Soap box

I would consider myself a good listener.  I don't know what always to say to people but I will listen and listen sincerely.  Sometimes when I'm listening, I will hear things that make my blood boil and it makes me want to do more than just listen.  I despise hearing about abuse (physical or mental), child neglect (physical or mental), religion (when it's put into a "i'm right and you're wrong" context) and politics.  Those topics, when brought up, make my listening ear want to turn into an active fist.
There's more but these are enough to show that folks simply do not think about other people or their feelings before saying or doing anything.  We live in such a selfish, self-righteous society that it makes me sad and a little nauseated. 
Abuse and child neglect are as common as ice cream on a hot summer day and no one seems to care.  I am frustrated at our legal system for this.  I mean, someone can sue McDonalds for putting that coffee is "hot" on their cups?  Really?  I mean REALLY???  And politics?  I am ashamed to be a registered voter sometimes.  Government has become a joke.  You can't believe anything they say.  They are all liars!  It's all about money and helping out illegal immigrants.  Holy cow!
Religion.  I was born and raised Roman Catholic.  I like being Roman Catholic.  Does that mean that everyone else is wrong in what they believe just because they are not Roman Catholic?  No.  Read the bible.
Prayer is what's lacking.  If everyone would spend some time talking to God EVERY day and listening to what He has to say, we would be in alot better shape and we could live in religious peace.
So . . . yeah.  I think that's it.

Hello 2011!!!

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since December 2010.  Well . . .
I started school in January 2011 and it's been interesting, to say the least.  Working full-time and taking care of the boys when John is out of town most of the time is a challenge in and of itself.  I just added school to my plate and wham!  I have no life til May 11th.  I get the summer off and start again in August 2011, that is, if I can pass this semester.  It's been a toughy.  The line-up is as follows:
Anatomy and Physiology
Computer Applications
Medical Terminology
Biology Review
CPR for Healthcare Providers
It's about as much fun as it looks.  Oh what I will do for a better life . . . and to get out of working retail.  I just hope I can do it.  Science and me have never gotten along, ever since high school.  Now I'm diving head first into it trying to find my way as a Medical Assistant.
I don't think I've uttered the words "I'm bored" for several months now.  Life is breezing by and I've resorted to calendars, reminders and beepers to keep it all straight.  My memory isn't what it used to be.  Now I feel bad for making fun of my mom when I was a teenager and she couldn't remember something I told her 30 min. earlier.  I will have to apologize for that. 
Well, I can't think of anything else.  This semester is over on May 11th so I will update then.
