Super-sick Tuesday.
Tags:Today, in our quarantined little house (Simon has definitely joined Chris with the flu - I am still hanging on to health), we are definitely paying attention to what is going on around the country. Lots of checking things out online and switching back and forth between CNN and Fox News (gotta have a bit of both sides).
It is tremendously exciting to see so many people involved in the process. So many people voting rather than staying home; being a part of the entire process. Regardless of who you are supporting it is so cool to see so many people engaged rather than apathetic.
Some of you may remember that we had the opportunity to meet Barack Obama back in September. I continue to be inspired by him and am definitely supporting him (even though our primary is not until May 20th: grumble) and cheering him on today.
Many of you may have already seen this "yes we can" video. It's the words and the sentiment and the passion that I love. If you want to see the actual words from the speech go here (click the "about this video" tab).
If you have the opportunity in your state today, go vote.

Hoping your family gets better soon!!! The flu just sucks. Praying you don't get it yourself.
I haven't kept track today of what has been going on but I'm crossing my fingers that Obama is taking the lead..=)

I live in England, where politics are uninspiring. Where we are so use to seeing our politicians hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons. I don't think in this country we will ever have the same level of passion that Americans seem to have about the people running to lead their country.
I can't tell you how powerful I found that video. That is such a strong message, that goes a lot further than politics, its a message for life!
Hope your boys feel better soon.

i received this video from a friend the other day and hadn't heard the speech. He reminds me so much of footage I have seen of MLK. He is a brilliant and inspiring man. I am keeping my fingers crossed in SC that WE CAN!
Take care of you and your family!

Although we did not have a primary yesterday, I am so excited that it is possible that either a black man or a woman may be elected president in my lifetime. I remember growing up and learning about the presidents and one of my teachers hopefully saying that one day, it will not just be white men that are president. I think that this time is now!

My husband and I voted for Obama yesterday. So many thoughts and emotions ... let the momentum build. He can do this, we can do this. I look at my husband, a black man and then I look at my sons... my beautiful multi-racial sons and I think now is the future, now is time. Let all of us be judged by the content of our characters... let the dream turn into our today.
