I AM NOT SUPER WOMAN

Why is it that most women are expected... NOT ASKED but expected to do the housekeeping, the laundry, the cooking and well anything else around the house that needs to be done EVEN AFTER working a full 8 hour work day. I mean come on!!! how much energy are we supposed to have for 1 day. we work and so do the men in our lives. The kids go to school and have homework to do. If everyone has had a full day already then shouldn't we all pitch in and help out around the house. I've been told that it's my job but I have never seen a paycheck from it. In fact I rarely even hear a thank you for it. Thinking I should go on strike until the union can negotiate a better contract!!!

Closed for the season.... See you in the spring

Well you guessed it, another year come and gone and camp is closed for the season. What a great year it was. Lots of  food, friends, fires and ooooohhhhh the jello shots. Yeah I tend to overindulge but so what, you only live once and life is ttoooo short not to do what you love (or who lol) but anyway....everyone packed up everything they had and closed up their campers for another season. What a long winter this will be. Still seems so out of place, we do this every year, this year so many people weren't there.They were missed so much by everyone this year. Next season wont be any different. OK past the sentimental stuff. I am going to miss the late night fires and talks with friends.The kids laughing and having fun ( young and old) Just too bad we waited too late in the year for the dinner get togethers. Didn't I say I was done with the sentimental stuff? oh well so I get a little emotional sometimes...Get over it! We will of course see each other through the winter but it's never the same. There is just something about the crackling fire, looking up at the stars, full moons, the wind blowing through the trees, but the friends are still the best thing about it. They are always there for each other and we can talk about ANYTHING!!! And most will do anything for each other. I will always value the friends I have there and will treasure forever the memories made with the friends we have lost along the way. So until next spring rolls around, I hope for many many gatherings with those friends through the winter and next year hope to see them all happy and safe as we begin another season. Love to you all and see you soon!!Oo

Funeral protesting....

 My sister got me started on this one so blame her for the ranting. My answer to her question of
Is the right to protest at funerals of soldiers a protected right or not? (not if you believe in it or not, just if it's a protected right)

MY answer: They seem to be forgetting how they came by their first amendment right to begin with !! It's because of the soldiers. They are the reason we have any freedom to begin with no matter what your opinion is of war or government. They are disrespecting the very people they should be thanking for their rights! I mean COME ON!!! If it were their family member they wouldn't want protesters at the funeral. And to be screaming GOD HATES FAGS or GOD HATES...... Who are they to speak for GOD. they are simply speaking for themselves and are using a religious platform to voice those opinions. If they want to protest FINE !!! Do it with a little dignity and respect. and have a little respect for those who chose to give their lives so they could have the freedom and the right to protest at all. Without soldiers we would be prisoners in our own homes and wouldn't be able to speak our minds without being persecuted for it.

What can I say......

Well not much in the way of thoughts for the day. Guess when I get tired I stop thinking. Nothing wrong with that right? I still don't think i will ever get used to the 5am alarm. But at least I have good company at work now instead of being alone most of the day. It's nice to have someone to talk to once in a while. Looking forward to our last weekend at camp.Time to close up for the year. Already feels like it's going to be a very long winter so I can't imagine how long it really will be. Oh well, 6 months, then Back to camp, great friends, late nights and JELLO SHOTS. maybe I will be more talkative tomorrow. See you then

Mondays.......

I don't think any explanation is really needed for this one. Mondays traditionally suck!! Everyone is cranky, never enough time in the morning to wake up, who really wants to get up anyway. It's the beginning of 4 days of "is it Friday yet?". Admit it, you've never met anyone that loved Mondays. Oh well, at least this one is over and we can move on to tomorrow and be that one day closer to Friday. Apparently while I was having my Monday, it decided to try snowing outside today. The dreaded beginning of winter is also creeping up on us too. Guess we will have to see what the rest of the week has to offer. Until next time.

Well this is it...

Ok so I never thought I would be the one to have a blog but here I am. Who knows?? Maybe no one will want to read it but hey, it's worth a shot. So her goes nothing. What can I say .....Ok so maybe today isn't the day for witty words.I can try that tomorrow but for now I can at least say hello and hope that somewhere in the world someone else hears it.
