Learning Chinese

It has been an interesting few weeks here in the Dudley house. With the rapidly approaching deadline we have all been freaking out a little bit (some more than others).  So many things to do, so little time.  First off the children have been trying to master the Chinese language (insert laugh here!).  We have been very fortunate to have purchased the Rosetta Stone software (that's the one with Mr. Gold Medal as the spokesman) and have installed it on both Scott's work computer and very shortly onto my new laptop.  The other night the boys decided they were going to dive in and get to learning the language.  They think that when the computer says a phrase and they don't get it right, by speaking more loudly and yelling at the computer what they think the phrase should sound like the computer will change its mind. LOL.  It doesn't work that way.  I know, I know at least they are trying.  How about if you come to my house and listen to it for a while.  I'm not complaining, it's actually quite funny.  I have not had a chance to start the lessons, I'm sure that I will sound just as silly.  

On another note...  the first weekend of September is here and I am soon to become a football widow.  Yes, the Cowboys are on the TV on Sunday afternoon.  So those of you who play European Football on Sunday afternoons, you have seen the last of my dear husband!  See you in February!!  He has already started his medication for football withdrawals once we get to China, he will be up at 3am on a Monday morning watching the games live (LOL!).

On yet another sidebar...  as I am sitting here writing this post, I have on Fox News getting ready for the President to speak via satellite.  I have much more to post on that, it will have to wait until another day... if I can only wait that long!  

The McCain/Palin ticket rocks!
