In the two weeks since I put my first post up, I have done almost nothing with my life. I keep thinking at little moment through each day that maybe this would make an interesting post. Then I shake my head and tell myself, nope, not interesting enough, move on. Well, the truth is, my life isn't interesting. At least to anyone other than me. Possibly a few of my friends. I stay home, I clean. I go online to see what the world is up to. I knit, I crochet, I get annoyed with my kids or my husband or all of them. I sew, I take the dogs for a walk. I cook and clean some more. Most days are just some repeat cycle of this. Add in a little job hunting here and there when I'm not disappointed about the previous 50 applications I've sent to companies and received no answer.
The fact that my life can be wrapped up in a few rambling sentences should make anyone cringe. I don't regret any decisions I've made to get me here, I made them, I own it. But I do wish that the kids and hubby could acknowledge that I'm little more than a cook and maid at their disposal. Well, enough of my self pitting ramblings for today.
I did realize over the last two weeks that I am very bitter towards things like the news and newscasters and news companies, add to that the general public as well. I have lost count of how many times I have been watching the news or reading a newspaper article and had more questions than answers after the so called report. I've noticed how especially since I moved to Albuquerque, that the local news channels are very biased, left or right depending on which network you watch. They don't report the news, they instigate it with special investigations and no matter what it always is made to be the fault of some politician, or other type of official, police included. A quick example....Albuquerque(very unfortunately) has a very high police involved shooting rate. Many times I'm sure there may have been a way to circumvent the situation and avoid a hooting altogether. But, as we live in a world where there are people who wish harm to everyone, it isn't 100% preventable. Not too long ago there was a situation here where a guy held an assault rifle pointed at police http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/police-id-man-shot-by-swat-officer . This is the updated most recent story about the incident. In it you can read that the guy was threatening and behaving in a way that would warrant a police reaction. However, the unfortunate officer that did shoot him was ridiculed by the the news and ripped apart for doing his JOB. I honestly don't know what the world is coming to. I will post more about this and other things that irk me, right now I gotta go get some air.
