up at 600am.

that's it.

i woke up at 3am...waited...
i woke up at 4am...waited...

...silence...

i can either attribute it to the shots he got at the pediatrician's office yesterday...OR...the HUMIDIFIER i put next to his crib last night!?

i noticed that while i was putting him in his jammies that his nose was so crusted and when i wiped it, there was a wee little streak of red in it. his nose must be so dry, it's cracked up in there somewhere...? dunno. never done this before. BUT i remembered i had a humidifier in his closet that i've never busted out the box yet and i used it -- and he slept for 9 hours straight :) WHEW. knock on wood. or something. cross fingers it works like a charm tonight!

of course, did i take advantage of this additional time to sleep?

sure...after WASTING HOURS reading Eclipse.....

**************

my hubby just returned from a biz trip so i made a big shiny dinner and caught up with him while isaac was napping, which in turn, caused us to miss the President's address. i did however watch it via YouTube this morning and got choked up. i am so SO flipping heartbroken to see him leave office, it's hard to watch him say goodbye. i was again reminded of his courage when he admitted that the world may not always agree with his hard decisions...but at least he was willing to make the hard decisions. so true. so rare in today's world. i feel a knot tightening in the pit of my stomach over the next upcoming week....breeeeathe.....

in order to distract myself, i went ahead and decided to drug myself next week -- quite literally.

i'll be having oral surgery on monday.
and therefore the rest of the week will be hazy, and blurry. just perfect for taking the edge off of inauguration day....

alright, i'm gonna be late for a pre-op appt....

(isaac does this squeeling thing that is SO FUNNY all of the sudden...i should video it so you can enjoy it as well!!)

No offense, but I think you are the only person who will be sad to see W go.

dear anonymous:

1) if in fact i'm the only person who will be sad to see W go, why not reveal your identity, given you have the support of the masses from the other camp.

2) if in fact i'm the only person on earth sad to see W go, why bother wasting your breath on my meager little republican blog. obviously, nobody would even be reading what i have to say, since i'm such a loner in my political views.

3) if in fact you are such an avid fan of the democrats -- shouldn't you have some rally, concert, party or inaugural ball to attend this weekend? sadly, you're at home, surfing the web. commenting on the stream-of-consciousness from a STRANGER.

4) frankly, i am offended, because you make ignorant comments on a very transparent, honest and public blog. this forum is reserved for people with balls enough to do the same.

5) lastly, you must be one of those couch-democrats who only garners political head knowledge from whatever the talking heads on liberal TV report. if you were somewhat educated in your beliefs, RATHER than leaving petty, pointless comments on a very personal blog, you'd at LEAST respect those you disagree with enough to acknowledge there are 47 MILLION people out there who did NOT vote for Obama. 47 MILLION people voted for McCain. the same mccain who voted WITH BUSH 97% of the time. as a democrat, there's no way you could have forgotten THAT stat, so soon, given it's the premise of your political platform. i think that serves to prove that you truly are as ignorant as you sound, because that would be evidence in and of itself that i have 47 MILLION people sharing in my grief that W is leaving washington. the city where I LIVE. the place i call HOME! where are you? idaho? freakin' backwoods mississippi? at the very least, under a rock, clearly out of touch with cold, hard facts. so save your "non-offensive" comments for somebody who can stomach them.

instead of insulting people, why don't you go harmlessly celebrate your big white house victory.

not only am i sad that W is leaving...i'm sad for people like you who voted for a man who is completely incapable of fulfilling any of the promises he made to you. the backpeddling has already started, but again, i wouldn't expect that you would know that.

now, please be a grown up, and leave my blog alone. i look forward to sitting back and watching all of you 'change the world' because 'yes you can!" you must feel overwhelmed by all the work cut out for you. hop to it!

...at the very least, i expect that in four years, i won't be the only one still sad W is gone. i bet there will be at least two of us.

...and i'll welcome you in with open arms....
