WOO HOO -- we officially have double-digits in the "followers" category! Nice to know people are keeping up with James' progress and can stand my crazy long run-on sentences :-) We aim to please ;-)
Haha, VP Joe Biden threw out the first pitch at the Baltimore Orioles game (he did a decent job) and he's hilarious to listen to talk as he's being interviewed by the espn crew -- you just never know what he's going to say! He just said "hell yeah" twice -- that's a down to earth politician, hehe.

This week in review: ILLINOIS OUSTED GOVERNOR ROD R. BLAGOJEVICH FROM OFFICE! Way to go Illinois -- one crooked politician down before he takes us all with him. I am happy this is finally complete because that is all they have been talking about for weeks on the news! My favorite part was one night after he was arrested and he didn't want to grant interviews.... until..... one of the reporters in the crowd asked how it felt that Drew Peterson took over the headlines from him again -- interview: GRANTED! I tell ya, I don't know how these people do it!

Anywho, had another baby check-up...33 weeks and counting! They are estimating Peanut's about 4lb 14oz (+/- 4oz) now! I don't know how (because I haven't gained any weight) but this child of ours has managed to gain about 1.5 pounds in the past 2 weeks!?! This baby-making stuff baffles me sometimes (well, most times). The weight gain ups him to the 64th percentile, which I'm going to need to have a talk to him about because I was just fine with him being in the middle of the road on this category...we don't need him over-achieving here now, he should save that for his school days! He is getting some really good 1-2 punch-kicks in on me as he gets stronger and standing to teach PE has become much more interesting to say the least. I only have 3 PE classes now though and 2 PE Study Halls, so I do get some time to get off my feet (which often feel quadruple their size by the time I get home to a hyped up puppy that wants to play).

I found this link, Obamicon.me, from my friend Sheryl's blog and thought it was a good way to a) get a new belly pic for everyone and b) introduce Peanut to politics and his new President. The poster is a much more flattering picture as the original was taken with the web cam and was very pixelated.

Have yourself a most excellent Super Bowl -- don't know if I really care who wins as I'd rather see the Colts vs. the Browns, then I couldn't lose (no, I'm not high, just wishful) but the commercials are usually worth it...although I hear they haven't been able to sell all the ad spots yet -- maybe they should change the pricing, hmmm...or are those companies too busy purchasing $50 million private jets with government bail-out money? You decide!

So I've been singing this song all day and dancing around the Field House -- got some funny looks from my students, but it is such a great idea. They are 6th graders from Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, GA and are pretty amazing.
