Big Brode Man
I'm a little behind here, but Brody had his 6 month check-up on Thursday. If you take out the shots (which I can't watch because it makes ME want to cry), I don't mind the doctor just because I like to see the growth progress. Here's an update on our big man (and I mean that literally). He is 20 lbs. 8 oz. (90th %) and 28 inches (85th %). By comparison, he weighs more now than Jenna did at 9 months! :) We love our big man and hope this size equals one good athlete!

The debate
Aaron and I are kind of political junkies. We love election time, so of course watching debates is high on our list. That being said, here are some of my thoughts...
First of all, although I do think it's about dang time a woman made a ticket, Sarah Palin is not my first pick. She sort of makes me crazy. I could stand her up until her sarcastic, snide attitude she presented at the Republican National Convention. My respect for her ended there.
I didn't think there was one clear cut winner last nite, but I enjoyed listening to Biden more. I felt that he was actually talking to me and wasn't reciting answers that some campaign aides wrote out for him. I just felt that Palin was too well rehearsed, does that make sense? If she would have winked, said something about Alaska and energy and talked about John McCain the maverick one more time, I was going to throw something at the t.v!!! I also don't appreciate her "I'm like every other mom and we're a middle class family bit." I was so happy when Biden talked about being a single dad and not knowing if your son was going to live. I thought, 'you go Joe!'
I don't understand how someone who's been in Washington for over 20 years is the "change guy." Am I missing something? I realize that Biden has been there a long time too, but he's not at the top of the ticket.
Anyway, we missed the last presidential debate, so we're looking forward to the next one.
My sister always says I'm a psycho when it comes to voting, but it IS really important!!

The Game
The Twins lost! I am sad and frustrated and disappointed! I despise the White Sox!! We could have lost to anyone but them. Oh well, as the Cub fans always say....there's always next year. :(

Love Mondays!
My big man!It's so weird that I don't work at the paper anymore. Mondays used to be my worst day of the weak and I dreaded them! Now, with me only working 4 days a week, I have Mondays off. It's nice to always have that 3 day weekend. The kids and I get some quality time together. We love to play--inside and out!
'oh my aching head' weekend
It was a pretty full weekend at the Burdorf household. Friday was homecoming and West Marshall upset the #6 ranked team to win. It was an awesome game! Afterwards, I had to go to the dance and help with the pictures. There are a lot of hooches out there and it makes me scared to let Jenna go to high school!
Saturday. Oh, Saturday. I blame everything that happened on my husband. Our golf course celebrated its 30th anniversary and there was a 2-couple alternate shot tournament. Aaron MADE me play and us and the couple we were playing with got paired up with two couples from HELL! They were golf nazis and didn't have any fun, were super serious, and didn't talk to us at all. Needless to say we drank a little (okay, a lot in my case) and it continued for a good portion of the day (and night). I was regretting it a lot that night....and again in the morning. It was a good time though! :)
Sunday, due to Jamie's physical state, was uneventful as all I could really do was lay around and inhale ibuprofen! Not a good day.

Newspaper this week
Alright everybody, Aaron and I had a new idea for a blog. Because the guy that took over MY paper is so ridiculously brutal we decided to share some of the assinine things that he writes. I'm sure Scott will enjoy these the most. You will see just how far my paper has fallen. Sit back, enjoy, and prepare to be dumber after you read these.
1. In a vb article: "It did not look good, until it did look good."
2. In a fb article: "On a night made for football, football was made."
3. In a fb article: "Good scrambler that quarterback. Got a little of those Manning boys in him." (Are you kidding me that he's comparing a 2A QB to a NFL MVP?)
4. In a fb article: "Gone. Untouched. Seven-oh yards. It's TDland."
And finally, the big finale...............
5. In a vb article: "WM improved as the night turned nightier." (I couldn't make this stuff up!!)
More next week! :)
