It was brought to my attention today that I was acting alittle childish. Aparently some family members felt that I am not being a proper mommy to my children because I am not giving them 100% of my undivided attention. Well lets look at this. I work 8+ hours a day not including the commute 40+ a week. I attend tech school at night 25 hours a week and although I am on a 2 week summer break I also have college classes. Let me see where does that leave me time to much of anything.
To be fair I suppose I could spend every waking moment of my time with my kids but that would leave me unable to function in polite society. I love them very much and I want whats best for them. Its because of them that I kill myself on 3 hours of sleep to do good in school and work to be able to provide for them. Its for them that all my dreams and plans for the future lie. I honestly don't know what else I am supposed to do. Maybe everyone is expecting me to be superwoman. Fuck that. I am me that all. And personally if yoall can't love me for that tooo bad.
But in defense of being childish here is a really cure little message comic sent me today. He always know how to make me smile: ;-)
I want to go back to the times when:
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo." what thats not a valid decision making option?
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!" If only that worked today
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly."
Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends. best friends are better when they have company huh kat, becca, and mas
Being old referred to anyone more than 20. dammit i am not old am not am not btw my birthday is only a month away for those of you who really should be sending presents. giggles sulis LOVES presents but then again what women doesn't
The net on a tennis court was the perfect height to play volleyball and
rules didn't matter. WAS? it still is the perfect height.;-p
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties. I still think most boys still have cooties
It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb. that is just creepy
It was unbelievable dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event.
Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot.
Nobody was prettier than Mom. or better looking that dad
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better. kiss my booboo pweeeze
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park. I am still not tall enought to ride the "big people" rides this is not fair
Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true. I want to go skiing anyone game
Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare."
Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute ads for action figures.
No shopping trip was complete unless a new toy was brought home. new toys are always the logical conclussion for a shopping trip just the toys are little different now---sulis heads off to the castle
"Olly-olly-oxen-free" made perfect sense.
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
War was a card game.
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.
Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle.
Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin.
Ice cream was considered a basic food group. who says it isn't milk is good for you isn't it?
Older siblings were the worst tormentors but also the fiercest
protectors! love ya nina, cynthia, and denny boy

The fireworks work cool tonight. I ended up going out to mom and dads for dinner and cake. Today was the one year anniversary of my friends Kat and T. It took my over 2 hours to make it to work afterwards because of the idiots leaving the fireworks displays but hey I made it in one peice.
I have been chatting with the guys at work and have come to the realization that men do not think about anyone but themselves. Its an in born trait. I went even so far yesterday to say that if you are given a penis at birth they take away your heart. The sad part about it is most guys go throught life thinking that they are doing nothing wrong. They try to protect themselves from the world by either ignoring it or attempting to make everyone and everything bend to their will. Then when they are alone and sad they wonder why EVERYONE ELSE is so mean. Or what EVERYONE ELSEs problem is.
Can I make a suggestion here guys. Think before you open your fucking mouths. Think about how what you are gonna say is gonna affect the people you are saying it to. Life DOES NOT revolve around you. Realize that the people around you care about you and it might be a good thing not to hurt them if at all possible.
damn I think that made me sound bitter. OH well!! Anyways now that I have ranted. Let me just say. I wish that everyone in my life would learn to get along and play nice with eachother. That some of us would please learn to not try and bully everyone else into doing what you want them to do, because the world does not revolve around you even though you think it does. Others of you out there try to stop protecting your fucking heart and try letting people in. Don't care only works so far, friends should never fall into that catagory. You have to care a little to benefit from having friends. But hey I might be wrong. Ya Think????
I wa sitting her musing about having to work on the july 4th. When a friend of mine sent me this little message. I thought I would share it with yoall because it kinda puts everything into perspective.
The 4th of July REMEMBERING INDEPENDENCE DAY Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured Before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had Two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their Sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine Were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the Penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his Ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and Properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to Move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr, noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid To waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history Books never told you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fougnt our own government! Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid. Remember: freedom is never free! I hope you will show your support by please sending this to as many People as you can. It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.
I recieved this from a friend awhile ago. I don't know who sent it. If this is your work and you don't want it here message me please. But anyways I thought this is funny. hope you like it
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's
law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that
knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend
the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that
Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of
debate. I do need some advice from you, however,
regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates
a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors.
They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with
this?
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in
her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem
is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are
around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but
not Canadians. Can you clarify?
I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus
35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated
to kill him myself?
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
Lev. 20:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I
have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear prescription
glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle
room here?
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am
confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's
word is eternal and unchanging.
