I firmly believe that if you do not choose to exercise your right to vote - then you forfeit your right to complain about what the government/elected officials choose to do.
Two of the other issues we had to vote on today was re: whether or not our city should keep fluoridating our water (I voted "NO") and on whether or not our city and our adjoining city should talk about possible amalgamation (I voted "NO").
Tonight I am attending part 1 of 2 of a CPR training session. I am feeling anxious about participating but I will overcome my anxiety and do it!
It's actually quite a busy week for me.
Monday and Tuesday night - CPR training. Wednesday morning - meeting at Son's school. Wednesday night - boot camp. Thursday night - meeting. And Friday night Hubs is off to his parents' place while I stay home with Baby Girl and Son, since he is spending the day with Step-daughter on Saturday.
The issue is because Sunday is Halloween. Baby Girl's first Halloween. If we had Step-Daughter here this weekend, our concern is on returning her home (2.5 hrs drive from here with minimal traffic, usually 3 hrs) and then getting back here for Son and Baby Girl.
Whereas Step-Daughter's mother is concerned merely with what time we would have Step-Daughter back because Step-Daughter has a half-brother at her mom's house who will be having his first Halloween this year (he is 3 weeks younger than our Baby Girl).
So it ended up, after some other BS, that Hubs would just go to see Step-Daughter this weekend instead of her coming here.
That means that those of us staying home don't get to see Step-Daughter, MIL and FIL, and Nanny which is a bummer, but it is what it is.
love the new look of your blog!
ReplyDeleteAnd SO proud of you for taking the CPR class, as I know how you feel about social situations. Still, you're not letting it rule you and that is fantastic. I know you'll do great.
Thank you! I am still feeling a bit queasy re: CPR but I'm going anyway. It should be a fairly small class (16 ppl tops I've heard) so I should be OK.
ReplyDeleteRe: blog changes - Thanks! I was trying to find something that I thought was a bit easier to read but I couldn't find a free downloadable template that I really liked so I went for this instead.
I didn't get to vote as I ended up in Ottawa at the last minute. My vote wouldn't have mattered as my guy didn't win :(
