It would have been whine after whine. Thus, no blogging. There's been no school this week, either. The first three days I gave the boys the choice of school, or helping to clean the house. The first two days they chose cleaning. On Wednesday Aidan chose school.
Texas hates my sinuses.
So rather than tell you about my crappy week, I'll tell you how thrilled I am about the election. Yes, I'm happy that Pres. Bush won. However, I'm most happy that the thing is over, and that there won't be any long, drawn out court battles and recounts. I was afraid that if the election was close the Dems would make it as ugly and nasty as the last election. And then a precedent would be set, and all elections would be that bad. Sen. Kerry impressed me by conceding quickly and graciously. In fact, if his campaign could have sounded more like his concession speech, I think he'd have had a better chance of winning.
Still, I'm most glad that someone won with a clear margin, with electoral votes and the popular vote. The "not my president" crap made me ill.
Now to take a deep breath and hope we were right.
By the way, if you haven't seen it, CNN's election map is very interesting. It will show you a map of the counties in each state, with the Bush counties colored red and the Kerry counties colored blue. It's fascinating to see how the colors fall out, especially in Texas and Illinois.
In other news, I've always wanted to buy the kids playsilks. They run anywhere from $8-12 a pop, though, and I just couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money on a little piece of cloth. Well, Dharma Trading Company sells undyed silks for cheap. I got eight pieces of 44" square silks for $3.83 each. Add a tie-dye kit from Michaels, and we have some cool silks to play with now!
My friends, guess what your kids are all getting for Christmas? ;-)
It's Faith's birthday. Happy Birthday, sweet little Faith!

Posted by: Sarah on November 4, 2004 09:50 AMPretty silks! What all are you going to do with them?
Posted by: Laura Gallagher on November 4, 2004 10:06 AMOh Steph! I'm glad you're back! I miss it very much when you don't blog. I actually check your blog at LEAST daily and when you don't blog it's depressing. You're JUST THAT witty and fun, you know! :)

Thanks, K ;-) I'm glad to see you're back blogging as well.
