A new day and a new president!

I have to say... in our home we are very excited about the turn of events that happened in yesterdays history. It was literally history! And I am so proud to say that it was my very first time ever to vote, I voted for the right guys and he won! Yay! I think that this will be a good thing. People can make whatever accusations that they want but in the end, we needed a change.... it will be a good thing for our country to have a change. 8 freaking years of the guy who should have come out in the 10 gallon hat, spurs and a six shooter are coming to an end and I couldn't be happier for that.(I will thank Will for that little funny anecdote.) He may have done some things worth writing home about but in the long run he continued to make war and kill innocent people. I think that every few years you need to change it up and shake the nation to it's core.... HELLO OBAMA! Welcome to the presidency. I hope you do us proud.... we could use some goos old proud around here. And some honesty and some hope. You're it, make it happen!

So my wonderful 7 year old son was thrilled that Obama won. My 31 year old husband cried like a baby that Obama won. My ex-husband was clearly thrilled that history is in the making. And me, I am just happy for a change. A change I believe is for the better.

Rhiannon and I have our eye Dr. appt. tomorrow morning. We have to take Alanna to school and rush to the eye Dr. I then get to pay $80 for us both to see the Dr. And tell us we both need new glasses. Thanks for that Mr. I would have never known without his expertise that I'm like a blind bat and that my daughter is getting there too! She tried to hide it and trips over her own feet every other step! I just need the scrip. But no, I have to have our eyes puffed and dialated and then tested twice. Once we are done with that they will give us that magical piece of paper that will in the end cost me $100 for Rhiannon and $180 for me. Since we cannot afford glasses at all we will get Rhiannon's tomorrow b/c she now has none. Both pairs broke. Her regular pair and her older pair that she was wearing as back-up. So I have to find the $100 but my daughter comes first and we are determined for her to not go another day without glasses. We know where to get them inexpensive however that may mean waiting 2 weeks. I hate to do that to her but we need to be cost effective and do waht's right for her. We'll work it out. Then comes my turn. Maybe I will get glasses for Christmas! We shall see! Anyways.... that's our day in a nutshell!

Hugs and Love!
