Election Night Update On Us.

We had a busy day with MOPS this morning, then I voted, then I had to finish my final homework assignment. Tomorrow I will take part in a IM meeting and by 2:00 I should know if I have a chance at employment. Oh, some companies are hiring, so let's not be pessimistic.

So, speaking of pessimism. Those that know us know we, especially Dave, are into politics. So as I was showering this morning. I do my best thinking in the shower. :) I remembered a conversation I had with a friend that predicted rioting if Obama lost. I was not so sure. Then I heard it again on Glenn Beck's talk show. So, I started thinking about it. Why is it that the war hating, compassionate democrat supporters riot if he loses? Don't they love peace? And what would be the riot against? More of the same? More of the same is the status quo at this point.

If Obama wins it will be a different America. One I fear will be worse. Will I riot if he wins? No. But I am in support of the War on Terrorism. The difference is that I support fighting against those that are terrorists. I don't fight my fellow Americans due to difference in opinion. I love my fellow Americans.

So tonight we will be online and watching TV and see how this all shakes out.

We have been quite busy. Sunday Zach started with the same cold Asher, Dave and I have been fighting. By bedtime his fever was 101.8. I cooled him down with a cool bath and Motrin. I made a same day appt on Monday afternoon. They didn't help me a bit and sent me to Children's Hospital ER in St. Louis. They said the cold can lead to a sacrificed immune system which can lead to numerous infections that could turn deadly quickly. So that freaked me out. I had to pass about 10 hospitals to get there. I only had to wait an hour and a half in the waiting room. And then it took about 1/2 hour to get him checked out and chest x-rays to check for pneumonia. He checked out fine. He continues to be very congested which makes nursing difficult, but he doesn't have much of a fever.

On top of the homework assignment due today. I had my MOPS newsletter due to the church yesterday. And I had to review my classmates assignments from last week. So it was just so much to do this last week.

The rest of the week will be busy as well. Tomorrow I have my IM meeting. If I am chosen for a contract position I will have a phone conference at 2pm. Asher also has Speech Therapy during this time. Our dishwasher is leaking so I will have to call the repair guy again and get him here ASAP. Thursday Dave leaves for 4 days. Thankfully he is getting some groceries on the way home tonight. The appts don't stop there. Friday Asher has therapy again. Friday night we are in a church group and I emailed to let them know we won't be there. I have to hire a babysitter and I am only in the room for about 1/2 the time anyways so why go? I don't know what is going on this weekend.

UPDATE: Well, it is almost midnight. And I think I am in denial. It is some sort of fear. The biggest fear I have is the strong likelihood that Obama will be able to choose Supreme Court Justices. He is the most radical in his support of abortion. Partial Birth Abortion is OK. And no medical treatment for babies that survive a gruesome abortion attempt. I am sad for the unborn. Not even a chance at life. The only thing the news is saying is he is the first black President. There are so many larger issues than that! Of course I believe a black person can be President. And I would rather take the chances and pull the name of any black man or woman in the entire country. So, I need to calm down. God has a plan in this. We aren't even sure he is a native born American. I wonder what will happen if we really discover he is Kenyan. How embarrassing for the majority of Americans! How many people voted and don't know who he is? Oh, I got to calm down and get some sleep.

Relax my friend...God is in control, not man. God knew that Obama would be the person in charge of our country at this time. Our strength comes from God alone...not man.
