Gay Marriage Questions

Ok, this is a serious post and I have serious questions from both sides. Hopefully I can get feedback from both and it can stay civil everyone. Cause I don’t like not having the knowledge, but I truly don’t have anywhere close to me to get the knowledge and opinions from either side.

Is the word marriage one of the big sticky points?

The only complaints I’ve heard from the other side keep saying that marriage is between a man and a woman, ok, well then how about a civil union? Does civil union offend the gay/lesbian community?

Relationship Regrets

I am working really hard on a no regrets live. It’s not easy, but having to make the best decision at the time is all we can do. Thankfully, I do have others in my life to remind me of why that was the decision at times.

But I am helping to clean out my Grandma’s MIL apartment and all the sudden it snapped in my head. Yes, i know it should have sooner, but truly I’ve been brainwashed to other thoughts. In the last 3 years I have worked hard at growing my adult relatiionships with my mother’s sisters. Why would it be any different on my father’s side? Why did it take this long to hit me? I’m a little sad it took this long, but I will be just fine about it, truly.

Facebooking your Tweets

I’m going to help some of you out with your social networking skills. I know these end up being a little ranty, but I’m going to try not to get so cranky as I write this one.

There are quite a few programs out there to keep track of your tweets. Most of these now will also post to your facebook and other accounts. Here’s the deal, when they post to your facebook or plurk account, it is obvious that it’s a tweet after just a few posts. Especially if you say hey tweets or hit an @reply.

Positive Focus

My life is in a big turmoil right now. Last week was a horrible week. Every day got worse and worse with the week ending up with Grandma in the hospital and taking her off all machines. It’s been so much emotional work.

I’m starting this post because I need to push all the positives back into my head. It’s difficult. This week has started off rough just because I’m so emotionally burnt out. But I know there are positives in EVERY SINGLE DAY and I want to list 15 of them right this minute.

What Tattoo

Well i wanted to do a couple of braindead activities and quizzes fill that bill. This one as you can see is what tattoo you should get. Hmm, a rose? That’s not even an option I’ve ever considered. I have others planned, but never a rose. Too predictable!

You Should Get a Rose Tattoo

Sexy and classic You are pure rock and roll. You party hard. So does your tattoo.

Kiss Grandpa for me

I got the call about 30 minutes ago that my Grandma passed. I have no regrets which is huge. This has been my new goal in life. I understand that life is short and I want no regrets when people in my life pass on. My only wish is that I’d asked her to give my Grandpa Fred and big hug and make sure he has fruit certs ready for me WAY down the road when I get there. lol She would have loved that. Also would have loved to ask her to bring some messages to people for me, but hey, they don’t need to hear it, they know already

Dealing with Mom

Believe me, this is a reoccuring theme in my life. My Mom has disappointed me more than ever over the weekend. She is not there for my Dad. I understand there are reasons that I could not possibly understand because I’ve never walked in her shoes. But that does not change the fact that I believe you need to be there for your spouse no matter your feelings. They are first in a crisis.

So my dilemma is, do I tell her how disappointed I am? Not at this time as we are in the midst of dealing with whether or not Grandma is going to pull through. But at a soon to be date?

Use Your Friends

I bet you are looking for a bitchy day post here with that title right? Well it’s not. This is actually a truly serious post about using your friends because that is why you have them.

This blog is my personal blog. It was created because I needed a place to vent. I need to vent because I don’t let a lot of people know what is going on in my life. I don’t let friends get close enough to know everything. It comes from getting burned and is my form of protection. But today I had no choice and it felt really good to lean on my friends.

Happy Mother’s Day

Ah that first sip of coffee is heaven isn’t it? I just grabbed a cup and took it back to bed. This feels decadent. It’s not, I just let the oldest watch movies and sleep on the couch and I don’t want to wake her up. lol But still I’m cuddly, warm back in my bed with a great cup of coffee and my little dogs. We’re just waiting for the day to start. For hubby to come home and then for breakfast to get made. Then we’ll go pick up the youngest from my Mom’s house and be home for the rest of the day.

The Youngest

Why do I have a feeling he is so much the quiet before the storm? Is it the fact that he is so much like me? The fact that he is right now so much more different than his whacked out friends?

This is his last year in elementary. Next year we will have no little one’s as far as my mind works. One in high school and one in middle school means we hit a new level. It means that even though I am only 36, I am almost 40. lol It’s all good cause I am one hot momma at almost 40, but still, it’s a new level.
