So tired of winter

Not only am I tired of the constant snow and ice, I'm tired of my poor child getting sick, me worried about her being sick, etc.

I want the warmer weather now, I want to see the flowers popping up through the ground. I want to run around in the back yard with my daughter, without taking 20 minutes to get her dressed (freaking snow pants!).

I'm weary, my winter coat seems to get heavier everyday. My boots drag my feet down. How I want to wear my flip flops.

I can't wait for Spring, to get out and breathe the fresh air without having my lungs fill with icicles!

"The State of the Union"

Over the past couple of days the country has gone crazy. A man shoots and stabs his wife in front of her students. A man walks into a city Council meeting an kills 5 people. A man walks into a Lane Bryant and shoots and kills people. A student in Louisiana Kills 2 students and herself. A man in LA kills his family and a SWAT officer.

Wake up, the violence in this country is getting more and more common and brutal. WE need to take a stand and make sure we are safe to walk the streets. If you suspect that you see a "warning sign" please stand up and report it. We don't need any more senseless killings in our neighborhoods.

Just shut up about my kid-

Yes ok my kid is: short, tall, tiny, big, not talking, talking too much, happy, sad, tired, energetic, shy, eats too much, eats too little, cries, throws a tantrum, shouldn't be in a stroller, shouldn't be on a leash, shouldn't be running through the store, etc. I get it, now keep you freaking comments to yourself and let us mom's raise our kids the best way we know how. Go bother someone else.

So who do I choose?

They say vote the best candidate for the job. In the "real world" that would be all fine and good, but we live in a society where appearance matters.
SO as a white democratic female, if I don't vote for the black candidate am I a racist? Or is it if I don't vote for the woman am I turning my back on my gender?
