Oh my I think I wanna go back to bed

Yesterday was election day and I'm hoping the changes made will signal better things for Ohio. In the last year or so, we've had a tremendous amount of crap in regard to our state government---contribution scandals, investment scandals, etc. It's just been messy as hell.
I've come to the conclusion that most politicians are corrupt and in it for their own gain but let's hope that a shift in wind will blow in some with just a little more want to make our state a better place.

Because voting is held at some of our elementary schools here, kids were off yesterday. We were gifted with these mammoth pieces of cardboard and so the boys spent a good chunk of time yesterday decorating them. One, in particular, is pretty cool. They spent time and effort working on drawing a solar system, complete with aliens. I'll have to take a pic and post it. It's pretty nifty.
Last night's Scout meeting was held at a local pottery place instead of at the school and it was a good time. They made "pinch pots" out of raw clay then painted them with glaze and set them to be fired. One of the other Scouts made a shallow pot and created an exact replica of a mound of crap in the middle. I'm not kidding! It was shaped exactly as if a kitten had crawled up and taken advantage! Someone's mom is going to be unhappy. I tried talking him out of it but he gleefully giggled and painted the clay turds brown.
*sigh*
Boys.

Why does every fundraising drive known to man have to occur at the same time? The boys had school fundraisers, have now been given Scout fundraiser, my cousin's kids have THEIR school fundraiser, the United Way is collecting...don't they know if they spread it out a bit throughout the year, people may be more giving? Instead, we get slammed with a ton all at once and who can logically contribute to ALL of them? Donald Trumpalicious maybe.
Sheesh.

Happy Humpday, everyone.
