Back to my basics

First off, I can't believe I have been slacking like this with my blogging. Overtime here at work got cut WAY down, which sucks, but I have been getting home around 5ish, which is good. By the time Ruby is asleep, dinner is cooked, I check my account in Ogame, play a little Xbox to unwind, it's 1am and I have to start it all over again in a few hours. Plus, chores around the house have gotten harder. Both Em and I have stuff we do around the house, and we've been trading off watching Ruby. Which is not bad, but we used to just bang everything out. Now, can't vacuum because she just feel asleep, chit like that. So, I thought I would take a moment and jump on my blog this morning.

So, Gas prices have finally hit over $4.00. Now, that's for premium, but regular is just 20 cents cheaper. I can't believe things are getting this bad. As much as I am dying at the pump, I ashamed that a Democrat wants to ride the same wave as a Republican. Hilary wants to suspend the gas tax, this countries largest and deepest resource of money. That's nice that all of the RICH politicians can get by, but that doesn't mean our Government can. How would McCain & Hilary plan to offset the lack of money coming in to PAY FOR SHIT! We are paying for a war in Iraq and Afghanistan, trying to help the Burmese after that Typhoon, pay ALL of the government employee's, cops, firefighters, schools, medicaid/medicare, etc, etc, etc, etc...Where is the money going to come from? These two are clueless and it's nothing but a cheap trick to fool you into thinking, "I really care about you." At least Barack has the bawls to say, umm, no way is that even possible. And now they are talking about a Barack/Hilary ticket...fuck that. I hope Obama tells them to "stuff their sorry's in a sack." At the end of the work day I am going to go take some photos of the gas station signs on the corner here. I'm shocked that Bush has allowed his buddies to rape & pillage this country. But, then again our body of congress has been too lack luster to do shit, but they blame it on having a Republican president that apposes everything. YOU ARE THE MAJORITY...Fight him! Spineless I tell you, spineless. Oh, I encourage everyone to check out View-Askew if you already haven't. I've got some more commentary up there and there will be more in the future.

So mother's day weekend eh? This will be the first time I get to do something for the mother of my child. Until now I've only been doing stuff for my mother. There's just something that feels really special about this weekend. I know, it's just a Hallmark Holiday, but it's a good one. Emily has been doing such a great job with Ruby. I know how tough it has been on her. Lots of frustration, lack of sleep, mentality, dealing with my bullshit and crankiness. I don't have too much in-store for her, but it's going to be special none the less. Plus, I get to throw in two Grandmothers & a Great Grandmother this weekend too. I just feel so blessed to share all of this with some great & supportive people. Both Grandma's have been awesome and continue to be a great rock for us to fall back on. I just wish I could do more to show my appreciation.
