family

I dont understand nor will i ever why people don't stand behind their children
to me they are the most precious things in the world, i'm sure my kids have done things I dont know about, they have also done things they are not proud of, and they still come to me for love and support maybe guidance, but most of all understanding. I'm proud to say that if they ever asked for my help i was there for them. Sometimes in there lives they have gone to other family members and although i did not agree with their choices i was still there for them when they needed and wanted me. I have never made my children apologize more than once for something they have done and they in return have never made me apologize more than once and they have always forgiven me, that makes me feel like i did the best job ever. My chest fills with pride for my children. I also understand that i'm lucky that my kids turned out to get there license, finish school, and have babies. my oldest went to college and got married my youngest only nineteen is inpatiently waiting for her life as an adult to hurry up and begin.
as perfect as i would like to think i am there are some things that i have done that i would take back or do over but as of right now in my life the worst thing i do is swear and maybe write the occasional blog to my ex's current.
there are people from my past that chose not to have me in there present but im trying to deal with that knowing that i've done everything i could think of to fix it, when it comes right down to it i cant do it by myself, so i pray a lot and wait impatiently hoping someday that i will make my parents proud of there only daughter.

Leave my Men Alone

I have been thinking about all the men in my life.

Being 32 I am truly blessed to have as many as I do.

Obviously, there is my husband, my dad, my brothers, grand babies, nephews, step sons, uncles, and friends..

These men mean so much to me. ALL of them. They have all touched my heart one way or another. and I truly have love for all of them.

what I have noticed is some of these adult men have women that are way too scary, or rude, or nasty, or stupid, or just plain physco..

So, I am wondering - maybe it is not them, maybe it is us. I mean I always thought I was always the NORMAL one in all of my relationships. But all these messed up women in their lives. I am starting to second guess.

Not myself just yet, but all the other crazies..

I use to think Heidi and that Bi-polar girl that knew Fred from Bobby's Rule were the craziest women I had ever met. But I got to tell you, lately, they are seeming pretty normal. And that is really scaring me.

I guess what I am asking all you females out there, that are with the men I love. Step back. Look at your life, and the way that you are treating the men I love. Back off, please appreciate what you have got.

Dont forget, they are just men, they have to act that way - they cant help it.

But we are women, we can help it. Lets stop sinking below their level, rise up. Lets be better than Heidi and bi-polar girl.

We are aloud to bitch, just not to them, they dont care. Thats why we have each other.

Leave my men alone.

Please

I had a heart to heart with God last night, and I told him that I wanted to be a better person. Which I am trying to be.

So obviously, YOU would get thrown into the equation today. I know the Lord works in mysterious ways, but wow this was not one of those times. I should have seen this coming.

I talked to him for over four hours last night, then I hear your story, and I am back to the old me in under four minutes.

I am not blaming this on you, but wow! Look at the way you were raised- you should be a better person, but now you are mean, hateful and cruel.

And before you get angry please stop and think about what I am saying....................

Maybe my conversation with God, was his way of trying to get me to convince you to stop doing what you are doing.

Please listen to what I am saying. You use to be a great young lady - you were kind, generous and understanding.

You got mixed up with the wrong crowd, but it is never too late to fix your mistakes.

You are going to be stuck where you are, all the time knowing what you are doing is wrong..

You have my number - lets talk about this and make it right.

Please

Abbey

We got a new dog, her name is Abigal. She is a three year old black lab. We got her last Friday, and she is soo good!

She weighs just over 70 pounds, But Walt will tell you she weighs over 100 pounds, because she takes up so much space.

She is adjusting very well with her new family. Tobey and Charlie are sharing their mommy and daddy quite nicely.

She loves her tennis balls( she brought them with her) Unless she is sleeping or eating, she had got one in her mouth.

She will get up on couch and lay with me, but she wont get on the bed. She came with a black sleeping bag, so I put that in front of Walt's dresser, and she sleeps there.

I think the only downside in this, is if I get up in the middle of the night, I need to remember to turn the light on, or I will trip on one of the balls.

You are Welcome

I have a very unique relationship with my children, and very close friends. But with my family, acquaintances,in-laws, and neighbors I dont.

I am not sure they need, or want to hear the daily problems that I am having in my life.
For example: If my sister Michelle is jealous that I was spending time with my sister Christina I wouldnt tell Christina that she was jealous. (that would just hurt her)

What I would do is try to try to spend a little more time with Michelle.

That way Michelle gets some of my time, and Christna gets some of my time. But Christina doesn't have to feel like a horrible person for no reason. (and I am not an idiot)

I guess what I am trying to explain to YOU ( aka idiot) is even though you have never stopped and had a thought before you did or said something: it is time to begin.....
YOU ARE WELCOME!!

The "M" word

I received some information recently on words that start with " M"

So if any of you would like to play a game try this one:

Rule 1. Use monopolize and manipulate in a short paragraph.

Rule 2. The paragraph ACTUALLY has to make sense.

Here is an example of what NOT to write.

" all you do is manipulate this family"

" how do I do that"

" you monopolize your father's time"

As we have all learned in the first grade if you are going to say something that you want other people to understand, then what you are saying needs to make sense.

you know who you are

to all you people out there- and you know who you are
you are kicking my ass in "march madness"
i'll bet money even the people who arn't in this "march madness" are kicking my ass
i know its not over yet- so ive still got a shot but theres going to have to be a whole chain of events-hopefully starting today.
I've already called the universe, to try and get the planets and stars allined
then i called mother nature, sorry Q, your next.
im not mentioning any names but somebodys coming down with a bad case of yuck
so i will keep you posted and maybe next week at this time i will be winning or at the very least not in last place.

My marraige.

I truly feel that marriage is what you make it. You get out of it what you put into it.

When you find the perfect partner, something happens inside you. You want to be a better person.

At least that is what happened to me. After I met Walt- everything inside me changed. I have never loved a man the way I love him. He makes me feel like I am the one he'd been waiting his whole life to find.

I look forward to every day with him. He never leaves without kissing me goodbye, and always kisses me hello when he gets home.

He makes me feel complete, I didn't even know part of me was missing until I met him.

We dated for three years, and he cried when he asked me to be his wife.

In my opinion he is the greatest man on the planet.

When we do disagree it is usually over something HUGE, like when he gets out to pump gas and leaves his door open and the key in the ignition. I truly hate that noise.

Walter has made me a very happy person, and an extremely proud wife.

So I think I have finally figured out what a marriage needs to make both people unimaginably happy. All you need is the love of your life, more patient and understanding that you could ever imagine, taking the time to truly listen, hurting deep inside for them when they are hurting, being beside them always, and never letting them feel alone.
