11.4.08 plus some tidbits

.....It's that time of year again- voting day. I'm glad I voted last week- I hear the lines are atrocious this a.m. around town. The paper said 41% of registered voters in North Carolina had already voted in early voting. Crazy huh?


.....Ri's asleep in the car. Again. This time for an early nap. She woke at 5:00 a.m. so I am not surprised. Last night was the first night in over two months that I did not have to go in her room for something. It was quite a feat- considering lately she's been so high maintenance during the night.


......Mr. Mart's services were beautiful. Sad, but beautiful. He was buried close to our house in the most gorgeous cemetery I have ever seen. Driving in yesterday w/ the procession I felt so peaceful. Serene. We went over to the Mart's house for a party afterwards. Lots of people, yummy food and plenty of Tings (I hear this was Mr. Mart's drink of choice) floating around.


.....Jack and Ri had fun w/ their cousins. My poor mom was stuck watching them Sunday night and Monday while we were at the wake and funeral. She was a trooper, that's for sure. At one point she did tell me that she was glad she never had 4 kiddos of her own. I ditto that one, for sure.


.....We're heading down to Colulmbia this weekend to go to the USC/Arkanas game. Looking forward to it and hanging w/ some good friends we haven't seen in a while.


..... until next time....
