:: feeling vote-y & a fifty dollar lollipop ::

for those of us in joint school district no. 2,

today is voting day.

the district has proposed a two-year levy 

to raise revenue for two things: 

1. to restore 9 instructional school days

{9 days/year from K-12th grade = 117 days - 70% of a school year}

2. to replace "one-time" sources of revenue

learn more here.

i voted YES.

it will mean higher property tax,

but our school district really needs the money.

since i was feeling so vote-y,

i wore my new o'bama 2012 shamrock t-shirt.

it's from here.

also today, i bought a lollipop.

a fifty dollar lollipop.

thankfully, insurance paid $30,

making it a $20 out-of-pocket lollipop.

it is a post-op lollipop that contains tetracaine,

to numb ned's throat so he can take his REAL pain medication.

ned's tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy

{and possible ear tube placement}

is tomorrow {wednesday}.

please keep him in your thoughts.
