Minority Rights

I was going to make a comment on http://gimmeapieceourmind.blogspot.com/2008/11/descrimination-or-persecution-and-to.htm but it got to long so here's my two cents worth. To many times have I had this conversation with people. I think it's rude and arrogant of minorities to claim certain rights and privilages for that reason alone. Living in Toronto, we are overrun with nothing but minorites to the point where the word shouldn't exist. I am about as majority at it gets and yet I am more often than not the only white person at my work. That being said I am reminded of a time at work when a manager would leave twice in a shift to "pray" to Allah. This was part of his religion. I asked the boss what would happen if I went of line to pray and was just laughed at like I told a joke. It's sad what our world has come to in regards to peoples rights. Doug said that the squeky wheel gets the grease, but I think this only happens when that wheel is taken seriously.

I love you Josh!

She finally fell asleep....to Josh Groban. Thank you Josh for putting her to sleep. What can I say...she's got good taste.

Lord give me Strength

This will be quick cause that's all I have.
After a very looooonnnng week, I am in the house with my wonderful daughter.
I say wonderful with an eye twitch since she's been a leach since nine.
That's right...she's been awake for 10hrs straight.
Everytime I've put her down she's screamed...not cried..bloody murder.
I know she's not ill or in pain since everytime I pick her up she smiles and coos.
It's now seven and she's in her crib fussing...i think not screaming cause she's exhausted.
I'm going to have a shower to drowned out the cries.
To anyone who thinks this is a terrible thing....i've only had a total of fifty minutes (not consecutive) without a baby. In that time I managed to eat a bowl of cereal, bathroom, and change the garbage all to the soothing lullaby of a crying baby.
To those who say take a break and let her cry.....well tell my headache that while your at it.
This blog is being written to that same sweet sound.
Any and all prayers are accepted.

Baby love, my baby love...

Dan and I had the best night ever with Ariana last night.
He came home around 4:30 last night and started making dinner. I had been with a very grumpy girl all day which was not made easier with me being sick. By the time Dan got home I was exhausted and sore and all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and sleep.
We ate dinner and Ariana still had an hour before bed time. I put her on my lap facing me and she started cooing and smiling. I was pulling her towards me a kissing her then lying her back again. She seemed to love this game. I treated her coos to kisses which made her smile and coo all that more. Dan joined in and we played for about half an hour till she got tired and bored.
That made my day worth it.
Thank you Lord for my daughter. I was so happy to see her happy.
