OBAMA '08! (It's My Blog)

As of 5:00 this evening, he's one actual vote and two little spectator votes closer to victory.

On another day, I might have actually shed some tears for such a triumph as this, especially with the boys there. But on this day, I had to remind myself to walk, and not dance, up to that machine, and when I got the first screen up and saw his name right there on top, all I could do was grin as I looked back over my shoulder at two exceptionally well-behaved gentlemen, who had opted to watch from the sidelines (so they could keep coloring). I had to suppress a tiny "Wooo-Hooo!" when I touched "Cast Ballot." I would be such a lousy poker player.

The key to surviving the next six days will be keeping busy. The excitement, anxiety, and anticipation I feel reminds me of those last couple weeks waiting for Cable and Parker to be born.

This is SUCH a big deal.
