			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was originally going to over-share with you all about my lovely 24 hour urine collection, my doctor&#8217;s appointment today(at which my blood pressure was normal!), and the lack of good television on Sundays. </p>
<p>But I decided that I should keep the pee stories to myself(you&#8217;re welcome).  I shouldn&#8217;t bore you with details of what the doc said(ultimately, eventhough the bp was good today, we won&#8217;t really know much until the lab work comes back).  And I shouldn&#8217;t really complain about Sunday television programming.  If I&#8217;d go to church, it wouldn&#8217;t be an issue anyway!  <img src='http://theiveyleague.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile The Democratic Process" class='wp-smiley' title="The Democratic Process" /> </p>
<p>So&#8230;what I&#8217;ll tell you about instead is an Emmie story.  Today was Red, White &amp; Blue day at school, and the kids got a chance to vote.  Not about something as silly as who will be in charge of the free world(DON&#8221;T FORGET TO VOTE TOMORROW&#8230;.THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ELECTION!!!), but something <em>really </em>important: snacks.  They voted for which snack they wanted, and the winning snack will be making a victory speech on Wednesday.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Anyway, I was late picking her up from &#8220;school&#8221;, and she was the only one left in her room.  As I walked up to the door I could see a note that read:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">GOLDFISH: 6<br />
DOUGHNUTS: 4<br />
ICE CREAM: 1</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So as I came into the room her teacher said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think Emmie was very happy with the outcome of the election.&#8221; </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">&#8220;Uh-oh.  What&#8217;s wrong, Em?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">&#8220;I want ice cream, but we havin&#8217; to eat <em>goldfish.&#8221;  </em>(If you know Em, you can surely imagine the hilarious face accompanying this statement.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So&#8230;because of 10 crazy little kids(seriously, who picks goldfish over ice cream???), my 2 year old has already lost confidence in the democratic process.  I guess it was bound to happen sometime though, huh? <img src='http://theiveyleague.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile The Democratic Process" class='wp-smiley' title="The Democratic Process" /> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Oh&#8230;don&#8217;t let the process fail again&#8230;VOTE tomorrow if you haven&#8217;t already!</p>
