why we aren't voting

megan and chris inspired me to do this post with their one about why they are voting for mc cain. we aren't voting for a few reasons.

*we didn't make it to the license branch to change our license and register to vote in time. it was within days!
*i for one can't make up my mind about who i would vote for. i have liked parts of each campaign, but there isn't one that i totally love and not one that i totally hate.
*with the history of politics, we feel that even if we voted, our vote doesn't really count because when the politician gets into office, he/she doesn't follow through on promises they made.
* we voted for george bush 4 and 8 years ago and now we feel guilty for killing all of the men and women who have fought their last fight in iraq. we feel that had we changed our vote, that we wouldn't be part of the blame that some of those deaths occured. we know that our one vote isn't going to be the one that makes or breaks the election, but we do feel a little guilty for helping put the man in office who made the call to go to war. a war that never should have happened.
*we haven't been in tune with the election as much as we would have liked with our move and all that has been going on.
so there you have it. our "excuses"

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems.

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
