Putting the Crown Away ...
So, this past week I got into a little sumthing with a family member that lead me to realize some things about myself. My hubby calls me a drama queen, but I never believed him. He needed more people, because he couldn't possibly be talking about me, I'm anything but a drama queen. In fact I hate to feel like someone did something that they didn't want to do simply because I made it hard for them to not to ... or do I? Watching and listening to this 'relative' go through the motions over a simple statement that I made was like an out of body experience. As she went on and on about how 'I was trying to hurt her' I really saw myself. Maybe not to that extreme, but definitely in the same area. Wow, I thought ... do I really sound like that??? Are the things I choose to argue about really worth the fuss, or do I simply want things to go my way ... good or bad? If I'm really honest with myself, I would have to say yeah ... I do sound like that and no ... most of what I choose to argue about isn't that damn serious. What I also realized is that a rational mind will get you a whole lot further than the screaming and crying. While my 'relative' cried about why I hate her so much. I really wasn't listening. I was rolling my eyes thinking ... WTF is wrong with this crazy b*tch, much like how my Hubby always heads for the door when I go on my crying spells. However, when I approach him calmly with straight forward questions or comments about whatever it is I've found a problem with, things go very differently. We sit down and we TALK. We communicate and things always get better. Always. So ... looking back maybe I was a bit of a Drama Queen ... going off the deep end because I thought that's what I needed to do to get my point across. Not realizing that there was a better way that didn't require the emotional drain. I've decided to put the crown away, now that I've noticed it's gleam. I'd much rather 'real understanding' over an 'exhausted {most likely fake} surrender'.
Family Water Day!!!

So Glad It's Friday ...
After going without sleep for 36+ hours ... I was no good to anyone for the latter part of the day. Worst part is, I think I'm coming down with a cold. Ugh. Evenstill, I'm going to enjoy my Fam Day tomorrow. So I'm not complaining. I have waaay too much to be happy about right now. I'll post pics when it's all said & done. **BTW ** It's my step~son's bday ... Happy Bday Jaja!! Cc loves you baby ...
Please Note ...
Never be the same Fool Twice ... always learn from the dumb sh*t you gotta go through, otherwise you're just as dumb as the sh*t.
I'm Just a {B}Logger at Heart ...
So ... I'm working on a new project that included me looking through all of my ancient journals!!! I love going back and realizing just how far I've come on soooo many different levels. One dream of mine was always to start up a magazine. Back in the day I would create all these little journals, seperate from my private ones, and let my friends read through them like it was an actual magazine! I ran across one and decided to share it with my blogger world. It was funny to me, because here I am almost 10 years later, still sharing all the craziness that runs through my mind ... hope you enjoy!!!

ng stones .... that's my coping mantra.
ng stones .... that's my coping mantra. Everything that you go through in life is a step closer to where you want to be. Be it good or bad. You're going to have low points that make you wanna crawl under a rock and die. And you're gonna have high moments that will have you thinking that life couldn't possibly turn it's back on you. Regardless of what happens, you have to keep moving forward. Don't allow the bad times to pull you backwards and don't let the good times keep you stagnant. Recognize it all for what it is ... stepping stones.
Keep it movin'.
Easy like Sunday morning ...
