« Coastal Cleanup Day - Saturday Sept. 17th | Main | Salsa fresca de mi jardin »

Why is she so fired up lately?

That's right, I'm FIRED UP people! To quote Popeye, I've had all I can stand, and I can't stands no more! I don't have a lot of free time, but it's making me physically ill hearing about all the short-sighted, selfish, greedy, literally EVIL bullshit going on in the world. I either have to do something or else stick my head in the sand and pretend that none of this is happening, and that's just not OK.

Lois, one of the women who started the 34 Million Friends of UNFPA said it best. She believes that citizens have the responsibility to speak out and become involved, and that sitting back and doing nothing is not an acceptable option. Hear hear sister. So from now on, I'm taking action in whatever ways I can...big, small, it all counts.

Yes, I'll get back to telling amusing baby stories and recounting quirky incidents, don't worry. But right now I'm having a FIRED UP moment, and the whole point of this blog is to tell it like it is. Being a mom isn't all Hallmark moments.
