That title's better if you imagine James Earl Jones saying it.
What a week it's been! And between you and me(no one else is reading, right?), I'm glad it's over. I know there is way more to come but I need a few days away from it all.
Yesterday, a film crew from CNN drove down from NYC to interview us. Upon arriving and trying to set up their equipment, Maggie wouldn't leave them alone. So I had her arrested.
Don't feel bad for her. I told you before that she has no manners. I blame her Foster Mother. "Love ya Aunt Pam"!
And they got right to town setting up their equipment in my living room. Getting my ottoman in just the right angle for visitors, took me forever. Then right before my eyes, they picked it up and moved it against the fireplace. I'll never find that perfect position again, I just know it.
I tried my best not to get in their way but my house is the size of a postage stamp so there was little I could do. I suppose had I stopped taking photos of the situation, that would have helped too. But c'mon, how often will a international news crew be in my living room?
Fred's ready for his close-up!
He looks a little washed out in that light. But that's what he gets for being born white. I had way more sense in the beginning. See my furniture against the fireplace. Why did they do that to me?
Gettin' strapped in!
Watching Fox News while waiting. Just joking, Fred would never!
The happy couple
If you watch all the videos that I posted from the past week, I think that carousel horse is always behind us. Maybe they'll make it the face of Gay Immigration.
Damn Paparazzi always following us
Don't worry, our neighbors are used to cameras in the neighborhood. But usually it's the producers of COPS. This is a nice change of pace.
Maggie escaped!
The Great American Melting Pot
When we bought that love seat in the late 90s, it was perfect for the two of us. The salesperson suggested that we buy the sofa instead for only $60.00 more. I didn't want a huge sofa in my living room. So I said no. I may have been wrong.
Listen, I'm not going to get all political on you today. I've had enough of it and all I really want to do is get back to my simple posts. But as mentioned before, this blog is a diary for the kids. And, well, this is what is happening in their lives.
Once again, and probably for the rest of my life now, I need to Thank you all for everything that you are doing for our Family. Our story has been shared everywhere and I'm hoping that the more people realized that this is an actual situation, the more pressure will be put on the Gov't to remove this barrier for so many Families like ours.

I hope to be back blogging regularly on Monday or Tuesday. I miss visiting you all and leaving inappropriate comments on your blogs. Thank you for sticking with me and I do apologize for not responding to comments over the past week. I was a little busy fighting the Federal Government. You know how it is.
Your Friend, m.
