I Can Bitch Moan Complain...........

....or I can get off my ass and do something. Tuesday night I went to the local chapter of League of Women Voters, and have joined. I will be able to get involved at a local level and help to make changes in this country I hope. I had a wonderful time at the meeting, met quite a few very intelligent women who are passionate about this organization. Women from all walks of life, and ages. I also am looking into joing NOW, an organization I very much support. However, from what I've seen I don't know how much is going on with them in my area. Driving down to Minneapolis on a weekly basis is just not something I can commit to..

I know what I'm doing ,rasing my children to be good people, and educating them at home is important. However, it is very isolating and I need to do something for me, that has nothing to do with the care of small children. Maybe some day it will lead to something that actually pays a little money. That would be more then welcome. For now, just getting involved, meeting interesting people and having an outlet is great.

On a trivial note , I have a closet full of nice clothes I never get to wear. What's the point of ruining them cleaning? So it's kind of fun to dress a little better and get out of the house. Even though I'm disgusted about the upcoming election it is satisfying to think I can do something constructive rather than my usual groaning.
