Yep, I’m starting the post off that way because I already know what’s coming… Put your judge-y pants on, folks, I’m bracing.
Charlie does not like preschool so far. Um, that’s not exactly right. He has demonstrated a full on dislike. As in screaming, crying, clinging and protesting an hour in advance, [...]
From my dad, very funny:
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know [...]

Bush is trying to reintroduce the immigration bill today. I wrote a post about this for taxgirl.com and I’m trying to boost its visibility. If you have a second, can you vote for it on digg? I’d much-o appreciate it! I spent a bit of time getting the post together.
