~MY Thoughts~

Sometimes we come across things that make us think. I am not saying ANYONE should agree with me, it is just ME thinking. Remember my blog, my thoughts...whether good or bad. This is me. Love me. Hate me. Wonder about me. I don't care, because believe me. I do the same thing. We all do. It is what we are made to do. It is the ones that can have the thoughts about peoples differences and voice them with such grace that I admire. Just for the record, I have never once come across anyone that has thoughts about others differences and NOT voiced them. Like I said, it is what makes us human. To know the differences in others and to overlook them or to be strong enough to admit them.

There are soooo many different types of people out there. I know...DUHHHHH!

I don't know if it is just experience or if I am just realizing that certain things PISS ME OFF and I am an adult and I don't have to deal with it if I don't think it's right. Yeah, yeah, I know...the whole adult can overlook anything and be the better person thing. But to tell you the truth, YES, I can overlook A-LOT but there are just certain things I will not overlook. That is what makes me ME! That is what makes me know the good and the bad in people. There are certain things in life that I truly believe people should NOT do. Now, I know people make mistakes, I get that. But seriously, when it is done more than once or over and over again then I feel like I do NOT have to waste another minute with those people. You may find that bitter and horrible of me. But it is what I believe and it is what makes me feel so much better in my life and my life experience. Just to get it out there, I am not 'dissing' EVERYONE that I do not agree with, I have the utmost respect for certain people that I do not agree with. BUT there are certain things that I will NOT overlook. Especially when over time it may work it's way into MY life or MY family's life.

I have always been who I am. I will not change what I do or how I take care of my hubby and kids. I will not change my thoughts on how to be a Mommy. I know there are all different kinds out there. That is fine. Really it is! That is YOUR choice. That is what makes us different. But I do not have to think it's 'okay' and I do not have to help you be the kind of mom YOU want to be. Just like some of you don't think everything I do is 'okay' or agree with my thoughts on Mommyhood. That's fine. I love differences in people. But there are just certain things that I will not agree with, especially if it upsets me in anyway.

We all have different environments. Some are more similar to others. Some are completely opposite. Some environments can't be helped. Other environments are chosen. Remember our kids are OUR kids. They are not someone else's responsibility. Don't take this out of context. When you are working to support your family/kids I totally expect you to find someone to care of them. That is YOU taking responsibility for them for their livelihood. BUT, when you have 'free' time that is theirs, please don't get me wrong here, I don't mean every flippin minute of your time is theirs...but I will say if you have more YOU time then you do KID time, there is a problem. The hours they are in school can be YOUR time. When they become adults...that is when you can take your time back. When you become a mother and a wife you have a responsibility. It's that simple.

It is a gift you can give to your children. Not the only gift, but a wonderful gift.
