What is a spouse supposed to be?

-

    I don't know about the rest of you, but I was always taught that a spouse was supposed to be your biggest supporter. That one person you can turn to when you've had a bad day. The person to lift your spirits when you are at your low points. Your other half.

   Now why in the hell is it so hard for people to be that for someone else? Everyone is so caught up in me me me that they forget to think about others. They forget that others have feelings too. And in all actuality it seems like they don't care. They don't care when they see someone else hurting. They don't care when someone else is stressed to the max. They don't care about anyone but themselves.

    I hate this world we live in today. I hate it with a passion. What the hell ever happened to compassion for others? What happened to true love, unconditional love, or just common courtesy? I mean I understand self love just as much as the next person... but that doesn't mean that we can just forget about loving someone else.

   I see these problems every day between spouses. In fact it is one of the top rated reasons for divorce. People simply grow apart because they forget how to love someone other than themselves. And it's not just between spouses. I watch it happen every day with everyone around me. When did this world become so cruel? Don't get me wrong... there are still a few kind souls left.. But for the most part... this world sucks!

This week in review

-
   I would be lying if I said this week has been any easier than the ones it followed. It's actually been more hectic than the weeks before. With school being out longer than what was originally foreseen, well it's been a pain in the ass. I'm actually hoping that school decides to tack on a week or two once they do return. This momma needs a break. But if we are being completely honest... I wish they would continue the school year through most of the summer.. or at very least offer summer schooling. I think that would be considered fair since my kids fight me so hard on doing their school work and turning it in on time. Homeschooling is definitely not for the faint of heart. It will drive you insane.     On the plus side of things, we got a midweek visit from Daddy. His load schedule allowed him to come home for 24 hours in between loads. So yay for us. Brandi and I both needed some Daddy time. The kids weren't so happy to see him though. They were all in trouble for g

In my feelings

                                       Okay, so I'll admit that lately the lack of a relationship with my parents has been weighing heavily on me. I look at my kiddos and see all the joy and happiness they bring me and wonder how can any parent not want that with their own flesh and blood... or with any child they lay claim to? My kids are the very reason I live and breath. While yes, there are plenty of times they cause what seems like and incurable migraine, they bring me so many happy moments as well.     I never got the feeling that I made either of my parents happy at any point. My father raised 3 children that were not his and didn't even meet me until I was 12. Then he didn't return until I was 17. Sad to say our moral values didn't align and that relationship was short lived. My mother raised me, mostly, but we never had a connection either. In fact most of my life I felt that I was a mistake and unwanted. That didn't change in my adult life either.        I

Just popping in

    Since quite a few of my followers only knew me by my blog, I've decided to do random pop ins. I wanted to let you all know that I am doing amazing. I've really been enjoying life. Daily visits to the park, and using my extra time to take care of myself. Today was a manicure, shopping, and girl time with my SIL. I'm currently on a trip out of town with the hubby to do some more shopping for myself and little man and a dinner date with my love.
