fed up
not sure how i'm feeling today.
all the news...........omg it makes me crazy sad, crazy mad, crazy sick, crazy political conservative, crazy bitchy! the protests, the late term abortions, the, i'm not gonna approve this crap because your Trump, craziness!!!! I'm so over all the shit........
why can't there be a channel specifically about the 'good' things that happen everyday.
all this anger, hate, and disrespect is so unsettling...........
I want to curl up with the kitties and never leave......... the softness of their purrs comfort me.
Love you ladies.

I hear you. It would be wonderful to hear some good news for a change. Tight hugs
I so understand. I've had to delete my own posts and stop reading others because my blood pressure was rising. America is in a HUGE mess and I don't really see a whole lot of folks REALLY helping solve the problems. Seems most just want to argue and hate each other.
And I agree, not approving something that is good for our country ONLY because of who suggested it, is just STUPID. And both political parties have a LOT of stupid!
I asked my husband last night if there were another country we could move to and live in peace. He said sadly America is still the best choice for us, so he bought another 40 acres adjacent to our property. Why don't you and the kitties come live with us, we'll create our own country!
If I could start my own country, these would be the only rules:
If you want to eat, work
If you get it dirty, get it clean
If I bug you, go for a walk
If you bug me, I'll go for a walk
You must sing karaoke at least once a week
You must tell every person you see they are beautiful and loved
You must smile for pictures
You must love animals and all of nature
You can cry and scream and vent, but you better wash your face and get moving again when you're done.
If you make a move on my husband you will get punched in the face....then I'll go for a walk, LOL!
I used to tell my mom, "Turn off the TV" as she was getting herself SO upset. Life is a paradox with so much good in it as well and we just need to keep trying to show up and do what we can to create the kind of world we want to be living in. Everything we say and do matters and has a consequence, doesn't it?
Perhaps this is why I surround myself with children. They are our hope, our truth tellers and we have to try with every fiber of our beings to leave them a world where they can feel safe, heard, loved, respected and that they matter. I truly believe it comes down to these basics and if the adults would follow their lead perhaps we would not be in such a mess.
Loving care to us ALL give us the strength to try to suit up, show up and shake, rattle and roll when needed.
We can do hard things in this "Bruitful" world as Glennon Doyle call it, as it is both brutal and beautiful.

Marlene, thank you for the hugs....... good news is what I seek-It just doesn't seem there's enough these days, maybe the cartoon channel will be my escape!!!
Teri, omg you made me laugh!! thank you!!! Sounds like the kind of country that would be perfect!!!
Joanne- as always your gentle soul brightens my day. Bruitiful - YES!!! that's exactly it!!!
on a happier note - we're getting this monster of a snow storm tonight and tomorrow (ok so maybe not so great)
but the great part........... I will get to be home for an extra day because I won't drive in it. blizzard like conditions........ then the sub-zero begins. I'm grateful that my husband won't be working this week. and prayers for the safety of the ones that are working out in it, driving in it, and have to deal with it!!
today there was a picture in one of the online news sources, that showed the mangled vehicle, in which someone died, they wouldn't release the name pending notification.......... but they post the photo of this vehicle............ where they died. smh
I found myself so utterly angry........... so I commented about having respect for the victim and the family........ omg I got bashed. even from another 'mother'... she said......... "don't tell me about losing a kid' just this angry angry mob......... delete, block, done. whew.
the world out there seems mostly hideous. the pictures, the news, some people........... I just can't. I've deleted more people this weekend....... and boom........ here we are.
that was my new years' resolution.......... to get rid of the ugliness. so far I'm on target....... as my friends' list shrinks, my heart feels more protected.
P.S. Tyler is doing amazing!!!! love that child of mine!!!!
thanks for listening, and for the amazing support.
Love you ladies!!!!
P.S.S. - Teri - what is the name of your 'country?' hehe
