It is today that we begin a new chapter in America. Good, Bad, Happy, Excited or Disappointed today is a big day. I know many are worried about our new choice of president. But there are also many, like me who are excited. I don't know if Obama is going to be able to "Save America" but I am so relieved to have him in office with a wonderfully diverse group of individuals surrounding him in his cabinet and democratic peers in the house and senate. I for one believe that we need a change from our current ways of thinking and feel that Obama can do this. I am going to celebrate. I am going to hope for a peaceful transfer of power. I am going to watch on tv this historically beautiful moment. I am going to share with my children what this represents. And I am going to pray that he does as he says and that change is coming.

. . . empty your backpack and leave all its contents on the floor?
. . . put mittens in the basket when the floor next to it is more convenient?
. . .set the alarm for 5:30 when you have no intention of waking up til 6:30?
. . . wave me thru when you Mr Left Turn are blocking the only lane open?
. . . make your bed when it is just going to get messy again?
. . . fold laundry when you can just rifle through the piles(mountains?)?
. . . shovel the walks if it is still snowing?
. . . hang your coat up when you could just drop it on the floor?
. . . walk on the path mom shoveled when you could tromp through the drifts?
. . . put your shoes away in the same spot where you could easily find them?
. . . paint your nails if your going to do dishes?
. . . take a shower if you just had a bath on Sunday(it's Friday)?
. . . talk when you can yell?
. . . get along when you can nit-pick?
. . . put your bowl in the sink when mom could do it?
. . . sit inside when you could guarantee front seat by waiting in the car 30 min early?
