The grump and voter registration

Okay, I know the two don't go together, unless voter registration makes you grumpy. I just know I have mentioned Tess's "bad" days and wanted you to witness the grumpiness.

Here is Tess giving me the stink eye for putting her in the swing. Simply because I was tired of holding her and I wanted to eat a sandwich. Ignore the junk on the floor. I need a bookshelf for this room. Bad.

Amazing!!! Two minutes later, she was asleep! No wonder she kept fussing. Yay! Now, I can finish my sandwich, clean the living room, do some more laundry....
Ten minutes later....
So much for doing anything beyond finishing my sandwich. And, this explains why it is 3 o clock in the afternoon and I am still in my pajamas. Thank goodness the kids can dress themselves. And now, she sleeps. On my lap. As usual. Which limits my movement. Obviously.

Don't forget to register to vote if you're not already registered. Many state deadlines are in the next few days, including Ohio's, which is Monday, Oct 6. You can check out your state deadline here Rock the Vote

And, if you're a woman, and you need a reason to vote, go borrow this movie from your local library.

After seeing what these women suffered through in order to gain the right to vote, no excuse is good enough to abuse that right.

This is an important and historical election. Vote responsibly.


You guessed

I guess you guys are too smart for me. Or, I didn't disguise the pony tail well enough. I was going to give you a hint, like this..... The hint was the long hair, not the round belly. Uh no, that's not what's going on. I did chop my hair off. I had to take a little bit more than I wanted to, in order to donate it to Locks of Love . They require 10 inches, so we chopped off 11 inches since I had layers. I was hoping it would be a couple inches longer than shoulder length, but, oh well. Unfortunately, my hair is naturally curly, so I still have to straighten it to get to this point. But, since it's not so long, it doesn't take near as long.
My long hair was just starting to get on my nerves. Having to switch sides through the night to nurse, I'd find myself pulling my hair out from under me. I'd have to pull it back to keep Tess from tugging on it, and that was just accidently. I know it would have been 100x worse once she figured out how to pull it intentionally.
I did like my long hair when I could get it to do what I wanted it to. So , I debtated long and hard before making a decision, but, it was time for a change.
