Staging Day

Today we'll go around and gather up everything we need for tomorrow and get it where it needs to go, from signs and water for the sign wavers to food for the party after the polls close. We'll call everyone who is participating and confirm with them by phone tonight, and generally hope for the best.

I'd like to say I'm calm and cautiously optimistic, but I'm slightly sick at my stomach and wishing the day of reckoning was not upon us. My webmaster, Ted, is always talking about the book I'll write after this is over. What will we call it, "The Working Mother's Guide to Running for Office"? Considering that out of 27 local candidates, only 4 are women and of those only I have a child at home, it's going to be a narrow audience.
