Most of the crazies in history have issued a manifesto before getting down to business, so why shouldn't I do the same? I'm not trying to change the world with my manic thoughts and postings. If I change one person's opinion, I'll consider myself lucky. As long as that opinion is not from "I like her" to "I cannot stand her; she is absolutely off her rocker." I may be off my rocker, but that's no reason to hate me. Such meanies out there!
Anyway, I started this new blog as a place to get these random thoughts and musings out of my head. Hey! This is sort of like Dumbledore's pensieve. That's what I think I'll name this. My Pensieve. I like the sound of that. I had named it Venations of a Stressed Out Mom, or something like that, but I like the Pensieve idea better. Wonder if it will let me change it? I'll try. Yay! I think it let me change it. Sorry, my adult ADD is showing. Oh wait, I was told it was "ADHD without the H" now. I thought that was just ADD, but I guess I'm wrong. Not the first time. Won't be the last.
Anyhooo.....
I don't have a set topic I will vent about. Could be politics, sports, religion, society, .... It's going to be whatever pops into my brain. Read it or don't. I don't care. My previous blog, "Walking With My Wounded Warrior," was a success, but that was pretty limited in topic. This one won't be.
If you don't like a topic or something I said, there is this nifty little x on the upper right hand corner. If you click it, the screen disappears! Go ahead and do it if you don't like what I am venting about. I really don't need the hater comments. You are welcome to comment whatever you wish, because unlike SOME people, I don't restrict freedom of speech, but I won't allow personal attacks. If you want to point out something about any fact I might have gotten wrong, you can do that without calling me a raving, lunatic bitch. You don't need to insult my intelligence. My kids do enough of that. "Mom, you don't know anything." "Mom, you are so old." They don't do that often, but they are teenagers. At least, three of them are. The other two just act like it.
So, that's my manifesto. Basically, to sum it up in one word - ventation. Yeah, that's not a real word. I thought I made it up, but when I googled it, something about "Ventation of a Crook," by a Mr. Pookie came up. Whoever that is.
Until next time, I remain,
a fed up, stressed out mom
