It's hard to believe that just three years ago this past week was when I found out that I was going to be a mommy again. And that here Krissy is, the exact same age Skylar was when I found out she was going to be a big sister. And I guess a little part of me is kinda sad that since the hubs and I have closed the door (via surgery)on the possibility of more children. And that I won't get to see what kind of big sister she'll be.

Skylar has been a wonderful big sister so far. Yes, she has her moments, as all big sisters do (as a big sister myself, I get where she's coming from a lot of the time). But she is turning out to be a very creative, vivacious and wonderul little girl and I am proud of her. Krissy is my silly goose, petite, polite for a two year old.

Now, the following rant is aimed at the media, not at necessarily Dems or GOP'ers:
I've got NBC's day-before-the-inaugeration coverage on (because there's nothing good on History or Travel Channel right now), hosted by the "Today" show crowd. If I'm going to watch news, this is the bunch I usually like to watch. Today I beg to differ.
Who gives a royal f**k that Michelle Obama has not chosen what she's going to wear for the inaugeration or the ball afterward! The woman is a mom of two little girls (of which I whole heartedly sympathize!) and is about to undergo a life-altering experience in front of the entire world - cut the woman some slack!!!

Just because she is one of the youngest first ladies this generation has known, does not mean the media should throw her under the same microscope/bus that the media has such a habit of doing to Hollywood starlettes! She is not a starlette!! This is wife of the man that this country voted to lead our nation. And by virtue of her position she should be treated with the same respect and privacy! I swear if I see one headline in the WalMart checkout that says "Michelle's Baby-Bump!" or "First Lady gains 40 pounds!" I will friggin scream!
