NoJoMo Day 4-The fear of voting

Hell.  I’m actually feeling nervous about voting.  WHY?  You have to ask… I don’t know.  I know it began a little after the incident with my mom.  Actually, I had been feeling like NOT voting at all after that happened, and I told myself you can’t let her do that to you.  But she did a number on me, that is for sure.  Then last night…well, my doggone info packet went missing, so I can’t take my sample ballot or anything, and last night on the news they suggested that, so a person (like me, dammit!) wouldn’t hold up lines!  And I’ve just never done this before!  I hate to admit it, but I feel completely stupid. 

Well, that was easy.  I went, and it was actually pretty quiet, I only had a couple of people in front of me.  In fact, I realized that the voting booth behind me was open, and the guy in front of me didn’t want it.  I was able to take my time and read through the props (I hadn’t gotten a good chance to do that before… I know, I know.  I had about half of them decided on.)

LOL, Shabree says she voted "for the white guy."  When asked why, "Because he likes hot dogs and has a book I might like to read."  Evidently McCain wrote a children’s book?  I had no idea.  Well, her grandma will be proud!  Argh.  Funny thing is, I know my sister in law voted for Obama, she sent me an email from his camp telling everyone to vote today. 

On my way out, school was getting out, so I ended up walking Syd and Shabree home (who were on their bikes without helmets!  I was not very happy, and they yelled at me that their daddy told them they could.  But not tomorrow.  Gees.) 

Well, that was about the only interesting thing that happened to me today.  Jerry took my I voted sticker so he could get a coffee from Starbucks.  Cheater.  Well, it’s not like *I* will drink a coffee.  Still.  Okay, whatever.  It doesn’t matter.  He can have my coffee.  Now if it was a carmel apple cider, we’d be talking!

I’m exhausted, mostly from getting up at 7:45 after going to sleep at 2.  And perhaps a BIT of all this emotional garbage I’ve been put through and have put myself through.  Gosh, I want that carmel apple cider now… I get my WIC checks in a couple of days, I’m going to get apple juice, Jerry will make me a carmel apple cider at home.  🙂  I think I WON’T get any grape juice this time around.  We have 8 bottles of grape juice, 1 purple, 4 red, and 3 white.  YIKES!  Well, maybe I’ll get a couple of bottles, and get 2 purple grape juices.  I also have something like 2 bottles of pineapple juice, which I’m pretty much saving for Thanksgiving, to use in drinks. 

Well, I’m pumping, and I definitely have had a supply drop.  I’m getting half an ounce after an hour on the right side, and an ounce after two or maybe even 3 hours on the right side.   Dang.  I’m doing what I can to bring the supply back up.  It takes a couple of days though.  Guess I’d better brew myself up some tea.  I’ve also started taking Reglan again.  And I’ll eat some oatmeal, and take the metamucil.  Hopefully I can bring the milk supply back up without too much trouble.  I think I’ll be fine.  Okay, affirming my milk supply IS coming up.

I guess I’ll get this posted.  I want to read my faves.
