Haters

So, my in-laws hate me. I'm not saying that they dislike me or just don't care.

They hate me. All because I refuse to do what they tell me to. That, and they really don't care about their own son, either. Sad.

My family is messed up. Seriously messed up. But my family doesn't hate. We dislike, but we dislike equally. We don't choose one person and all hate them.

Unfortunately, this hatred trickles down to my children. Grown up people, hating children- or at least not caring about them. Mature, right?

Birthday week started Saturday. That means all of my kid have birthday's within a same week. Rocket science. Am I right?

So, Red was first. Only 2 people in the hub's family wished her happy birthday- on Facebook. That was expected considering no one else in the family will even friend my kids. Again, mature, right?My middle was yesterday. Zip from the in-laws. Even the ones who say they care.

Of course, they can't publicly support, talk to, or even mention my children, especially my older two, with out incurring the wrath of the matriarch.  My older 2 are from my first marriage, never mind that hubs adopted them. They just do not count. Red barely does. Barely.

Forget what this does to my children. My girls try to because, frankly, we do not rate and never will. Even the ones who did want a relationship took a  huge step back after we moved. Now it's nothing. *POOF* All that work to build a relationship disappeared from neglect.

(They are children! It's not their responsibility to continue a relationship.)

This is one of the main reasons why I say that family is not those that are related to you. Family are the people that love you.

They have had too many family members that "love" them abandon them.

For anyone who is reading this, please, before you decide to shun that family member that everyone shuns, especially if there is children involved, ask yourself why. Then ask your self what damage are you doing. Because you are. Lots of damage. Especially to the children.

After all, it could be you.

Life lessons

A few life lessons that I've learned along my way:

• Engaging in gossip will always make you suspicious because:
• Those that are gossiping with/to you are the ones gossiping about you.
• Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
• Family is those that love and accept you the most, not necessarily those that are related to you.
• The person with the most to hide will always try to convince you otherwise.
• Your good enough will never accomplish anything, but your best always will.
• People can be sheep and follow the [insert your poison] herd. Sheep are never happy. Always be you.
• Know when to make a huge, scary change to keep your soul alive.
• Never assume you know what's going on with someone else. You're wrong.
• Every lie hurts someone, even the small white ones.
• There is always a nice way to say a bad thing.

Thanks for letting me be sentimental for a bit. It's over now. Carry on.

Inspiration

I'm back again. Things are still crazy. School is starting back up and my 3 offspring aren't sure if they want to go or not. Birthday week is right around the corner. 2 milestone birthday's this year. I will have an adult child in less than a month. I'm still in debate whether I am mature enough to have an adult child of my own. I don't think I am.


I've been really busy with school. I just finished a paper a few hours ago and I have a 10 page paper to write by next week that I haven't even started on. I plan to have that finished by the end of this week. I have yet to get a grade lower than a 90 on anything I write. *yawn*

I'm waiting for the challenging part of school to start. Is it wrong of me to get bored with my classes?

I'm pushing through, anyhow. I can taste that degree and nothing is going to get in my way again.

I'm still with the FS. I still enjoy my job. I got hate mail today. I might frame it.

Right now, I need inspiration. I just don't have anything that I want to write about.

Farewell 'till next time.
