Small victories

[jules1614]

I voted last week so I thankfully don’t need to go today in the rain.

I tried to let ds2 CIO last night, I caved after 1.5 hrs. DS1 was my easy trick baby, 3 days of sleep training and we were good. Ds2 is going to give me grey hairs 😂

Waiting in line to vote. Way longer line than at midterms lol

I voted this morning and it was fantastic. I only had to wait in line for less than 10 minutes, which was good since my 3yo was with me and asking every question possible. My H stayed in the car with N and we traded out so he could vote. DS1 was running to the car and saying "It's all so exciting!" when we got done He was sad he couldn't go back in a 3rd time after he went in with H. I can't wait to put the kids to bed tonight and glue myself to the TV to watch results.

I was sooooo sick yesterday. I got everyone ready and dropped them at daycare but decided there was no way I could be at work. I stopped in and grabbed my Surface and went home to "work from home." I slept almost all day. I am still tired and weak but feel much better today.

After I voted ds3 got a sticker and someone asked him as we left "did you vote?" and he said "no, I just got a sticker" lol 😂

*waves*

H is still sick so I've been solo parenting a lot still and have basically hit the end of my rope/patience/whatever. N decided to wake up a bunch last night, including once for over an hour. But he was all smiles when we took him to vote  (thank God we got in and out before the rain started here!)

Today I will be living over on the politics board. We have a separate thread for during the day, and should be making a second tonight for returns, if anyone wants to come vent/discuss/etc!

It makes me excited! Dh said he had to wait like an hour this morning too. We have one seriously contested incumbent and one of our senators is up for reelection so it's a big election here.

I took both kids with me to vote this morning. Thankfully it wasn't too bad. We were there less than 30 minutes total and it's out of the way now.

I vacuumed (finally) and my cat has been glaring at me since. 🙄

Hello! I voted 2 weeks ago already. I’m at work and trying not to pump at all. I’m surprisingly not too uncomfortable, but it makes me very anxious.

I didn't pump at all yesterday when I was home sick.  By the time I was putting DS1 to bed at 7pm just having him laying on my chest caused a massive leakage problem...like all over through my bra and shirt.  I don't usually leak so that was a surprise.  Guess my body was done holding it in all day.

I voted first and then picked up the boys.

I worked from home this morning because SIL (who babysits for us) had to come late today. It was a nice morning and we went out to lunch. I probably should have gotten into the office sooner, but I'm just going to stay later than usual. Thankfully I have one of those big chicken pot pies from Costco so H can just put it in the oven when he gets home so I won't have to cook. And then we can walk over to our polling place and get our votes in! I've never had to wait in line before, so I will be surprised if that's the case!

I'm glad you are feeling better roloma!

Thank goodness for mail in ballots, I mailed mine in last week. I wish every state allowed for mail in voting!

I have a little over an hour left at work, but I am pretty much done, so I am just hanging out.

Hi, just sitting here watching the news. MH is getting extremely aggravated seeing them call certain ones with so few votes in lol. I brought work home and should be doing it but I think I'll be glued to the TV for awhile.

[blabbermouth]

Good luck down there, guys!

This going back to work thing is keeping me from hih 😣 today was good though, got to know the two guys I will be managing a bit better. My commute is going to suck. I live ten minutes from work, but daycare is out in one of the suburbs and on the route back in they are building a new interchange so the highway is a mess. We have a second location out that way so I stopped in there this morning, but I won't really be able to do that most days. My coworker said it took him an hour and fifteen minutes this morning, when it's normally about forty and in no traffic it's fifteen.

That's how hard it is to find daycare in my city! On the bright side, the baby is only in the car for ten or so minutes each way and driving without a baby in the backseat is very relaxing. I might need to start listening to some podcasts though?

Crapping myself over VA 7th district at the moment. It's stupid close.
