i seriously wanted to b*tch slap this patient at work who decided it was in her best interest to 1. bring her baby to PT and 2. to think her daughter and relatives would be able to pacify cranky baby who was cutting two molars and just needed to be held by mom. it was nauseating to see this stupid heffer working out while her baby wailed her head off in the clinic. seriously? it wasn't cute crying or sniffles, it was WAILING. in the words of my sbff, "mute that *hit". of course i am way too nice to ever confront anyone, so i "ignored" it, just like everyone else in the clinic, but we were all thinking the same thing! i know i shouldn't be so judgmental seeing as i am not a mother. i know that taking care of a child is difficult, but come on now. get off the exercise bike and take care of your kid who is looking for her mom to love her! RI-DICULOUS.
I realized that all souls have more or less the same battles to fight, but no two souls are exactly the same.--St. Therese
so what are your battles? it's really easy for me to think that everyone around me has it so much better. sometimes i think i have it bad, but then i forget that someone always has it worse than me. and when you break it down, i really feel like all struggles seem to stem from one entity alone: love.
souls are born craving love. if they don't receive that amount that they need, all havoc ensues. evil is the absence of love. misery is the result of a miscommunication of love. we need to love a lot in order to make this world a better place to live in.
From the Gospel today: "This I command you: love one another." --Jn 15:17

my battle? haha have you read my blog?!?!
I think your sbff's quote is appropriate in the situation...however, it is unnerving to hear at mass. :)
i cannot even begin to tell you how many parents i get frustrated with at my job due to lack of involvement with their kids. and its the parents who have a choice as to whether or not that want to spend time at their book club or with their kiddos which tick me off the most. i can go on for hours so i'll just stop myself now. but on a side note, there are far too many kids wrongly found eligible for special education on the basis of bad parenting.
