The election

Here's the thing with politics, wine, and friends. . .they can be mixed, but should they? I was told that I am hyper-sensitive by my husband, my friend, his wife, our other friend and my babysitter. Maybe I am. I don't see this as a negative thing. I see this as possibly getting in the way of my rational thought BUT moreover, I think that it is one of my endearing qualities - one of mine.

So, for the record my biggest issue was not that the discussion occurred, but rather that it might have harmed our friendship. It is interesting, especially from the perspective of men and women, that he thought the discussion strengthened our relationship and I was certain it had damaged it.

At the end of the day, I am happy that I have such loving friends, a husband, and a babysitter that can all tell me like it is and love me because of it not despite it!

Later. The babysitter is leaving and I will be left alone with The one and her brother.
