Still A Dreamer

That’s the name of the new organization. It’s one of those acronym kind of things, but instead of being impossible to figure out or pronounce, like GSTPA, I made it real easy – Owww! And fun to say! You can use caps or lower case or not. What does it stand for? Overworked Working Women of the World. You can even whine when you say it.

The best thing about it? No dues or fees, no waiting period, and you don’t even have to e-mail me! Or anyone. If you’re a woman, and let’s say American, (since that’s my greatest area of familiarity), and you’re up to your ass in alligators way too many days of the week working in one way or another … you’re already in! That’s the beauty of it. YOU are already a member! Congratulations!

Hey – if this catches on, I’ll make little membership cards that you can download off the website. (Hmmm – there’s an idea!) and soon I’ll be adding a logo, I think. If I can find the time in between all this work I have to do. And that’s the whole point of OWWW… we’re all working waaaayyy too much. If, au contraire, you feel you don’t have enough to do, I suggest you go to YouTube and enjoy. The rest of you … please just bask in the sisterhood of it all.

I’m tired. I don’t know a woman who isn’t tired! Between juggling work, commutes, trying to keep money coming in, taking care of the kids and/or pets, keeping your partner – if you have one – happy, shopping, cooking, banking, bill-paying, cleaning! I believe it was Lucy or maybe Charlie Brown who said it – AUGGHHHH! And don’t forget … somewhere in there, you want to be squeezing in the fulfillment of your dreams! Oh, yes!

Okay, so maybe I’m in an overwhelmed state of mind at the moment. If I’m out of it in a day or so, I’ll disband the organization. (which is impossible since so many members exist whether I call it an organization or not.) I’ll become an alumna. I’ll come visit. But meanwhile, there’s always the group’s motto – owwwww. And said quietly, please. We’re tired!

And, BTW, if you DO have a minute, check out some of the services and neat stuff I have on my website – I’ll be updating it again as soon as I have a minute. Promise.
