First, I have to take time to share a quick memory. It was six years ago on this date that I was admitted to the hospital before the girls were born two days later. I remember watching the election results of 2002 the following evening (Nov. 5) because, let's face it, I had nothing else to do besides that since I wasn't getting out of bed except to go to the bathroom. Good memories...
Today was the first time I voted in an election and really, truly felt like I was taking part in history. I've voted several times before but have always felt like I was just forced to choose the lesser of two evils and was never excited about the prospect of voting. This year was different. I feel strongly about this election. I have never been more concerned about the state of our nation and feel that someone new needs to be in charge. It's a day that I think will be historical, and I want to remember everything about it.
On the homefront, the girls stayed home again. Hanny is the cough-y child, while the other two are just primarily clearing their throats continually at this point. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for them. The church chili/soup supper was this evening, so I made my soup last night and my chocolate pies this morning. The girls thought the pie was pretty good stuff! There's not many things better than homemade chocolate pie! I'm sure it's a good thing I don't make them very often. I'm going to make cupcakes tomorrow for the girls to take to school Thursday.
It's been a long, busy day, and one I'm ready to have over and done. Until I finally get the go-ahead to go to bed, though, I'm headed to watch MSNBC's election coverage. It should be an interesting night for the news networks! :)
