Shed some light

We'll do this from worst to best, peeps.

I'm crying. I read the paper. It's the same when I watch the news. I am horrified and disgusted by this stupid world. Why isn't there MORE good news? It's across the board, too. Take your pick...the kid who got slowly and painfully beat to death--if that wasn't bad enough he'd been sexually abused daily since he was 10---I almost felt happy for him to be off this stupid planet after reading that. Stupid world. Robberies, homeless people overdosing...and then a proposed pay freeze for teachers- again.
WTF!!!!!!!!! How are we so stupid!?? WHY aren't we legalizing prostition and regulating and getting in on some of that money? WHY don't we have a state owned casino? People give FREELY there, and constantly! WHY are we stealing from the people who are RAISING OUR CHILDREN??? How long are teachers suposed to stick around? We're going to keep losing teachers, and schools and getting bigger and bigger class sizes and it's STUPID. How long can you love a job so much and give so much of your time and your own money away before you say you just can't do it anymore???? How are we SO STUPID?! AND MN has the biggest gaping hole between the acheivement of it's ..oh how did they phrase it...gotta go look..BETWEEN IT'S *WHITE* STUDENTS AND IT'S POOR RACIAL MINORITIES. I don't know where to vomit first.
How about if they also licensed stay at home mom's, paid us even minimum wage, called us professional mothers and maybe more people would stay home with their kids, thus saving them daycare money, OR maybe even MORE people would homeschool their kids (you'd be surprised how many are actually doing it, and the number is growing all the time due to the issues the public school systems encounter), and that would relieve some of the congestion in the classrooms? And why isn't marijuana legal yet? I'm not a fan of it. I think adults who do it are a little bit pathetic (said the girl who dreams of a reason to take some vicodin), but whatever. It's everywhere. How can we focus on ANYTHING when we're so busy busting the sale and ownership of weed? We're SO STUPID. No wonder we have war. We're too stupid to get along together.
People are whining about all the immigration....but if you were a refugee and you were running for your life, would you not need someone to open their arms to you? And would you not be grateful for the opportunity? Why are people bitching. It isn't like things were great before. Before immigration gave us someone to point fingers at, we so desperately needed a reason to fight (because we're so fucking stupid), we pointed fingers at one another. A CIVIL WAR? Now that is THE all time stupidest thing ever. And we do plenty good picking on our own people as is. God forbid someone is another color or another sexuality or another sex even. SO STUPID.
But I digress. Freeze those teachers' pay again. Brilliant. That will solve everything.
Second up in my ladder: Cullen is terminated. We had a talk last night. He of course felt threatened when I voiced how much I really didn't want him to work at Fed Ex anymore, because all of our major issues have revolved around this, as I told you yesterday. I didn't mean to make him feel threatened, and the more we discussed how great the insurance is and the freedom it will give us down the road, I settled down. We decided that if he were to get terminated, we still can't lose. He can try to GFT it, and if that doesn't work- great. We'll be like everyone else who has one job and insurance from that one job and call it good. If it works, fine.
He went to the Legion at 8:30am, to say what up and see ya to his coworkers. On Saturdays most of them go over there for awhile unless a plane is late or whatever. Planes have been late because of the snow storms and horrible weather. He waited for a half hour and then left. For some reason that made me feel so sad that the tears started all over again. I felt bad for him in general even though everything is all good.
He was super motivated to do some spring cleaning, and the basement is all cleaned out. Now the 2 storage areas are being done. We're so awesome, there's barely anything in storage, and I look forward to ditching more stuff so when we take off in our RV, we won't have much to get rid of.
AND that, friends, brings us to the most KICK ASS thing of the day. Are you ready? This was my horoscope for today- turns out I'm still a Leo because of when I was born. I warned you. Are you ready?

No shit, huh?
