Religious Stepford Robots.

DISCLAIMER: I am a strong beleiver in Freedom of Religion....ALL religions. AND, I am a strong beleiver in the fact that there is NO right number of kids a couple should have. You can have 1...or you can have 20... if that is what you chose to do. AND I am a strong beleiver in the fact that each family has their own set of rules and boundries. As long as they are not HURTING anyone....they don't have to be the same as mine.

Having said that. I AM So tired of religious zealots. The ones who can't think for themselves but need to be told how to think, feel and what to beleive. The ones that think there way is the ONLY way.

I am surrounded by them at B's school. There are days I hate being there. For the most part I don't really socialize with these parents...but SERIOUSLY the energy is so damn suffocating. I swear I can see it hoovering over the place. It's only Day 2 of the school year and I couldn't wait to leave the place. I seriously had to take some deep breaths as I left, just to cleanse myself of all that CRAP.

So today, I'm sitting there trying to read a bit. Various conversations going on around me. One gal is talking about her bible study group. Okay that is fine....if thats her thing. One parent is reminding her kids to pray before they eat their meal. Again fine....if thats what they do.

But what grabs my attention the most? Some woman (who has 7 or 8 kids...I have lost count) telling some other moms that when she was newly married and got pregnant for the first time; she had a dream. In her dream God TOLD her that he chose her to have a big family. She woke up and told her husband "looks like we are gonna have a big family".

(AGAIN, fine if this is something you and your husband decide.....)

BUT then she goes on to COMPLAIN that it's out of her hands. It's not her choice. It's Gods choice. There are days she questions if God made the right choice.

FUCKING HELLO????? Are you kidding me? It's out of your hands? What kind of moron are you?

I wanted to lean over and say "hmm, did you ever think that maybe God was WRONG" LOL

SERIOUSLY, she has a choice. If she TRULY doesn't want all these children then do something about it. Buck up and quit being a follower and think for YOURSELF!

They say It Takes a Village....

"It takes a Village to raise a child"

I've said it many times. I firmly believe it.

But sometimes I just wish people would mind their own damn business and keep their opinions to themselves..........

The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw.

Tuesday. My day to sleep in. To snuggle under the covers for a few extra hours and be dead to the world.

Not THIS Tuesday.

5 am we woke up to a couple of crows having a bitch-fest in our backyard. They were loud....and annoying...and non stop.

My husband got out of bed and tried to shoo them away from the window. A bit later I got up and went to back door and actually threw a shoe in backyard to startle them away.

They weren't going anywhere. They ranted and raved for an hour, while I tried to sleep with my head firmly under my pillow. (no such luck)

Finally they stopped but the damage was done. My anticipated sleepy Tuesday morning was ruined. Now I am up, in a fog and PISSED!

(title inspired by my sister in laws love of Jack Handy quotes)

Must ......have.....water......

Sitting here; reading blogs, drinking my coffee....TRYING to wake up...not really in best of moods.

Oldest kid: "mom, the water isn't working".
ME: "what do you mean the water isn't working"
Oldest kid: "what part of NOT working do you not get....its NOT working...NO WATER is coming out of faucet".
ME: "let me see..." (sure enough its not working)

So I call our small city hall where the water dept is. I explain the situation. The gal on phone then proceeds to explain to me: "yes, we are working on the water lines.....it should be back on BY THE END OF THE DAY."

OMG...none of us have showered, I'm expecting company and have yet to clean my kitchen, AND am watching my toddler nephew. JUST GREAT...all freakin day w/o water?

What pisses me off most is NO NOTICE that they were gonna do this. They just shut it down. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

WTF?

This PISSES me off. Makes me want to find the asshole & beat the shit out of him!
WHO DOES THIS? What happens in a persons life that they resort to THIS?????
