That February always seems to get a bad rap always surprised me. It has (or had) three really cool holidays AND my birthday. AND one of my brother's birthdays! AND now one of my Darling Daughter's birthdays. Those sugary candy hearts alone made me love the month. And no matter how crappy February was; even when it is Leap Year long it is still shorter than every other month.
But I have joined the throng. February sucks. Not only does it seem to bring out the worst of Midwest weather; it also seems to bring out the worst in Midwesterners. Unnecessary cruelty, tattle-tailing, and out right lies were the rule of the day this past month. Frankly, I hated it. But, upon the advice of one of the few people I trust, I am going to stop wondering what prompts this type of horrific behavior. I am gonna blame it on February. Next month I'll blame it on something else. Because I know they will never learn, never acknowledge their mistakes, and never, NEVER understand my point of view.

Incidentally there is a sacred document that protects my right to speak. Sorry if you don't like that.
