So I didn't vote today. Not for some big political reason, not as a statement on the two men voting for governor, it is not a rejection of one political party or another....
I honestly forgot.
Two years ago this would have been my highest priority. I would have been there before work and worn my "I Voted" sticker proudly. However being a foster parent has blinded me to the outside world and I am forgetting to see the forest for my two little trees.
I talk a lot about how the girls are adjusting (and I do my own fair share of whining), but I am here to say for sure... we have to make adjustments too.
And it is hard.
And you end up doing things that go against your values like not voting.
And then you whine about your life on the internet.
And then you remember that you are taking two 6 year olds who have been abused, traumitized, and nearly starved to Disney world next week.
And things look a little better. :)
