Most days my tv viewing is a mix of the following: Cyberchase reruns; Curious George; Wild Kratts; My Little Pony; Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Doc McStuffins. By the time we get the kids to stay in bed and the kitchen cleaned up I just go to bed. Did you ever see the Kratts other show, Zooboomafoo? My oldest loved that one and it'd didn't annoy me much. I'm tired of people who say "I done" instead of "I gone done" A recent FB post related to something the kids did.........."They gone done a great job"

I'm tired of having a car payment and it has only been 3 months. Sorry Phil, I know I am getting 1.85% interest but I might just have to pay this stupid thing off in the next year or so... I hear you. When credit card companies were handing out 0% checks I borrowed a bunch and stuck it in ING that at the time was paying closer to 2%. I still hated the monthly obligation so much that I paid them off less than halfway through the 0% term.

Bitching about autism. But hey, that's what I live with every frickin day. I don't have any friends. I feel isolated. I want to work but can't. Oh, figure it out to those that say, sure you can. I'm on call 24/7 and what employer in this day n age is going to give a shit.
Just feeling extremely bitter tonight.

I've never had a car dealership ignore me, which is good because I am the one that writes the checks.

I'm going to have to agree with everyone who is tired of being tired. Susana-I don't think they make a vitamin to fix me. More sleep will fix it, but I'm not sure I can work that in my schedule until the slow season.
I'm tired of feeling behind on everything.

I have unfollowed two crazy moms who constantly post crap their kids are doing. Seriously? You're the only one that cares THAT much. The rest of us have a life, thank you very much I unfollowed a couple of FB contacts who had nothing to do all day but post recipes I wouldn't allow in my kitchen (usually some combination of crescent rolls, cheese, sausage, bacon, etc. or Cool Whip, chocolate pudding mix, peanut butter).
Like a previous poster, I got tired of depressing news long ago. I do read the daily paper and follow news podcasts in a couple of languages, but when I get tired of murders and the Middle East, I fast forward. Some things just make me feel helpless and depressed, so I try to stay aware but also minimize my exposure.

My DD got them out recently and the younger kids did not have a clue what Zooboomafoo was or who the Kratt Brothers are. My kids were about 5 and 8 at the time.

I'm on call 24/7 and what employer in this day n age is going to give a shit. Just feeling extremely bitter tonight. Les, I have a FB friend who has a daughter that was Autistic, ADD and Bi-Polar. Many people don't like her posts on facebook, but then again she gets a lot of suppor. I have a second HS friend who lives in the state, but not locally. She and her DH are both diabled and she posted recently that Her husband got a DUI for impairment from prescription drugs. Since he is diabled, he got a month on Huber, but since he can't work a month of Huber = a month of incarrceration. While he was incarcerrated they lost his SSI and foodstamp benefits. She could not afford her depression meds and was posting very scary poor me, no one cares tipe of posts. I thought she got a lot of good supportive comments. When she posted that she would be able to afford her meds again the following month, someone said (Geraldo Rivera I think) has a program to help people afford prescription meds in an emergency. Some people are insensitive, but just as many are supportive. You just got to sift out the ones that are not helpful. My friend's daughter that was Autistic, ADD and Bi-Polar just graduated from HS. She went to state for her music and got something like 3 firsts. She has an amazing voice and acted in the school play. She is far from perfect and her mother's life is not smooth by any means, but wow she really does have talent. Both my friends sometimes I wonder why they post som much poor me my life is so rotten stuff. My SIL is FB friends with one of them and she says she gets amusement from reading her posts. She says my friend posts all that stuff b/c she is panhandling. I suspect my SIL is right, but the lives these two are living is very difficult and I will not make fun of them or crisize them. I have been tempted to send $$ myself, but I will not until we are in a better place financially. Until then, I do everything I can to offer emotional support. Your son is very diabled. Working would probably offer you respite or diversion from the drugery of his care, but it is probably not realistic. Hugs. Just soldier on, and know not everyone expects you to get a job. Your family is one of the ones those programs were designed to help. You are entitled to the help.

I bet the kids had a good time at the show at the zoo. DS liked it so much, I got him a DVD of it for Christmas this past year.

Les63, big hugs and lots of positive energy being sent your way! I have no productive advice, but boy, I sure wish I did. I don't know what to suggest to help, but I DO know you need to take care of YOU, too. Somehow, someway. Do you have any kind of day care centers available to help you with Noah? Or, in-home assistance for you to get a few moments of peace? I hope physical therapy for Noah is an option. And I really, really hope he heals fast and the surgery works!
My "tired" is I'm tired of fighting with DH. Over STUPID things. I know that's a sign of bigger, underlying issues. Not sure what yet, but it sure is exhausting. However, I know there are lots of people like les63 and her family and I then remind DH that we're "lucky" to fight over just silly things, but then he just gets more difficult. Whatever.

Let's see: I'm tired of Direct TV claiming to give me "X" number of channels when several of them provide nothing but infomercial programming. I'm tired of being tired about what is happening in our country and around the world: - the poor economy - the problems in the Middle East, the Ukraine, etc. - the unsecured U.S. borders - a federal government that is out of control and cannot administrate its way out of a paper bag - turning the health care insurance system upside down by passing a law that nobody read, that is obviously a mess based on all the changes that have been made, that will cost in the trillions of dollars, that has provided insurance to no more than 9 million people (last I heard) which is a drop in the bucket, and that does nothing to bring down the actual cost of health care or ensure in any way that quality health care will be provided. I'm sure I could come up with more, but I'm tired of thinking about it.

I'm tired of dirtbags trading dirty pictures of their grandkids online to other dirtbags and denying it, even when I shove the photographic proof of it in their faces. I'm tired of the "justice" system that seems to provide justice only to the accused without concern to the victims. I'm tired of watching little kids turned into pawns for the amusement of adults who don't care that they've just ruined a life. I'm tired.

I unfollowed a couple of FB contacts who had nothing to do all day but post recipes I wouldn't allow in my kitchen (usually some combination of crescent rolls, cheese, sausage, bacon, etc. or Cool Whip, chocolate pudding mix, peanut butter).
while I don't make those types of things on a weekly or even a monthly basis, don't you ever entertain? I love recipes for yummy treats to make for book club, bunco, my annual holiday open house, etc. DH bakes cookies for the church coffee hour, and those are pure butter, sugar, etc. Plenty of our friends are in our age group and need to watch fat and cholesterol. When we entertain, I enjoy the challenge of serving good food made from good ingredients that doesn't clog your arteries. There will be dessert- you HAVE to have dessert!- but if it's not DH's cookies, it's something light made with fresh fruit in season. Some of the recipes my friends post are just horrifying- one for peanut butter pie was over 1,000 calories for a slice that was 1/6 of the pie. (Not that that's ever posted with the recipes, of course- I look it up out of morbid curiosity.) If my friends were marathon runners, I'd make that, but we're not. I also try to avoid processed ingredients, which is why I'd never make something that included Cool Whip, crescent roll dough or chocolate pudding mix.

well some of us like to live on the edge! I'm sorry but going to a party and having the dessert be something light made with in-season fresh fruit is just boring.

If I have a choice of eating 5 healh-"ier" dessert compared to one really unhealthy one, I'd no doubt choose the former. And ultimately, its the choise of the host. As the host serves, so the guests eat

Oh my goodness - I LOVE peanut butter pie! Not sure if this is the same recipe I have but it is made with cream cheese, peanut butter, chocolate chips, can't remember what else... but it is freaking delicious! I generally only make it for special occasions though (e.g. friends parties, holidays, etc.) because, like you said, it has a ton of calories.

Yeah, I don't go to a party to eat healthy. You know, life is too short for that crap. I exercise and eat healthy during the week. I am not spending Saturday night watching every calorie but to each their own.

I joined FB a little over a year ago, and shortly afterward, my whole family got the stomach flu. I couldn't do much while sick, but I was checking out FB and what do I see but one pic after another of nasty looking food. (it probably would have looked really good if I didn't feel like crap) Yeah--that's exactly what I want to see when I'm feeling nauseous! I've hated all those food pics and recipes ever since.
