I am anxious, nervous and excited. I’m sick that this election is boiling down to a few states. The Ohio polls are mixed, but all are close. The Wisconsin polls are a little less mixed but there are two results that are tied, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility for Kerry to…

Yesterday and this morning, I was pure mom. I cleaned house. I went grocery shopping. I made apple pie. You can’t get much more mom than that. This morning, though, I put a roast in the crock pot–so I guess you can get more mom. Sometimes I think that it would be okay to be…

The Electoral College bugs me. I understand why it’s there–to prevent the masses from being swayed too easily by say, beer and twinkies if you vote for me. However, it doesn’t really assure a fair election. Witness 2000. Gore won the popular vote, the electoral vote was contested and still, we ended up with Bush…

If you’re an academic who gets embroiled in budget issues, go read Tim Burke’s discussion of fighting for a living wage for staff members at Swarthmore college. As a staff member at a nearby college, I found it quite interesting. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the…

Once again, let me just point you to Bitch, Ph.D. who has some great links for your political news. I haven’t made it through enough coffee yet to find my own. I’m working on a whole electoral college thing. Keep checking. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for…

I am the precinct Minority Inspector, not just a poll watcher. I spent last night with the neighborhood democrats, all of whom are in their 50s and 60s. I really felt like I was being handed the torch. I am positively giddy to be so involved in the election process. I get to run off…

I’m bummed, but I got stuck doing mom stuff and was too tired to fight it, so I’m at home and not campaigning for Kerry in the city. I feel bad, but there just was suddenly too much going on all at once and I couldn’t deal. But . . . I am getting my…

If you are a single parent, I worship you. I have been on my own since last Friday and I’m dying. I suppose I’d get used to it if I had to do this all the time, but I don’t, so I’m pooped. Parenting is the one area where Mr. Geekymom actually wins points. He…

I’m bored with my template already. I’m too lazy to make my own since I do a lot of html/css at work. Can’t find any free ones I like. Maybe this weekend I’ll make something. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

BBC Newshour reported on the soccer mom/security mom issue. I usually admire the BBC, but this report was so shallow. I’m really starting to get offended by all of this–as if women can be categorized somehow. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
