Ready, willing, and filled with dread

Chickadee has the day off from school today, and will be coming with me to the polls. I'm trying to figure out how to make this a learning experience without letting her catch on the to fact that I dread just about everything about election day. Maybe I can tell her that we vote and then we spend several days waiting to hear who really won and then everyone argues about it before, during, and after and that's just lots of FUN! No? Hmmm.

I've also been informed that a decision will be made today about the That Job I'm Not Thinking About and I will hear tonight or tomorrow. So that, on top of it being election day, is just about too much for a control freak like me to take. I need some more snack-size Butterfingers.
