. . . than they did at the first inaugural.

They begged off at the church and went in a separate car than the Prez and First lady. It should be a fun (and yes, long) day for them.

A day that starts with church, then jam-packed with sitting still and listening to speeches?! Kids don't like that?

This may explain why I don't have kids.

party is getting old. Maybe they have something for the kids to do with their friends later. I know being a kid I would be bored after a while. I'm trying to put myself in these young girls shoes.

Their dad was elected president for the second time. I'm sure that they are busting with pride and excitement. I would think that there's no place that they would rather be than with their parents today.

I'm stuck at work, so little snips like this are all I'll have to get me through the day. I told the husband I should've taken today off.

It seems so trivial, but if that limo drove by me, I'd break down in tears. Not just because it's one helluva sexy car, but the history, the joy, the gratitude...you get it.

Thanks again, bigtree!

Edit: Damn, forgot to mention how beautiful the family looked! Where the hell is Bo?

. . . there's something very special stirring that's been carefully tucked down deep inside. I'm more focused, this time around. It's all very real . . .

Bo's all emotional today, as well.
