Being Able....

Tonights Topic: Work

I work too much.   I'm tired all the time, I can't tell you the last time I saw my friends, I can't even keep my room clean.  We are so short staffed at work!  Management keeps saying "It will get better."  My question is when the heck is it going to?!?!

BUT.... then I ask myself.....Am I just being lazy? I work 60 hours a week. That is a lot, but not compared to having to work in the summers heat everyday, or hard physical labor.  Right?!?! Working just to make a few dollars to put food on the table.... I at least get to buy myself nice things when I want.  I just feel like they work us to the bone... and then they work us some more!

I just want to be a stay-at-home mom!!! I've heard it's the hardest job, but in comparsion to having someone else raise my kid I would be willing to take the risk! I could also instill my passion for volunteering with my non-exsistant children.  (Just speaking as though one day I get to fufill this part of my dreams)  I could show the world that there really are people who love making others smile, or have big hearts.  Not everyone is out to get you... And just FYI a caring heart is contagious ya know.

Another point (and then I'll get off my soapbox) looking around the hospital, there are so many kids that haven't gotten the chance to be kids, and some won't ever get to.  If God made me able, then I truly feel I should go out and serve! I'm thankful I get to smell the fresh air, even with the crappy pollution! I'm grateful that I get to see the green grass! We are all so so so fortunate.... but yet we are blinded by selfishness.

Moral is... Work is making me thankful for all the little things in life!
