The election results could not have been more appropriate for such a horrendous weekend. The only good thing that happened, since Friday, was Friday! Everything after that just became a snowball effect of tragedy, so to speak.
To start with, I really enjoyed Halloween and seeing all of the little kids in their costumes. It was absolutely adorable. However, it did get me thinking, already!! I couldn't help but wonder what sort of costume Olivia would be wearing next year. Hmmm! Will I make it, or buy it? Only time will tell. I can't see NOT making it since I will have the time. I don't foresee us taking her door-to-door though. She won't be a year old yet, so what's the point? She'll just be dressed for the occasion.
And here's where it gets bad, at least for me! First, there was the annual FL/GA game! Always good times. It would have definitely been better had Georgia showed up to the game. They played just as terribly as they did against Alabama. It was a disaster, to say the least. Carl has decided that he is no longer a Georgia fan this year, and he is now focusing his concentration on the Lobos (University of New Mexico). Same colors, ironically! Sunday began with promising optimism to restore my football faith. How could the Jags go wrong? They were playing one of the only 2 teams in the NFL without a win. CAKE! (INSERT BUZZER SOUND HERE)! Nope, wrong! How in the world can the Jags lose to a NO win team? Some how they managed to, by playing the same way Georgia played. David Garrard can not carry that team by himself. Needless to say, I have decided to put both of my teams in TIME-OUT! I have better things to do than watch teams that cannot pull it together when it's needed most!!!
Finally, was the day we had all been waiting for... ELECTION DAY! I should have known that would not go so swell either, given the events of the preceding weekend. It just amazes me that the main reason Obama won is due to the color of his skin. Or should I say HALF of the color of his skin. It's ridiculous. There are many other issues about this that I could rant about, but I won't. I hate that there are so many people in this country that feel it is the responsibility of the government to take care of them, rather than taking care of themselves! Apparently most of the people of this country will vote for higher taxes just to elect a man because of his skin color, and because he thinks the government should do more to help. As a former member of the military, and a soon to be spouse/dependent, I'm afraid to see what will become of our beloved military while he is in office. All we can do now is sit back, watch, and wait! I am currently monitoring the House results, and hoping that the Dems do not get FULL control of government.
I'm out! I have diapers to finish, and other random useless things to do.

agreed! It is a shame that people voted based on race and not the actual issues. Oh well, I just pray for our country.
Sorry about Georgia. Although John is a Gator and was super happy, I am a Nole and was equally disappointed in their performance. Grrr at the Jags too.
I was fine with the loss. I was irritated with Marty. He kept sending me texts all night, and the next day. He was the only one. I would have been fine with 1 or 2. I didn't need 500 (6 really, but still). I was waiting for him to realize that I wasn't texting back, but he never did. I had to ask Dee to ask him to leave me alone, on Sunday afternoon. OH WELL!
hey hot mama!
The tooth is still a pain...!
Gotta love the dentist!
Well at least we have a good head on our shoulders and will be leading our kiddos in the right direction!
