This blog isn't meant to be political, but I found this today and really thought it needed to be shared with the world. My sentiments exactly.

As for the rest of my mundane existence....we're very close to getting our apartment finished and ready for use by my parents who are coming to visit next week. Not that we'll be home much. I've already planned an action-packed itinerary for every one of the 14 days they are with us. I hope they remember to bring their pills.

My daughter, Grace, is still keeping me on my toes, literally. In fact, I had a minor surgical procedure done on my left big toe the other day (it was so insignificant, I won't even go into detail), and later that night, once the anesthesia had worn off, it really started to hurt. So I did what any normal person would do--I scarfed down a couple of Darvocet. Good stuff, by the way. I never lost consciousness, but I definitely zoned out for a while, and at some point I gave Grace permission to give me a makeover and draw "tatoos" on the bottom of both feet with a permanent black marker. I'm really lucky, actually. She first tried to draw them on my lower back. I'm sure that would have looked great with my ultra-low rise jeans and red lace thong. The moral of the story---do I really have to spell it out for you??

Oh, and today, I finally found about 8 missing receipts from various purchases I've made this week. Grace had folded them up into little fans and taped them all together. Thank God for on-line banking and carbon checks.

And thank God for little girls like Grace, who makes my world go round, even if it feels like it's spinning out of control......
