Campaigning

Well today is the day. We cast our votes this morning and the girls came with me to make sure I voted for Dad. I have gotten off at lunch every day to campaign and walked and knocked and passed out fliers, and gone with Dad to all his forums, presentations and debates. I know he has done a super job on the school board so I want to make sure I give my all. Philip helped A LOT and the girls have done their share, Alexander has helped between band and work when he could.
If dad wins, he'll stay on the school board and be voting to repair our schools and continue to work hard for the students and teachers. If he doesn't, we'll still be going to school board meetings but we'll have vacation days to take with our family. Since it's a relatively thankless job and only one person who does not live in this house has helped us campaign this time, we are absolutely exhausted and we are starting in on all the things we have put off for the past month... Dusting, cleaning out mom's closet (everything goes there when we have to clean up) and laundry. Airing pillows, washing sheets, all that stuff has just not gotten done. It is wonderful it's almost over.

It's amazing that when things are really bad you get all kinds of support to run against it; but if you're doing a great job and things are running well, everyone is too complacent. Well, regardless, we put up a good campaign and if you want a copy of Greg's forum, email me or give me a call! It's entertaining at least.
