Gladmommy! Obamania overcomes me

Glamour Magazine

Even though Crabmommy is a US citizen (though raised in South Africa), I didn't vote in this election. Being a busy mom, I just forgot, until it was too late. And now I'm feeling as guilty as all get-out.

Ha! Settle down, people. That was my anxiety dream the night before last. Naturally I cast my ballot in this historic election along with everyone else who Mommed the vote, Popped the vote and just plain voted. Coming from South Africa where people know a thing or two about historic elections, I wouldn't miss my chance to have my voice heard in this one. However, since I'm a big Palinmommy, as you readers know, Crabmom is nursing a few wounds today.

Ha, again! Except that it's true I'm a little sad to see Palin and her tribe step off the stage. Who can we poke fun at now? Indeed, Crabmommy had her own sport with Palin's baby names, Bristol's adorable illiterate baby daddy, and of course Ms. Palin's own eloquent statements regarding foreign policy and whatnot. But that's all in the past now. Aside from awaiting Bristol Palin's baby name announcement, I'd say we won't be looking too much to the Governor of Alaska and her brood for our news these days. There's another mover-shaker mom's name on our lips today: Michelle. And that, my friends, makes a Crabmommy crack something seldom seen in public: a big, wide, contented smile.

Have a great day, everyone!
