However, today I want to open myself to the politics of the White House Easter Egg Roll, to which NO MATTER WHAT I DO I cannot get tickets!! I have been sitting online since 8am trying to get into the system which happen about 8:15, so I though YAY great I am gonna get tickets! No...I got in and no matter what quantity I chose, it was not available. Then I went to choose another time slot and guess what? I can't go back. So there I sat in the "waiting room" for another 45 minutes when I finally got in again. Shouldn't I have been able to switch between timeslots until I found one that worked, since I waited "in line"? Now I am finally back in and I have tried EVERY timeslot, only asking for 2 tickets and they are not available. So WHY ON EARTH would they leave the timeslots up as being available?? Once the tickets are gone shouldn't they take them down, or only show what is available?? So, needless to say, I am not getting tickets between the retarded waiting room and the "internet page not available" and the guessing forever which timeslots have tickets, when in fact NONE of them do. I hate Obama. (Can I say that here?) Just because I wanted Easter Egg Roll tickets for my cute sweet little boy.

And now I don't think I have time to work out since I have to vacuum and go grocery shopping and go to work so I can bake two cakes tomorrow and set up for a wedding reception.
But, on a side note, some of you have been asking for pics of Tyler's room, so enjoy...
(These were taken right after we set his room up and are not that great - it looks way cooler in person).

Trying to get those tickets were frustrating. I had at one point four windows open, each trying get in on the tickets, and the "internet page not available" was their system, not having to do with our end. Grrr.
How funny. Just the other day I found out about this new on line ticket deal and was upset that I never got to go because the system of waiting in the freezing cold etc was so inefficient. I guess that there is no good way to get there. I am so sorry. Who are these people who get these coveted tickets.
So apparently we weren't the only ones with issues. There is an article on it, and it says the White House has yet to respond to the problems

YOU WANNA hear about COMPLAINTS!!!! I've been up since 1AM checking!! Melissa and I were taking shifts (starting at midnight) with checking the site ALL NIGHT LONG!! NO LUCK for us either!! It does say to keep checking back so that's what I've been doing ALL MORNING!!!! And I have a feeling I'll be doing it the rest of the afternoon too!! At least I had a lot of busy work to get done that I can work on here at my desk while I check back every couple of minutes!
On a more positive note, thanks for sharing pics of Tyler's room!! I already got my sneak peak in person and it really is SUPER COOL!!!! I have to admit, I'l LOVE to have a room THAT cool! What a lucky little boy! And his bedding....SUCH A GOOD PICK (I think I already told you Madi has the exact same bedding:)!! We lOVE it!!! She'd flip if she saw Tyler's bedroom!!! She lOVES her animals!!
So SORRY! Sheesh! I will try to keep an eye on it.
Tyler's room is amazing! I am excited to see what you do when #2 comes along.
By the way, I have the cake pan for you when you need it.
I love Tyler's room!
As for the tickets, we should have had a big laptop party today and all gotten together to "refresh".....at least it would have been more fun than sitting here all day long.
So I heard you maybe had some luck finally? Rumor or true??
Tyler's room looks so fun, love the jungle theme! I know you guys are renting there, but are you thinking of buying in the area anytime soon?
