Super Tuesday

Sorry about the brief hiatus there. Time just got away from me and then before I knew it, I hadn't blogged for a few days and then I was feeling guilty and so here I am!

Today is our first day with no help from the families, and it feels pretty good. Josh is back to work (at home) three days a week these next two weeks, so today he was able to get up with Jack so Emmie and I could sleep in a little. That would be after we were awake for an hour at 5 a.m. It's really dark at 5 a.m. Did you know that? And quiet. Too quiet to turn the TV on and have something to do while the child eats because it would disturb my husband's precious precious rest which can't be interrupted by the drop of a pin or he will wake up and not be able to get back to sleep. (This is the same husband who has learned to sleep through a child's whining on the monitor and can now sleep with the table lamp on next to him. But I digress.)

But the four of us got our acts together and left the house and went to vote this afternoon and then stopped at Jack's favorite restaurant, Chipotle, for a post-vote lunch. Emmie had the chips and salsa. She likes it spicy.

Since we vote at a firehouse, Jack was excited to see the big trucks and I showed him the firefighters' boots and coats and he was generally amused by the whole thing. We had prepared him before we left, and we asked him where we were going and he said, "Boat!" Yes, we're going to vote. Close enough. "Who are you voting for?" we asked. "O-Mama!" Again, close enough.

So y'all should get out there and do your civic duty if your state has elections today. And remember, Boat 0-Mama!
