Okay, so I wrote an article several months ago, and I saw the print version for the first time today. In the article, I wrote, “Y is a goddess.” It was changed to “Y is fantastic.” This just makes me so mad. Not to mention, it was a direct quote that they changed.

What I thought was a comma splice ended up just being a matter of the subordinator being on the other side of a picture. But now I notice that all my verbs were changed from the historical present tense to the past tense. GRRRR.

Kyrie’s so much fun. She gives me kisses every morning. She makes a clicking sound with her tongue and presses her lips against mine. She is the most precious little human being I have ever known. She brings me stories and sits on my lap, looking at the pictures and listening to me read them to her. When I put her down for naps, I let her snuggle her dolly. She insists that I kiss her AND the dolly as I put “them” down to sleep. She giggles at the silliest things. She loves to play peek-a-boo, and her expression is priceless when she peers around a corner to sneak up on me. She’s saying “mama” more regularly now. She gives hugs to anyone who asks. She’s my darling, and she’ll be my baby forever. *sigh*

Having a daughter makes me love and appreciate my own mom so much, not only because of all the things I know she did for me that were so hard and sacrificial, but also because I know that she feels the same way about me as I do about Kyrie…and that’s amazing that someone would love me that much. I love you Mommy! Can’t wait to see you in less than a month!

I am not really that interested in yesterday’s results, but I did notice that many, many pro-life democrats won last night.

In the Senate:

Robert Casey Jr-PA, who is, I think, more consistently pro-life, defeated Rick Santorum, who is an anti-abortion crusader. Don’t get me wrong. Santorum has done a lot for the anti-abortion agenda (and his wife has a great book that sheds some light on their own personal experiences), but Casey is a better choice, in my book. Joel has a great post on why he’ll miss Santorum.

Ben Nelson-CO, a leading pro-life democrat, won his re-election too.

In the House:

Brad Ellsworth-IN, Charlie Wilson-OH, Joe Donnelly-IN, and Heath Schuler-NC, all pro-life Dems, awon. (Hey, anyone remember watching Schuler QB at TN in college?) Not to mention Altmire-PA

Lucas-KY, Stuart-FL, Esch-NE, Weaver-KY, Kleeb-NE, and Cranley-OH lost, but hey, at least the Dems that many more pro-lifers up, right?

That pro-choice Republican chic beat out the pro-life Democrat, Joe Shannon, in Illinois. What a crazy election…and I didn’t even mention all the pro-life Dem governors that won.
