Weather

The weather is absolutely nuts here...let me see. Last week, we were out in shorts and flip flops. This week it snowed. Not just a little snow (well, in downtown Dallas it was a little snow) but a few miles north of us got 9 inches! That is like skiing snow. (to me anyway) some kid was on the news, he had taken the wheels off of his skateboard and was using it as a snowboard on a hill in his neighborhood. Now, that is newsworthy material. That is the thing about the news...the local news, that cracks me up. "breaking news" often involves someone with 3 teeth who almost always lives in a trailer park, some kind of drugs, a rotweiler chained between 2 trees, and a gun of some sort.

Dallas' finest.

That's it. i'm moving as soon as I can. we have had more trouble lately getting Noah to sleep, both naps and nighttime. and the neighbor's dog just went nuts and then she takes him out the back door (which is right below noah's window) and slams it (which she does EVERY time she goes out). I cannot cannot take it anymore. living 4 feet from someone is something you only have patience for when you don't have a small child...and even then, it was tough. needless to say, he cried out. however, he seems to have gone back to sleep. a miracle. we'll see. when the neighbor gets back in 10 minutes from walking her menace (a jack russell terrier, which I think may be the most annoying dog ever bred), she'll slam it again and I may have to go tell her what will happen to her little yapper if she keeps it up. (I'm all talk...I'll do nothing of the sort...but it's nice to fantasize about being aggressive, which I am, but usually only over the phone...telemarketers beware)
