God has me in a bit of a transition. I have gone back to working with deaf children for the local school district and did so with high hopes of adding some "return to the ways of a child" joy back into my soul.
I was initially thrilled with the staff that surrounds me.. they literally said "Please pick out a desk, we really want to have you!" when I first visited. Yet its been two weeks and I am struggling with just who people are these days.
While I was eating lunch yesterday a coworker came to show me a photo of she and her partner. They were enjoying dinner on a charcuterie board however as she pointed out (and God forgive me) it was a "C--- cuterie board".. The board itself was carved in the shape of a mans privates. I am not the person to show that to. I am still disgusted.
Earlier in the week the lead teacher showed me a series of photos from her daughters birthday party. The ENTIRE party was done in the poo emoji theme. Believe me when I tell you... from the cake to the plungers with the pinata.
I just cant. I want to just check out of this current culture! I hate being the uptight old lady! I dont want these friends and I find that I dont want ANY of these friends. When I volunteered the other night for Compassion International I didnt even talk to the women. I just went off on my own so I feel myself giving up on meeting decent people.
Rant over. Thank God for our tiny group. I dont see any of you throwing poo themed parties. Please take me back to 1923.
charcuterie board
May be its a blessing that I don't know what the C cuterie board is nor the poo emoji and no, I don't want to know.
Diane, I feel your frustration and disappointment. Let's head back to 1923.
A friend called me yesterday to rant about the lack of decency during parties and I agree with her. I know we are called to raise the standards and set good examples but its tiring to feel like we are always those people going counter cultural in today's world. God help us. I think I need to pray more rosaries to stay close to our Mother, model of all virtues. So help me God.
