I Voted. Go Me!

"UP FROM THE GRAVE SHE AROSE!!!"....

I'M ALIVE!!! Today, I am a brand new woman! I woke up feeling pretty icky, with the snots and the green boogy monsters coming out of my nose and throat (you didn't need to know that? Oh. sorry.) So yeah. I was feelin' a bit groggy this morning, but once I finished my morning orange spice tea with honey, I was feeling much better and was ready to go teach music to my cute 4 and 5 year olds. They're precious :)

After I taught this morning, I VOTED!

I hope everyone got a chance to get out there and vote today! Thankfully, the church that I voted at was right around the corner of my house. If it wasn't raining all day, I would have walked there. I also took this really pretty (not) picture of me with my "I voted" sticker, but the uploading isn't working. I think that's the blogging world telling me that picture is too scary for public viewing. Maybe it'll work and I'll show you tomorrow. But probably not. Anyhoo, please go vote! And if you don't vote, then DO NOT complain that your opinion isn't heard about things going on in the world these days, because voting is your chance to have your voice heard. I'm certainly not "Little Miss Politics" but I do think it is important to get out there and vote. So do it. I think there's still time.

Exhausted:

After I voted, I went to the gym to try to get in a little bit of exercise since I've been laying down for the past 48 hours. Well. That was rough. I work out about 6 days a week, and I took off only 2 days. 2 DAYS! That's it! You woulda thought I hadn't worked out in weeks because I was so exhausted. Puking must really take it outa you, I guess. Needless to say, it was a weak workout. I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes at 4 miles and hour...that was tough. Then I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes. Slowly. I was just pooped. So I listened to my body and I stopped. I need to take it day by day and step by step. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Crybaby Abby:

I don't know if it's because I'm a woman or that I'm getting over an illness or that I'm always emotional or that I'm just sensitive...I don't know...but I've cried a lot the past couple days. Not really sure why! Here are a few things I've cried about:

• Throwing up. I cried and cried and cried. Jamie was so good to me. He hugged me and played with my hair and was the best caretaker ever. And I just cried. And was sick.
• I cried watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians. WHAT?!?! Who cries over those crazies?! I don't even know what it was about, but I was watching it and it made me emotional!
• I cried watching Little People Big World. TWICE!! During one episode, one of Zach's LP friend was saying goodbye to his dad for a few months who was going to Iraq for a deployment. I wept. The other episode was when Mike and Jacob got hurt by the pumpkin catapult thing. Why that made me cry? You got me. I was a mess.

• This morning, I was driving to school and heard Carrie Underwood's song, "Jesus, Take the Wheel". I cried. It was pouring rain. I hate driving in the rain. And I really needed Jesus to drive me to school, because my last little wreck was in the rain. It scares me. I cried. Again.

• And lastly. I was at the gym watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Big mistake. That show always makes me cry. Well. I sobbed. At the gym. Pedaling slowly on the stationary bike. By myself. Like a loser. Maybe that's why my workout was so ineffective. I was weeping!!!! I AM my mother's child after all.

Someone just stop me while I'm behind already!!!

Anyways. Jamie is on his way home and I can't wait to hug and kiss his face!

I hope your Tuesday has been TERRIFIC!!! And that you haven't cried at much as me...or at all.

Have a great night! Much much love! God Bless!
