Next Year In...

I liked this humorous guide to the traditional Thanksgiving seder.

What I Think About When I Can't Sleep.

What time is it? Oy. It's move day. The house is only half packed. If I start to wrap dishes in paper, will I wake the kids? What the HELL did I do to my foot? This week's 10 miler was a mistake. Which podiatrist should I see? Maybe Adam's right and we shouldn't have chosen to move into a teeny-tiny apartment and remodel during an election year. How did I end up with a Republican? My baby isn't ready for kindergarten. I wonder where Mrs. Ferrer, my kindergarten teacher, is? Ugh, those stupid red mats we had to lie down on, and how often I did end up napping. "I pledge allegiance to the flag..." Mrs. Ferrer wasn't Mrs. Ferrer though, till I had her in first grade. She was Miss Rios in kindergarten and after a couple of weeks of first grade, when answer me when I called her Miss Rios. Gads, she was probably half my age right now when she was my teacher. My baby is so not ready for that big elementary school. My baby. My babies. Remember Sophie's Choice? How did she make that choice. I could never do that. But what if the Nazis were about to get them? Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Is it time to get up yet? Ugh. Not yet. Man, my foot is buggin' me. What kind of paint should I let the kids use to mess up the walls tonight? Doodles wants to write, "Good-bye house" on the walls. Are we really doing this? This is the house I had my children in. Do I really want to mess with it? Will this stupid project ever get underway? Did I really agree to be a room parent at the preschool? And I've got to plan that Sukkot program soon. What can we do that's different from the last one? Can I bake round hallahs in that tiny apartment kitchen? I said I'd start working again tomorrow. Am I really going to start working again tomorrow? I'm too tired to start working again tomorrow. How are we going to get all the crap out of our house? Is it time to get up yet? Ugh. Sleep or coffee? Sleep or coffee? What time does Starbucks open on Labor Day? What time is it now? Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. It's move day. Ugh.

The Perfect Present!

My mom found these while looking for gifts for Doodles. They should be on everyone's "must have" lists:
a Lego set for Bush fans and a way to transport the folks at Guantanamo Bay.

For All the Republicans Out There...

(and that includes you Adam!)

I don't normally post unrelated videos on my site, but I found this over at Mom O Matic and I thought it was hysterical.
