Diary of a Madwoman

This madwoman, a 40-something mom of two children, is here to tell you a thing or two about life when you're an overweight, perimenopausal (she has pills for when she laughs too hard, cream for when hair grows where it shouldn’t and patches to prevent hot flashes and aggravation.) She’s claustrophobic, agoraphobic, insomniatic, diabetic, stubborn anxious, hypothyroid, chronic sinusitis, allergenic, Fibromyalgia, asthmatic, migraine queen with two kids (both teens, one with special needs), four INDOOR dogs, a Cockatoo, two ferrets, a husband and PMDD. Why tell you all of this? TO make you feel better of course!

Palin Mania

Just when I thought the world couldn’t get any wackier it does. I was shocked to say the least when I saw that you can buy a Sarah Palin Action Figure. In just, what…2 weeks time there’s a doll. A doll! What next?

Palin also is accused of billing the government for expenses for nights spent at home. She makes (with her allowance) almost $150,000 a year. Granted she has 5 kids to feed but it’s Alaska. What can you buy in Alaska for that amount of money?

Palin’s comeback to the claims expense case. Was simply that she sold off the governor’s private jet (stupid, I think) and dispensed wit the governor’s personal chef (again, stupid. If you don’t have to cook, don’t do it.)

Wow! Maybe I should run for governor. I could handle a big house, with helpful staff people. Imagine all of the things I could accomplish by having other people doing most of my work for me. Where do I apply?

And then there’s the rock band, Heart. You remember that Britney song when she says, “It’s Britney b%$#&!” I believe that’s what Heart meant when Plain stole their song.

So, are you for or against Palin? I’ll let you guess my answer.
