In the first of his new weekly addresses to the country, President Barack Obama discusses how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan will jump-start the economy.

I found this at whitehouse.gov through their RSS feed which you can subscribe to here.

Something else of interest is a list of all of President Obama’s executive orders to date which you can read here.

That is one main thing I think Bush had a set back on..besides other things. I don’t think he realized(s) how big and powerful the Internet really is and that this is the way communication is done these days. I really think he was cut off from today’s society and how it interacts.

Jen E (momma aka me)
SAHM to a 3 yr old son & a 6 month old baby girl. I adore blogging, reading, taking too many pictures of my kids and spending quality time with my handsome husband in between.

Daniel (dh, love of my life)
Daddy, McHubby, & engineer. "tall dark & handsome, likes to lean on things." Also likes: tickling his children, going for a morning run, doing Linux stuff, and making homemade pizza.

MM (My Monkey, age 3)
Our son, might be a monkey: He loves Mickey Mouse & Handy Manny, drawing lots of pictures, playing with his sister and sneaking out of his room at night to sleep on the couch.

BB (Baby Blueberry)
The newest addition to our family. She chews anything she can get her hands on, rolls her way to any destination at the speed of light, and she now sleeps in her own crib at night!

Little Children
by Tom Perrotta
- Abandoned February 3, 2010 -
This book is being discussed in an upcoming book club I've been thinking about joining and I have heard some good reviews about it but I just could not bring myself to care about the characters of this story of suburbia, apparently unhappy marriages, and a blatant dissatisfaction with the life of stay at home parenting.

I can understand that these topics are a reality for millions and it's not that I cannot read a book that I can't relate to personally - I can and have. And frankly there were things I could relate to but I could not seem to care about any of the characters at all.

It was like watching a handful of sad people trapped in boxes they'd knowingly climbed into - and being forced to sit inside those boxes with them. The best part of this book was putting it down and being greeted by my own life, which is kind of the opposite of falling into a good book.

I feel like I'm trying to make excuses for not finishing this book, like I've done some horrible misdeed but at the end of the day I have to remind myself that I have better things to do with my time than read a book I'm not enjoying, whatever the reasons.
