Yep, I was bonafide worried that Obama would lose... possibly the cause of my anxiety for the past few months. But after the networks projected Obama as the winner and Romney finally conceded, I slept so well last night. And I honestly had no intentions of writing about the election on my blog. I shared my thoughts on Twitter and my personal Facebook and was going to leave it at that.
And then I found Duke texting Hubby this: Hi daddy it was awesome last night
Imagine that. Our 6 year old actually enjoyed the night we had. It consisted of waiting for Daddy to get home from work at 4:30pm, rush over to our local polling place, head back home to watch the election returns and coverage, wait for Romney's concession speech and finally hear our 44nd President of the United States Barack Obama's victory speech.
Don't underestimate your children. They have a voice. Take the time to listen to them.
Hubby and I high-fived. I got teary eyed. All parties aside (even though my family is born and bred Democrats to the core.)
I voted for women's rights, healthcare and equality.
I can not describe how my mom is always worried about her health insurance since she was diagnosed with cancer in 2010. She stresses so much about not having coverage if she ever decides to transfer jobs or move back to California because of her "pre-existing condition". Under Obamacare, she is covered NO MATTER WHAT. I am relieved that this is an option for her now.
Whoever you voted for and whatever you believe in - let the man do his job these next four years.
