Bitches Get Stuff Done!

Regardless of who you are voting for in the election, the Saturday Night Live sketch of Weekend Update's Women's News with Tiny Fey was quite hilarious. Check it out here: http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/#mea=221773.
Well, what a lovely weekend I've had. Friday we had a snow day, but Wee Haven decided to stay open, so I went to preschool to play with the kids. Then I made myself go out. It was alright. Saturday I had fun meetings all day and relaxed all night. Sunday was homework day, and then I had a basketball game. Lovely, huh? I am so ready for the weather to break. I am so sick of this snow and cold. March is coming soon, but May is really the only guarantee to good weather. I really hope spring comes early and stays for good.
This weekend I am heading home yet again. I am excited to relax, and my family and I have a movie date set. I am excited for good food, good sleep, and good relaxation. It is definitely necessary at this point.
So, I have been doing a TON of research of gender-related violence during times of conflict. It is insane the kind of stuff going on in the world, especially even in our own military. You think the U.S. military is above the rest? Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3dvoBhevOQ. And read http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUST28545020080211?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews. Great, huh? So much stuff gets swept right under the carpet.
One last thing before I finish. If you want to read some really interesting stories, check out my new favorite blog, http://www.feministing.com. That will help open your eyes to some inequalities.
