You want me to put the lights where?

Well it only took him an HOUR to come out and put the lights on the tree. Of course his excuse was that the cat was lying on him and he couldn’t disturb him. Hmm this is the same guy who crawls back and forth across me all night long waking me up but lets not disturb the cat. Oh no, that would be really bad. But it’s okay to wake the wife up constantly all night long. Oh sure, I get so easily confused on what’s allowed and what’s not!
So what did I do? Well, I went and got the treats for the cats and called the cat out to me!! Hmm seems to me your excuse just ran out here to get a chicken and cheese Scooby Snack. Scooby Snacks are what we call them. All the cats ran out to get them and little Midnight was very gentle in taking it out of my hand. No blood was spilled at all in the passing of the snacks. Made me very proud of my three boys and the old lady.
So finally he finished up the lights, then I put on the garland, then each of the kids put on a box of snowmen ornaments. I also put on some snowman ornaments that I had extra. I love snowmen. The entire tree is in blue and white. In fact most of the decorations are in blue and white. I like the look. I like having a snowman theme as well. It was fun.
Now I plan to sit back and watch the tree for awhile. I got a lot of decorating done and have more to do tomorrow after I go to the store for more lights. I think another set of white will do, or maybe I’ll get a second set of blue instead. I love the sights, smells and sounds of Christmas.
I’m glad we got a real tree even if it is little small, but it’s nice and round. Yeppers, I’d say this is one of my most favorite trees ever.

Get out of your own head.....

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

Monster Juice Spray pussifying our children?

Today someone posted a cute little story about a pharmacy that prescribes a Monster Spray to children that have monsters under their bed. They spray the spray before bedtime, under their bed and it makes all the monsters go away. A little six year old girl used it three times before she was sure all the monsters were gone. I find this story absolutely adorable. I think it's wonderful that this pharmacists does something so kind for small children with big imaginations. I think a little magic in this world is just what a lot of child need. The response from one woman totally had me stunned. She said it's crap like this that is pussifying our children. Really? Then she went on in another reply when asked what one has to do with the other to say her daughter was bullied and what are they going to make next, bully spray? (They do make a bully spray, it's called mace!)  Her daughter had to graduate early because of bullies. Okay, what does her daughter being bullied have to do...

Sometimes..

Sometimes the emotional pain becomes too much to bear. Sometimes the emotional pain feels like it's going to consume us. Sometimes the emotional pain is so overwhelming that we need a physical pain to release it before we lose ourselves and who we are in it. Not everyone can understand this, I get that. Not everyone can look at someone with scars that were self inflicted and say, I see your pain. Sometimes, we hide those scars under our jeans so no one will notice. It's not for attention, it's for release. Sometimes we dull the pain with alcohol, sometimes we dull the pain with drugs either prescription or illegal. Sometimes we smoke too much and talk to loud. But we find our release to keep us alive. We are survivors with our scars to prove it.
