more sickness, but obama! and massage!

So today, the youngest threw up at the end of his nap. UGH. Just when I think he is getting well. It was a tough afternoon/evening. But tonight, a fellow mom of twins is here giving me and the hubby some well-deserved massage therapy. Very nice. And then I log on to check election returns and they've already called it for Obama. Yay!

If she lived in my town, we might be friends. At least, we'd be friends in the sense that I'm friends with the people I know who are infectious, bubbly, friendly, and overly prone to the use of colloquialisms. I have a high tolerance for this, having been raised in a part of the world that is inundated with slang, y'all. She's intelligent, warm, and downright bubbly. And she even has some familiar mannerisms, especially that wink. She talks about her kids and family a lot, but seems to have a really good balance between her work and family life, something I truly envy.

I want to like her, I really do. And I think I would, if she weren't the vice presidential nominee for the Republican Party. I'm glad Obama had the good sense to select O'Biden.

Now this is what I call exciting news.

And here is what a good friend of mine has to say about all these shenanigans. I would write something myself, but I couldn't have said it better than he did.

I can't remember ever feeling so excited about an election, except maybe the year my dad's boss ran for state representative and my brother and I got to "work" in his campaign.
