WOW (Worn. Out. Woman)

TO: Scholars, Over-achievers, and Over-thinkers.  Why do you kill yourself with love and kindness? Because we know so much, because we seek to know more, sometimes we miss what's staring us right in the face. We miss it , because it's too simple, too small. We burn up kilocalories  frantically searching for the best way to do this or the best product, or the best service . We consult the most sophisticated search engines to find the quickest meal or party prep.,or the route to school functions or events that our significant others want us to attend. We go to college, hold jobs, are primary caregivers , we clean house, cook meals, do laundry, referee fights,arguments, games , family get togethers , etc., etc.,.WHY?  Because, although we know she doesn't exist we are on some MAD quest to be Super Wonder woman or Wonder Super woman! She's no more real than the Easter Bunny or you know who?!  Yet we toprture ourselves this way. You are ONE WOMAN , though we can do many of these things I say to STOP!!!..... STOP. You're setting yourself up for a major meltdown .  Albeit, we love them with all of our hearts and we want the best for them,  Lead with your Brain ,not your Heart. Always remember that they are a thankless lot !! (lol )  A love and energy guzzlingmonster. The more you do , the more they want you to do. The better you are at doing things the worse it's going to be after your breakdown/ meltdown. Trust me it can, and will happen to YOU.  When you're no longer there for them because it's all gone, you'll be there hoveling in the corner of the sofa with a blank stare, they will blame you for ruining their lives because they will have to do for themselves, the highlight of their day will be deciding what facility to put you in, so that you don't embarass them in front of people.  A challenging thought people;  If you're being Super Wonder woman , Whose taking care of your needs,wants etc., ???  DON'T FOOL YOURSELF, YOU DO HAVE some!!!!

I'm sooo over it.!!

You would think that with all of the technology available that the world is moving at the speed of light.  Well it is if you want to purchase absolutely any and all things offered on every electronic device that exists on this planet, at any given time.  However, if you want to do smart shopping, or ask a question about said product or service... you will find that technology has actually slowed to a snails pace.  If you make a phone call to speak to a live person to get answers about anything, you may want to just save yourself some time and run for office... any office. You may find that easier to accomplish. First of all, it is no longer possible to dial a number and hear ringing. If you do, it will be answered by a recorded voice offering you menu selections to help them serve you better. That is the beginning of the problem. Although,, they give you nine choices, chances are, none of those will be the one you want. If you think it's safer calling companies that you are already a member of, think again. They are worse because they will want your account number, or social security number, or something else, to serve you faster, only to ask you for all of that again when you finally get to speak to Some one.  That chance may be available to you in no less than 15min. after you've been placed on hold, no matter how short a wait they promise you.  After holding for 30 minutes the only thing that trumps you hanging up is them hanging up on you while trying to take your call.!!! Thaat makes me feel HOMICIDAL. Now I know that technology is subjective. I use it to find out where to get it and how much it will cost. I ask my questions when I am face to face . If I can't decide from the info I get  off the web, then , I wait until I'm out shopping.
