My mind can't seem to quiet down today. I have no motivation to do anything, but my mind is full of thoughts. It feels like my brain is on caffeine while my body is on NyQuil. Heh.
My daughter is gone for a week with her grandma and cousins to Disneyland. I miss her already. I have all this time to do stuff... but no idea where to start. Maybe that's my problem.
I rarely feel like I have enough time... and when I have loads of it, I hit a brick wall. I never know where to start.
I'm stressed out though. The promotion E was supposed to get fell through. His work is just jerking him around and it's taking a toll on him. I just want him to get the compensation he deserves for being such a hard worker. I hate seeing him upset or stressed.
I've started looking for more work. The trouble is that I have no one to watch T after school. So my availability is limited. I'm going to have to look for part-time work close to home. Unfortunately, there isn't much.
It occurred to me that I have very little patience with people any more. I've been randomly going on deleting sprees on Facebook. But honestly, who needs hundreds of "friends" anyway? I delete for different reasons. Most of the people I've deleted were people from my past. Club friends that I never saw or really talked to any more. Who wants to hear about how wasted they got or how they're pushing 40 and still clubbing? Not I.
Most of the time I delete "friends" who post political or religious stuff. I don't mind people being open about their beliefs. But do it in a respectful manner. If you post openly offensive things, knowing that it openly mocks the views of certain friends.... I'll delete you. I have numerous friends who believe the exact opposite of me... but they respect others and their views by not being blatantly offensive!
Don't make fun of my religion and/or my political views. I have no tolerance for those who aim to offend. I don't offend easily, but I still don't want to read that garbage.
I'm very open about my beliefs with my friends. I'm a born-again Christian, a registered Republican, a member of my state's Tea Party movement, pro-life, and very 2nd Amendment. I'm against gay marriage. I'm a supporter of Israel and their interests. I eat meat. I'm all for the humane treatment of animals... but I don't put their rights above humans. I support the death penalty.
The thing is... I'm able to agree to disagree. If someone has differing views, I respect that. Just respect my views as well. I'll debate my views with certain friends. But for the most part, I stay out of political and religious conversations.
I have friends who are atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, Mormons, and even Wiccan. I respect them and their views. They do the same for me.
*sigh* Enough of this tangent. It felt good to write about it though. I'm off to make some coffee and get the kitchen ready to be painted. :)
