Things will not change simply because you griped about it to a friend or relative.
"It would not make a difference" is the wrong attitude to have.
Try something new for a change. Use your connections to spread useful, noteworthy information. This is a new day, information can be shared with an infinite amount of people with a few simple keystrokes.
It will not take more than 60 years to get a message from {Check this out Read here}Washington to Alabama.

You must get involved. Unless you are prepared to just curl up and waste away you have to do something. We have the means we only need the will. 

I challenge you to buy a newspaper find out what is happening in your region. For instance when was the last time you wrote your Representative? Or has your Governor ever visited your city? When is the next town meeting? School Board? Parents, when is the next PTA/PTO meeting?Do not berate yourself for not knowing the answers to all of these questions. Just demand more of yourself. We have to live in this town, this City, this State and this Country and we have the magnificent right of  Free Speech.

Just as we must stretch or move to prevent muscle atrophy, we must flex our Constitutional Rights. If we do not then we are left to be led and are unable to survive without a costly helping hand.

Blatant HONESTY

Occasionally I feel used. For my knowledge that is. How would you feel if you learned that you were being taken advantage of? Simply doing things the right way, nothing special. If ever someone is in need, you assist. This practice simply keeps your moral compass pointing due north. Now you take that and later learn that it was all for a stupid game. Just what do you do?
As I often say; I am a quick learner. Only when the wrongdoing is impossible to fathom.
What are you suppose to do then? Well it is said that you should be prepared. In order to be prepared you have to change your routine, your attitude, and so many other things that make you who you are. It sure would be easier if everyone would cooperate and just do what is right. What am I supposed to do now, that is what I want to know? I have already made a fool of myself by being taken like that. Do I make an even bigger fool of myself by confronting the person about it. No, I just stop helping. Well, not everyone just that person and anyone else that tries this scheme.

I digress; In the simplest of terms it is not fun to be used.

So, that brings me to a question for which I long an answer. Must a person always conform? Is conforming a type of adaptation? Conformity is for the scared followers. I will not change my ways to accommodate an imbecile. 

Find your voice and use it. You are who you want to be and no one can change that.

It is, okay to want MORE

Yes, I want more. Do we all not want more? More Faith, freedom and whatever brings you happiness. Right now I want more information. No particular subject matter, just information. Quite often I just want more time. More time to finish a project, more time to relax and last but not least more time to sleep. Which leads me to my point; I require information on how to accomplish all the duties of a working mother, in the rural south and in the process of re-establishing my religion manage a full nights rest each night.

During the day I thrive once I get started, but as the day winds down I do the opposite and begin the second half of my day. I love all that I do, there just does not seem to be enough of me to do it all. I wonder often what is wrong with me, and why an accumulation of such simple tasks can be overwhelming. Then I must forget my woes and move on, the Family awaits. There are some that may not have a clue that a being a Wife and Mother are full time jobs just so. In addition I have a full time job that offers ample overtime. No complaints here, just simply stating the facts. As a wife I must assist, offer encouragement and be available at any given time. Well as a mother it is rather the same requirements only extremely demanding. The ritual; same dance slightly different tune each day. Now the children are asleep and I use that time to complete another task/duty. There is always something to be done. It feels like I do it all. Is that whining? Am I being boastful? No, just stating the facts as I know them to be. Finally, I have made it through another day. At this point you would think I would drop to sleep. 

Not I, it is movie time and I will dream for feels like thirty minutes, but is actually 3 - 4 hours. Then I will wake look at the clock and realize I have only an hour before the blasted alarm begins to buzz. I cannot go back to sleep, so naturally I toss and turn for the entire hour and get up and start all over again. Monday through Saturday this is my life. 

It may seem unlikely to those that do not understand. 

Then some may say I am on vacation and I should get a real job, because I have plenty of time.

This is why I Love my life and only seek information on how to better manage my responsibilities.
