I honestly can not believe this name!

I came across something that made my skin crawl....

They are shooting a new show in Dallas that will be on the ABC lineup for fall. This show is entitled "Good Christian B*!^&es."

REALLY???!!!

I am so offended by this name, I can't even tell you. I honestly can't believe more people haven't been up in arms about it!

I mean, I get what they are trying to do...we are in the Bible belt, people in Dallas are Christians but can still be backstabbing and cutthroat. I get it, I get it. But this name is SO hit-you-over-the-head, completely wrong, seriously messed up, TOTALLY offensive, I can't even begin to name all of the things wrong with it.

First of all, I know that there are alot of people out there saying, "Finally, someone has named Christians for what they are!" (People like, Bill Maher for example. And I hope we all know how I feel about him, if you don't, I will be happy to tell you.....) I am also sure that non-Christians will say stuff like, "You guys need to have a sense of humor about who you are!" or something along of lines of, "You are taking yourself too seriously."

Let me just tell you - it takes alot to offend me. Really, it does. And I am a Christian. And this offends me.

Is this name that necessary? I mean, couldn't they find something else to call this show? It's not a reality show, it's a scripted show, like Desperate Housewives. But did they really have to use that language when referring to a group of believers?

As a Christian, this to me is just such a lack of creativity on the part of the show's creators, they had to steep this low to get an interest going, shows how completely uncreative they really are. I would think they would never have a show referring to other groups this way (think, African American or Muslim). But yet somehow, we are supposed to think it's OK because, why again?

I really do understand what it is they are trying to say. They are basically saying that Christians are hypocrites. Especially in this part of the country. I know what they are saying, I really, really do. I get the premise of the show. I just wish they had found a different name for it. They are already starting to refer to it as GCB, which is probably what it will end up being called, because I hardly think that a group of women, standing around a water cooler, talking about what they saw on Good Christian B**&#es the night before, will fly in most social circles or as appropriate work conversation, regardless of your religious beliefs. They won't do well for inspiring popularity for this show.

But I will ALWAYS know what those initials stand for. I, for one, will not watch this show as long as this is the name!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...
