And I thought I was sensitive???

People are just too freaking sensitive and stupid.

OKAY OKAY, so I’ve been told that Chris is rubbing off on me and I need to STOP letting his evil thoughts crowd my sweet sensitive nature..

That being said.. I hope I don’t offend anyone with my next few paragraphs… I’m in a mood today and the news just set me off…

First you’ve got the big news story about changing N B Forrest High School to Scott Speicher HS because Forrest was a KKK man and Speicher was a fallen hero. Sure people, lets just do away history because history is evil. WHATEVER! I read that there were seven school board members voting – 2 black and 5 white. Guess what the final result was? 5-2 in favor of keeping the name Forrest. I’m not trying to be callous here, I’m on the line with this decision because I can’t stand racists – but frankly – you can’t change history so why change the name of the school; leave it alone. If you want a school for Scott – BUILD ONE – we need more schools and teachers. But to change the schools name means trying to change or hide history – it’s stupid! And honestly, the way I’m reading the information is that the reason they want to change the name is because it is now currently a black dominant school. Huh, me myself, If I were black, I’d be getting my jollies thinking Ole NB was rolling over in his grave right now furious with all the “colored folk” in his school. Seems to me, he lost that fight after all!

I just read an article that said the “SIMPSONS” were in trouble because one of the bullies said to Millhouse – “that’s so gay”. Apparently the GLSEN says that people just don’t realize how cruel that phrase is to young gay youths. Oh my god, give me a break. Stop being so damn sensitive! It’s getting to the point where a person can’t open their damn mouth without getting into trouble! I guess me saying “You’re retarded” is pretty bad too huh? I can’t help it…It just pops out! What about all the FAT PEOPLE who get the brunt of all the jokes?OR the blondes? I hated it when my brother called me a Moose or called me Two Ton Tillie but dude – I dealt with it. Of course, my favorite response to him was “So? You’re a fag!” (And I didn’t even know it at the time. LOL) Huh, guess we were both right even back then!!! Words are arranged to solicit a response – and people today are just too whiny! Deal with it, stop running to the damn media! You FAT RETARDED BLONDE GAY PERSON!

I read an article about a school in New Jersey that sent a young child home from school on Halloween for dressing up as JESUS! He wore the robe, red sash, beard and mustache along with a thorn crown atop his very long hair. The school authorities informed him he needed to remove the beard, mustache and crown or be sent home. His costume was just too distracting. He refused to remove the outfit and went home. My thought – GIVE ME A BREAK – no one says anything about the scary zombies, girls dressed like naughty kitties or kids looking like an AX murderer! What the hell is it with people? They are just looking to cause upset and chaos!!!! Leave the kids alone!

Becca went to the doctor last week because she was sick. She ended up with the diagnosis of bronchitis. YUCK! She felt awful, it was pitiful. As we were talking with the doctor, the doctor informed me that Becca was missing one regular shot and then informed me she needed to take her first dose of the “Gardasil” shots. She asked if any of the doctors had previously mentioned it to me because Becca being 12 years old was in need of taking it. I told her I heard about it but wasn’t sure I wanted Becca to take the shots at such an early age. Since she has until 23 to do it, I’d rather wait until she is ready. The doctor’s response….You do realize she needs this shot before she begins having sex? My response, “uh yeah, I heard that but since she’s 12 and I KNOW she’s not having sex then I’ll wait until she’s ready to have sex and we’ll discuss it then.” Her response, “ Parents these days don’t really know about their kids, I really think we should schedule the shot for next week.” My response, ‘Since I know she ISN’T having sex, I’ll discuss the pros & cons with her father and we’ll call when we are ready for the shots. By the way, when should she start having her annual paps?” Her response………..”Oh, not until she begins having intercourse – around 17 or 18.” Uh, HUH? I so wanted to smack the crap out of that lady. My daughter is at the age where she can’t even stand in front of a boy without making an absolute ass out of herself. I can seriously say without a doubt in my mind that she is NOT even remotely thinking about sex. That doctor pissed me off. Becca walked out of the office and says, “ Mom? When can I start going to a real doctor like you and daddy? Can I start seeing Willa like you?” I guess my next step is to transfer her records over to our primary, hell, if she’s having sex, she may as well see and adult doctor instead of a pediatrician! GRRRR!

Three of my favorite authors have books that came out today and I’m here sitting at home reading old books because there’s just too much that needs to be paid and bought before such luxuries. Actually, I’m re-reading the series so I’ll be up to par and ready to get back into the story with the newest book! Chris called me today and said there was a huge ad in the newspaper on JD Robb’s new book “SALVATION IN DEATH!” GOD I WANT IT NOW!!! I did splurge and buy my 4^th favorite authors new book this past Saturday night (and finished it Sunday afternoon) but the thought of a total of 3 hard backs and 1 paperback book in one week is just too much to spend until I get my business up and running. With Becca’s party last weekend and the holidays coming up… I guess I’ll just put them on my Christmas list…. or slip them in to NEXT payday’s budget!! Oh crap, that’s Thanksgiving.. NO TURKEY FOR YOU… MOMMA NEEDS A NEW BOOK! Maybe I’ll go donate blood or something..

Life sucks and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better. I sure hope 2009 is better for us all!
