Whatcha Been Doin'?...Aw, Not Much

I'm doing good...It's Election Day Eve, and I'm already getting a post in. Okay, so there's this event taking place, I'm not sure if you've heard about it, it Election Day. If I'm not already doing it, remind me to crawl under a rock for the whole day and maybe 1/2 of Wednesday. I so don't want to hear one thing about the election tomorrow or I will have a mental break down. (Reminder, get meds) The big one of course being Prop. 8. The boys have gotten involved in holding signs and had a few fingers thrown their way as well as some choice words but they also got support to help balance things out. Travis and Wyatt are fasting today (news they got via a text message) and after school they want to hold signs again. I like their enthusiasm. Of course, news is out about Steve Young and his wife with their sizable donation to No on 8. Can you say "Deep Doo Doo"? Merlin assures me its the wifes stance, not Steves, which could only mean either trouble with the church and its members or trouble at home. I must say I think he needs to come out and do and say a little more than he has in his own defense. It's quite the pickle, Dick!

CTW went to the Youth Fall Festival on Thursday night and had a blast! They said it was so fun! I have zero pictures of my kids in costumes...TW went straight from football practice in the football stuff, so duh, they went as football players. Chad stopped at Target to pick up some gold leggings....I have no idea. I hope there are pictures somewhere of whatever he was. He did the same thing on Halloween night only that time he borrowed angel wings to go with the gold leggings. Whatever! Wyatt played a game at the Festival called Fear Factor and came home with a sticker saying he survived Fear Factor. He had to: 1. eat dried squid 2. eat rawfish 3. drink a cup of vinegar 4. swallow wasabi and 5. eat a slice of jalapeno pepper. Just like eating moms home cooking....no problem! I'm so glad there weren't any bugs harmed in the process of the game. Friday night, all 3 were off with friends and seemed to have had a great time. I was home waiting for the parade of trick or treaters and the parade never arrived. So much candy, so much free time - what to do?

Wednesday afternoon/evening, I met Kelli at the freeway where she handed off Davis and Juliet to me to watch for one night and all day Thursday. After unloading the Uhaul with their belongings for the NIGHT, we headed home. Juliet was all smiles and it took Davis just a little while to warm up but he did and it was fun. I had to run off to do board of reviews at the church, so Merlin was in charge. Only problem was, his granddaughter didn't want to go to him. She eventually calmed and I was able to go. She was down for the night when I got home and Davis went to bed with zero problems. They both slept til 7:30 the next am. I like that program. I entered Juliets room to release her from the cage and BAMMMM! What.a.stench.! When you're away from that for years and years and get a whiff later.....woozy! Not good! I cleaned her up and then proceeded to watch 5 hours of cartoons. Those were the days! I then took them to RSM lake, we fed the geese and ducks, got lunch at Mickey D's and headed home instead of watching Chad at his XC meet. No problem. It was alot of fun but also kind of tiring - always on guard. Kelli had fun at Lukes State Farm graduation and seeing her friend at the hospital delivering her baby, the kids survived Grandma Riki, so everyones a winner!
