It’s Mother’s Day…Martyr Up!
Author: Stacy9 May
It’s almost Mother’s Day, and we know what that means…time to pander to all the moms out there by pointing out how much they “should” be getting paid.
I hate these articles, studies, analyses, whatever you want to call them. Want to know why? Because motherhood is a lifestyle choice. It is not a job.
As a comparison, I have two dogs…and have had them for 9 and 11 years, respectively. They are living creatures which require that I tend to their needs or they will die. Getting these dogs was a lifestyle choice. While I realize Poodle and Schnoozer will not be contributing to society, it is my responsibility to make sure I have raised them so they don’t annoy the crap out of everyone with their barking, or run around loose and bite people or defecate on other people’s lawns. Sadly, I wish more parents would raise their children with the same basic level of respect for others.
Having said that, I do not raise my fist in solidarity with other pet owners, demanding that some entity appreciate my sacrifices and pay me for my many pet owner-associated jobs which include pet food nutritionist, veterinarian, groomer, personal trainer, and behaviorist.
Red State Fever…Catch It!

I was at physical therapist’s office last night waiting for my pilates class to start, and when I was in the waiting room, two 70-ish men sat down on the couch across from me.
The first man said, “So, which do you think is the lesser of three evils in the Presidential race?” The second replied with, “I dunno. I guess I’ll vote for McCain. What about you?” The first followed up with, “McCain, too. I guess. Although I don’t really want to.”
Can’t you just feel the energy? The excitement? The unbridled emotion?
I think that speaks for the vast majority of Republicans around here, based on what my ears have absorbed over the past few months. It’s even worse for moderates like me. Personally, I’m not a fan of either side this election. Although, I did like John McCain’s choice of Dwight Schrute as his running mate. The beet could become the national vegetable.
