Let me just start off by saying that I had a bad bad day today. First of all, I went to school, which is never bad, but I was dead tired throughout the day because Mikaela and I are both sick which means neither of us are sleeping like we usually do.
Anyway, after school today I ate dinner at my mom's house with her, her boyfriend, and my brother. She watches Mikaela after work while I'm in school, so I had to stop anyway to get her, so it was nice to finally get a cooked meal instead of the TV dinners I've been eating recently. However, when I got home is when things really started to get to me.
First, my brother and I get out of my car and I left the keys in the ignition (turned off) and shut the drivers side door. I was walking around the car to get Mikaela out, and what happens? THE DOORS LOCK! WHAT?!?!!!! My daughter is in the car and the doors just locked automatically with nobody pressing a button?! Needless to say, I panicked. Thank goodness my grandpa was home and had his AAA card (again, mine was locked in the car) and I could use that to get a guy to come to get the door open. My brother tried the whole time to get the door open, putting a wire through the door and everything, but he just couldn't get it. Oh, and where are the spare keys you might ask? How bout my daughters father decided that he didn't want my family to have access to them, so gave them to his family! Like my family is horrible or something. I mean it is his car, but I'm driving it until he gets home from Iraq because when my grandmother passed away the car I had gotten from her and my grandfather he gave back to the dealership because he couldn't afford 2 car payments. So I was heated about that, to say the least. And upset, I mean my 5 month old was locked in the car, by no fault of anybody but the stupid car. I was so mad I just wanted to scream. It made me feel absolutely horrible! Now I will never ever leave the keys in the ignition again, even if it is just to get Mikaela out of the car. I had never had a car do that before, so I didn't even know it could happen.
Then, there is also this political season. I am all about people being political and being able to express their views, especially in my age bracket, considering we don't vote. And I'll put this out there .. yes, I am a Republican, and no, I do not agree with everything that every Republican does or on all their policies. However, some people can't seem to get that through their minds. And I am so sick of people looking at me like I am some kind of inferior person because I support John McCain. I am entitled to support whoever I want, just like you are entitled to support whoever you want. Don't tell me I'm stupid because of my beliefs!!!! UGHHH..that just bugs me beyond belief!
On a brighter note, I am trying to figure out what to dress Mikaela up as for Halloween? Any ideas out there??

Whit, That's horrible!I'm glad she's ok.I would be panicked too.Try to get some rest you have so much going on and it's hard.
And you shouldn't have to feel like you have to defend your political position. As an Independent, I do find I feel like I need to justify why I'm voting for a particular candidate also.

Prayers that things improve.
Reminds me of something I accidentally did one time. I was home with my son and he was very young like your daughter and I went out to check the mail and accidentally locked myself out of the house with my baby inside. I could not get back in. I had to break a window to get back in. Needless to say my ex wasn't happy.

As for Halloween, sorry, but, I have no ideas.
Don't let the political hoo-ha get you down. I also support McCain Palin, as do a lot of people. We don't feel a need to throw it in everyone's faces like the Obama folks do. Fear is a powerful motivator and they are very aggressive in expressing it.
hang in there... God bless...
your baby is soooo beautiful... love the new icon...
since the date you posted this.
In fact, I am trying to become more active here... I think I'm suffering from a classic case of Gather burnout so I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to return your comment favor.
Have a nice day!
... it could have been raining (-;
