I loved Sarah Palin's speech last night, and you have to know that I am not a fan of women politicians. But as soon as she came on stage, I had to remind Tim that he is married to ME and just so he wouldn't forget, he could rub my feet during her speech.
While she was speaking, Tim told me I had to "step it up a notch" if I want to keep him from running off with her. I told him her husband is a commercial fisherman. He can't compete with that. He fishes the tiny lake in Heartwell park with rare success. As long as it is not revealed that her husband "catches" all those fish at the grocery store and then fakes the fishing shots, I think I am safe.
That she is a huge threat to our marriage does not deter me from saying I really liked her last night. Yes, I am sad that she is a working mother of five. I would have preferred a Sarah Palin clone without the kids. But unlike those that have screamed for so long for women's rights and then scream when she exercises them, I will respect the choices she and her husband have made. I certainly don't condemn the other moms I know who have chosen outside employment, so why should I start now.
I thought she was a great speaker, lots of funny lines, lots of confidence. I think I could be her friend. (Well maybe not, if it means Tim gets to meet her.)
This race just got interesting.

I thought the most precious moment in the entire thing was watching Piper lick her hand and slick down Trig's hair during her mom's speech. It was a priceless Palin family moment.
For your information I came very close to catching a fish just last week.
Sarah Palin is almost too good to be true. It's great to see "one of us" fighting it out among the slimy, elitist, professional politicians.
I fell asleep last night during her speech (sorry it was good but I was exhausted) and my husband sat glued to the tv never blinking. I told him he has chosen to stay up with the "other woman" so to speak. ;) She does rock but yes I wish she wasnt going to be so busy for her kids sake as well. Oh & melanie, I loved when that sweet little thing licked her hand and fixed her brothers hair too! If that doesnt melt your heart you dont have one. :)
Glad to hear Tim nearly caught a fish! I caught a crayfish once, that's almost a fish. People don't understand fishermen ! Looks like Palin has a good husband which will be a big help with her Kids ! I'm a stay at home Papa and take care of our turtle and parrot, so it is possible..........Uncle Kent
