There are things I need to write down before they get lost in the shuffle of a hectic life. Yesterday, I dropped off my little girl at school, and as she was about to open the door to go inside she turned around and blew me a kiss, all smiles, all love. In that instant I was struck with the thought- this will not last forever, this one moment when she is small and all hugs and all smiles, loving me so totally and completely. I stopped and waved and blew kisses back, thinking, oh my gosh, how did I ever get to be so lucky? So blessed? This morning we cuddled, both in new warm soft fleecy jammies, giggling and joking around, warm under the covers. She is amazing.
And the older one! The tween, she of the ever-changing moods and hormones, she was incredible last night, and all of the week that led up to last night. See, last week we got a progress report from school. Seems little miss was a tad preoccupied and her grades in on subject slipped to a D. A D! First time ever and boy did we all about die from shock. After hours of conversations and tears and a suspension from the Twilight books (I’ll perish! She wailed, as she about jumped off the cliff, hair aflame) and finally resolutions to improve, can I just say, that D is now a B!! Soon to be an A!! How cool is my girl. Last night she came home with her progress report- and I was so proud of her. We sat on the couch, and talked about her dreams, about her wanting to be a vet, about possibly getting a cat soon….we just talked. She is taller than I by about 4 inches, yet she curled up next to me and we snuggled and laughed….my heart almost hurts with how completely priceless these moments are.
There are times when I don’t want any of this to change. When I want the girls to stay just as they are, and this moment, as perfect as I could ever want it to be, to remain timeless.

I was reading yet another article about Sarah Palin.
You know, Sarah Palin, Governor Sarah Palin, veep candidate for the upcoming election. Sarah Palin, spoofed unmercifully on SNL by Tina Fey (which I love!)
Sarah Palin, she of the no sex-ed for our kids, buy your own rape kit, Bridge to
Nowhere, Sarah Palin.
I’m insulted mostly, by Sarah Palin. Watching the debate last night, hearing her folksy repertoire and flagrant mom-dropping, made me mad. This is a time in history when a woman in her position should do the exact OPPOSITE of what she is doing. She’s winking and blowing kisses like a fucking prom queen, and THIS is the woman who should get our vote to be the Vice President? I have a problem with that. I had a conversation a couple of days ago, and was told that the only redeeming quality about Sarah Palin was that she was “slightly MILF-ish”. Milf-ish?
Seriously.
I’m even more insulted by John McCaine, and the idea that he thought if he put in a woman as his running mate and he’d get the vagina vote. The good-ol-boy vote. The religious right vote, the hockey mom vote the state of Alaska vote. (As far as I can tell Alaskans are quaking with rage at the thought. They do not love her).
The point of the post? No point, really. This blog is basically a means for me to turn the spout on and let my brain drain out the non-sense. I am interested in knowing though, what do you think of Sarah Palin?
