Ugh, I so didn't want to get in to the whole Government shutdown thing. But I have to. Because I need to let out some of the words that are totally bottling up.

Really? You really want to say "I hate the Army" while talking about the shutdown?? Hello, the Army is not keeping your pay. The United States Army is not being paid! PVTs to Generals, all pay is being withheld. So quit your f-ing whining. Especially about the Army. Telling me you 'hate' the Army is like telling a new mom that her baby is ugly- not a good idea. And by the way, isn't your husband a soldier? You really think it's appropriate to say you hate his employer?

And Congress. Come on. Do I even need to go there? If the men and women we elect to run our country cannot do their job, why should they get paid through this 'financial crisis'? If I was not capale of doing my job, I would not continue to rake in the $. In any other job in the world, this type of work ethic and lack of knowledge would never be acceptable.

And you know, I have to blame the American people. It is our fault. We elect them. We allow them to continue to ruin our country. So we have to take the blame. And wake up. Quickly.

Other than that wonderful 'hot-button' topic, my life is pretty grand. The B crew will be heading to the Alps tomorrow morning. We are going on the marraige retreat I talked about the other day. There was a lot of back and forth on that, but we are a Go. So this weekend should be awesome! Not sure what it will mean for my blog. You might not see me until Sunday. If that is the case, I will write every night and then just type them up and post on Sunday...

Now go read this awesome blog, http://rhinoden.rangerup.com/i-hate-congress/

P.S. That little story I started the other day? I promise I will get back to it when my life calms down for five seconds! The ideas have been floating around, but other thoughts are pushing it aside... Hopefully this weekend I will have chill time to write.
