Just Ranting..............

I need to start out saying that I am a bit on the cranky side today. Hey I have a really good excuse! You see last night we had a thunder storm and apparently my puppy feels safer from the storm by sitting on my head. How would you like to wake up more than once with a puppy azz in your face? I tried to explain to him that my head was no safer a place than being by my side but he just wasn't having it. This battle was occurring two hours before the alarm clock was due to go off. So not a good way to start a Monday. My poor little man was just a wreck and I am a bit sleep deprived. Anyway that is why I am a bit crabby.
Since I knew I was crabby I decided that it was in my best interest (and everyone else) to just stay quiet and keep my comments to myself at work today BUT now that I am out of the office and away from those people I MUST rant!! Why do a very large amount of women find it necessary to talk poorly about other women? It doesn't appear to matter if they know each other well or not at all. Women just seems to talk about other women or seem to find a way to make other women look bad. Really if you think about it how many times do you hear a women complimenting another women. Why are we so insecure as women that we find the need to do this? Maybe insecure isn't the right word for it but that is what comes to mind when I think of all the petty things that women say that are mean about each other. Hell some women are even mean to the the women they call friends when they aren't around. I just don't understand how a woman can acted like she likes someone even show gestures of caring and then turn around and talk down this person when they aren't around. Why does everything in life have to be a competition with other women? It doesn't appear to me that as many men do this to each other. I am not saying all cause I know some do but it doesn't seem to be a majority. In fact I received this email recently and it kind of sums up what I am saying.
Why men have better friends
Friendship between women:
A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it.
Friendship between men:
A man didn't come home one night. The next morning he told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends, 8 of which confirmed that he had slept over, and 2 said that he was still there.

It just appears that even in this email that men stick together more than women. Men seem to watch out for each other right or wrong more than women do. Interesting to note I would have definitely not admitted to whether or not his wife stayed the night at my house without first talking to her for our story. That is just my personality though. I also would note that I rather work with 50 men then 5 women. Men let you know were you stand with them good or bad and when are mad they say there piece then get over it but when a woman gets mad and she says her piece that is just the beginning. I know I am being tough on us women but for the love of God we need to build each other up and stop tearing each other down........
