Stop complaining! Do something!

I am sooo guilty of this, I like to gripe about all manner of things but rarely do much more than that. But, the recent turn in the economy has so me so tired of hearing everyone whine. We will get through this no I don't know how or when but we will get through it. Hopefully, we will learn from it so our kids don't have to go through something similar. Please don't think that I don't know that things are bad, I do get it! I also get that it sucks and A LOT of people are suffering, but you know what A LOT of people have been suffering for a lot longer. Go to Mississippi, Louisiana, or even D.C. and take a look at the vets who served our country so long ago ,and gave so much and have needed us for a long time and no one helps. We just shake our heads and say how sad it is. Again, I am so guilty of this. Every week I watch with tears in my eyes some family on Extreme Home Makeover and think I should do something to help someone.

I am not independently wealthy as the checker at Price Chopper suggested because I could afford to pay for my daughters formula without the help of W.I.C. But, I definitely have enough to help other people. I have time, and I am a resourceful gal. So, I am pledging now I will do something just one thing every week to help someone in need. I hope I can inspire others to do the same. I will keep everyone updated on how it it going!

thanks Eric, F OFF!

Yes, I am a little bit pissed so just had to put a quick note. I asked my ever so loving jack*** of a husband to read my blog and the first thing he says is "Do they have spell check?" My response, I bet you can see what is coming! F off A**hole! I just wanted you to read it and so sorry I mistakenly wrote trail instead of trial, and yes they have spell check but since both are words the computer did not pick up on it either. Which just means neither the computer nor I are as smart as him! Anyway, just needed to vent for a minute. I may kill him in his sleep!

What do I think? Not that anyone cares!

I think I should be cleaning but instead I am sitting at my computer blogging and looking at craigslist, oh and let's not forget webkinz! But, I was pondering today why we worry about things so much! really, nothing good comes from it! Eric's grandma (Yes, crazy Fannie) asked her son one day how he was doing and he said not good he was worried.(He was about to have surgery.) Fannie casually replied " Why, if you are worried and nothing happens. You worried for nothing. If you worry and you die, it does not matter because your dead." That has stuck with me now for years. But truer words have not been spoken. So , I am going to try to turn over a new leaf and let some things go! Of course, we will always worry about our kids and numerous other things but hopefully as you start to get that knot in the pit of your stomach you can recall Fannie's rare moment of sanity and wisdom. Also, talking about wise words my grandfather(who I never met) said if money can fix it it ain't broken! So, there that is what I think! Again, not that anyone cares!

Come on! Really!

OK, so a few of my friends have started blogging so I figured I could give it a try, and I love to b****, so this seems perfect! If you know me you probably know about why I named my blog fix it - jennie, alright there is three reasons. First, from SNL it was great! Second, because I am the person most people call when they want someone to FIX IT! and last but absolutely not the least, I have been sick for a LONG time and want them to you got it fix it!

So there you have it! Now, I am out of things to write! Oh, yeah that right my B**** of the day! Kids with guns! Really, people come on! And you want to put a CHILD on trial as an adult! Really! How about putting on trial the idiots who put the guns in his hands! Oh, that's right one is dead! Along with her unborn baby! Well, one idiot down! I did not mean that as harsh as it sounded but seriously people how can we not see this coming! It would surprise me more if someone had not died after they gave an eleven year old free range with a 20 gauge shot gun! Then, there is the 7 or 8 year old who shot himself at the gun show with his ER Doctor dad looking on! Oh no ,but he is not at fault for putting an oozie in his sons hands it was the fault of the gun show people ( who do hold a small minuscule amount of responsibility in this but ultimately that is a parental choice.) So as we watch the news and this continues to happen and each time we are horrified that children accidentally or intentionally shot themselves or someone else. Remember the right to bear arms!
