~ Moving On Up! ~

We're moving on up the socio economic ladder, ok so we aren't the Jeffersons but we got a Pool! It's not huge or anything but it's better than nothing. We've worked hard and since we can't afford to go on the Doof Cleanus Colorado bike trip I felt that we should have a pool for all of us to enjoy at least. The boys love having a pool! They're part fish! They get it from their parents. Hubby and I were the same way when we were kids. Bubba wants to stay in it day and night.

Today it was cold outside but Hubby wanted to go into the pool and so did Bubba. So they took the floaties and had a good time.

As you can see they were having a noodle battle! They were chasing each other around the pool battling with thier noodle light sabers and then using them as water canons. They were so funny. Then Hubby taught Bubba how to float on his back in the pool. Bubba did really good! I'm so proud of him. He's so eager to learn to swim. Hubby was also helping him to learn to kick his legs and do the doggy paddle. I would say that all in all today Bubba made emense progress. It was so great to see Hubby and Bubba having fun together in the pool.

But the highlight for me was the moment that I've been waiting for. I've been waiting for almost 20 years For this..................my Hubby finally offered me the BIG ONE! LOL

Well after that offer how could I possibly resist getting in the pool with him. I'd have to be crazy not to. lol So, I went and put on my suit and then hopped on my green floaty. I was freezing to death. Then after I've been floating around for a few minutes my Loving Hubby who had just recently made me such a GENEROUS offer pulled me over to him. He kissed me and smiled at me while gazing into my eyes. That's when I saw it. This twinkling glimpse of pure evil. I told him not to do it. I begged him not to and I even said please! The next thing I know I'm under the water. We'll see if he gets any tonight even if he did offer me the BIG ONE! LOL

~ Engage Cloaking Device.... Now! ~

I don’t know why this bothers me so much but it does. I read this morning on yahoo news about how the President and Vice President of the United States has decided that all visitor logs to the Vice Presidential Office and private residence should not become public knowledge. Not only that but they want the original visitor logs from the Secret Service as well and the Secret Service isn’t to maintain any copies.

This truly troubles me because it raises red flags for me and makes me wonder why this is. What don’t they want us to see? What are they trying to hide? Would an honest public servant act in such a suspicious manor? Will the names on the visitors log show that Halliburton and the White House, especially the Oval of the Vice Presidency are so deeply in bed together that a scandal and later possible charges could be brought forth? Would those names on the log show that the Abramoff scandal goes higher up the food chain then previously thought? Why all the secrecy about something so trivial and petty? Why fight the release of this information in the court system when the log has no dire or direct effect on Nation Security? And who the hell is paying the court cost for this battle over these trivial logs anyway? I’m sure that it is us, the American Tax Payer! Just another waste of OUR hard earned dollars IMHO.

This White House Administration has placed around its self a faulty Klingon cloaking device from the very beginning. I truly don’t know which is worse; the fact that they are constantly trying to hide from the American public at large or if they are just to damn stupid to realize that the American people can still see them. They’re adults now and standing in the middle of the room with their hands over there eyes while decreeing that we can’t see them, is no longer cute nor does it work to their advantage like it does for a 2 year old. I’m truly frustrated with this Administration.

Bush promised honesty and integrity in the White House and I have yet to see any of that. What is honest about invading another country without probable cause? Hell at least the cops have to have that! What is honest about LYING about the reason for us to enter into this war? What is honest about changing the reasons for a war mid stream? And what is so honest about wasting the American Tax Payers money to fight to protect visitor logs that are not a threat in anyway to National Security? Where is the integrity in this behavior? I just don’t see it at all.

Granted I don’t like Bush as a President and I didn’t vote his retarded ass into office either. Hell I didn’t even want to vote for Kerry because he was a drooling depends wearing bore but Spuds McKenzie wasn’t on the ballot. LOL Seriously there really hasn’t been any good candidates to choose from for the last 8 years. It’s rather been disheartening to me as an American. So during the last election I had to pick the lesser of two evils like most of America. I chose Kerry because he at least had a couple of brain cells to rub together where as with Bush I kept hearing, “Party on Dude!” In my head every time I saw him and still do.

I think in the following years many things will come out about this current administration. I would hope that if wrong doing was done that the head honchos of this racketeering bunch will be held accountable. And not just the usual token sheep that is sent to be sacrificed at the public alter in order to pacify the masses. If anything this Administration should teach us Americans that we need to hold our Government up to higher standards and most importantly…. DEMAND those standards. I would hope as well that we as a country have learned that having litmus tests about Candidates Faith and their stance on ONE issue before we will vote for them does not a good President make.
