Take a Deep Breath and Scream!

That's what I want to do. That's what I need to do. But I can't! I can't even go into detail here about what has me so completely INFURIATED! Is there a stronger word than infuriated? I really want to use every 4 letter word known to man to describe how I am feeling but I'm keepin' it clean, folks!

There are people in this world that have it worse than I do. I appreciate that fact. I see them on TV. I see them begging on the side of every off ramp. I've given them the few dollars I have in my purse because I have a deep feeling that it will help them much more than my need to keep the few measly dollars. {Which I'd blow on a bottle of water ~ I can just as easily retrieve from my own fridge} I understand all of that. I rationalize it on a daily basis. And each morning I watch my husband get up in the pre~dawn hours to get dressed and head out for his 12 + hour day. Day in and day out. With no complaints! No complaints of how badly his back aches. How tired he is. How he is saddened at the fact that he sees his precious children just long enough to {if he's lucky} eat dinner, take a bath and go to bed. To see him work his fingers to the bone and realize that it's just sustaining.

And with all the good in my life there are those few crappy things that I just can't ignore. Things that should be, as an American, a given. It's nothing more than humanity. Nothing more than caring. Nothing more than concern. Nothing more than friendship. And certainly nothing more than Family.

I wish I could tell you exactly what I am so upset about. I wish I could tell you each and every single little detail. But I can't. So excuse me for my ramblings and my vague insight. Sometimes you just have to vent.

I feel much better now!
