Give me a break................


Why must life be so hard………………..?? The stories of people losing their 2nd and 3rd homes to foreclosure , children abused by their Mom’s ex boyfriend, animals starved by crazy people with 15 indoor cats living in a trailer with one litter box. These are the kind of stories in our news papers.
Don’t you want to scream, “LISTEN DUMMY, WAKE UP, AND SMELL REALITY”!!!
That is what I think…………………….. The serious stories of loss, and hardship are sad and disheartening. But this stuff makes me NUTS. In America the “Land of Plenty,” maybe we should take a second look at what we have, and what our priorities are…………
If it must take 2 incomes to buy that MAC-DADDY ski lodge retreat, should you really buy it? If your current boyfriend has felony for assault and battery, should he REALLY baby-sit your kid? If you live in a trailer, should you really have more than one animal living with you? Come on America, this isn’t life being hard, this is us being STUPID!!
God is good, life is hard, I am blessed,
Carrie

I shouldn't, but I did...laugh out loud at this.

Carrie, I agree with you. Whatever happened to counting our blessings (and using our brains)?
