Ringtones make me giggle..

So here I sit, minding my own business, trying to look busy at work and then...
"Hey there Delilah, what's it like in New York City. I'm a thousand miles away..." I am sure you know the song. The radio killed it over the past 6 months so that now I just roll my eyes when I hear it.

The humor here is the owner of the phone with this ringtone...maybe 40-45 ish...desperately trying to look cool by knowing the Plain White T's. If only he knew...

Of course, I am not really one to give pointers on how to look cool. I find I rarely know the newest bands, groups, singers...whatever the kids are calling them these days. I don't watch the garbage on MTV or VHI...frankly, I don't know how people sit through it. Maybe for the same reasons my hubby can still be found watching a Springer episode...it's all about the trainwreck. And I definitely don't have the latest rage in clothes or accessories.

I must confess I did download The Office theme song as my ringtone a while back. Then I traded phones with my hubby so now it is his ringtone. I just have the regular old, sounds like a phone ringtone. How boring am I? It just seems so hard to commit to a song.

I don't want some young kid in my office make fun of me on his blog because my ringtone isn't cool. Come to think of it...is saying "cool" even cool anymore.....

I feel old.

Bishop is 4 months old

I can hardly believe Bishop is 4 months old. What an amazing 4 months!

I never imagined all the emotion I would experience. I always thought I was a relatively emotional person. I have cried at my fair share of commercials. I get teary at PetSmart when they have the dogs to adopt. But, nothing compared to the tears I shed now. Tears of pride, fear, anger and above all, love! It overflows.

And, that is just in 4 months. I can only imagine what a year, 10 years, 18, 32 years will bring.

I never knew my heart could be so full and I could be so blessed.

Horrified - PLEASE take action

Everyone knows I do not send out blanket emails or send a lot of forwards so I hope that if you get an email from me on this topic you will respond.

I started to watch Oprah's show from Monday last night. I think I made it through about 6 or 7 minutes before I had to turn it off. However, the message was not lost. In fact, I am horrified by what I saw and I feel compelled to take action.

If you missed the show, Oprah detailed an evil and sickening activity taking place in our country and around the world. The sexual exploitation of children on the internet. If you would like more details, please visit the website. I cannot stomach typing out what I saw and heard. I feel forever scarred and even now feel tears coming to my eyes.

My purpose in this post is to ask you...beg you to contact your senator about the Protect Our Children Act / Senate Bill 1738. Here is the link from Oprah's website to learn how and more about the act. It is easy and takes only a few minutes to write your senator.

I believe it is of vital importance.

Mondays are hard

Yes...I know, it is actually Tuesday. But since we were off work yesterday for Labor Day, it feels like Monday.

They are hard because I want to be with Bishop. I want to make sure he is getting good naps. I want to make sure his sniffles are being addressed and he isn't running a fever...he had a cough yesterday and this morning. I want to hold him.

I am making myself all upset typing this....

I know they are taking care of him and if he were sick that they would call. But, I can't help it.

Working moms...tell me it gets better....
