About Me

My photo
I am a wife and mother. I am Catholic. Over the past several years, I have found myself becoming a more "liberal" thinker. Not agreeing with many conservative policies, legislation, and decisions makes me neither "unAmerican" nor "unpatriotic". I find it pathetically laughable that individuals are placing the blame for the declining moral climate of our country on gay marriage. I believe that the No Child Left Behind Act is completely unrealistic and destructive to our already weakening public education system. I believe that education should be a privilege rather than a right. I believe in saying ma'am and sir. I believe in saying please, thank you, and you're welcome. I believe in tipping, and tipping well. I do not believe in using the Bible as a means to persecute and discriminate against others. I believe the pen is mightier than the sword. I believe that we should be teaching our youth the dangers of unprotected and unsafe sex, not shielding them from reality. I believe that brunettes have more fun! I believe that LSU in the greatest school in the world - Geaux Tigers :)

I need a clone!!!

I felt the need to post tonight, so here I am. However, this will probably be short and sweet (like me...yay), b/c I have to be up early tomorrow. I'm trying to be in two places at once this week since I have freshman orientation going on from 7:00 to 3:00 everyday AND choreography for my cheerleaders from 9:00 to 5:00. I am getting paid, however, for working orientation, so I won't complain too much :) It actually hasn't been at all bad; the only problem I'm having is being so overstimulated that I can't get to sleep at night. Around six or seven I'll be falling flat on my face exhausted, but by the time I get Sean bathed and in bed, I'm wired again. Does anyone else out there have this affliction?!?! Speaking of Sean, I'm afraid we're creating a monster. He loooooooooves being the center of attention! It's hilarious because neither Justin nor myself really craves, or even enjoys, the spotlight. He came with me to work for most of the day today. At one point, I was sitting in a circle with some of the cheerleaders and the choreographer discussing the routine. He climbed over me and proceeded to crawl smack dab to the middle of the circle where he proudly sat up and looked at each and every girl to make sure they saw how cute he was. He gets his special "flirty" smile on when he's checking out the chicks. He's also hilarious with the camera. The second you point a camera in his direction, he begins posing. My dad likes to do this when he's crying. It's the funniest thing. Sean will be pitching a total fit, but you pull out the camera and he lights up. Put the camera down and he's screaming again. I can't even pick up the cell phone to make a call b/c he thinks I'm taking a picture!!! Of course, he is incredibly photogenic (and I'm not the least bit biased), so who can blame us all for taking thousands of pics of him :) When we were in Charleston last weekend, Jessica took a picture of Sean and me that I really love. If I can figure out how to upload pics to this thing, I will do so tonight. I think I'll go attempt that right now. I'll be back eventually.
Yay!!! Here it is.. He's my mini-me in this picture! What a cutie pie.
