I am home sick today...day 2. My munchkin gave me a horrible horrible cold. I was at a conference on Monday and suffered through the day on Zicam, Ricola, Coffee, and Puffs. Then things got worse and Tuesday I was out of bed for a total of maybe 5 hours. UGH. Cough, Goo, Aches...ridiculous.
I thought in honor of feeling so icky, and H.D. returning to school today (he was the perpetrator of the illness and stayed home Monday and Tuesday) I would post some Halloween pictures for all.

On election day, I sat, as most of the country did, glued to my television set rooting for my candidate. I watched in awe as the President elect gave a speech that brought me to tears (of joy). I was completely moved by a variety of things that he said, and his gift with words. I had goosebumps for the duration of the speech. I am so encouraged by the change.
My dad made a really cool observation, though I am sure he is not the first to make it. The president that issued the Emancipation Proclamation, Abraham Lincoln was from Illinois, and our first African American president...from Illinois.
Pretty Cool.
