Ready for this damned special election to be over already.
Watching local news is a pain because every other ad is a political ad. I've just seen two Scott Brown and *four* Martha Coakley ads in the last commercial break. I spent a long time at my parent's house this weekend and their phone is ringing off the hook - twice while I was there it was a pre-recorded message from former President Bill Clinton, once it was President Obama amongst family and friends of Scott Brown. We finally had to stop answering the phone.
I've answered the phone at home twice (but apparently I don't rate President Obama, or former President Clinton), once from Scott Brown's and once from Martha Coakley's people who wanted to remind me to vote on Tuesday. And ask me how I am voting. I told them both the same thing. Yes, I am voting, but no, I will not share who I am voting *for* because it is none of your business. I know it because I am registered unenrolled. And I know both my parents are registered unenrolled. It is like having a massive bulls-eye target on our backs... "TRY TO SWAY ME TO DRINK YOUR KOOL-AID!"
Tuesday can't come soon enough.
So maybe I am just grumpy. Or feeling like being a little bitch. Or maybe it is because I got my period today, But I am so ready for this stupid election to be over.
But otherwise, this weekend was a good one. My mom's birthday was Saturday, so my dad put together a small family birthday party for her. Of course, he neglected to actually *invite* me to the party before he called to see if I could come early to help him set up. When I had to admit I couldn't come EARLY if I didn't know to come at all. Oy.
My younger niece, B, wasn't feeling well at all, so she went home when my brother and sister-in-law took L home for a nap. G stayed and played with my old Fisher-Price castle and town. After I had to leave, G and my mom continued to play, and made letters for the mail truck to deliver to the town (the letters were probably all lost when I was a child).
I saw my folks again today - my mom and I went shopping after lunch, which was lovely, and we should do more often. I think my dad was a little miffed I went instead of him, but my mom said he would not have wandered as we did. My dad is a real goal-oriented shopper. My mom, once you actually get her to go out to a shopping center, is as likely to wander and be a hunter-gatherer type of shopper. We went to look at clothes for her, and wound up getting two practical items for her kitchen. Par for the course with Mom, but my dad wouldn't have had the patience to let her search out anything that caught her eye.
It started to rain as I was leaving my parent's house, and it has been intensifying. I understand we're expecting 4 to 8 inches by tomorrow afternoon. Grumpy.
