Two years of waiting. Two years of debating. Two years of t.v. ads. Two years of speeches. Two years of mud-slinging. Two years of lying. Two years of historical moments. And it all culminates today. After waiting for about 50 minutes in a line, with my one year old son in a stroller eating Cheerios, while trying to read "Young Patriots" (great read!), I entered the card board box, and officially voted. And I left, proudly wearing an "I Voted" sticker. Hopefully in the next 24 hours we will see an end to this election, and have our next President chosen. My daughter's pre-K class had a mock-election, a ballot box with two crayons and pictures of the candidates, and they received the "I Voted" sticker as well. When she got in the car she announced that she voted for John McCain, not "Rock Obama". And I asked her who won, she said "Mom, I voted for the winner. John McCain!" We'll see if this pre-K class represents the country...or just Oklahoma. I hope I voted for the winner also!
Did you vote?
Did you have anything interesting happen?

Yes I did. Will it matter much here in my state, probably not. At least I'm right in my heart.
When the children asked who I would vote for I asked them first who they would vote for. Both said McCain. When I asked why, Butter she said she didn't like chocolate chips.(She's 5) I said "What do you mean?"
"Well, I don't like chocolate chips, I want M&M's on my cookie."
"What cookie?"
"Whichever cookie gets to most votes, wins and that's the cookies we get to have at school. Chocolate chip is Obama and M&M is McCain. I want McCain to win because he is M&M's."
I'll take M&M's too please!
My husband and I voted and then headed over to Starbucks for our free coffees, which we exchanged for one small mocha frap.
After watching election results, that frap was the best part of the day!
