Tired, Tired and More Tired

I am so tired. Not necessarily physically tired, although there is that, but just tired of things going on around me lately. I have tried to ignore them but they have just taken over.

I am tired of morning talk shows on the radio. I don't turn on the radio because I want to hear someone flapping their gums. I turn on the radio because I want to hear some music. Music, please. And yet, between the hours of 5 a.m. and 11 a.m. I cannot find any music on the radio. All I hear are people talking and talking and talking about what they like and what they don't like and what this country should do about that country and on and on and on and blah, blah and blah. I can talk to myself and hear that. First thing in the morning is when I need a pick me up, a boost, a little jumpstart. I want to hear, no I NEED to hear "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister or "Working for the Weekend" by Loverboy on the way home from taking the kids to school. I don't need to hear someone's opinion on why frog penis is the new wonder drug.

I am tired of having this whole "go green......or else" issue shoved down my throat. I am a tree hugger, yes I am. Have been since I was a kid, when it was considered weird or hippyish. But this thing today has long since ceased to be about the environment. This is a political movement, a force if you will, that has taken on a life of its own. Someone must be making a whole lottttttt of money off of this. Going green has become fashionable, not necessarily conscionable. And it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Speaking of bad tastes in the mouth, I am also tired of people telling me that if I eat meat, then I must not love animals. Are you nuts?? Much like the tree hugging, I have been an animal rights activist most of my life. I wrote a letter to then President Ford protesting animal testing when I was 8 years old, so please spare me. If you don't know me, then don't attempt to put me in the box where you think I belong.

I am tired of the eternal infernal celebrity news coverage on television.

I am tired of people's lives being reduced to sound bites on the 6 o'clock news.

I am tired of the educational system leaving NO room for individuality in children and attempting to either force them into a cookie cutter mold or labeling them as "problematic". And then, in a move of the utmost hypocrisy, telling them to "be themselves".

And I am tired of my husband just dropping his stuff (clothes, books, work manuals) wherever it lands and then expecting me to know what happened to it the next day. Just because I happen to be the ONLY one that cleans the house, what does that make me a suspect:)?

And now I am really tired, so I think I'll take a nap.

Peace alllllllllllllllllll................
