as trying to play God.  And I wouldn't want to be in those shoes.

Monday. Clearly.

My husband woke me up this morning around 7:40 before he headed to work.  I snuggled back under the covers for a few minutes and checked my Facebook.  I admit, I'm totally addicted.  Since I quit my job to stay home with the kiddos, it's my main means of communication with just about everyone.  Anywho, I see on there that JP's school is closed today due to a water-main break.  My heart sunk.  I was so looking forward to the 2.5 hours of freedom after the day I had with the boy yesterday. If my life were a movie, this is the point where the scene would fade out, probably with some cheesy music, and the following would be in soft focus to further illustrate the flash-backiness. Yesterday was rough.  JP was cranky pants from the getgo, screaming every time I said something that he didn't like, or gave an answer he didn't like.  Everything was "WHY?!?!?!?!" Church felt awkward to me.  I felt like all eyes were on me and my screaming kid....

Leaps and bounds

My baby  girl is getting so big! Today is a pretty big day for the missus.  I'll try to recap all of the firsts I have witnessed. 1.) When she woke up, she squealed ," Mommy!  Brother!  Daddy?" when I went in to get her.  She seemed disappointed that daddy was already at work. 2.) She asked for more cheese at lunch. 3.) She went straight to sleep at nap time, and slept almost 3 hours. 4.) She took a bite of her frozen yogurt in a tube, said, "Hot!" and blew on it to cool it down. 5.) She got super fussy when we were playing downstairs.  She kept reaching for me and saying, "UP!"  After a few questions, she said she was hungry and wanted a snack.  I said, "You know, you can just say "I'm hungry" and we'll take care of you. She looked at me in the face and said, "I'm hungry". 6.) I had her on my hip when the boys were finishing the basement pick-up before getting a snack.  Z pointed at the stairs and said, ...

A talk with the doc

General anesthesia has weird effects on me. I told my doc this during my consultation, and he gave me a strange look. When I got my gallbladder out, I was super sensitive to sound for several days. This time, the sound isn't so much the problem, but putting together words is proving difficult. Writing is easier than talking, but it's still tricky. When the doc called me last night, I felt like a bumbling idiot, unable to string together a coherent sentence. I tried to ask him questions about what other options I have, and I know I came off sounding ungrateful.  And you know, maybe there is a touch of that. Not ungrateful... disappointed.  He suggested that I seek a second opinion.  He wants to make sure there aren't any other options that he doesn't see. He also asked how I feel about a hysterectomy.  I told him I'm not thrilled, and he said neither is he, but if that's the way it has to go, then he wants me to feel better above all. So, we're moving f...
