Happy Easter

Paul’s mother came for a visit and we survived. In fact, at some points, we even had, dare I say it? FUN! Yes that’s right, we had fun. We dyed Easter eggs and you’d think she was one of the kids with how excited she was with it. She really had a great time. No I didn’t get any pictures of her dyeing eggs, that would have required forethought of which, I have none. She made sure each and every egg of hers went home with her too with great concern that one could be broken. In fact it’s what we heard when we brought her home, don’t break my eggs. Oh goodness they could crack very easily. Where are my eggs? Do you have my eggs?

We had a ham dinner, which R thought was funny because Jesus was Jewish and did not eat pork or pork products which would include ham. We also had deviled eggs, which I’m sure Jesus had, if not him then definitely the Easter bunny. Some one had deviled eggs besides us.


We did not have carrots which is something that you’re supposed to have from what I was later told, I thought that was what you left out for the Easter Bunny and the Reindeer at Christmas. I didn’t know we were supposed to cook them and eat them. I get my holidays so confused

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.
