After standing in the rain for 1.5 hours (they eventually moved us inside) and running around after three very good, yet active girls, I cast my vote. I knew the lines were going to be long but I didn't expect that I would wait well over an hour. Luckily, I scheduled Adeline's speech therapist to join us which provided me with another set of hands and Adeline with lots to keep her busy. All girls ate a good lunch in the stroller and then seemed to occupy themselves while we stood and waited. Lila Grace was on her best behavior and come nap time, hopped in her stroller and snuggled Bunny. Savannah was lucky and joined me in the actual polling room. I left the large stroller and twins with Miss Ruby in the lobby. The polling room was quite warm and very small. Leaving the girls with Ruby was an excellent choice.
I planned to bring a camera and take a picture of the line (I knew it would be long and that Savannah will remember it next year and so forth) but of course I forgot it. I enjoyed carrying out my civic duty with my three girls in tow. It is nice to be in a swing state where I really feel my vote counts. Can't say Texas has any swinging in its future.
