The Power Of The People!

I had the occasion to be in New York City assisting an elderly aunt this week. The weather there was wonderful! Some days had the feel of the malingering of crispness of winter while other days were wonderfully warm. The sun shone brilliantly and it simply felt good having it's long overdue rays wash over me. You see where I live in upstate New York it has been mostly overcast. We've had a few days that were really warm as well but there is always a ten degree difference between where I am upstate and New York City proper as I live in a rural area. After a day of assisting my aunt with the tasks at hand we I began to notice something very unique. Now don't get me wrong. People have always worn hoodies. They wear them under their jackets usually in the winter time or on those "iffy" weather days in case they need to pull up the hood to feel a little warmer or in case of rain or snow. But this week I saw almost everyone wearing hoodies! All races of people were wearing hoodies, even on the warmest day. Children were wearing hoodies--most of them brand new! Teens wore them, the elderly wore them and there was no question in my mind that what I was witnessing was a silent coalition of people making their statements about young Trayvon Martin and their support of his family. The details of the legal process now begun is all over the news and finally the process is in motion. But this post is not about that. It's about something more. Something began to happen when the 99% began to unite. Now something else is happening. Something some power players should fear: THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE!

Thank The Gods! Ann Romney Knows About Being A Stay At Home Mom.

So what Seamus's abuser knows about women's issues comes from his stay-at-home-wife/mom. I find that very comforting!

Of course their sons went to private school and of course she had the arduous task of supervising tutoring when needed.

She had to drive two Cadillac's! Of course this meant she to make sure someone else kept them running properly. Changing a flat tire was hard too...waiting for someone to come get her while someone else changed the flat and got the car home for her.

I am sure it took a lot of imagination and planning and effort to shop for groceries and cook dinners and make lunches too! I am tired already!

In between waiting for her sons to get home/finish with their tutors etc. I can only imagine how hard it was to schedule hair dresser appointments, full body wraps, manicures and do the hard work of sitting in a spa to relieve all the stress.

Working mothers do not get the credit they deserve. I know. I was a single mom and also caregiver for my disabled mom at the same time I was raising my daughter. I was also going to night college to finish my degree. I had numerous emergency room runs in the middle of the night monthly because of my mom's fragile health and my daughter's chronic ear infections.

I am so relieved that Mrs. Dog Abuser understands what it was all like. After all dialing for a private physician to make a house call and waiting for him is nerve wrecking to be sure.

I am truly at ease knowing how well Seamus's abusers know the plight of women, even stay at home moms who often do the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, meal planning, help with homework personally and fret waiting for triple A to come if the car breaks down.

Yep. The dog abusers understand and know all there is to know about being a woman. What will the rest of us do without them?
