Irritations

This might not be a popular post, if anyone actually reads it, so just avoid it if you wish.
I feel like getting some irritations out so Im gonna do it here.

*I think if you dont vax your child(for the main stuff, not talking flu or chicken pox)you are an idiot. However, that doesnt mean I wont respect your decision since you have to live with it, not me. But please dont assume I am uneducated or just stupid for vaxing my children...that isnt the case. And if you wanna go there...I WILL call you an idiot and I wont have to back myself up.

*I think religion is a crutch. I think you can have spirituality w/o religion. I think you can have faith w/o believing in a god of any kind. I think if you cant argue w/o the bible then dont bother because not everyone believes in it and so its not a good "debate tool" when trying to prove your point.

*I think public schools get suckier and suckier and that scares me.

*I think people need to pull their heads out when it comes to weight. Just because some of us are overweight doesnt make us lepers or less than other people. We are just as intelligent, just as loving, just as kind, just as great as the skinny person down the road.

*I think your kids can survive without going to the park daily.

*I think you can survive without your family and still be happy.

*I think friends are great but not if they arent true friends.

*I think if you act like a friend but then "drift" away because the other didnt attend a social event with you...you suck and werent a real friend to begin with.

*I think I should be able to say my children drive me batty and not be labeled unloving,etc as a mother.

*I think people who think they know all because they "researched" something online for months are stupid and dont really understand research at all. And frankly, Id love to be a fly on the wall in a few years when the research they thought was unfallible because obsolete and what they refused to do or believe becomes the "best" way to do things,etc. Man will I laugh my arse off when that day comes.

Ok...thats it for now. I feel a bit better and will add when I feel the urge.

Amazing...

It truly amazes me to see what a difference a day truly CAN make.

My last blog took place the day after we met with B in the park. Not too long after I posted it my husband received an email from his brother R, he was ready to talk. So that evening, that VERY evening, he came over with Beverly and from about 730p til 1am they talked and talked and talked.

The past slipped away before my very eyes. NEVER have I seen forgiveness like that. Men sure do amaze me LOL. Ive seen forgiveness but not so complete in an instant of time. At the end of the visit they hugged, said I love you and that it was over.

The next evening my husband got a call from M and they spoke and mended the fence(thankfully this fence wasnt hard to mend). Then the next afternoon, J called my husband after speaking with M and they mended their hearts.

The brothers put the past behind them and are looking forward to a future as a family. It was so instantanious that I think my jaw didnt leave the floor for ages. They said...we are over it and they were, in that instant! Amazing...

So, ever since then Dan has been visiting R and they've helped each other out. R and B had us over for a BBQ on Super Bowl weekend and tomorrow we are supposed to have another one. Dans helped them do many things and this is how they have "repayed" him. Its amazing, I dont think I can use that word enough.

Its also brought out something in me that I didnt know was possible. Just the slightest bit of jealousy. I guess because I had Dan all to myself for 6 1/2 yrs its hard to now share him? He now goes over to his brothers instead of coming straight homes sometimes, he gets up and does stuff on Sundays where before he just vegged. Its wonderful but there is a tiny piece of me that is jealous of the whole thing.

Odd isnt it? Im sure its not abnormal to feel this way but it makes me giggle because I wanted this reunion so badly for my husband and now this.

Life sure can throw you curve balls every so often and its really ok because most of the time, those curveballs, make your life interesting and educational.

So there is my update!
