YAY!

I'm just glad that this day is here.  This morning I woke up, took my girls to school, and then headed over to a local church to vote.  Of course the polling place had people form two lines based on your last name.  I got to go on the line that was so S*L*O*W where I saw people on the left line leave within 20 minutes and I was there for 100 minutes ... lucky me.

BUT, I voted and I am HAPPY with my choices.  I voted knowing very well what was important for my me and my family.  

Whatever the outcome, I just hope and pray for our new President/Vice President.

(((SIGH))))  I wonder what I will watch on TV or read on the internet/newspaper NOW?  It seems for so long I have been a little preoccupied ;)

LOL...Me too, {E}! What am I going to do to fill my time? Umm, the state of affairs in regards to the cleanliness and organization our my house have this fall. Maybe I should make housekeeping my new obsession? :)

The A-H line was the longest at my polling place this morning but I hate even use the word "long" knowing how long you waited to vote. My "long" means maybe 8 people in line instead 4.

I know. It's kind of weird that it's now here and we'll just wait and see what happens. Praying. Praying. But either way, we have to pray for the man that leads our country now - like we never have before. So much is at stake.

I voted absentee - mostly because Leo requested a ballot knowing he'd be in Memphis already - and I figured it'd save me the time in line - although I really like the whole process of going to the polls and walking out and I'm full of pride when I wear my "I voted today" sticker.

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
