My own honest and somewhat witty recollection of my journey from a bright eyed girl who wholeheartedly believed in the american dream to a soulful survivor and stay at home mom still finding my way after a disparaging dose of economic reality.

Four More Years
Tonight, we, as a nation, were given closure to a very long and nasty election year. The people decided and was it the right decision? Well, I guess we will have to wait and see....
It was such a cut throat & unattractive battle by both sides in such a tumultous time that I wasn't really happy with either choice we were given or even the final result for that matter!
Furthermore, as all of the media outlets started reporting the final votes as they came in, those numbers spoke to me more than the decision that was finally made.
If you look at the map and not just the electoral votes, there was no clear winner and this race just proved it even further that we really are living in a divided country.
I think sometimes as a winner it is more beneficial to look at the votes you DIDN'T get and WHY than the ones you did receive.
That is my final comment to our president as we look forward to another four years of uncertainty.
