Really?

What ever happened to being honest or saying Thank you? It seems like these two ideas have been lost in society. Why is it so hard to be honest, and us your manners? Was I the only one brought up that way?

I have a tattoo across my chest that reads, "No Lies, Just Love". I am not perfect and yes I do lie from time to time. However, when I say "I miss you!!!" I mean it. I'm not just saying it to say it. If you do not miss me, do not say you do. Actions speak louder then words folks. If you can't make time for me, that's fine. If you don't miss me, that's fine too. But when you know I'm coming to see you, and you wait until the last minute to say you won't be home you've made other plans, that is when I get pissed. (Also hurt...mostly hurt actually.)

Thank you works the same way. When I show concern for you or your family, say thank you. Don't just go on about how it's fine and then hang up. The world is falling apart, can't we keep manners?
Would you like a glass of tea? "No THANK YOU!"
"Do you want me to turn around and check on them?" "No I'm sure they are fine. THANK YOU for offering though!"
It's not that hard people.

Still Waiting....

Social Security Administration. UGH! I am still waiting to OFFICIALLY take my husband's last name. We got married in October. This is partly my fault. About a week after our wedding I had surgery and was laid up for a while. So I didn't get the forms turned in right away. However, I did turn them in. I am still waiting on my new SS Card. I really do not like calling offices and getting automated messages. I would much rather talk to an employee. Hopefully I can find out where my card is today.

This weekend we are going to see my in-laws! I'm very excited about that! We haven't been up there since Christmas and I miss them. I LOVE my in-laws. I got lucky and got some great ones! Then Sunday we are going to see my mom and pick up my "new" car. I'm also very excited about that! Not only do I get a car, but I get to see my mommy too! I miss being able to drive myself places. That is a freedom I have always enjoyed. There is nothing like blaring my music and having the wind blow through my hair! I can't wait to have that back.

I'm still waiting to officially take my new last name, and still waiting for a car but over all, things are pretty awesome. And even if they aren't, oh well. ;)

Too Thin?

Do you ever feel like you've taken too much on? Like you are stretching yourself too thin? Have you ever felt upset, sad or angry and you don't know why? This is how I have been feeling since yesterday. I'm crying for no reason and then getting super pissed off. (again for no reason.) Sometimes it just feels like I have no control over anything in my life. I try turning to God for guidance but I'm still new at that. Sometimes I just need someone to hold me and let me cry. Rub my back and tell me everything will be OK-even if you do not know. This is where my husband comes in...but he's a guy. Let's face it, they aren't the greatest at picking up on emotions, and I don't feel right saying "just hold me and tell me it'll be ok".

My mom is trying to move back to my home town. I'm trying to help her find an apartment and a job. I do this because I love her. She has done anything and everything she could do to make sure I had a good life. Why not help her? I'm going to talk to my landlord today to see if he has any openings, close to me, that would be good for her.

Between helping my mom and dealing with the bull shit going on at work, it's hard to focus on anything else. I'm trying though. I'm trying to stay positive and up beat. I'm trying to learn how to lean on God and trust that He will see me through it.


Wish me luck............
