Is It Over Yet?

  I have never felt this way about an election before. For weeks I've been obsessed with the news, reading as much as I can online, listening to pundits, having passionate discussions. And now? I just want it to be over. I actually feel a little sick to my stomach that we won't know until Tuesday night--and if it's a close one maybe not even then.

It's really hard for a control freak like me to care so much yet not really be able to affect the outcome (beyond voting which of course I did).

Somebody tell me when I can take my hands off from over my eyes and peek to make sure the scary is part is over.

You know, I think it is :-)

[Smalltown Mom]

I feel the same way.

[MamaHenClucks]

Pretty eager for it to be all done around here, too.

[Jen on the Edge]

I feel the same way. I'm having a hard time focusing on work because I keep checking the news.

[Lori]

I had a very similar post yesterday! I'm cautiously optimistic.

[The Mom Bomb]

Closure is good.

Depending on your neighborhood, keep your windows open. You just might hear some fireworks.

I have that same pit in my stomache, too.

[suburbancorrespondent]

Well, if you folks out west there would hurry up and vote...

[MamaMo]

I feel ya - I'm really wishing I could just sleep the day away and have someone wake me up on Weds.!

When the Red Sox won the World Series in '04, I almost couldn't dare to hope. That's how I feel today.

I was pregnant with RC then. Now I can drink through the contractions.

OMG girl, I feel the same way!!!! Won't be long now. :o)

[Shelley]

I feel exactly the same way. I just want this to be done. I will not be able to relax until I hear McCain making his concession speech. I may need to stop at the store on my way home to get some wine to help me make it through the evening.

I know....I can't believe we finally got to this day.

[Mary Alice]

Yep, I haven't even felt like eating...which if you know me...isn't usually a problem for me.

I just want all the negitive ads that are running especilly the ones designed to place fear that a certain candate cannot be an efective president.

[kcinnova]

I'm wondering if I'll be able to go to sleep tonight, not knowing... even though I'm pretty sure the sun will still rise tomorrow no matter what the outcome!

[Tina]

I'm feeling just like you and unable to concentrate on anything that might be the least bit productive today. So I think I'll go turn MSNBC on and hunker down for the day.

[CC]

Amen. If a certain person doesn't win I'll be crying for the next 4 years.

[Melanie @ MelADramatic Mommy]

It feels like the campaign has been going on for three years!

[Minneota Matron]

I'm right with you! This is the slowest day, EVER.

[Helen]

I know, I was tired of it a year a go! Did you know that in mid August they called an election in Canada and the voting was over by mid October!

[Kellan]

I'm with you! Time to get on with it!

Take care - Kellan

[Susan]

I know what you mean. That feeling in the pit of my stomach...I've never felt this way about an election before. I'm excited and a bit nervous all at once. I just need to KNOW!

[Madge]

it's almost over, just hold on a few more hours.....

[Just Jamie]

I think you can open yours eyes. The news looks good.

Now we know!! It's a sweep! How incredible!

[JCK]

It's all good...
