I voted! November 4, 2008

I got my “I voted sticker” today. I always feel proud of that sticker even though I think it is silly to wear and be proud of it. I am a dichotomous creature. (Can I use the word dichotomy that way?)

Last time I voted I voted absentee but my ballot never came in the mail this time. So, I went down to the polling place toting baby. I rolled him in the door to the local school’s shop classroom to find two steps to acend. There was no ramp. Sigh. I barely managed to heft the stroller up those meager two stairs and had risked Will’s comfort and safety doing so. (Sorry, baby!) Going back out was even trickier. As I was attempting to get him down the two steps I pondered my judgement and the possible outcome and got very frustrated (and stuck between stair one and two wondering what my next safe move might be when a very nice man came by and helped me down by taking the front of the stroller. We lifted Will down safely together. Ahh community. Thank you kind sir!

While we were there we dropped of Billy’s absentee ballot. Baby and I felt very accomplished. I am going to leave that sticker on my hoodie until it gets worn (or my hoodie gets dirty).

Proud mama, proud voter, happy Obamb supporter.

Oh, I should mention, we watched the election coverage on Current TV. Go here to check out the coolness that they produced for the evening. Oh Current, you keep offering unique and fun experiences that I can get involved in or not, depending on my mood. Current is social media channel - you have to check it out because it is too multifaceted for me to describe, and I am tired. Off to bed with me.
