It's Mountain Dewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I saw this video and thought it was funny (and a better version of the original song Soulja Boi) and showed it to Brittanie. Well she loved it too so we have been singing this around the house and driving Tom nuts. It is so fun! hehehe

So for the guys that work with Tom, if you want to drive him nuts, when you see him with a Mountain Dew just start singing "It's Mountain DEWWWWWW." LOL I love annoying him. It is so fun. hehehe

Here's the video:

Twas the month before Christmas

When all through our land,

Not a Christian was praying

Nor taking a stand.

Why the Politically Correct Police had taken away,

The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools not to sing,

About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.

It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say

December 25th is just a 'Holiday'.

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit

Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod

Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging their trees upside down

At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears

You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty

Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!

At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter

To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith

Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace.

The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded

The reason for the season, stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'

Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.

Choose your words carefully, choose what you say

Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!

Katie's vocabulary

I don't chose what Katie watches on TV, although we don't allow Dora the Explorer and Diego because I don't want her to start speaking Spanish. But Katie picks all educational shows. She LOVES to learn.

Yesterday she came to me and asked me what I had just said to her because she missed it because "I was engrossed in my game." I said "engrossed?" She said, "Yes. It means that I couldn't concentrate on anything else." WOW! She's barely 5 and using big words like that...and knows what they mean even! I asked her where she learned that word and she said it was a show called Pinky Dinky Doo. I love that she has such a strong desire to learn. She also wants to be able to write better. She comes home everyday and practices her writing all afternoon on her own. I hope she keeps this up. If she does, the sky is the limit....calling Dr. Sightler! Then again she is Tom's child and loves to argue....may be a lawyer! hehehe

New pictures of Brittanie

I don't know why teenagers have a need to take pictures of themselves with their cell phones but Brittanie is no exception. Here are some pictures that she took and emailed to me.
(above) This is Brittanie with her friend, Cory.This was taken before a rifle team competition. She gets mad at me because when she takes pictures with her two fingers up from inside the bathroom, I always add the caption "She needs to go #2!!" LOLMagoooooo!

Are these two (above and below) Tom faces or what??

Yep, she's a Sightler!

Brittanie's senior class has been voting for senior superlatives and she found out that she had votes for several categories. But the category that was the funniest to me...and she had over 100 votes (out of 146 votes total) was "Most likely to be late for graduation." I couldn't help but laugh. She's definitely a Sightler. We are all born late and will be late for our own funerals.

Give me a break!

I have always hated political correctness and the latest news just strengthens my resolve to never be politically correct. Australia is telling Santas not to say "Ho Ho Ho" from now on because it is derogatory to women. I kid you not. Check out the pages Google news found on it.

Tom and I were raised not to believe in Santa and were taught the real meaning of Christmas, which is Jesus' birth. We raised our girls the same way. That is a personal preference of ours and we would never push our views on anyone. But to me, this isn't about whether Santa should be taught or not. This is about political correctness going too far. It is just ridiculous. It won't be long before the American Nazis (the ACLU) join those Australian nut jobs and try to do the same thing here. We need to stand up and tell the ACLU and any other band of morons who try to censor us to mind their own business.

Kids don't want to hear Santa saying "ha ha ha." We have lived for decades with "ho ho ho" (in Louisiana it is "Heaux Heaux Heaux") and we are all still alive. Furthermore, you would have to be a ho to be offended by that term. It is just insane.

DOWN WITH THE ACLU!!!

Daddy made her that way!

Last night after Katie got out of the tub, she was in the mood to beat up Tom. He has always made our girls rough and tumble but Brittanie rarely initiated it growing up. Katie almost always initiates the fights. Last night, after barely drying off after her bath (as you can tell in the pictures....she won't let us dry her off anymore because now that she is 5, she is officially a "big girl." hehehe), she walked up to Tom, who was sitting in his recliner and just jumped at him and started beating him up. He loves that. Who needs boys when you have girls who are just as tough?This is a bite. (above) Both of our girls like to bite. They get that from Tom. As a baby, he bit his aunt clean through her bottom lip while acting like he was going to give her a kiss. Then when he was Katie's age, he bit a little French boy's finger clear to the bone. The poor kid had to get stitches! But he learned never to take a toy from Tom! lol

Glad Monday is over!!!

Yesterday, I got up at 4am ready to type. I had it planned that I was going to get 3 dictations done yesterday. Well I got within an hour of finishing the first one and had to stop and get Katie ready for school. She was whining and crying, which is not something she usually does. I thought she felt warm but Tom said no. Well after she was totally dressed, instead of grabbing her Leapster like she normally does, she got right up against me and just sat there and drank some Propel. Well the Propel hadn't hit her stomach good when it was back up...on me, Katie, and the floor. She told me she felt better but I was keeping her home anyway. I sent her to brush her teeth and she drank water from the tap and that came up. Between 7:30 and 9:30, she puked 4 times. After the last time, she wanted me to hold her. At that point, typing is no longer important. So I laid down with her and took a nap with her in my arms. She woke up feeling better and wanting to eat but I made her take it slow because I figured it was just the Phenergan suppository making her stomach ok. So I only let her eat a couple of crackers and some Propel throughout the day. No more pukey!

Today she is back to normal and feeling great. She and Tom raced to his truck, like they normally do, and he let her win. She turned around and told him "Ha Ha I win! I'm a winner and you're a LOSER!" Yep she is definitely back to normal today. Now we just have to hope that none of us catch what she had. It didn't last long but I don't want it anyway!

I finally got the last hour of that dictation done around 4pm. I pulled the reports from the next day to get that dictation started when Brittanie came home crying. Her ex had done something to upset her. Well after hearing the story, I wasn't happy with him either. But Hank took Brittanie to see Saw 4 at the 5:30 show. So I started cooking after she left. Then her ex showed up at the house. He had a permission slip for a rifle team competition today near Aiken. He had called Brittanie and she told him she wasn't home so he asked if I was home. She told him not to bring it by. But he didn't listen. I opened the door and he was standing there with that permission slip in his hand. I told him to come in and have a seat. Then I told him exactly what I thought about his behavior and how he hurt Brittanie. I let him have it for 15 minutes. He said he didn't realize. Yeah ok. He knew exactly how Brittanie would react and he was trying to get a reaction out of her. He got a reaction alright. She left rifle team practice early and then I gave him a reaction from a mom's point of view. I'm not done either. I have a call in to 1SG to discuss it as well. That boy was in our family for over a year. He should know I won't tolerate someone hurting my girls.

I'm just glad Monday is over and am looking forward to having a productive day.

By the way, my in laws came over Saturday and picked Katie up and took her to McDonald's for lunch and let her eat and play there. Then they went to Chuck E. Cheese's to play on the stuff there. Then they took her to Toys R Us and let her pick out a toy. Unfortunately she picked out the most annoying toy in the store, second only to a talking bird that she wanted at first. But she loves the toy. It is a Dalmatian on roller skates that barks and if you don't play with him for 10 seconds, he lays down and wimpers till you pet his head. It is sound activated so he continues to skate and make noise at every sound. She loves it but we have restricted it to the playroom with the door closed. LOL But she had a great day with Grandma and Grandpa. We really appreciate them coming all the way down here to make her birthday special and spend time one on one with them. She loves them and don't get to see them very often. So every time spent with them is precious!

Fire Spurrier and CUT Mitchell

Spurrier took Smelley out when he wasn't doing bad but in the game tonight against Arkansas, Mitchell is doing what he does best....OVER THROWING his receivers. Cory Boyd had the same reaction I did to about the 100th over throw. Steve Spurrier is too stupid to coach for us anymore. He obviously doesn't have a clue how to coach quarterbacks or how to evaluate what a good quarterback is. Mitchell stinks BIG TIME! His butt should never be allowed off the bench.

Put Mitchell on the bench and let a real quarterback lead the Gamecocks!!! Chris Smelley is a quarterback we could be proud of. He is good on and off the field. He is a business major and on the Dean's List every semester. He is also a Christian. Quite a contrast to Mitchell who isn't a good player, dumb as a rock (proven by his arrest record), and has questionable (if any) morals...again proven by his arrest record.

Too funny!

A picture is worth 1000 words!

I had heard about this but a picture is definitely worth 1000 words! God save us!!!

Senator Barack Obama, Governor Bill Richardson, Senator Hillary Clinton and Ruth Harkin stand during the national anthem.
Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name)......the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE.....how can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief????

I know everyone is sick of Bush's decisions but electing a democratic president is NOT the answer. Between Obama and Hilary, there is NO good choice for president!

By the way, for the sceptics out there, I checked this out on Snopes.

Happy Birthday Katie B!!

Yesterday, Katie celebrated her 5th birthday. Time sure flies! I can't believe she is already 5 years old! To start her birthday off, we sent cupcakes to school for both K4 classes to celebrate her birthday with her. I was going to make them but Brittanie said she would make them for me if I invited Hank, the guy she has been seeing, to celebrate with us. Deal! They came out great!Last night, I made lasagna and garlic bread because Katie loves lasagna. She was too excited to even eat it! She was so happy and hyper that she could barely open her gifts! Tom had to calm her down so she could open the gifts. Katie has been begging for a Gameboy since I got Taylor and Lyndsie a Gameboy and got Brittanie a Nintendo DS for Christmas. So we bought her the 5-year-old version of a Gameboy....the Leapster L-Max. We also bought the recharging system and a Disney Cars game to go with it. The L-Max is like the Leapster but better because you can also hook the L-Max to the TV. Well she was in heaven last night. The L-Max was glued to her hands till she went to bed. She blew out the candles on her cake and then ran back to the L-Max. The picture shows her excitement.We didn't have a big party for her this year. It was just the little celebration at the house last night with the 4 of us and Hank. But she still had a great birthday. Her teacher made her feel special....as did her wonderful K3 teacher. Tammie sent her the baby pony and some little ponies. Jonathan (my wonderful godson) and Sarah (his wife) sent her a very soft Winnie the Pooh all the way from Germany! Brittanie thought the packing was cool. It was vacuum packed. Katie loved Pooh because it was so soft and she loves soft things.

But the best is yet to come! Tom's parents are coming down Saturday and taking her to Chuck E. Cheese's and then to Toys R Us to pick out a toy that she wants. Grandma and Grandpa have become synonymous with Chuck E. Cheese. That's going to be a great memory she has of them when she gets older because we don't take her there. That's a special thing she does with them and she LOVES it!!

She was just adorable playing that L-Max last night. She would run into the living room and tell us how great she is doing with the game and literally squeal with delight as she was telling what she was doing in the game. It is a great learning tool. Katie has always loved to learn and this is just going to encourage that. It has phonics and greater than/less than on the Cars game. Plus there are 3 games built into the game console itself that are educational. This was the best toy we ever bought her!

By the way, the L-Max told her to put her name in the console and brought up the alphabet for her to use the pen to type it in. She typed "K T B" I loved that! That's what we call her....Katie B. But I like her spelling of it. Too cute!

Katie's costume

Brittanie decided to try Katie's Halloween costume on her today. Katie is going as Princess Jasmine from Alladin. She was very excited about it....until she tried the costume on. After it was on, she pointed to her bare belly and said "Look at this! I need to wear something over this!" and immediately crossed her arms over her belly. We tried explaining to her that it is supposed to be that way but she was NOT happy at all. I tried getting a picture of her but she kept putting her pony over her belly and when I made her drop the pony, she crossed her arms over her stomach and made a very unhappy face. It was hilarious! She is definitely a very modest child. I told her she can hold the candy bag in front of her belly on Halloween so nobody will see it. Check out this picture.

Say it with me....GATORADE!!

The leg cramps were all over the place tonight in the USC vs Tennessee game. These guys need to drink Gatorade all week and be good and hydrated for the games or they will continue to cramp like this. You can't play this hard and think a couple of Gatorades once the game starts will help. It won't!

Our offensive line stunk it up the first half. They woke up the 2nd half but the damage was done. We lost by 3 in overtime. I don't care how great announcers think Blake Mitchell is or how many good plays he made in this game, he stinks and he shouldn't be in that uniform much less on the field. He is a disgrace to the Gamecocks and always has been since the day he blew into Columbia. He is the overthrow king. But because we came back alive the second half, I'm sure Spurrier is going to start Mitchell next week. I'm ready for the season to be over so we never have to look at Mitchell again. He will be gone and working at Burger King or wherever losers go.I don't agree with Coach Spurrier's decision to swap quarterbacks in and out! Chris Smelley is a MUCH better quarterback than Mitchell ever dreamed of being. The problem in the first half was not because of Smelley. Our offensive line stunk it up. Cory Boyd and McKinley were the only ones, besides Smelley, playing offense in the first half. You can't blame Smelley for that. Smelley is a decent guy and a good player. He deserves to be on the field not riding the pine like Mitchell should be!

She's back on Top!!

Swansea went to the JROTC competition at Airport High today and it was a good day for our cadets. They brought home 4 trophies in rifle team. Brittanie's shooting has been down this year because she doesn't shoot well when she is happy. Go figure! She has to be stressed out to shoot well. Well this week, she has been so worried about if she will get into USC and how her weight is going to affect her ROTC scholarship. All that stress got her shooting up tremendously and she got top shooter over everyone today! She was shooting perfect 10's one after the other after the other!!! 1SG was so happy! He said "Sightler is back!!" lol

Gay day?

When the USC vs Tennessee game first came on, they showed the crowd and the field and with all that orange, it looked like Gay Day in Tennessee! We recognize that here in South Carolina because Clemson has Gay Day everyday!

Raise em right and they want to go to USC LOL

That's Tom's child

Tonight, Katie went upstairs to give Brittanie her cell phone that she had left downstairs because she just missed a call. While up there, she asked Brittanie is she knew was "diligent" meant. Brittanie told her it meant persistent. Katie argued that it meant good. So they both came downstairs so Tom could settle the argument. Well of course Tom said Brittanie was right. So Brittanie starts telling us the story and telling Katie what diligent means with examples. Well Katie is convinced we are all wrong and she is right and she wasn't listening to any of us. She covered her ears and began yelling "BLAH BLAH BLAH 1 2 3 BLAH BLAH BLAH 1 2 3." We couldn't help but laugh at her. She's is definitely unique and so headstrong!

I have said in the past that each night, she has Tom do something different with her that involves him running her through the house. Sometimes he pretends to be a race car or a horse or whatever she chooses. Well the last few nights, she has made him do the same thing each night and if you know Tom, you will know how funny this is. She has Tom sing loudly "OHHHHH WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA?" And Katie yells "SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!" Tom: "ABSORBENT AND YELLOW AND POROUS IS HE!" Katie: "SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!" Well you get the picture. They do the whole song! It is hilarious! I love watching him play with Katie. He is such a good daddy!

They caught him!

Police have arrested a thug they believe killed our cousin, Jr. I looked at his picture wasn't at all surprised at what I saw. One of Jr.'s friends said "I wish they could bring him by here for about 15 minutes before they take him to jail." I am sure our family members feel the same way. I just hope this scum gets the death penalty. He killed an innocent man...a good man...in cold blood and he deserves to never take another breath ever again.

Worried

Brittanie brought home the itinerary for the senior trip and they have changed the trip from New York, which is where they normally go, to New Orleans. I don't remember if I blogged this before or not but if I did, so what. It's my blog and I can be redundant if I want to. lol

I e-mailed Dr. Maddox (the principal) about it and he wanted to talk to me about it and asked when it was a good time to call so he could go over the details of the trip with me. But with all the text message crap from last week, I guess it slipped his mind. I mentioned to him then that CBS did a 48 hours special on how out of control the homicide epidemic is in New Orleans. According to the report, there were 162 homicides last year and only 2 convictions. If criminals get away with crime, they do it more often. Click here for the 48 hours report.

Today, I was looking wafb.com and saw that there were 4 more murders in the French Quarter, which of course you have to visit when you go to New Orleans....it was on the itinerary even. Click here for that report.

I think it would be irresponsible, wreckless, not to mention INSANE to take a group of teenagers down there! No way is my child going on that trip. I e-mailed the newest report link to Dr. Maddox, called Dr. Hawkins, who is the Associate Superintendent for the school district, and asked Brittanie to ask Hank (the guy she has been seeing) to have his mom call me....she is on the school board. I'm not going to stop until the trip venue is changed. Dr. Hawkins told me they allow the schools some flexibility in planning trips and they were apprehensive about the trip as well but were waiting to see what response parents would have to the trip. Well probably most parents just thought, it is $575 and their kid isn't going and let it drop. But I want my child to go on her senior trip. I didn't get to go to mine because it was always a drunken party at the beach in Florida and not only was I not interested in going but my mom wouldn't have even thought about it. I never even asked. But Swansea High School seniors should be able to have a senior trip that doesn't endanger their lives!

So if you are a parent of a senior at Swansea High, call Dr. Maddox (803-568-1100) or Dr. Hawkins (803-568-1000) and let them know what you think about this trip!
