Before 8am

I have tried to explain to Mickayla that time before 8am doesn't exist. And yet somehow a little baby comes into my room, poking me and screaming "MOOOOOOOOM" at 7:15 this morning. I grab her and pull her into bed and try and get her back to sleep... she pretends to be asleep for a min and I get some snuggles, but no its not gonna happen, shes up and wants to play. She asks where DaDa is, and I tell her hes at work, and shes not happy. I think she got used to him being there in the mornings on Sat and Sun. So we get up, I go to make coffee and she goes to find Pandora. And our morning starts.... a little early, but thats okay.

Mickayla is a monkey

Okay, so she has her own monkey themed bathroom, she can climb out of her pack n play, and she loves bananas... It was just a matter of time before it happened:

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweat-shirt Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, 'What setting do I use on the washing machine?'
'It depends,' I replied. 'What does it say on your shirt?'
He yelled back, ' University of Oklahoma '

And they say blondes are dumb...

PlayRoom

This is what the playroom looked like last week. We have since updated it a bit. It was the dinning room, and now home to all of Boo's toys and fish and books!

Alive and kickin... er at least alive

LOL we moved so I have been without internet for awhile, sorry all!

We found out last-last Sunday the house we wanted was availible and we moved in the next day and spent last-last week moving and unpacking. Then my mom came to stay and lucky for me because I messed up my knee with the moving.

My camera is broken, so when I find the cable that connects my phone with my laptop Ill upload some photos of Mickayla and her new 'big girl' room! We changed her bed to a day bed and she loves it! Shes also wearing pull-ups and learning to use the potty now!

We finally got a new car, a 4 door! We were using a 2 door, and since Kaylee rear faces its hard but we knew it was worth it for her saftey! So now we have a 4 door new Malibu and its got tons of space for MAtt (hes 6'2) and trunk space for hauling stuff to visit Mom.



So now we are settling in and life is good. We have a 4bdrm house and 4door car, lol, its been a busy 2 weeks!

We are MOVING!

So anyone free this weekend will be given pizza and beer in exchange for helping load the stuff from the garage into a U-haul and unload it into the new garage. Easy enough, most stuff is packed in boxes/tubbies already!

We are moving into a HUGE house with tons of space for Kaylee to run and play, we are very excited! The difference in space will be astronomical compared to what we have now.

So all Halloween/Xmas/Birthday parties will be at my house for the rest of the year!!! I haven't had the space to throw any big parties and we all remember how nice they were!!

Merck Suspends Lobbying For HPV Vaccine

TRENTON, N.J. -- Merck & Co. is immediately suspending its lobbying campaign to persuade state legislatures to mandate that adolescent girls get the company's new vaccine against cervical cancer as a requirement for school attendance, the company said late Tuesday.


The drugmaker had been criticized by parents and doctors' groups for quietly funding the campaign via a third party to require 11- and 12-year-old girls get the three-dose vaccine in order to attend school.


Some had objected because the vaccine protects against a sexually transmitted disease, human papilloma virus, which causes cervical cancer. Vaccines mandated for school attendance usually are for diseases easily spread through casual contact.


"Our goal is about cervical cancer prevention and we want to reach as many females as possible with Gardasil," Dr. Richard M. Haupt, Merck's medical director for vaccines, told The Associated Press.


"We're concerned that our role in supporting school requirements is a distraction from that goal, and as such have suspended our lobbying efforts," Haupt said, adding the company will continue providing information about the vaccine if requested by government officials.


Merck launched Gardasil, the first vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, in June.


Sales totaled $255 million through the end of 2006, according to Merck.


Last month, The Associated Press reported that Merck was channeling money for its state-mandate campaign through Women in Government, an advocacy group made up of female state legislators across the country.


Conservative groups opposed the campaign, saying it would encourage premarital sex, and parents' rights groups said it interfered with their control over their children.


Even two of the prominent medical groups that supported broad use of the vaccine, the American Academy of Pediatricians and the American Academy of Family Practitioners, questioned Merck's timing, Haupt said Tuesday.


"They, along with some other folks in the public health community, believe there needs to be more time," he said, to ensure government funding for the vaccine for uninsured girls is in place and that families and government officials have enough information about it.


Legislatures in roughly 20 states have introduced measures that would mandate girls have the vaccine to attend school, but none has passed so far. However, Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Feb. 2 issued an executive order requiring that schoolgirls get the vaccinations, triggering protests from lawmakers in that state.


The vaccine also is controversial because it is the most expensive ever -- $360 for the three doses required over a six-month stretch. Because of that cost and what pediatricians and gynecologists say is in adequate reimbursement by insurers, many are choosing not to stock the vaccine or requiring surcharges to administer it, adding to parents' difficulties.


Merck shares were down in after-hours trading on the New York Stock Exchange, falling 35 cents to $44.15, after rising 22 cents in regular trading to close at $44.50.

What DOES a VP do?

Well I think you should figure it out before you run for the VP of the USA...



Seriously people are considering electing a soccer mom who is the gov. of a state with less people than some cities in CA, NY and TX? It has 670,053 people and San Jose has 974,000, so lets elect the mayor of San Jose to be VP? Oh, and lets not forget her 'national security' experience...



Their Agenda Against Women

• McCain voted against The Equal Pay Bill for
  Women. He said women 'need education and
  training' instead.
  

• Palin wants to outlaw abortion in every form,
  including for victims of rape or incest.
  

• McCain voted against the family and medical
  leave act, making it harder for women and men
  to take time from work to care for loved ones.
  

• Palin cut special needs funding in Alaska by
  62% yet claims to be a special needs advocate.
  

• Palin wants to teach creationism in the schools,
  making it harder for our teachers to compete
  with up-and-coming nations in science education.
  

• McCain opposed spending to prevent
  unintended and teen pregnancies.
  

• Palin does not believe that humans contribute to
  global warming and she wants to take the polar
  bear off of the endangered species list so she
  can drill for oil in Alaska.
  

• McCain opposed legislation requiring that
  abstinence-only programs be medically accurate
  and scientifically based.
  

• McCain's health care plan will require that
  benefits be taxed, the first time this would ever
  happen in America's history. This will make it
  next to impossible to pay high medical bills with
  insurance benefits.

Okay people, THINK about what your doing when you vote. They picked Palin because shes a WOMAN to gain the Hilary supporters, shes the last person we want as president!!

LOL McCain’s wandering eyes

Boo shall be Punky Brewster!

Answer from the internet on how to dress like Punky!
"You could wear your hair up in pigtails, a bright blue or yellow t-shirt with a bright red or purple vest over it, ripped jeans with one cuff rolled up to just below your knee and the other side all the way down, bandana tied around your knee, striped socks, and 2 different funky colored sneakers!"

Educate before you vaccinate!!

A single vaccine given to a 6 pound newborn is the equivalent of giving an 180 lb. adult 30 vaccines in one day." Dr. Boyd Haley

From the CDC website,
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/additives.htm

What You Should Know

• Millions of doses of vaccines are administered to children in this country each year. Ensuring that those vaccines are potent, sterile, and safe requires the addition of minute amounts of chemical additives.
• Chemicals are added to vaccines to inactivate a virus or bacteria and stabilize the vaccine, helping to preserve the vaccine and prevent it from losing its potency over time. One such chemical is called an excipient is an inactive substance used as a carrier for the active ingredients found in medication.
• The amount of chemical additives found in vaccines is very small and may not be enough to cause a serious allergic response.
• In July 1999, the Federal government asked vaccine manufacturers to work towards eliminating or reducing the use of thimerosal, a preservative which contains small amounts of mercury, in any products currently available on the market. Today, all routinely recommended pediatric vaccines manufactured for the U.S. market contain no thimerosal or only trace amounts.

Educate before you vaccinate!!

"Today, all of the major neurological diseases including autism, Alzheimer's disease, ALS, MS and Parkinson's do not have a known etiology. They represent the major failure of today's research institutions. They are modern man diseases and do not seem to be directly genetically inherited but to be caused by some unidentified, toxicant exposure. All attempts to look at heavy metal exposures, especially mercury exposure, as being involved in the etiology or exacerbation of these diseases is rigorously fought against by certain components of our government regulatory agencies in spite of both biological and epidemiological research implicating mercury as a major suspect for involvement."

Who is Sarah Palin?

Yesterday was John McCain's 72nd birthday. If elected, he'd be the oldest president ever inaugurated. And after months of slamming Barack Obama for "inexperience," here's who John McCain has chosen to be one heartbeat away from the presidency: a right-wing religious conservative with no foreign policy experience, who until recently was mayor of a town of 9,000 people.

Huh?

Who is Sarah Palin? Here's some basic background:

• She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.¹
  
• Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.²
  
• She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. ³
  
• Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.⁴
  
• She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.⁵
  
• She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.⁶
• How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.⁷

This is information the American people need to see. Please take a moment to forward this email to your friends and family.

We also asked Alaska MoveOn members what the rest of us should know about their governor. The response was striking. Here's a sample:

She is really just a mayor from a small town outside Anchorage who has been a governor for only 1.5 years, and has ZERO national and international experience. I shudder to think that she could be the person taking that 3AM call on the White House hotline, and the one who could potentially be charged with leading the US in the volatile international scene that exists today. —Rose M., Fairbanks, AK

She is VERY, VERY conservative, and far from perfect. She's a hunter and fisherwoman, but votes against the environment again and again. She ran on ethics reform, but is currently under investigation for several charges involving hiring and firing of state officials. She has NO experience beyond Alaska. —Christine B., Denali Park, AK

As an Alaskan and a feminist, I am beyond words at this announcement. Palin is not a feminist, and she is not the reformer she claims to be. —Karen L., Anchorage, AK

Alaskans, collectively, are just as stunned as the rest of the nation. She is doing well running our State, but is totally inexperienced on the national level, and very much unequipped to run the nation, if it came to that. She is as far right as one can get, which has already been communicated on the news. In our office of thirty employees (dems, republicans, and nonpartisans), not one person feels she is ready for the V.P. position.—Sherry C., Anchorage, AK

She's vehemently anti-choice and doesn't care about protecting our natural resources, even though she has worked as a fisherman. McCain chose her to pick up the Hillary voters, but Palin is no Hillary. —Marina L., Juneau, AK

I think she's far too inexperienced to be in this position. I'm all for a woman in the White House, but not one who hasn't done anything to deserve it. There are far many other women who have worked their way up and have much more experience that would have been better choices. This is a patronizing decision on John McCain's part- and insulting to females everywhere that he would assume he'll get our vote by putting "A Woman" in that position.—Jennifer M., Anchorage, AK

So Governor Palin is a staunch anti-choice religious conservative. She's a global warming denier who shares John McCain's commitment to Big Oil. And she's dramatically inexperienced.

In picking Sarah Palin, John McCain has made the religious right very happy. And he's made a very dangerous decision for our country.

In the next few days, many Americans will be wondering what McCain's vice-presidential choice means. Please pass this information along to your friends and family.

Thanks for all you do.
