Well, I'm praying my fanny off, hoping for the best but fearing the worst. But at least the day has come and we can get on with the next part soon, I hope. Today I will drop off my mail-in ballot at the library (I didn't know they were open for business yesterday, or I would have dropped it off then). I will also return a waffle maker I bought with my birthday money that didn't work on one side. ARGH. Half done waffles really baked my morning yesterday. Good thing, for once, I held on to the receipt.
I got a phone call from a Dino Rossi (for Governor) volunteer last night. The poor guy was so nervous, he sounded like he could barely talk. Someone must have chewed him out. I told him he could absolutely count on my vote. I have to say, making calls is not something I can do. I can stand on the Planned Parenthood sidewalk and pray, but somehow cold calling freaks me out. Go figure.
One kid is up and the others are not, but I really should clean the house as Rosary will be at our house for the next two Wednesdays.
I've been using mvelopes.com to keep track of my money and I have made one fascinating observation. Having my kids in sports and activities is EXPENSIVE. Therefore, I have decided to put off swimming lessons til spring instead of doing them in winter like I normally do. Sadness, but really, I should spend this winter doing all the indoor things I meant to do, anyway. Like organizing. Remember how I gave up grading papers to work on ME this year? Yeah... I like procrastinating. But as the weather gets worse, I will be forced to do what I meant to do, and that's a good thing. Then maybe next year I can grade again.
Well, keep praying folks, no matter how the election turns out.
If Obama wins, and it looks like he may, I can't wait to see what happens in a year or two when the press finds out they've been had and he's just another politician.

LOL on the media being had w/ Obama. I'm actually wondering how that will look, too.
ReplyDeleteI do want to take some time in the next few months to write a good letter or two to Obama and other key Democrats, urging them to focus on the things I care about. I'm hoping that if they get pressure to do things that are not immoral, maybe they will be too distracted to focus on the immoral stuff - especially if it is combined with some stiff resistance (like 40 DFL) against the bad things. Maybe 40DFL will give the pro-life group the unity we need to do this, especially if it goes into a longer-term movement like people are discussing. Although I have mixed feelings about that; the 40 days format should still be used for pushes once or twice a year, IMO, to draw more people in - especially in areas where they aren't ready for 365 days of pro-life work.
Oh, and I'm glad you'll be taking time for yourself. Thanks for making that a goal for yourself, BTW. You really helped me recognize that I needed to do that for my family as well.
