Politics: Who gives a Damn.

I am sick of hearing about politics.  I am tired of listening to people complain and state that they are now "moving to Canada" or that "even China would be better than this."  Enough with the whining. How about we just all move to Colorado where we wouldn't have to worry about all of this anymore???

But seriously,  It has been over a week and a half since the presidential elections.  It's done, Obama won, and there is nothing we can do about it.  Honestly people, shut your traps and get over it!  Our country is not going to explode from a nuclear bomb and frankly, I'm so sick of hearing about politics that I would probably welcome an apocalypses just so there would be something else to talk about.  I mean we had to suffer through six months of watching commercials that were basically worse than the sound of nails on a chalkboard.  Why drag that torture on for longer than necessary?  I am tempted to move to Canada just to escape from these idiots who call themselves patriotic yet only succeed in helping divide this nation.

Because, regardless of what the title says, I do care about this country and it's future.  And the only way for America to stay strong is to form together, and support the man who was elected as our President.  Even if you don't agree with our President, pull up your britches and do what is needed of you in order to keep our country intact.








(but seriously, when can we go to Colorado??)

I am being Dictated.

So I have been a little busy for the past few months.  Or to more accurately say, I am a slacker.  And a big one at that.  But this is my last year here that I will truly be with my family.  So to quiet my guilty conscious I am going to write again.  (Not that I ever wrote in the first place, but we're not going to dwell on the past.)

My life is hectic.  No joke here.  My life is run by a clock.  I am constantly running from place to place, usually looking liking a chicken with it's head cut off, trying to accomplish the things that I am supposed to do.  Let me give you a brief inside on what i am talking about;

Monday: Wake up at 6 am, read and study.  Get back in bed at 640 because i am so tired. 7 am re-awaken to read scriptures with my family. 715 rush to get ready for school. leave for school at 730. (needless to say, i will not be winning any awards on my appearance this year) 

 class starts at 750 am until 240 pm.  This is where i rush home to work on homework for a few minutes, scarf down a quick meal. than leave for work at 330. There I am submitted to detestable and cruel punishment. making food and dealing with hungry people (which is the worst kind)  I endure this for about 7 or so hours, get home around 11 pm.  Take a shower.  finish homework and go to bed.  Only to wake up on time the next morning and do it all over again.  and again.  and again. 

When I work over 30 hours a week my life gets crazy.  I am constantly checking the time, awaiting the inevitable task of where I have to go next or what I have to do. (and keep in mind, this is all without my church callings and responsibilities, my volunteering at CCWCC, or family and friend time.) 

I am at the mercy of a cruel, cold-hearted tyrant...the blasted clock.  And in case I wasn't clear, it has no mercy.

But forgiving the glorious rant I just had, let me add a few perks that are coming up.

Firstly, I am backing down on work, only 10-15 hours a week.  

Second, I am finally beginning to volunteer at CCWCC way more often.  Which I am so excited about and love doing!

Third, I am no longer the Laurel president.  I finally had to tell my advisor that I would not be able to keep up and still contribute and do everything that I was doing. (for those who know me, I loved to be involved and usually had some huge church project going on, but I just don't have time anymore.)

And last but not least.  I can definitely see the improvement in myself because of waking up and reading my scriptures and becoming more spiritually sure of myself.  I love where it is going!

p.s. one more thing.  The holidays are speedily approaching!!!!!  I love this time of year!  This alone helps get me through a particular depressing work day :)
