Just sing the damn song!!!!!

If anyone saw the Cowboys/Eagles game last night and was punished enough to catch the National Anthem, please tell me why they can't just sing the damn song!!!!! Why do these performers (not all but a lot of them) insist on adding all these runs - drawing out a 2 syllable word in a song to like 8 or 50 syllables? The only person that has done this successfully (albeit still annoying) is Christina Aguilera. Mariah Carey does this too and it grates my nerves. This poor little girl who thought that's what singers are supposed to do, failed miserably while singing at the game last night. She did so bad, I was cringing, feeling sorry for her, and the fans booed her off the field. = ( I wish performers would just sing the song the way it was supposed be sung and be done with it. Anyway, it felt bad for the chick, but maybe it taught her something and she'll just stick to the script next time.

Being a good spouse - Tip #2

For all you guys out there. Just a little tip - if you want to be a good spouse to your wonderful wife who has recently carried around for 9 (almost 10) months then given birth to your child - DO NOT blame your wife's bad mood on post partum depression and think you're going to get away with it! Your wife is probably in a bad mood because she's exhausted from working a full time job, taking care of a new house, and caring for a newborn baby. Not to mention you're probably driving her crazy........Sorry, had to rant and vent a little bit. Husbands, ugh!!!!
MrGolightly and I have had our share of troubles lately especially with the stress of a new baby, a new house, and all the responsibility (mainly financial) that comes with both. Throw in all those Murphys that move into your spare bedroom (that's what my Dad says about Murphy's law - if you have a spare bedroom, Murphy's gonna move right in) and life's been real tense recently. Now I must admit that I have been extra moody lately but it has nothing to do with the baby, the house, or post partum depression or even PMS for that matter - it all has to do with MrGolightly. Of course that option would never cross his mind. To him:
Bitchy wife + just had a baby= PPD. Just a thought men, if your wife is bitchy would it kill you to try to care for her and maybe get to the bottom of it?

Being a good spouse - Tip #1

Want to be a good spouse? Just a tip - if you are at home especially with children and especially if those children are newborn babies, if your spouse is out of the house at work, shopping, fulfilling community service requirements, or whataver - ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE! You know how your Mom used to say, "I didn't know where you were, you could be dead in a ditch somewhere..." Well if I was dead in a ditch somewhere and I'm needed to call you for some help, it would be nice if you could answer the phone. If I'm not dead in a ditch somewhere, I may just be calling to check to see how things are going. You are afterall, currently at home in the care, custody, and control of my first born child who, if you haven't noticed, I'm really fond of and have a great concern for. So to summarize - want to be a good spouse - just answer the phone if your significant other calls you. And if you can't answer right away, give 'em a call back soon as you can. Thanks.

BabyGolightly's new measurements

BabyGolightly had his 4 month doctor appointment yesterday. It was originally scheduled at 9:30am but on the way to the office driving MrGolightly's stupid truck, that damn thing broke down in the middle of a really busy intersection. Left me and BabyGolightly on the side of the road until two nice gentlemen came by and helped us get on our way. We got the truck back home and went later to the doctor. All in all it was a pretty crappy day and I loathe that stupid stupid truck. Anyway - BabyGolightly is weighing in at 19lb 2oz and is 27.5 inches long. He's in the 97th percentile for both height and weight and is all over healthy. Once again, doctor confirmed we've got a giant on our hands.

4th of July BBQ, so excited!!!!

Our 4th of July BBQ is next weekend, I'm so excited!!!! Since we've been in our new house, I love having people over. Half because it's just fun - half because I love to show off our house. I'm still completely in love with it. Even the 3 flights of stairs haven't gotten on my nerves yet.

Fireworks are set for Thursday night over the bay and I can't wait for that either. This will be BabyGolightly's first 4th of July. I got him a cute little outfit and everything. One irky thing though is hardly nobody has RSVP'd to our invite. Lots of people have viewed the online invitation but noone except 3 guests have responded. Am I the only one that gets totally peeved by this? As soon as I get an invite, I figure out if I can make it and respond. How hard is that? Ack - anyway just a little vent. I don't know if we're only going to have 8 people or 80 but we'll see....
