The Red Thread

What happens when a long-time feminist activist becomes a mother? How does she stay true to her vocation and voice and still have time for her daughter? She's not sure either, but join this baseball-loving Chicago feminist as she tries to find her way through typical parenting land mines with a feminist perspective.

Super Fat Tuesday

I haven't gotten my paczki yet, but we did vote this morning. There is a blurry photo of my daughter holding up our "Thank you for voting" receipt. We all got up extra early because I feared that with the snow coming in the evening others might wake early to connect the arrow and vote. But nope, no wait when we got there and it was quick & mostly painless.

I told her last night that we'll come home, eat dinner, and watch the results come in on TV. She complained that she didn't want to watch it all night. I told her that of course, we can play games while we're watching the results. She's a happy future voter.

 So tonight, while you're watching Tim Russet and his stupid dry erase board or CNN's talking heads (do they sleep?), we'll be at home watching the delegate tote-board and playing Candyland. I wonder if Milton Bradley could create a game where you get the top points, but alas, you still lose because you didn't get enough big pieces. Kinda like if Monopoly wasn't about your bank account, but your real estate portfolio. ha!

When Veronica isnt' raising the first Latina President, she blogs at Viva La Feminista, Chicago Moms Blog and Work it, Mom!

Hey there Veronica!

I am so looking forward to watching it all come in tonight too!

My son has a make-up b-ball game at 6:30, and then it's turn on the tube to see how this all plays out.

Think you should pitch that game idea to MB

Oh I know.  We're popping popcorn for this!  

And thanks, I just googled "paczki" and learned I've been missing out!  Beautiful.   A new craving I didn't need ...... ;)
