Election Day. Election day was on Tuesday. We had one very heated Bond<\/a> on our local ballot. I’m not joking when I say how divided this made our city. It was crazy. There was a group of us that were seriously about to quit the internet. That being said, the bond did not pass so maybe we can all get along and find a more reasonable solution.<\/p>\n I’m truly scared of how crazy everyone will become during the presidential election next year.<\/p>\n ||TWO||<\/strong><\/p>\n William and Charlie both have eye doctor appointments today. Will thinks his vision has changed from last year, he said his eyes have been blurry even with his glasses. I don’t think I can remember the last time Charlie went to the eye doctor. I guess we will see. Let’s hope for NO change. We are at least using the optomap so they can track any changes. My mom has a history of glaucoma and cataracts, so vision problems scare me. Not to mention our problems with Nathan.<\/p>\n ||THREE||<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucas was sick for 3 days. Just a fever. No other symptoms. It was a different dynamic having him home from school. I kept fighting my own little battle to take him to the doctor – or not.<\/p>\n Surely it was just viral and we would have to wait it out anyways. I hate when kids are sick and have NO other symptoms. Nathan had something similar last week. Charlie took him to the doctor and I felt like an idiot. He had been tugging on his ear and rubbing his throat. Of course I thought it was something major.<\/p>\n Speaking of everyone getting sick. I think we need to get flu shots ASAP. Please hold so I check when the next flu clinic is RIGHT THIS MINUTE.<\/p>\n ||FOUR||<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest on my step dad is not very good. His cancer continues to spread and he feels more and more miserable every day. I wish I could take the pain and fear away. I’m so scared for him. There isn’t much they can do at this point. We just wait. I do not look forward to the day I have to deliver bad news to my boys. Especially Lucas. He worships the ground Leon walks on.<\/p>\n ||FIVE||<\/strong><\/p>\n Let’s talk about my eating habits. Oh dear. They are so terrible. I try and I try to eat healthy and then I don’t. My current diet is that of a 10 year old boy. I’m serious. I can not give up white bread. And chocolate? It’s really sad.<\/p>\n I am going to take baby steps to change things. First up is water. I must drink more water. I don’t drink much in the way of soda, so I’m not trying to replace what I drink. I just need to drink. I’m probably dehydrated on a regular basis.<\/p>\n Second is alcohol. Charlie and I got in a terrible habit of drinking a glass of wine (or two) before bed. We have already made the switch to a nightly tea so that’s a push in the right direction.<\/p>\n This has been an abnormal week, and I am glad it’s over. I hate to rush life but some days are just …. more stressful than others. ||ONE|| Election Day. Election day was on Tuesday. We had one very heated Bond on our local ballot.
