I am wishing I were the kind of person that doesn't view watching the state of the union address by the president as a wicked chore. It isn't that I don't care, it's just that I don't get politics at all, so he says stuff that sounds kinda nice, and then everyone goes to town ripping it all up, so I'm totally confused and wonder what the point of it all is. And then I feel guilty if I don't watch it because, well, I'm American. I think that is built in somewhere.
Speaking of state of the union, here's the state of the Ruggles household these days: Claire is home sick with stomach pains, poor baby. I am very glad she hasn't puked because I hate dealing with that, but it is sad she hurts and confusing not knowing what is up. Gabe is alternately excited she's here and irritated that she isn't playing with him or letting him pick the cartoons.
I'm sleepy from having woken up over and over in the night to care for Claire. I am doing piddly little chores here and there in an effort to maintain the house. I am wondering why my show is a rerun (yet again) so that there isn't even that little joy to dull the agony of the state of the union address. I planned on grocery shopping today, but with Claire home I didn't go. Now dinner is sucky, and I have no frosty beverages to keep me company. Maybe I can squeeze in a trip this evening? Around 8 o'clock, during the state of the union address?
I am slowly acquiring materials to redo our half-bath. I have ordered some tile and a vanity, which is super exciting, but I'm not known for being a finisher of projects, so I temper my excitement.
Maybe I can haul the kids to the store now and then get in line to get the other kids from school? Drat, all my jeans are in the wash. Maybe not. I better go put them in the dryer...

Yeah! I agree! Brian has been reading up on politics so sometimes now I understand a little more of the state of the union stuff. I watched every single debate during the presidential election, but got nothing except that they all say the same things because they only want to be elected and don't care what they are really going to do. Just the major points. Its annoying! Even if its on I won't be paying attention. Sorry about poor little Claire. I hate stomach pains too. They scare me for fear of an appendix rupture. I am in the same boat with the grocery shopping too! I rarely go! I was going to go yesterday and be really good and prepared for the week ahead, but Bri lost the car keys so no go. And today was terrible so again no going. Its plain old quesadillas for dinner for us!
love you!
During the state of the union I purposely went into the other room and read my book! I can tell you exactly what happened. The pres gave his BS. His opponents gave theirs. Every little aspect was analysed by the media, and nothing changes.
So sorry you have a sick baby! I so wish I was there to help you with your bathroom. I love that kind of stuff!
You say what I think! I love that about you. I didn't watch it and I didn't feel guilty. The few sound bites that I heard later made it sound like a preacher's sermon rather than stating the condition of our Union.
So sad that Charlotte is still having stomach issues. I hope you find something to help her soon. Love you guys!!!
