I did it.....

I did it. This is actually something I can admit to and not face legal fees of any kind. I went to the store and bought myself something with my tax return. Not something for the house, not something for the kids, not something for the husband, but ya know they all got stuff. Today R and I decided to head out and burn through some of our tax money. He has a $500 jump on me already, not counting the new fish tanks and stuff. So I said to myself, self I said, this time you are going to get yourself something.

The first store we went to was Wal-Mart, a store we seem to live in. In fact, I get kidded at work about my frequent trips there. But I do shop well there. At that store R could not come in because it was over crowded so he waited in the van while I ran in. I went in and got the kids top up cards for their phones. Then I had to get some feminine hygiene products for my daughter, I grabbed some bandaids too, never know when we’ll need one with him snoring and stuff. He could fall out of bed, with me having nothing to do with it. I also got a new cat tree for the cats so they won’t rip up my furniture because that makes me very sad. I needed two of them. Only had one at that Wally World so I had to go to the big city and hit that Wally World. Didn’t get anything here for me yet.Went to the big city Wally World, R came in this time. He got two new knives, he loves knives, he also got a new cell phone, one that he can hopefully hear with easier. Bought us all new sheets and comforter sets. Very important to get those every Spring. Bought fish tank supplies and another cat tree. Didn’t get myself anything here yet either.

Then we went to Circuit City, now I’m usually a Best Buy shopper, but Mall shopping on a warmer Saturday is not going to happen with R at all and if I go to the Mall I look around and I’m not leaving him in the car, not even with the windows cracked! There is where I got myself something. I got myself, get this, an IPOD! Yes, I got me a 30 gig IPOD for almost the same amount as a 4gig IPod Nano. I went all out and got the one with all the bells and whistles. Not that I have any idea how to use the bells or whistles, but they’re there in case I ever do. I am so proud of you. R cheered me on. Whole reason we went to Circuit City is because he wanted to look at Sharper Image products. But aha, I went and looked at IPods, they had a lot more accessories for the Nano’s, but I’d be so afraid of losing the Nano. I have to admit, I feel a little guilty that I finally did something for myself, and spent that much money on myself, but ya know what, I so deserve it.Took him over to Tweeter where he found a nice radio for his bedside shelving and we came home. I have been playing with my IPOD since we got home. I should have done this a long long time ago. *Sigh*

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.
