Burnt Pork Chops

Burnt pork chops and it’s all my fault. I put the pork chops in the skillet and started them.
Pattycakes asked if I’d come put LaPolla the fish in his new tank. I turned to Rob and said, don’t let the pork chops burn, Im going upstairs I’ll be back. I just put them on the stove top. They hadn’t even started to cook yet.

Well I was gone a bit longer than I expected and when I came downstairs, the house was filled with smoke, my daughter was waiting by the door with the where the hell have you been face?
She said the whole house was filled with smoke and the pork chops are burnt. Where were you?
I said I left Dad in charge of the pork chops.
I went in to Rob, what happened?
It’s all your fault.
All my fault? How can it be my fault? I wasn’t even home.
I have too many things going on and I have a little brain and there were flames and you were only supposed to be gone for a minute. And and and I burned my hand on the skillet moving it to the back burner to stop the flames.
Didn’t I asked you not to burn the pork chops or light the house on fire?
Yes, but again, I have a little brain and it’s all your fault. You should make me go to bed with no supper.
Umm yeah- no.. what I should do is make you eat all the burnt meat before you go to bed!
We all ate them, they weren’t bad, they had a grilled taste to them. All I asked was don’t burn the pork chops, what was I thinking.

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.
