It's Official..

HELL froze over today... as my husband stood in our, very short, 5 minute line, to vote. Yes, I said it. Tommy voted. Tommy is not a voter. He has his opinions but doesn't bother to vote. That is, until today.

I don't know if he saw that there were so many things at stake with this election, or it was quite possibly the fact that Jax is enamoured with poitics right now. Whatever the case, Jax was pleased as punch to hear that Mom and Dad voted, together, with Pudgie in tow.

I don't like the fact that I have had to explain so many things, at such extreme lengths, to my 8 year old son. Fortunately, Tommy and I are very open about the reality of things in this society so he was not shocked about the gay marriage issues or the fact that people no longer like our Sheriff.

Hopefully, the fact that I am letting that little boy sit by the television, drinking in every single bit of information, will be worth it. Jax knows exactly how Mom and Dad voted on every issue and which person we liked for different reasons. Hopefully he will not take losses on propositions or the president personally.

Whatever happens tonight, he knows he is watching history in the making and is proud that his parents were part of it.
