今晚到明天我这里都下雨,明天中午老公,我和宝宝准备去议员办公室参加tea party对这次health care reform的抗议活动.

希望那个民主党的议员会听劝,不要一意孤行,明年我们把他们都vote out.

每天晚上8点多就睁不开眼睛了,老公也是,我俩也不怎么看电视了,老公在楼上看他的kindle电子书,我在楼下开着电视玩儿我的笔记本电脑上网瞎逛。不一会儿就到该睡觉的时候了,我呢又觉得不知道做啥好,想上网,又不知道去哪儿,不停地刷新电子邮箱,不停地刷新论坛,最近咋那么打不起精神呢。不会是春天到了吧,是不是只有我这样呢?一头雾水,希望我尽快能振作起来,做饭打扫房间陪孩子玩儿,做个好主妇好妻子好妈妈。

说起来容易哦,坚持做下去真得不容易,怎么才能坚持做完我的to do list呢?我总今天推明天,明天推后天的,别说老公了,连我自己都看不下去了,还好老公不说我,那我得自己自觉哦。

唉。。。努力吧。

记得上次在论坛里袖儿说我要化妆打扮自己,我也保证了会这样做。目前为止我出门的90%我都化妆打扮自己了,希望当我忙的时候我也可以这样做哦。为了老公也为了给自己找回自信。

前天教堂的朋友和她老公开车来我家看我们,给olivia送她买来的大衣,真的让我很感动。记得我刚生完孩子时在超市见过那个姐妹,她见到我第一句话就是“你怎么那么胖啊?”可前天她看到我后跟我很正经地说“你瘦多了!”听了这话让我特高兴,也算找回来一些自信。我会继续努力减肥的,最近上火,嘴角两边起了包都被我抠破了,老公和我妈都告诉我别抠,到时候留疤瘌。我老公只要看到我抠包他就掐我大腿内测,巨疼。可我总控制不了自己的手,没事儿就去抠包,我咋就这么不争气呢,自己的手自己都控制不了。不知道有没有人和我一样哦,真是让我郁闷,这个毛病从高中时就有了,到现在也没改掉。

对了,情人节老公生病,我们没有出门他也没来得及给我买情人节礼物。今天下班回来他说给我惊喜,结果从口袋里拿出来一对儿带着巧克力的熊猫玩具和一盒桃心状的巧克力作为礼物送给我,让我感动不已。以后的情人节都该这么过,情人节过后的所有相关产品都大大地打折,哈哈。我情人节前一天给老公买的贺卡,巧克力和心形气球,一共加起来才10刀,够经济实惠吧。

Scientist quits: ‘I don’t want to remain a member of an organization that …screws up science that badly.’

From the Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. blog:

Henk Tennekes Resigns from Dutch Academy

Henk Tennekes is well known to the visitors of our website. A few days ago, he told me that he submitted a letter of resignation to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences on Saturday, January 23.  He wrote to me “I don’t want to remain a member of an organization that, like AMS and NAS, screws up science that badly.” The Dutch newspaper NRC-Handelsblad apparently got hold of a copy of the resignation letter and ran a News Flash on Saturday, January 30. In the letter to the Academy, Henk complains that he submitted the manuscript of his essay on Hermetic Jargon (which I am happy to reproduce here below, with his permission) to the Academy President at that time, Frits van Oostrom. The President, however, did not bother to respond.   The NRC news flash, translated by Henk himself at my request, reads:

Tennekes Quits

By Karel Knip

“I have had it. Farewell.”  With these words Henk Tennekes concludes his final letter to the Executive Board of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He wrote his letter of resignation on January 23. A unique occurrence in the history of the Academy, which obtains its membership by co-optation. Normally, a member of the Academy loses his membership only when he dies. Tennekes is still alive.

$190,464 sex reversal in mice  $221,355 research “why young men don’t like condoms”  $197,000 homeless men and sex  $2.6million to train chinese whores drink responsible……

Minneapolis, MN–The federal “stimulus” spending splurge has truly been the gift that keeps on giving throughout 2009.

Not just for special interest groups like teachers, higher education, subsidized housing advocates, green energy contractors, arts groups, and government workers at every level, but also for the media and watchdog organizations exposing thousands of nonexistent jobs supposedly saved or created by the binge spending, a not so transparent process and hundreds of phantom congressional districts.

A year-end review of the stimulus spending spree indicates Minnesota has been designated to receive $4,755,777,465 stimulus dollars, raising Minnesotans’ share of the national debt by $911 for every man, woman and child. And it’s not just bike paths and “socially conscious puppet shows” that taxpayers are bankrolling.

到时候他们肯定第一个攻击美国哦。。。

这核武器,估计咱住哪儿都会受影响哦,只要是在美国。

想想都害怕

3个月之前都不用让她哭那么久,我前三个月很痛苦的,每天早上5点睡觉,晚上一夜看孩子,孩子不睡。从第4个月开始就开始训练宝宝睡觉了,人家都说每个孩子不一样,方法不同。
但我想olivia这么难伺候的孩子都可以训练,其他孩子一定没问题的,olivia从小睡觉就让我发愁的,训练的3个月才好起来的。孩子很精明的,你越抱她她就越会找闹得机会闹,因为她知道她一哭就有人抱她,这点已经被我妈验证过了,我妈当初就是老抱孩子,我们因为这个不知道吵过多少次。olivia在crib里哭,我妈就跑客厅哭去,不过过了半年多,我妈终于承认我们的教育方式是对的,所以在她回国前她也开始让孩子哭了。
真的很管用,我看过好几本关于孩子睡觉的书了,都是这么说的。让孩子哭有个前提,第一孩子不饿,第二孩子没尿,第三孩子没有不舒服。你确定不是这三点了,就可以让孩子哭睡了。olivia小的时候好几次都哭吐了,作父母的都知道的,孩子哭的时候,父母心也是揪着难受的。但为了孩子有个好的习惯,只能忍了。
等孩子1岁以后就不要让孩子总哭了,一般一岁以后的孩子已经养成睡眠习惯了,这时的孩子如果晚上哭醒了,也许是因为做梦了,你要去抱她10分钟,让她知道你在周围,让她有安全感,但不要总抱着,抱10分钟就把她放回crib,她如果还哭就再让她哭10分钟,你再回去抱她10分钟,这样来回几次,她会有安全感,就会自己睡觉了。
还有一点就是孩子1岁以后就不要在刷牙后喂她吃的了,特别不要在夜里把她叫起来喂她奶。如果在她晚上刷牙后还喂奶的话,到她6岁左右她就会有虫牙的,我认识两个人的孩子都是遇到了这样的问题,到时候补牙又花钱孩子又受罪。我问过医生了,他说孩子4个月以后晚上睡觉不吃饭也可以抗饿了。olivia晚上7点开始洗澡,我一般6点45左右开始喂她饭,吃饭就去刷牙,洗澡,读书,睡觉。从4个月就开始有这个routine了,你也可以试试,这样孩子就知道读书后就改睡了,时间长了你不用管她也会睡的。记得从3.4个月开始就可以给孩子刷牙了,没有牙可以用婴儿的那种特制的胶皮套和baby牙膏刷gum,长牙后可以用儿童牙刷和儿童牙膏。
就说这么多,感觉我都快成唐僧了,哈哈。
