Woe is Me.

UGH! I am so sick of this pity party attitude everyone has going on nowadays. Seriously? Or should I say "Seriousry?" Come on! I am oh so guilty of it, too ... but I'm also very aware of when I'm doing it ...

For example ... Obama. I'm so tired of hearing about this "mess" he inherited. Good for that judge who publicly disagreed! It is, in my opinion, out of line to imply judgement on someone (the supreme court) on national television. Good grief. And to continue whining about the Republican party and all that he has inherited? Shut UP! Mr. President ... YOU wanted this position ... YOU know what you were walking into ... now do you damn job. I relate it to teaching. I get a class of 3rd grade students, 90% of which are not on grade level. Do I sit there for a year and whine about how low they are? Not a freaking chance (except to my mom) ... instead I accept I have a challenge and make a plan to beat it. And guess what? Less than 10 percent of my students left my room at below grade level. One year, anyway. 

Want another one? "I'm going to be a single mom" . Yeah? AND? Being a mom is hard regardless of whether you're married or not, or who you're married to. If you didn't want to consider being a single mom as an option, well ... then choose celibacy. Duh. I can say this, because I was in those shoes in 2007 ... and ya know what? I dealt with it, and I found strength in my friends and family. And I made a plan to make it work. In my opinion, YOU created your situation, now create a plan to make the best of it and stop your freaking whining. 

I'm on a chat board. And ya know what I see? Moms whining about how much WIC sucks. Well ... then quit spending your damn paycheck on an internet bill and buy your own food. FOr crying out loud. Nate and I are by no means in a "good" financial situation, but it's better than a lot of people's these days. Did I ever complain about not having what I wanted? Sometimes. but it was more hoping for a day that when we could. And I still do. And ya know what? Every day I contemplate and plan for a way that we can, rather than sitting on a lazy butt and whining. 

I am mooooody. moody moody moody. Maybe I need some of that B6 my mom was telling me about. So I'll stop whining about my moodiness. That is all.
