As I mentioned before, I was supposed to be working as an election judge during this historic election day.  Instead, I am being puked on by a sick kid.  But there is good news.  By tonight (I hope this doesn’t drag on longer than that), we will have elected either our first African-American president or our first female vice president.  Exciting times!

So I sit here, eagerly awaiting the results of today's voting...ticked that Alan Keyes wasn't on the ballot here as anything other than a write-in candidate on a long list of write-in candidates...angry that the Republican Party can't get its head out of its butt long enough to select a candidate that I can really, 100% get behind…and anxious for the election and its divisive politics to be over.  I am sure that everyone has one or two friends they have been avoiding during the past few months because every word out of their mouths has been political.  Enough already!

I am eating my free donut from Krispy Kreme, washing it down with my free coffee from Starbucks.  After dinner, we will head to Ben & Jerry's for a free scoop of ice cream.  In the meantime, I am cruising a wide variety of news websites, looking for evidence of voter fraud or rigged voting that may cause the same issues we had in 2000.

Dom was very into the process while Daddy voted…I already voted absentee ballot since I was supposed to be working the election.  He yelled, "Daddy's voting!" to everyone he saw outside and inside of our polling place.  He even tried to make selections in the voting booth.  He got his own "I voted" sticker, which Starbucks and Krispy Kreme both honored (Starbucks gave him a free kid's cocoa). 

And now we wait.
