Putting life into words...

Life is really ...
*interesting
*exciting
*scary
*full of possibilities
*...

How do I say what is on my chest? I just don't know. I am frustrated with my work. I am dealing with big business practices, global threats, treatment of mother earth, etc. Is it all worth it? Should I be doing something more? I feel like I am want to become an activist against something, but where do I start? Where do I go?
Then again, I am gaining happiness in my daily life. Trying to spend more time with my kids and keeping our family life good. I am a parent of a teenager, a tween, and a young girl going on 18 (7 really). I feel stretched and pulled and torn between it all, yet I am feeling like there is something out there still to find.
Is this just my age? Is it just the situations I am currently in and the way life has twisted around me over the last few years? I have so many titles to answer "who are you?", yet then I would have to say that I have yet to figure it out too. I feel odd feeling these things, I have never been the type to worry about tomorrow. Maybe it is just everything around me.
*My bil in Iraq
*Gas Prices
*China Recalls
*Big Business not caring about their effect on the earth and this country
*Bil in jail again and the injustices of this situation
*Sil in jail (where she should be)
*Parental health declining
*Strained sibling relationships

Maybe just maybe, as I list these things... I see why it is so important to me to do a better job with my kids. To try to raise them strong, healthy, respectful, and KIND.

Ok... Why does HSN have to take breaks from Scrapbooking shows? I was doing just fine, doing laundry and watching the TV. LOL

Wow, you have a lot on your mind.
I don't think it's your age....maybe. I have been feeling the same way lately. It's getting me down. Hopefully things will turn around soon.

Gotta have my Coca-Cola!!
