I have to say that my life now is not really that much different from many of yours. I wake up every morning wondering how on earth I am going to pull off that next minor miracle to get through the day. I know that everybody in this room is going through this. That is the dilemma women face today. Every woman that I know, regardless of race, education, income, background, political affiliation, is struggling to keep her head above water.
Michelle Obama, children at your feet.
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.
Who finds the money? when you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was heaven sent?
Friday night arrives without a suitcase.
Sunday morning creep in like a nun.
Monday’s child has learned to tie his bootlace.
See how they run.
Michelle Obama, baby at your breast.
Wonder how you manage to feed the rest.
See how they run.
Michelle Obama, lying on the bed,
Listen to the music playing in your head.
Tuesday afternoon is never ending.
Wednesday morning papers didnt come.
Thursday night you stockings needed mending.
See how they run.
Michelle Obama, children at your feet.
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.
It’s hard out here on a

What is it with women now? They devote entire newspaper articles, magazine articles, television talk shows, etc. on how they will “make it through their day.” How is it they are today’s “strong woman,” yet we never hear an end to how much they suffer (which, it seems, is unparalleled in the history of human civilization). It is especially common among the well-heeled ladies; the higher their status in this country, the more they suffer and the more “miraculous” it is that they make it through their day. Imagine the trials of getting to lay their heads down on a soft pillow at night, in a comfortable, well-heated/cooled house, without fear of a male relative beating the living daylights out of them for the slightest infraction (for those without abusive mates), walking out of the house without a male “minder,” getting in their own cars, and driving to their own jobs without fear of stoning, beating, beheading, or whipping. American women get to meet up with co-workers, clients, friends at fashionable restaurants (or, other restaurants depending on social status) without having to worry from where the next meal is coming, or how the children will be fed. American women get to go shopping for clothes that will be discarded in a year’s time because that look is “out” for that year.
We all complain about things from time to time, me included. We all, especially someone as well off as Michelle Obama, need to stop and think about what they are saying, consider their position in life, and realize how they have it better than they claim.
I don’t have the cite right to hand, but
“More tears were shed over prays answered than those that went unheard”.
I’m aghast at the damage that will be done by either Dem candidate. Hillary! is a crook and breathtakingly incompetent but Obama is just flat moonbat and both of them can expect at least two years of Democrat majorities in both houses.
More canned food, storage water, and spare ammo. I thought my senior years would be better than this, let me tell you what.
Don’t even get me started on what kind of world I wanted to leave my daughters.
Please, please, please stop with the life is so hard crapola. Everybody’s life is hard, until you compare it with someone else’s.
I just went through this at work, recently: my job just got a whole lot more complicated, but basically everyone’s job is complicated, that’s doing anything important. The more capable you are, the more different projects you get roped into. Eventually, your pay goes up, but not enough to really offset the effort. And then you lose any ability to earn overtime, which kind of sucks.
Complaining about it, though, just gets me a lot of “tell me about it” looks, which is kind of how my wife is looking at Michelle Obama just now. Take away Michelle’s power, influence, income and education and see what she has to say about the minor miracle, then.
She needs to grab Hillary’s arm and tell her her troubles.
That’s the way problems get solved.
Slart-
Kind of funny how the projected compensation curve of some types of wage earners is assumed to be aimed at an intersection on the graph where pay is infinite and work performed equals zero.
My job is important. Complicated, too, but no more than it needs to be. That right there is the hardest part of the process – managing the management.
Life is not a zero sum game. The sun comes up tomorrow and all that. It’s nice to bring a project in, and for me the money actually has little or nothing to do with it, beyond keeping my girls in new shoes and me in merino socks. And handwarmers. Lots and lots of handwarmers.
You’re right, MayBee. I think they ought to share a couple of bottles of wine at a nice bistro, and commiserate about men.
When did they all become such whiners?
Is that the end-result of prosperity? The creation of a generation of milksops?

I’d say that it is more of a case of pandering than anything.

If Michelle’s life is so difficult she ought to change something. She should talk to her husband about that. He’s rumored to be good at change. Don’t they talk?
It seems like the only thing a Barry O Presidency is going to do for Michelle, though, is make life more difficult in the form of higher taxes. Is she a fool or what?

She said that her husband won’t allow people to cynical or unhappy….I guess he hasn’t started at home, yet.
I often wonder how people like her make it through a day as well. Breathe in. Breathe out. Herculean efforts involved. Blink. All these things to remember. Nothing short of a miracle allows them to avoid jamming their finger in a 220V socket while standing in a pot of boiling water.
Geez, Barack must suck at being a husband, if Michelle has to strive for a miracle every single day just to survive.
Man, I dislike her with the intensity of a thousand Madonnas.
Dan! Much Mobama than Obalamot! Course, it’s possible that McCartney’s bleedin’ through..
Yep. Shouldn’t she already be earning some messianic benefit? After all she is married to him. Our life would be saved if we voted for him? But it’s a minor miracle day required after sleeping with him?
If you think life’s hard now, what if Michelle woke up some morning and nothing worked? On my post tonight, I wake up one morning with no power, water, food or transportation. What would you do? Vote in my poll at peoplepowergranny.blogspot.com
Michelle Obama is such a wonderful woman. I believe that she would be an excellent first lady.’:;
