Way over due for a post...

Ok I'm way overdue to make a post here and I have been meaning to say something here the last few days since the new President took office. I was able to sit and watch the inauguration on Tuesday while my girls were in and out of naps. I'm a total basket case when it comes to grand ceremonies and big events and glad that I was at home alone with the girls (who are far to young to care and poke fun at their mother). But I found it a very emotional event, I know I said awhile back to my husband that no matter what the next president would make history be it Barrack Obama or Hilary Clinton, something told me that McCain really stood no chance. The country as a whole was dying for change and Palin was such an odd choice of Vice President he really shot himself in the foot and placed the final few nails in the coffin as it were.

It's nice to have a younger president in office and someone who just feels a bit more in touch with the people, there have been so many days where I've sat here thinking does Bush really have a clue...he made so many bad judgement calls in my opinion I honestly have little regard for the man and I'm glad to see him gone. I hope Obama turns out to be a good president. I'm not sure he's going to be able to achieve everything he hopes but I just hope he is honest enough as politicians go. I dunno but I so feel like a lot of the politicians cater to the baby boomers and are really ignoring the new generation that is up coming and are getting out of touch with them. This was the first election in a long time that the younger generations took more of an active role and I think the result of who our current president is shows the power that we have. I can certainly say to my girls look here look at this man it doesn't matter who you are you can make something of yourself.

Talking of the girls we are now having conversations with Mum and Dad...smiling a lot more holding onto our fingers. Make stink bombs of diapers, soy formula isn't the most forgiving to the nostrils. I'm getting a bit more time during the day to do housework, I've also become an avid Rachael Ray fan, and I'm enjoying cooking again thanks to her inspiration. I also love her web site as it makes searching for recipes easy and makes finding ideas for using up ingredients easy! And given I've not seen most of her shows until I stopped working I can easily watch repeats! The show is also nice and kid friendly so I don't have to worry too much about violence...I am not overly anal about TV with the babies but I am aware too much too TV is bad and I don't want them to rely on it to entertain themselves.

And talking of kids I have a little stink bomb and crying baby to take care of :)
