Imbibing on Democracy
FILED UNDER: Everyday Life
November 03, 2004

I woke up this morning with the hugest political hangover of all time! Whew! Glad that's over with! Yay Dubya!

That's about as far into it as I'll go though. I'm all politicked out!

The last few days have been killer on me. I am on such an emotional rollercoaster now (to which Patrick can attest, unfortunately). I cry at the drop of a hat (especially if it lands on my toe) but then I laugh at myself because I know what a dope I am! I teared up over women's suffrage yesterday, for crying out loud. Don't get me wrong, it's important. It's just not worth breaking down over in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

I'm a mess.

I haven't felt much like writing lately, but I've been doing a heck of a lot of reading, especially blogs. I followed the election through some of the hot blogs, and I had SO much fun. Much more interesting than old Dan Rather and the gang. Bloggers absolutely ROCK, and this election proved it.

ANYWAY, my point was that I haven't been up to writing much. That's okay- there's an ebb and flow to writing/blogging/any creative outlet. My physical condition is starting to improve, so I expect I'll be more talky now. I feel the baby move now. Seriously! It's super early, I shouldn't really feel it for another month or so, but I know I am. I guess it's possible that I'm farther along than I thought, won't know that for sure until I see the doctor again. (next week). I've been feeling this little twitchy sensation for about a week now. When Ann did a sonogram the other day (remember the perk of working in labor and delivery?) and we saw my little cutie, he did a big kick, and I felt it! I just love being right! It almost makes up for wanting to hurl for 80% of the day.

But it's getting better. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (well, of the first trimester, anyway. I'm sure I'll have PLENTY more to complain about as we go along, never fear.)

By the way, I told my sister-in-law today that I was close to being out of my first semester (instead of trimester). I had to laugh. It's either fetal brain drain, or we've just been in school TOO long.

Well dears, that's all for this post. We return you now to your regularly scheduled internet browsing.

So the baby's a "he", huh? Is that what you are guessing?

Shannon you're a genius!

"I teared up over women's suffrage yesterday, for crying out loud. Don't get me wrong, it's important. It's just not worth breaking down over in the Wal-Mart parking lot."

Poor Mommy!

I enjoyed reading this! My pregnant daughter acts like she's fine and excited and all that, but the other day while she stayed here and we looked at baby stuff, my husband dragged our son-in-law off to the store with him. Well later, after the kids left, my husband said he and my son-in-law had a nice talk. My husband started off with, "So how's everything going?" and my son-in-law, who's very easy going and calm, got a real scared look and said, "She's SO emotional!". My husband just laughed and said "For goodness sakes, she's having her first baby! of course she's emotional, it's normal." My son-in-law said "yeah" and seemed OK again. He's really excited about his son.

Oh the joys of dancing hormones!!! (really, I think it's neat! such is life....)
