Disappointed
This is the solution that childmed.com has for clipping their pacifier to those pacifier clip things. Time to come up with Plan B.

Things I've Learned...
Here are some of the things I've learned over the past almost four months...
1. Avent bottles look pretty but they're a pain in the ass and Sarah doesn't like them.
2. Not all diapers are created equal.
3. There's nothing wrong with the good ol' fashioned bottles that I had as a child (if it was good enough for me, it's good enough for my daughter!).
4. Spit happens. Sometimes more than others.
5. Zantac is a wonderful thing. Too bad it had to take almost four months to get it.
6. You don't do everything the doctor tells you and or by the book.
7. Having a child changes your relationship with your spouse. This can be a good thing. I've fallen in love all over again.
8. Speaking of love....You don't realize exactly how much your parents love you until you have your own.
9. The living room seems so much smaller with all the baby stuff in it.
10. Sarah really does miss me when I'm gone. (yes, I was worried about this before going back to work).

Cute Kittens
Here's a cute pic I found on http://kitten-picture.blogspot.com/ The owner's comments: Here are my cats, Nelle (the calico) and Misa. They're sisters and absolutely inseparable - they do everything together, be it eating, sleeping or going to the toilet! By Riikka

Vacation
Editors note: Most of you who read this know me and know that this is not some form of scrutiny against Mexicans. Both parties involved hold equal accountability. My mother recently became a US citizen after being a legal alien for many years. She came to this country legally and did things appropriately. I have no problem with people doing this. The current immigration issues occuring today have very little to do with the Hispanic population and the only reason they feel it's a slander against them is that they are the most prominent. You can take out Mexico in the letter below and put in any given foreign contry. I say this to all immigrants..."If you want to come to this country to make a better life for yourself and take advantage of our system like some of our own people do, LEARN THE F@#$%ing LANGUAGE!" *steps off soapbox*
MR. PRESIDENT, I'M HEADED TO MEXICO
Dear President Bush:
I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. Into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.
I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.
So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms need to be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws. 10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and dont enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. From Mexico I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.
Thank you so much for your kind help.
Sincerely,

Back to work and whatnot
Well, I survived my first week back to work. I think it is because Sarah isn't in daycare yet. That will come on Tuesday. I know it's more so me getting used to it rather than her...It was nice getting back into somewhat of a routine and seeing people again. Good thing I don't work at WPS anymore.
Today Terry and I took Sarah to JCPenney to get her pictures taken. They didn't turn out quite like we had hoped but they weren't bad. She didn't fuss too much but, we didn't get a really good smile as we have with our digital. I think she was too nosey about all the lights and equipment. I hope when we take her back next time that she cooperates more.
