What's up with everyone as we near the end of this week? Anything to celebrate, or struggles you want to get off your chest? How about comments and thoughts on the USA presidential debate and its aftermath. Let's chat!

I've been pretty MIA this week bc work is a bit crazy. The company is only 90 days old and we've got a big deal forming so that's awesome, but it cuts down on my internet time.
I woke up this morning to a photo of a cousin on Facebook sporting a trump/pence shirt. I'm not surprised but it still hurts. Also, I have a few other family Trump supporters and we definitely did not watch the same debate. That's the fundamental problem with this whole thing. Our biases are just not going to allow much wiggle room. I know they're on the wrong side of history but it's still fascinating that they don't understand why Trump is a sorry excuse for a human, and cannot in any way shape or form become the USA's president. Ugh.

Lots of packing (M and I leave tomorrow morning), baby snuggling (teething?), cleaning/tidying (love coming home to a clean house but this way it's less for CET to have to do), and a few errands happening over here.
I'm not too involved with this election cycle but I can't believe he is a candidate and people are voting for him. It's wild! I have friends who are and we've had conversations (mainly CET) with people who aren't Trump fans but also aren't Hillary supporters but can't explain why. Yellow dog democrats over here but luckily we'e a fan. #WereWithHer
I rarely comment on politics unless I know I'm in a crowd that will agree.

Ugh yeah this election is going to be nuts. Fortunately most people in my life are with Hillary but I have 2 close friends who aren't and I simply cannot talk with them about politics. We even got into it on fb which I just can't stand! Because no one is going to convince the other to change their mind so why try?! Also my aunt is a big Trump supporter for stupid reasons but we never talk politics anyway so it's ok.
Anyway I had the longest week I've had in a while but now have a 5 day weekend and cannot wait to relax!!! I still have a ton of work to do but going to go to a country fair Saturday so that will be fun!

I have made a very conscious decision not to post anything political on FB. 99.9% of my friends are pro Hilary, but a couple of HS friends and all of L's family are very pro Trump (or rather,anti-Hilary) and damn proud of it. It infuriates me to no end. It isn't a Republican vs Democrat issue, it is a he is a horrible human issue.
This weekend is going to be busy. G has swim practice tonight from 7-8 (since he didn't have it last Sunday due to the pool being closed.) Tomorrow C supposedly has a soccer game (it has been raining all week) and we are in charge of snack. Kids are going to Parents Night Out while L and I go to a movie and dinner. Sunday G has a swim meet from 8-1. Oof. Errands, get ready for the week, and maybe L will take the kids to see a movie they have been wanting to see.

I'm in my last college course to finish my bachelor's degree and everything has to be completed by October 16. DW even planned time this weekend for me to go to the library alone to sort it all out! Send all the good vibes! I'm limping to the finish line!

Guys TJs has gluten free pumpkin bread mix. I'm so excited! And M is going to buy me some today!! Yum.
I wish we had a TJs here!! Maybe I'll find something at Sobeys. Yum!
Nothing major going on here. Other than our dog picked up some fleas from our friends dog who likely picked them up from a rabbit or something when she was running through the field. Ugh!!!! So she's on meds and we are about to do a mass cleaning of the house, again... I hate fleas, they are so gross.
Oh, and the election. I can't really comment since I'm Canadian, but I'm pro Hilary. Holy... I don't know how anyone could support someone like Trump. It's nuts.

This is random... I slept funny and now my neck hurts. It's rainy here so I can't do yard work... I'm mildly disappointed. Next weekend we have to drive 9+ hours (broken up) to make two family dinners so I'm enjoying the rest today. I think Is may have caught H's cold... that or some teething woes, hoping she'll nap a bit better today than yesterday.
