My baby is sick. Not just a little bit. He is 104 degree, vomiting every three hours, laying around listlessly sick.
His little three old year face is sallow, with deep blue circles under his glassed-over eyes.
Nothing makes me feel more helpless than seeing a microorganism have its way with my son, while knowing I can do nothing but try to make him more comfortable.
It's amazing that such tiny creatures can alter our lives so much...

Wow.
In the span of a few weeks, we have seen the
(1) nomination of a creationism-loving, book-banning, moose-killing, hockey-mom as vice presidential candidate
-if you are ridiculed on SNL and the actor playing you doesn't say anything other than what you ACTUALLY said, then you should not be considered to be the second most powerful in the world. Seriously, everyone--Calm the F*CK down--yes she's a MILF, yes, she shoots guns and kills animals, yes she likes hockey. Sure, she is a mom of 5, sure she thinks everyone should have a baby they don't want, even if they end up killing said baby in the microwave during a crack binge. But all of those things don't matter...let's see this for what it really is, a Manchurian Candidate. If McSame/Failin get into office, McSame will become ill, she will take over and Cheney, Rove, and Rice will be pulling all the strings.
(2) complete melt-down of the economy because Bush/Cheney and co. let greedy people made stupid greedy decisions
(3) the spinning of a presidential campaign so twisted that we are now to believe that Republicans, not Democrats were for regulation of Wall Street, and the Republicans, not Democrats are against free market ideals
(4) Our current president at a 70% disapproval rating...
I can't even begin to articulate what I think about our country right now. For the first time ever, I have completely lost faith that we will ever, ever, get back what we've lost.
I can't handle this. Vancouver Island, here I come!
