I can’t believe I didn’t post about this the other day, but on Wednesday afternoon my husband and I went to the early voting station near our house and turned in our votes for the November 4th election. It was only the third day of early voting in our area but apparently I was number 536 to vote! Which is amazing to me.

I was also surprised to see how chipper everyone at the voting office was, all the workers were joking around. They even took my stuff from me and helped me fill it out given the munchkin didn’t want to wait outside but didn’t want to play or do anything but sit in my lap and complain. Our original plan had been that my husband would vote and then he would take the munchkin and I would go in and vote, but munchkin wanted to see hubbie so I was standing in the doorway, and then asked if I could fill out my first paperwork while I was waiting so that I could get done fairly quickly.

Anyway, the workers brought me a chair and set me up and took my paperwork and brought me my ballot and then suggested they put a chair over by one of the security screens and I could sit and vote with the munchkin still snuggled up in my lap, so, hey, that works, right?

They gave him an “I Voted!” sticker too which helped to improve his mood. I told him he would understand more about the importance of what just went on when he was older, I mean heck it took me until I was in my twenties to really get the whole thing.
