So yes I know a lot
of my posts start out like this, but you'll have to bear with me and understand
that this is my blog and if at any time you do not agree with me or do not like
what I'm posting you are more than welcome to stop reading. Yes I know
some times it's like a train accident where you just can't turn your head away,
I'm that good of a writer but if you do not like it, don't read it.
We’ll move on to each issue and I’ll address
them until my heart is content or I feel my point has been made.
With
so many broken families you treasure the people that love you with all your
heart and even if they piss you off you DO NOT BAD MOUTH them. Especially on the internet. As Phineas and Ferb say “Flame is fleeting,
but the internet is forever.” Once you
post it on there than it’s there. People
have seen it and you can’t take it back.
I think this is why when I’m pissed off at something instead of posting
right away I wait a day or two so I’m posting it as a Southern and not as my
Northern side. I’d probably piss more
people off if I did most of my posting as a Northern. I don’t care if you don’t like the person at
the moment or they’ve really pissed you off remember they love you. If this is someone who has been a
mother/father figure to you remember they choose to love you. They didn’t have to, but they did. So please remember this when you decided to bash
this person that loves you by choice. No
matter how upset I get with my oldest son’s Biological father, I will NOT bash
him in front of my son. You do not bash
the other parent in front of the child.
While,
yes I will allow my children to have their own privacy, if at any point in time
while they live under my roof if I feel they are hiding something that could
hurt themselves or someone else in my house I WILL GO THROUGH THEIR
THINGS! I don’t care if they are 16 or
25. If you are in my house you are under
my rules. I’m not saying that my boys
will be under lock and key, but they will have rules they will have to follow. I’m not ashamed to admit I lived at home
until I was 22 and there were rules I had to follow. My mom woke by 5:00am so; unless I was
working I had to be in by 11pm so I didn’t wake her up by the dogs
barking. She didn’t demand to know where
I was all the time, but as a courtesy I 97% of the time told her where I was
going and who I was with. (I’m talking
about when I turned 18). In fact I was
still in high school when I turned 18. I
hope that I can be ½ the parents mine were to me.
Okay
on to the next subject. Everyone is
entitled to raise their children and behave with and around their children
their own way. Just because you/we might
not agree with it doesn’t make it wrong or right. I just hope that parents that are always
going out and don’t spend as much time with their children as possible realizes
just how special their children are.
Before you know it you’ll look up and that baby that was cooing at you
is 8 and is sitting at the table doing homework and talking about his next
project. Or even forbid what girl he has a crush on. Time is precious when it comes to kids. I know I don’t have the patience to home
school my children, but I am very grateful for this time I have with my three
little ones. Yes I need time for me
every once in awhile, but it’s not once a week and it’s not once every two
weeks. I might get some time to myself
once a month that is more than 5 minutes.
I hate to break it to people but running to the store without the kids
while it’s nice is not a break. If you
haven’t figured it out yet being a parent, but especially a stay at home parent
is a 24 hour, 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year kind of job. I take mine very seriously. I know I have people that will gladly watch
my children, but the way I see it, I use those very far and few in
between. I need those for when there is
an emergency. My point of this one, is
just because we don’t raise our children the same doesn’t mean either one of us
is right or wrong. Now common sense
should always prevail. You always buckle
your children in the car (they should never be running around while you are
driving), children under the age of 1 probably should be eating a whole lot
that can rot their teeth, and while I have one like this their favorite food
should not be Fries from a fast food place. Personally I do not believe in
going out all the time now. When I was
younger I did do this, but still not a lot.
At this time in my life I am a home body and don’t need the bar scene.
People
who think just because you have WIC checks or have food stamps you must be
lazy. I hate to break this to you
people, but there are a lot of us out there, that are not abusing the
system. My husband works his ass off to
provide for us. He works at his main job
50 hours a week and then works a 2nd job 15-40 hours a week,
depending on the demand. We were blessed
with one job in this economy and having two is even better. There are weeks though were he isn’t needed
at all. We use it for what it was
intended. For a helping hand up, not to
be our only source of income. I know
families that are military and have food stamps, because our soldiers aren’t
paid enough to begin with. Believe me I’ve
seen the women that go into the store and have 3 carts of food and pay with
food stamps and then pull a wad of cash from their bra’s that’s nothing but $20’s
to pay for whatever is left over. They
then go out to their brand new cars that have rims on them that cost more than
van and all you can do is shake your head.
Yes I BELIEVE you should have to pee in a cup if you are on public assistance. It’s not fair that the cash you are getting
from the state is paying for your drugs.
You have to pee in a cup for 90% of the jobs out there, so why not for
assistance. Oh wait, that’s why they don’t
have jobs. Never mind. My point in this one is next time you are
behind someone who is paying with WIC and food stamps, remember they might not
be abusing the system.
People
who don’t realize how good they have it.
Do you have a roof over your head?
Is there food in your belly? Are
your children (if you have them) clothed?
If you replied yes to these than you have it better than some
people. Yes I know there are things that
could make your/our lives easier but truthfully you are blessed in what you have. If you have people that help you remember to
thank them and let them know you appreciate everything they do for you.
People
that are two faced is my best way of putting it. When you condemn someone for something, yet
you do not condemn someone else for doing the same thing. A friend of mine wrote a blog post and was
called into the “principle’s” office about this post. She was told that the “principle” had
received many emails on this and was told she was wrong to write it and that
she wasn’t setting a very good example and even though it was her opinion on
this subject she should basically take it all back and say she was wrong and
that she was sorry. It cause much contraversy
and she felt she was no longer welcome in a place she had been welcome for 30+
years. Fast forwarded two – three weeks and
I write a blog post (http://lilbitsthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/05/church-and-my-views.html) which is basically the same thing my friend wrote. We have the same “principle” and here it is a
week after mine and nothing. We both
feel that she was targeted for some reason and that is not right. We also have mutual friends that told her she
was wrong for hers and yet have basically applauded mine. What is right or wrong for one has to be
right or wrong for the other.
Yes
now I am going to bring in the Church subject.
I really thought I covered all this in my last big post, but I forgot a
couple of things and so I will say them now.
I firmly believe if we have more Missions trips here in the USA and
reach out more in the USA we’d have more Christians. I understand that the
Bible tells us to go out and if it wasn’t for the people in the beginning going
to other places we wouldn’t have it, but I’m a firm believer in you have to fix
home before you can fix away. If we don’t
have enough Christians here at home, why are we trying to get people in other
countries to believe what we believe.
People in the Church (this is everywhere) need to learn the facts and
the whole story before the start running their damn mouths. If you don’t know the story don’t talk about
it. Are we still in High School? Also please do not tell me to watch what I
say because it reflects upon myself. Yes
I know it does. I 99% of the time do not
say anything I do not mean and would not stand behind. I get that I’m a Christian and that I am to
help non believers become believers, but non believers need to see that we aren’t
perfect. Being a Christian does not mean
that we are perfect. Human’s as a race
is the most imperfect thing every. We
have sin and sin and oh more sin. You
have to accept Jesus as your Savior to pass through the doors of Heaven (John
14:6 reads: Jesus Answered, “ I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”) We are all sinners. Some of you may or may not know (and I’ll try
and post a picture) but I have a tattoo of a Devil on my back. He isn’t completely filled in and under it,
it says, “I’m not completely Evil.” It helps remind me that everyone has it in
them to be evil and nasty. I try very
hard not to be. Every time someone
comments about my Devil it reminds me even more that I am not evil. I am a good person, even though people may
think otherwise. We need to work on home
and fix home before we go abroad.
I think I’ve said enough and I’m sure I’ll get
some WONDERFUL Comments and I’m even more sure there will be things at Church
said because of this. Just remember one
thing, GOD is the only who will Judge me and He will Judge me at Heavens door
when I get there. Matthew 7:1-2 reads: “Do
not judge or you too will be judge. For in the same way you judge others, you
will be judged, and the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” As you read in (http://lilbitsthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/05/church-and-my-views.html) my Favorite verse is in
Revelations. I would have to say that
Matthew 7:1-2 is right up there with that.
I hope that everyone has a fantabulous evening and that after reading
this, I’ve given you some things to think on.
