Nothing much to talk about...but Im sure I'll still fill the page :)

Man am I SICK of all the racist jokes being passed around now that Obama was elected. I keep getting texts with all these stupid jokes. Its just old. Its like everyone saved them up just to use them the minute the results came in. Oh well...hopefully it will get old quick and will stop. I am still emotional when I think of it all. I tivoed Obamas speech so Mychael could watch it and even watching it again I sat there and cried. It doesn't help that I'm at that "emotional time" so I'm crying easy anyway. I was so proud of Mychael last night though. Being a kid I know it is sometimes hard to understand that the differences in peoples skin color means nothing and its whats on the inside and so I wanted to see where he stood with it so I kinda tested him. We were getting ready to watch Obamas speech and I said "you know his daughter is really cute. You could start dating her and that way all of us could go to the White House" and I really kinda expected him to say something about how shes black even though I know we have taught him that its whats on the inside of people that counts. So he said "where is she?" and I told him that she was getting ready to walk onstage. So we waited and when the family came on stage he goes "yeah she is pretty cute!". It made me feel like we have taught him well. I'm not ready for the dating stage yet but the fact that he doesn't care about the color of skin (she just has to be cute!) makes me feel like he understands. I would think a lot of kids his age wouldn't understand white/black or gay/straight. Luckily Mychael understands both and accepts people for who they are. Hes such a sweet kid.

Speaking of gay/straight. I am saddened by the Prop 8 passing. Even though I don't live in California I watched that one closely and my heart hurt for those it affected. I cant imagine how it makes you feel to be told that you don't have the same rights as everyone else. I cant imagine how it would feel if Dave got hurt and someone told me I couldn't go into the hospital room. I cant imagine someone coming up to me now and telling me that our marriage was being annulled because people decided we shouldn't have the right to be married. How powerless and helpless I would feel if that were to happen to me. That is why my heart hurts for these people who are affected. No one has the right to tell you who you should/shouldn't love. Marriages between man and woman don't always go the way that they are technically supposed to. Cheating and divorce aren't supposed to be a part of marriage but a lot of times is these days. Isn't it supposed to be "til death do you part"? I know a LOT of people (me included) that it didn't work out for the first time. Does that mean that once you didn't do what you were supposed to that you should lose your rights?!? Should those of us that broke the vow we took in church not get a second chance? I just don't get why anyone has the right to judge that part of anyones life. Anyway...I'm probably not making sense because I'm getting fired up. I have a hard enough time making sense when I'm not getting worked up and trying to get my millions of thoughts typed out quick. So Ill shut up :)

Think good thoughts. think good thoughts...hmmm what to talk about now

So tonight Brayden and I watched Mychaels football practice. I was pretty excited because once it gets dark so early they cant practice for very long so that means less time sitting in the cold. I had also been counting the moments until it was dark so we could leave and I could finally eat for the first time today. So it finally gets dark and I'm ready to pack it all up when some dumbass parent decides to pull his truck in the field so his headlights would provide a little light for them to finish up. Well then that starts something and everyone starts pulling their vehicles out on the field to circle the team. Before I know it my daydreams of Arbys roast beef was slipping away headlight by headlight. So over an HOUR later the park security guy finally comes by and tells everyone they cant put their vehicles in the grass and to move it. I was ready to jump him and kiss him. My stomach was loving him. So finally I think we are leaving cause it is then pitch black and they cant see the ball right?? Yeah but they can run in the dark!! So then we sit out there for another 25 minutes while they ran. I love watching Mychael play but today was one of those days where I had my plan (meaning dinner) and I don't like when my plan gets screwed up (meaning don't mess with my food!).

Marlene (my mother in law) came back from Germany tonight. It is good to have her back. It seems like she has been gone forever. I was excited for her to see Brayden because of all the new stuff he is doing now. So she got to spend some time here after Dave picked her up at the airport. Then she went to Tanjas to see everyone and stay the night.

Well I am getting distracted by a tired and crabby Brayden so I am done for tonight. Told ya I could still fill the page LOL

See ya,
Christy
