I am a semi- political person. I don’t talk politics on this blog, well because it would probably bore you to tears, offend you or bore me to tears.

But I pay attention to elections, watch an occasional debate, vote in every election and even slap on an occasional bumper sticker. Ok, so no to the bumper sticker. Don’t you always feel a little bit sad for people who have election bumper stickers from the loser like three elections ago? Sometimes you just need to let things go.

I grew up in Iowa. Land of elections. Actually land of robo calls and constant negative ads. So it is refreshing to live in Michigan where we only have to pay attention if I chose too. And this year. Ugh. It is a “do I have to???” kind of year.

When there are no good choices to be found do you:

a) write in a candidate (among this group, Elmo is looking pretty qualified)

b) skip voting in the election and turn in your “true American” card

c) get all of your rich friends to pitch in and buy and island you can go live on and govern yourselves

What will you be doing come November? (oh my WORD we still have 10 months of this!!)

There is and adorable but sick little dude in my bed that is preventing me from posting right now. I can’t remember the last time one of my kiddos had a fever so I am grateful for that, but a little bummed that I was actually going to head back to the gym tomorrow after a long hiatus and that won’t be happening.

Wait, I am bummed about not being able to go to the gym? Man, now I am off to take my temperature…..
