It's been a rough few days.  I was a complete wreck all day Tuesday.  My stomach hurt with worry.  I ended up going to bed and waking up at 11:30 for the rest of it. and sobbed in bed.  No matter how much I'm hurting, I was crying for everyone else who is so much more scared.

maybe it an act.  Maybe he knew what to say to get the silent white vote. Maybe he will veto the horrible things he suggested and his party will push through.  maybe he is actually sane.



I had to talk to Liam about him- he was asking questions because they talked about at school, and some of the other kindergartens had said the he needed to win because she did horrible things.  I couldn't say anything nice. I tried.  I had to explain to him about  how racism is bad, and homophobia is bad, and xenophobia and touching a woman who doesn't want to be touched is bad.  Too many things for a 6 year old to comprehend and a horrible thing for me to have to tell my kindergartener why mommy and daddy are so upset.  I want my kids to respect the President.  but not someone has no redeeming qualities, that is a mockery to humankind, and we make the values of our nation step back 100 years.
