choice of word

So I was reading a weather article. Everything sounded legit, very sound scientifically. Then I get to a sentences that has the word 'storminess' in it. I had to do a double take. Really;'storminess'?
I really couldn't take anything the article said seriously after that point. I even started to question what I read before I stumbled upon this kitchy word.
When I read an informative piece, I want it to look, smell, taste, and feel ,well, informative.
I don't' want it personal. I don't want it fun. I don't want it given the latest catch phrase. Don't update the vocabulary to fit in. Just give the information so I can process it and move on.

Mom angst

Okay, so what's the deal with kids needed everything the minute you get in the shower or start talking on the phone. My kids are not little anymore. They are in the age range of 7-12. My personal feeling is this; They are old enough to take care of a problem or wait till I'm done, pending an emergency like blood(gushing,bone showing, etc.) or fire.
I know I am not alone in this occurrence. Many of my girlfriends complain about the same phenomenon happening at their house. So what's up universe...why do you have to pick on the moms. It can't be because we are not doing enough. DO I need to make a list, really?
Could you please inspire the children to give their moms a few minutes of peace? I beg, just 10 minutes alone in the shower to get clean, feel refreshed, so I can carry on! I ask that I be allowed to have a grow-up conversation via the phone! I need to know I'm not going insane and conversation in the key. So please hear my request. Inspire the children to leave mom alone for just a short while. It will make home a MUCH happier place.
Thank you

It's funny...

I'm sitting here setting up this blog so I can rant n rave. I want an outlet to express my Big opinions, so I can stop irritating my family and friends. Which I do. I also tend to repeat myself with them. I figure if I 'Blog' I can quit that habit.
Now that I'm here, I find there is nothing currently I want to rant about. I don't really want to say anything. I'm depressed. Which means I don't want to be active in anything.
How sad am I.
The worst part is by the time my life gets to a point where I will have to be active, I'm going to find that difficult. I'm on summer break right now. I don't have the funds this year to keep busy. I'm rotting at home. When summer ends, I don't think I'll be in the mood to start with a good attitude.
I suppose this foresight might help me,. because I didn't really think it was like this till I started typing. Maybe this whole blogging thing will pay off after all. =>

Huh, not until this moment did that Green Day song, "Wake me up when September ends." make sense to me.

funny...
