So here I sit with nothing to do.  

That's not exactly true... I could be cleaning. Blah.

So I guess I should have started with: So here I sit procrastinating.

I figured I'd post since I haven't (once again) posted in a long time.

I just have nothing to post. Life is pretty quiet and boring. Which isn't bad because quiet and boring means there isn't a horrible situation happening.

So I will do what I always do... talk about James!

Good lord the boy is getting big. On 9/25 he turned 17months old. At his well baby appt. he was 31 inches tall and about 26 or 27 lbs. He got to stand on the big boy scale... no more baby scale for him.

The biggest news in James world is he now has 12 teeth. In the past month and a half his mouth exploded in teeth! He has been doing really well though. He has his days where he is OH so fricken whiney.. but over all he is doing good. 

He is walking so good. It's hard to beleive that that is my baby walking and running around lol.  

I think since he has walking down, he is gonna start focusing on talking more. His new word is shoe. He doesn't have that many words yet so that is a big deal. Let's see, he says: Momma, dada/daddy. all gone, shoe, something that sounds like what's that and hey you, ow, no, and hot dog. Ok.. heA only said hot dog once.. but it counts.

Ummmmm.

OMG is my life boring.

Today is my best friend/sister Vikki's birthday! Yay for Vikki!

My sister got this email and I stole it to post here:


Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.


Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.


Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.


Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.


Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.


Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries, then
Tax his tears.


Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ??


Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.


When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.


Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.
Put these words
upon his tomb,
" Taxes drove me to my doom..."


When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest
middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What happened? Can you spell " politicians !"

And I still have to "press 1" for English!?!

.... so I decided to share!
