The Tiny Terror emerges ... and also, those liberal roots are still peeking out

Hello 2011. I've been away for a while. Doing the life thing. What's new?

Well, the little Minion turned 2. And he is officially Terrible. He is the screaming tantrum king right now. Literally. Right now as I type, he is across the room screaming his little head off about something. It's a good thing I don't drink. Cause I do consider it sometimes.

I know that he's two, and his little brain is still forming, and he just doesn't have the ability to communicate the way he wants right now. I get that. And I am sure it's frustrating. I try to be patient. But sometimes, when the screeching is making whales and dolphins beach themselves in Australia, I really want to wring his little neck. I am hoping that the screaming phase ends before the potty training phase starts. Those two together just might be the death of me.

The Minion is obsessed with a certain train and his friends. It's all he wants to play with and watch. Which is fine I guess. But man, do I get tired of having those goofy songs in my head. If he had his way, we'd have a 24/7 loop of the train movies going. And don't even get me started on the fit he throws if you deny him his fix. It's just crazy.

We are limping along financially. Each month when it seems like there is no way we will be able to keep our heads above water, some miracle occurs and we make it. I'm not sure how many of these miracles we have left in our corner, but I am grateful for each and every one.

The entire world basically pisses me off, so I try to ignore it as much as possible. Which is hard with a husband who loves to surf between CNN, HLN and Fox News. Here are the things that are pissing me off this week:

That former SNL chick saying that the gay kiss on Glee was ridiculous and that two guys kissing was a comedy skit not real life. Serioulsy? I get that some people don't like the whole concept of gay. And it's wrong or it's a choice those people make to be "that way" and it's a sin and God hates them ... whatever. But regardless. Gay people exist. Whether or not we as a people like it, there it is. They are there. And for someone to say that a same sex kiss is comedy and not reality in this day and age, well, it's like saying a black President is a comedy skit and not reality. It's disrespectful and basically invalidates an entire section of the population's feelings. Which makes me very angry. Then again, this chick is all kinds of crazy, and sort of an idiot.

They did a poll and almost two thirds of the Republicans and the Tea Party people were opposed to this whole no fly zone Libya strike thing. Yet in a separate poll asking if they approved of the no fly zone plan, they said they did. So, basically, they are for bombing the shit out of whoever needs it, they just don't like this particular president giving the order. Nothing he does will get their approval. Which is just entirely fucked up.

I am so tired of Charlie Sheen. Good for him, making the crazy work in his favor. I'd love to have a swig of his Tiger Blood cocktail and conquer the world too. But it's getting tiresome hearing about it EVERY SINGLE DAY. We get it. He gave CBS the big middle finger and CBS can't decide if they hate him or want him back. Enough. Give us a crawler update when somebody decides something new.

This is totally not even in the realm of world importance, but has anyone watched the E! show Holly's World? I like Holly, and I can even tolerate her little Hobbit hanger-on Angel. But what the fuck is wrong with that Laura chick? She cannot possibly be that stupid. Everything she says sounds like a really, REALLY bad actress reading off of a cue card - with improper pauses and stuff. It's just strange. I can't stop watching her, trying to figure out what her deal is. Then she said she was making her movie ... Zombie Strippers 2. Okay. Thanks. That totally cleared everything up for me right there. Thanks, Laura. I'll stick to the drama of Swamp People from now on. At least gators aren't trying to act.

I am sure there are more things that make me angry ... probably involving POF at least once a day. But now it's time for me to go check on dogs and toddler. It is WAY too quiet over there on the other side of the sofa.
