‘Twas two days before Disney, when all through the house
All the creatures were stirring as they thought of that Mouse.
The mommy was strung out with bags that were bare
With hopes they’d be full before she pulled out her hair.

I would write more but there is no time. Must wrestle the cat into a carrier and drop her at my mom’s. Laundry, laundry, laundry. Pack, oh, yes, pack.
And thrown into the mix are three bored, anxious, mommy-needing kids.
Gotta run.
Cautionary Warning:
If your husband likes Guitar Hero, and your children like to watch him playing said game, do not be surprised when your two angelic girls, a mere five and seven, beg for you to stop at a radio station when they hear a certain song emanating from the speakers of your stylin‘ minivan.
Oh Lord, there is something about hearing my happy girls singing “I wanna watch you bleed” in their cheery little voices that is almost too surreal for words.
I’m worried about Barack Obama.
I’m worried because I keep hearing about the angry crowds at McCain/Palin rallies who are yelling things like “traitor”, “terrorist” and, unbelievably, “off with his head” when Obama’s name is mentioned.
“Off with his head”?!?! Some people are really and truly nuts.
Really and truly nuts, and probably racist too.
There is no question in my mind that there is a scarily sizable chunk of the population that is appalled that a black man could become the next President. I heard an interview with one man who said that he “couldn’t live in a country that had Obama as President”.
Buh-bye, then. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
I am worried though. And, I’m disgusted that McCain and Palin have not come out stronger against people who chant such things at their rallies. Especially things like “off with his head” or “kill him”. It’s unconscionable.
If things keep going this route, I’m going to suggest that Obama contact Rome for some “divine” intervention.
Because, really, if something terrible were to happen to this man, I think another bit of my faith in humanity would go up in smoke.
