Simple things are so important

Listen up....
                   To all you people who want to be parents... Your responsibilities do not end when your kids turn 18 so don't even have them if you think that happens. Also, you have to still take care of your kids after they stop pooping in their pants, stop needing their shoes tied and food cut up. You have to take them to the doctors, make sure they do well in school, take them to the dentist every 6 months. As well as cleaning their clothes and being their personal chauffeur you also have the responsibility to guide them to be respectable citizens. 18 comes quick and no one wants another loser lurking around so you have to make sure you have what it takes to do all you can to ensure you are not adding to the welfare society. Hey, sometimes good people have bad kids. It happens and we all feel for them but let's be honest.. that is not the norm...
               However once in awhile great people are born from bad stock and they overcome their situation and never go back. These people become successful and good parents. God must know they are special so they grow up and the things people take for granted are things they never miss. Simple things like taking their kids to the dentist regularly and making school and church important.
              I know someone that special and happy to have that person in my life..

What a day in my life

AHHH. Today... Just another Thursday and..........
A broken AC, a broken van in need of a backordered part not available in the USA at the moment, 2 bloody noses, an eye dr apt ( which left me blind for a bit after dilation), some braces removed (Sadie's teeth look great), a few fights... enough to leave some in a really bad mood however this is life for me so I shake off the stress and look to the positive....
A minor AC repair, a loaner van since mine will be awhile, a positive 20/20 vision appointment (lets not talk about reading though), some really great friends and cousin (Kathy, Jess) to help me out..
And one great laugh when Kathy said they would probably give me a shitty loaner when they took a look at my dirty van and I was given the same vehicle as mine but brand new and shiny!!!
All of these things are a part of every day life... lots of crying kids, occasional fights, lots of spills and toys all over. I get angry sometimes but only for a moment except if....
Joey recently told me (and he is a man of few words) that as soon as someone pisses me off I am ready to just write them off and I hold a grudge (true) forever and I need to stop it. This really bothered me so I thought about it for awhile and then decided that although I can be hot headed at times ( I love throwing things) that really whenever I feel the need to "write someone off" they may have done me wrong but mostly they have done my kids wrong or maybe even my husband. Don't mess with my young or I might have to go all mama bear on your ass.
So the bad days don't get me down. You will rarely find me crying over these things but anyone that knows me can understand when I say that whenever my kids are treated unfairly those people will be evicted from the Golden home with no chance of seeing my HOH room!
