Jackson be'd here

That's my new favorite word. After Jackson had spent the night in the living room with Erika he was watching TV with me in my bedroom and I asked him if they had fixed the couch in the living room. "It already be'd a bed", he told me, "and we made it into a couch."

It was so fun to have him here for 3 days in a row. I got to see most of his moods and accomplishments. Some days he eats good, some days not so much. Some nights he sleeps good, some nights not so much. Sometimes he's very very cute, sometimes--- No, he's always very very cute.

He recited Bah Bah Black Sheep while we were in the car and Erika said "Do Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". He said "I don't know how to talk that one, just to sing it."
He told Erika to talk it for him, and she did.

Reality imitating reality TV

When I woke up this morning the TV was on and they were reporting the news. Of course the news was all about the UN passing a resolution for cease fire in the middle east and the fact that al quieda (sp)plans to blow us all up and I had the weird feeling that we are all living in the big brother house.

The UN is HOH (Janelle at her best)and doesn't have a clue. Hezbullah and Al Quieda are Will and Boogie (Chill Town) and are laughing it up in the diary room. Israel is Danielle, give her some power and she can straighten this out but as she said in her isolation room "I'm playing with idiots." I can just see Israel saying that.

Kaysar is the Iraqi and Lebanese everyman, feeling that if he doesn't antagonize Chill Town they might be his friend and then wondering why he's having to evacuate.

Coping

Life is getting hard and I am barely coping. You young people think it is difficult to raise kids, try coping with these problems.

There is the Rodger's Masters men's tournament in Toronto, the Morgan-Chase women's tournament in LA, and the Little League World Series. And this is all in prime time. Even if I tape all my reality shows and everything I can't watch in real time (and I have three VCRs) there are just not enough hours in a day to watch everything. My watching is getting sloppy. I fast forward more than I should and I am going to MISS something.

Thank God some of my judge shows are on reruns and I can watch other judges on other channels. Except that now I like those judges too and when they all start new seasons I'm going to have to tape them too.
