Awww… their Daddy caught a good video of her reading. :o) I am so proud of my baby girl. “The Cat in the Hat” is her favorite. And as you can see on both videos, her “shadow” Kristopher is right there trying to read with her. LOL. (ignore me in the background scolding a kid. hee hee)

A couple of times a month, we eat out. I will sometimes splurg, but I LOVE salad, especially a really good Greek salad. So, if the man of the house opts to go to the grease joint around the corner, most times I will order a Greek salad.
I hadn’t realized until he brought it up yesterday that those restaurants around us have no clue what Greek salad is. They continually ask “What type of dressing would you like?” And I say “Umm, it’s a Greek salad”. They still want to know. Thinking back now, I have also been asked that when ordering a Cesar Salad! Why did my salad come home last night with blue cheese dressing??
I am almost inclined to pay a visit up there and deliver a recipe. Anyone who calls themselves making a Greek salad should know what’s in it. It should NOT any form of creamy white dressing. It should be an oil and vinegar based dressing (recipes vary of course).
Here is a great recipe that I found while browsing:
From Janet is Hungry:
Greek Salad
adapted from my own recipe, by mistake
1 large head Romaine Lettuce
1/2 half red onion, sliced
1 English Cucumber, sliced
1 cup Kalamata olives
1 cup Greek Feta, crumbled
Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
freshly ground pepper
1. Place lettuce in a large bowl.
2. Mix dressing ingredients in a bottle and give it a good shake.
3. Toss lettuce with about 1/2 the dressing.
4. Place remaining salad ingredients on top of lettuce, and drizzle with some more dressing.

I don’t really know what to say. Either way someone is going to be offended I’m sure. But umm… what was she thinking?? What was that fertility doctor thinking?? I finally forced myself to read the full story yesterday. WOW! So her first 6 kids were all conceived via IVF. The octuplet’s were conceived via IVF. The doctors *claim* that they did not implant that many and they split. That IS highly possible. I wonder how many were really implanted.
I totally understand loving motherhood, pregnancy, loving your chidren, but again I say WOW!!! I have 4. I can barely afford them. This girl is living with her mother, unmarried and unemployed. Now, I will say that I am impressed by all the accounts that she is an excellent mother. AND I am really impressed by the fact that she has a degree in child and adolescent development from California State University and she was pursuing her Master’s. So even with that many kids she was trying to better herself. I think that is awesome. But, I also think if she wanted more kids she should have waited. She is still very young and there was plenty of time. Oh well, To each her own though right? What do you think?

A friend told me about this story today, but did not know all the details. I Googled, and as I started reading my heart just broke. Apparently this guys financial situation was so bad that he and his wife made a suicide pact and said “… why leave our children in someone’s else’s hands. . . .”
The couple had 5 children including 2 sets of twins. 5 year old twin girls, and 2 year old twins boys. Just like me. This hit WAY too close to home.
I say again and again to everyone out there no matter how bad things are, if you want to kill yourself, KILL YOURSELF. LEAVE THE CHILDREN OUT OF IT. DO NOT KILL THE CHILDREN!!!
Read the full, heartbreaking story here in the LA Times.

Last night before bed Kayla said to myself and Daddy, “So did you two look this way when you were teenagers? Or Daddy, was your big ole head a bit more square at the top then?”
He told me about a convo they had in the car. She said, “Today in school we learned about Dr. King. He fought for black people so they can do whatever they want like white people. So that means that now you, Alexis and Jayden can do whatever you want like me, Mommy and Kristopher.”
Kayla, Kris and I are light skinned, while Daddy, Alexis and Jayden are darker.

I keep track of my web stats. If you run a site, it is pretty interesting to see how some people find your site. Some of the search terms are pretty funny. I have found that people searching for that awesome Airtran commercial are brought to my site.
I posted that almost 2 years ago and it remains the most popular post! It certainly is a great commercial.

If you tried to leave me a comment recently, it might not have worked. I apologize! I did not discover the issue until this morning. It was due to an old comments plug-in that I no longer use.
So if you have something to say, please try again!
Thanks
