Tomorrow's the big day

It's almost here and I'm still stunned. I've never been so excited to watch the inauguration before. On my moms site I wrote something about being excited and always a little in awe over the peaceful process we have in our country. Someone said it hasn't happened yet. I was stunned. I know people talk about the possibility of Obama being killed before he can take office but it just never seemed like an actual possibililty to me until I read that response. Scary. I still don't think it's going to happen but it took me back to the anger and hatred those few days around the election brought out in people and I'm reminded of how crazy people can be. It's so cliche but really "can't we all just get along?"

Toddlers & Tiaras

That was the name of the show I watched last night about those little kid beauty pageants. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem at all with these pageants. I think it's a little disturbing sometimes, those little girls who are about 10 really can look like much older teenagers. I would rather they not use fake teeth to cover up there missing baby teeth but it's not big deal to me. The thing I'm wondering is why are almost all the moms so horrible looking themselves! Especially, the moms of the more successful girls. Most of them are overweight and in some dire need of a style update. Huge Tammy Faye lashes and blue eyeshadow are simply unacceptable in 2009. As are mumus in public, and hi-waisted jeans, shoulder pads and jelly shoes. Unless of course you're at an 80's party. Maybe they could spend some of the $1000 dress money on a gym membership and a haircut. Just some evil thoughts.

Sometimes I just don't get it

I, for some reason I cannot fathom occasionally still look at the other moms blogs. Maybe it's just boredom. Today I find a comment from Lori talking about hatemail from me. I have no idea what she's talking about. The only time I ever emailed her was to support her the first time people thought she step down and then to agree with her about Brigitte Gabriel. I guess it was my response to all the hate-mongering I saw after the election. I did reference the blogs I read back then that I thought were scary and full of hate but whatever. I can't believe I stay in a group like that anyway. When I joined it seemed to have different types of people with different opinions. Once Lori took over it became a MOPS or something. The people I originally met are mostly silent now. It was like a covert Christian agenda had been instituted or something. I would've quit awhile ago but I enjoy book club and the occasional night-time event. Maybe it'll change now. Maybe I can just go to book club and not be a member. Who knows maybe I'll get kicked out when someone reads this.
