I am beginning to lose faith in humanity... I really am.
I am tired of Facebook in the sense that I see status updates like: "I do not like drama at all, but..." and go into something that is sure to incite 50+ comments on their drama free post.
How about the non stop posts about how much someone misses their husband and wishes they would call/get online? I am honestly sick of these women who never seem to leave their house or get off of the computer because they are afraid they are going to miss their husband. You know what happens when they do that? They do not hear from them and then the status updates get lonelier and more whiny/depressed. Why do they do that to themselves? I have been on the computer LESS than I ever was when my husband was home!
Guh...
I want people to stop asking me to do things for them. I am tired. There are things that I have no problem doing (like buying and sending things downrange), but then there are things that I end up doing because the other person is just too damn lazy to do it themselves, or they know I will say yes. I just wish someone would do something for me or even OFFER to do something for me for once! OK, someone has... and she is all the way in California!
I have gotten a few donations already for my packages to the troops thing, so please take a moment and donate $5 or $10 or whatever you can spare. I want to do a hygiene box with toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc. Whenever I make a box I will take a picture and post it so everyone can see what is being done (like the ink cartridges that cost almost $300 by the way).

Laura, sometimes we just need to vent! I often feel as you do and it sometimes seems like I am wearing a 'sucker' sign on my forehead!
If you don't receive enough donations, why don't you talk to some local store chains about donating to you some of the items you are trying to obtain. I know that Office Depot and Office Max will donate paper and ink cartridges (although you have already purchased) to your cause, but you may be able to do that next time. I don't know what kind of stores you have around you, but in our area Big Lots, Dollar Stores, and even Kmart and Walmart will sometimes donate smaller items. It's worth giving it a try:)
And remember, take out some time for yourself to breathe! Say 'no' if you have to every once in awhile. Delegate!
And your son? well, kids are great! They always know what we mean even if we don't say the right word. The older I get, the more I do that with my children and they just ask me "did you mean...?" and we laugh.
Mary, I am in Germany... the chain stores idea would not work for me :)
Sometimes I really miss the States! Less than two years left!
Have a coffee with a ciggy. then a little later have a wine with a ciggy. And just be happy!

I am with A to the J fags coffee and a little touch of alcohol. Loads of people seem fed up to say the least at the minute;)
Fernando started a gripes thing in Blogplicity - no idea where it went but not only was it great for releasing a little frustration it became quite funny too - I might go dig it up.
I can see by reading this how you are feeling, you make me feel normal in my insanity too - so we can both be "arghhhhhh" together at everyone until we feel better :)
