Jan 20th

I was so excited b/c I got to watch the inauguration yesterday. We had an all staff meeting in St. Paul, and they put it up on the big screen. I feel so much hope right now...hope that change really will come, hope that America will become a strong nation again. More than anything I hope that we all get our heads out of our butts and start doing the right thing for our future generations. As I gaze at Ellie and Emma playing in the living room I feel that somehow I have let them down...It's the same feeling I get when my clients ask me why they don't have a job yet. I have no answer to give them except that "I'm sorry." Yet I hope...

On another note, more personal...My husband was not feeling well yesterday. I hate when this happens for two main reasons. 1) I don't like to see him in pain, and 2) he gets nasty when he doesn't feel well. Now, I don't know a single person who is pleasant to be around when they are sick, self included. But he can get downright snappy. He wouldn't let me get him medicine, wouldn't let me make him soup, and hardly talked to me the whole night. Then at bedtime I offered to sleep on the couch to make him more comfortable, and you would have thought I was the most wicked person on earth! I am not sure why that upset him, but it did. Ugh!!! I am a caring person, but after a while with him my sympathy runs out. Men. They can be so strong, and such babies all at the same time.
