My husband

Sigh .... I love my husband.

There are a lot of things I don't like about him ...

1. his hunting addiction - it cuts into his adoration of me (pout) ;-)
2. his nasty morning breath - seriously ... gross
3. the way he drives - he usually scouts for deer while we're going somewhere
4. the way he dilly dallies - I have to tell him at least an hour before we leave that I want to leave
5. how he copies what I say - I'm not kidding he drives me bonkers when I'm talking and he just repeats me or tries to talk at the same time. ARGH!!

There are a lot of things I do like about him though.

1. his hunting addiction - it DOES keep me fed all year - well moose season does ... usually
2. his nasty morning breath - reminds me he's still alive
3. the way he drives - at least he won't hit the deer ....
4. the way he dilly dallies - although usually annoying, sometimes it's cute
5. how he copies what I say - I know he's paying attention lol

My favorite thing about Corey is that at the end of the day, no matter what happened, or how many times we *discussed* something, he always says he loves me and refuses to let me stay mad. He reminds me that he's always listening, but sometimes he needs to process things first. He tells me no matter what crazy thing I do (y'all know I do weird things) he supports me 100%. He thinks about my feelings ... not always first, but they do come to mind and that's important lol.

And he's a great daddy to his baby girl. So he spends most of their time together watching hockey and explaining to her the statistics of his crappy team, and how they should trade that crappy player and I'm pretty sure her 2nd word will be *#&$ or @#$(@#$&( (I say 2nd word because Corey insists her first word was mom).

So even if I'm furious and stomping around the house. Even if I'm complaining and venting about my husband. Saying he's mean and inconsiderate and all those things. Just smile and nod and agree (I wouldn't recommend disagreeing ;-) because chances are ... at the end of the day ... I'll change my mind. :-D

6 months

What ... it's been 6 months? What? When? Amélie is already destined to be taller than me, growing a steay inch per month. Joy. I better get all my spankings in before she's 5 ... ;-) I watch anxiously for signs of teeth ... or any tooth for that matter. I'm sure I've begun to hallucinate because I was SO positive I saw the tooth the other day ... and now it's gone. Amélie is not too interested in crawling but is thrilled as can be if you offer to hold her on her feet. She loves looking you in the eye and will squeal in delight. She's also a copy cat so ... you know ... don't do whatever lol. She likes to chill and watch TV sometimes you know ... like House ... Fringe .... Pocoyo and Rolie Polie Olie. She weighs only 14 lbs 9 ounces, but I guess that makes her a tall skinny girl. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I wish I was tall sometimes sigh. I know before I know it she'll be older and talking back so I cheris the time now. that's she younger I mean, she's been talking back since day 1. :-) She loves people and adores playing with kids, so long as when she's done she can go back to her momomomomomomom. The greatest achievement ... being able to sit up in the shopping cart ... no more CARRIER WOOT WOOT.

Prop 8 in California

As I watched the Election last night I actually assumed that Prop 8, passing the ban on gay marriages, would not pass. This morning I am stunned to find out that it looks like it will. What is WRONG with people? Don't they remember when a black person couldn't marry a white person because it was socially unacceptable? I'm so sad for all those gays and lesbians (or is it just gays ....) who are only looking for equality. Hopefully it won't last long and I can't imagine it will. As I've said a hundred thousand times I'm sure .... with every new generation being born, change is bound to happen. We are being raised more liberal and always searching for equality. Just like the midwives in Saskatchewan. They are going to stay no matter how hard people fight against it.
