Today was the so called Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. It is called the biggest sale day of year, I have never went out shopping on Black Friday, I do not like huge crowds and hate the rudeness of the people on this kind of a day. I saw one report of a Wal-mart employee killed by a stampeding crowd in New York. I would hate to think how those people would act if it was an emergency or a natural disaster. Makes me want to stay in my house with my dogs with the door locked.
Craziness
Do you ever wonder why people act so crazy during the holidays? I used to until I had children and became a single mom. It can be too much stress and pressure to keep up with the Jones’s as they say. Kids talk to each other in school and adults talk to their friends, and everyone wants to have what everyone else has or better. There is an expectation for the holidays that is almost impossible to achieve in today’s economy. Everything is so expensive that is get harder and harder each year to keep up. I do the best that I can and my kids thankfully understand that. I am grateful to have such understanding kids who do not expect the world handed to them on a silver platter. They are truly grateful for the life that they have.
Tired lately
I have been really tired lately. I don’t know if it is because I have been sleeping too hard or what. I am getting plenty of sleep, but still don’t want to get up in the morning. I haven’t been doing anything different in my life, nothing more strenuous then usual. I just cannot figure out why I am so danged tired all the time. Maybe it is just this time of year. The holidays are always stressful and this year is no exception.
I am going to go see my doctor and get checked out. It is probably like I said, stress, but I want to be sure. I have too much to take care of with the kids and all to fall sick. I will make the appointment when I get off of here.
