I am feeling disconnected from this blog and the computer in general.  I don’t have the time or the energy to devote here these days.  My days seem so full just getting by.  Not much time for projects.  I am overwhelmed with the mess that is my house.  So my posts may be less frequent.  I can’t commit to 3 or 4 weekly projects, a recipe and photos.  I won’t fade away, but  may be spotty.

Last night, after a quick potluck, Abby and Dawn and I took the middle kids to Obama headquarters for a little volunteer work.  I love the confidence of these kids!  They walked right in ahead of us.

The kids worked on posters.

Abby and I made phone calls to people whose names we couldn’t pronounce, those that promptly hung up on us, those who pretended they couldn’t come to the phone, left countless scripted messages and even spoke to a few who not only promised a vote for Obama but also wanted to volunteer.  Really a humbling telemarketing experience!

Dawn did what she does so well…data entry.  She is a VERY fast typist.

The place was bustling with people coming in and out, meeting in the parking lot, making phone calls and being briefed on their jobs.  The later it got, the busier it became.   We talked about other ways we may volunteer in the coming weeks. It feels good to get involved, especially with our kids.  We all are learning more about the inner workings of the campaign.  And as we witnessed last night, every little bit helps!
