Think before you speak


Some people are just plain stupid. That is exactly what I look at it like. I feel pity for people who have no morals or couth. That only makes them that less of a decent, caring, loving, person. I’ve come to the decision that I am not going to let people like that poison my thoughts or life. Oh and other word for people like that are just rude.

The question I already know the answer to is, why do people like to inflict hurt and pain on others? Why would someone like to see someone else suffer to make themselves look better? I just don’t get it? I would never ever try to take something or say something to someone else to better my self at any degree.

If you see someone else in need or in a worse off position than yourself, wouldn’t you try to help that person out? Not even in a monetary way, just in an emotional or supportive way?

Some people fail to realize that it’s not all about them and what is going to make them feel good and satisfied. Do those type of people ever figure out that their inner misery stems from the fact that cause other people pain? Really, that’s it in a nut shell.

I get emotionally hurt, feel pain, and have anger because of the way people are vicious and cause me pain as well as others. I can’t let that happen anymore. Seriously, it has to stop or it’s going to end up killing me. I take everything to heart and in the end, it means absolutely nothing. I have to remember to shield myself from people like such. My whole life I have dealt with shit. Shit from my parents, shit from a certain sibling, shit from people who I really thought gave a lol “shit” about me. It has to stop.

I know I have made mistakes in the past but from those mistakes I truly learned my lesson. I’m not saying I can call myself Mother Theresa because from time to time I can do stupid stuff but overall I get what it is all about. I just wish others would also but ya know it isn’t my problem or emotional ball and chain anymore. I am going to eliminate those people from my thought and pain process. I may not be able to remove them from my life but I have the ability to control the pain they can cause me. I’m done.

The “up-up”


Wow been so busy lately my head is spinning and I have the worse headache. I feel the need to blog. I went to 708(my house that caught on fire Christmas Eve) and got a little done. Tarp on the roof, a couple of windows boarded up, why I swept the kitchen I have no idea. I did manage to pull out a couple of sacred items of the boys underneath the charred rubbish “up-up.” Actually I can’t even believe they didn’t melt. The boys NY Giants costume helmets they wear when pretending to be playing a football game “up-up.” That’s what we called their play area up in the attic. They were black from the smoke and smelled horendous but I brought them home anyway. I don’t think it is possible for me to describe the looks on their face when I told them what I had. Priceless. Jaw dropping, priceless. Made my heart leap for joy for them. We scrubbed and scubbed then voila! Almost back to that sparkley blue that they once were. They were so happy that it almost made me cry. My kids are so amazing and I hate to brag but with everything we have gone through together they have grown into the most respectful, honest, caring, and loving kids I have ever met. They truly make my heart melt. I guess I’m doing something right and hopefully it will carry through.

Take 5


Step one. I’ve been reading up on ways to relieve stress and one way they said is to take time to write, blog it out, journal it, or whatever. So here I am. I love to blog but I feel guilty for doing it, like I’m taking away from “real work.” This is my down time and god dammit I’m entitled to it. The only one who tells me differently is my boyfriend unfortunately. I’m the stupid one for listening to him and actually giving a crap about what he thinks of me. #1 I think I’m a fantastic mom. #2 I’ve been through a lot of devastating things in my life so I think I have the right to just veg and take time for me. #3 Who is he to tell me what or what I can’t do, or tell me I don’t do enough around the house, or boss me around and demand that his clothes should be cleaned and put away. What era am I living in? And why in the world am I succumbing to his demands or comments? Right now I am in a position where I have the world by the balls. Excuse my language, but I do. On Christmas eve my house caught on fire and to make a long story short basically everything was destroyed by either fire or water damage. I was blessed to have my niece’s future in-laws offer their home that is for sale for the boys and I to stay in. I’ll be posting pictures of the views from up here. But this is a golden opportunity for me to re-group, gather my thoughts, get my sh*t in order and start over a beautiful life for my boys and I.

“He” just walked in the door like nothing even happened. Like he didn’t leave the house screaming at me because he couldn’t find his favorite shirt. All the wash is done and put away mind you and his favorite shirt was not in there. Why is this my fault? I told him plain in simple(just 5 mins ago that #1 I do not need him and #2 I’m not a door mat where you can talk down to me and treat me like dirt.

I’m good. This feels great getting this out of my system. The sun is shining. My boys are content and happy. Even the dog is happy. I feel calm right now. My school work is geting donw. I just worked on my resume of which my sister is proofing for me. My plans are set in motion and I am going to carrying this thing through. I am going to continue working on relieving myself of stress and ridding myself of all the elements that induce stress in my life. Wish me luck.

As the storm blows in


We’ve been waiting for Nemo all day and finally he has arrived. Everyone is home safe and sound. I sent my texts to my girls(sisters)making sure they are all tucked in for the night. My life feels like this storm. Winds are blowing from the east and west with strong gusts. Snow is falling steadily probably for the remainder of the night. It is like a whirlwind for sure.

I feel like this storm. So unsettled and being tossed all over the place but yet it offers such serenity by its beauty. My life should be serene like that but I can’t help but feel like I am so stressed out.

I am in a position right now that my hands are tied. I can’t make any moves until a few things happen. So my main goal is to just try to relax and focus on school. For me this is easier said than done. I’m thinking of taking a yoga class with my sisters next week. I’ll have to see how that goes.

In the mean time I am going to find other ways to relieve stress and for get about changing what I don’t have control over. cropped-022.jpg
