Wednesday

Today I took off work to take Claudia to the doctor for her re-check (no more pneumonia!) and so I decided to take the rest of the day off to take her to see Barack Obama speak at the fairgrounds.

Last night I was at the hospital for another test for my migraines while Jamie took Claudia and Jordan to the Obama office in Broad Ripple to volunteer. It's farther away than the Obama office just down the street from us, but we know a staff member there who said, "Come to Broad Ripple!!". While they were there they got two preferred pass things that were supposed to ensure that we got good seats today, but no. By the time we got there the stands were completely full (there were way more people than anticipated, I think) and we ended up standing in the mud. But SO WORTH IT!!

Why not take all three kids, you might be asking? Well, usually I don't take kids out of school for anything unless they're bleeding or vomiting. You don't feel so well? Oh, well, go to school and try to make it through the day. There are even a lot of family funerals I wouldn't take them out of school for. Are you wondering if I'm talking about you? :) But Claudia has gotten the message over the years because of this that school is her work and her work is important and she has developed a fantastic work ethic.

What...? You're not going to tell us how wonderful it was to see The One? Was there a cool concert before?
