The Life I Chose to live

   Every day I put myself through the same crap. I wake up, I'm tired, and I push through it. I do things I know damn good and well I shouldn't. Like today... did I wait on some big strong man to move my fridge and stove. Nope. I didn't even wait on help. I call this Super Woman syndrome. And boy do I ever pay for it.     Most days I regret it. I forget that my body is aging and it's going to hurt to do the things I did 10 years ago. But I still do it. Consequences be damned. It's not like some magic fairy is going to come along and do it for me. Trust me, if I could swish a wand and it all be done.. I most definitely would. But that's just not how things are here in the real world.     But I will say this, maybe I should be just a tad bit more careful with the extents I take things some times. Moving a fully loaded fridge across the kitchen just might be one of those times in the future. But probably not. I'll probably do it myself a...

   Today Damian and I got to enjoy yet another day out with A and B. They took us to a local Mexican restaurant for lunch. Which was absolutely wonderful by the way. It's been a long while since I've been out for Mexican. I think we all ate until we couldn't eat any more. Although I should have listened to A and ordered the seafood soup that she had because it smelled amazing.     By the time we had finished our food and ran a few errands, it was time to pick up their youngest from school. Damian loves when the kids get out of school because it always means play time. But today was a little different. Instead of diving right into the fun, we sat the kids down to watch a little tv while we tackled the house rather quickly. Then the fun really began. We loaded the kids up and took them to an event held by camp fire. There were bounce houses, face painting, tug of war, and food.    Damian was rather skiddish of the bounce house to start with but by the time ...

"Humanity  is the  human  race, which includes everyone on Earth. It's also a word for the qualities that  make  us  human , such as the ability to love and  have  compassion, be creative, and not be a robot or alien."       Whatever happened to humanity? When did society turn it's nose up at people and inscribe it into people's brains that the only people that mattered were ourselves? Since when is it so bad to have emotions and care about others well-being as well as our own?Since when did the human race become so heartless?       These are questions I have to ask myself everyday. I watch people around me and it disgust me. Very few people in this world have any humanity left in them. It's heartbreaking. It's a world that I'm not proud to live in.        From the time I was old enough to remember human interaction my mom instilled compassion in me. She always taught my ...

    Sometimes I wonder how some people can be so heartless and cold when the situation calls for kindness and understanding. I'm not even sure how to deal with people that are that way. 

   You know honestly, I didn't think there were many "good" people left in this world. I guess the small town we used to call home had killed the theory of kindness for me. People there just didn't know how to think of anyone but themselves. It really made me question people. But this move has showed me that some "good" people do still exist. In some of my recent post I've been talking about these new friends we have made (A, B, and J), they have really changed my opinion on people.      They aren't exactly your traditional Christian people. They are what most consider to be "different" with a "different" lifestyle. But they are genuinely kind people. They aren't only looking out for themselves. And while yes we have lent them a helping hand, they try to repay the favor when they can. For instance, A came to visit yesterday. She had a couple of hours to kill before she had to make her rounds to pick up kids from school. While...

    Last night Daddy and I took advantage of not having little man at home. So we ended up going over to a friend's house for the evening. I hadn't intended on staying as late as we did, but 2 a.m. came quickly. Time passes and quickly when you're having fun. I really do think that Daddy and I have finally found some decent friends in the area. People we don't mind being around a lot. People that aren't going to use us. People we can genuinely enjoy spending time with. We will call them mystery person A, B, and J for now.     Anyway, we had a blast last night. We were originally supposed to play beer pong last night, but I took a longer nap than expected so Daddy and I didn't get there until everything had already kicked off. But we still had a great time. We drank, and played cards, talked, and joked. Our party poopers were there as well, so we didn't let ourselves get too out of hand. But it was still fun, asides from one individual (R) getting butt hurt ...

   I have to admit I had a great time today. My friends and I decided to pack up this morning and just have a day out. We had a blast. We got our hair cut, we went out to eat, we shopped, and of course did a bit of window shopping. It could have been a little better if there weren't certain annoyances, but that was inevitable. But I think I can speak for myself and the others saying today was a great day. I can't wait to spend more time with them.
