Robert strolled into the house last ngiht about 8:45. I was thrilled because the kids were waiting to see him and it was just after bedtime. He walked in, I said "Welcome home! Now you can put the kids to bed!" And I grabbed my time card and officially checked-out. Bedtime is ugly at our house. It has been a battle ever since McCartney was 2 years old. Robert had a routine, a plan and is patient. I, on the other hand, am not and they know it, and they take advantage of it as much as possible. I am so not made to be a stay-at-home mom and you women who are single-moms have my utmost regards.
I was visiting Carol for Peace and looking at her pictures from the weekend march. This one I borrowed from her of Carol, Robert and Mary from Get Your Own. I loved Carol's assessment of the march and the importance of it. She says this:
Anyway, I have little faith that our administration will change any foreign policy in response to yesterday's march. Because I am so sickened by the death and destruction that our nation causes around the world, my hope is that the march will at least be a sign to people everywhere that our government is not a reflection of the will of the majority of Americans.
Mary attended the march with her family, well, all but one of her family. Mary's son is stationed in Baghdad. She had this to say :
Robert was so kind as to introduce me first to Cindy Sheehan's daughter, Carly AND then to Cindy! What a great moment for me as I really respect everything she does. I was also introduced to Tina Richards who could not have been kinder to me and gave me a big hug when she heard Michael was in Baghdad. I can't thank Robert enough as I really admire these women.
I love that Robert enjoyed himself. I would love to join him at one of these rallies, but alas, Dustin is not able to be left with just anyone and if we took the kids the prospect of 12 hours in a car with him scares the pants off me.

Hi Sheri! Thanks for doing the single parent thing while Robert headed into the wilds of D.C. I was glad to meet Robert, and I appreciated his kindness when I was alone and my friend was in jail.
Since I'm on a borrowed laptop, I don't have my LOC password and can't comment on Robert's blog. Please let him know that I watched video one and will check the rest of his posts when I get home.
I thought Carol's assesment was right on the money too. Plus it's a little boost in our faith. It's hard to listen to the news and keep hoping for change. The march was just the little re-kindling of hope I needed.
