New things February

The new bed has arrived and it is 30′ off the ground. No seriously, it is. In fact, I’ve begun using my old pole vaulting pole to get in to the bed. Getting out requires bungee cord and a landing strip. Okay so maybe it’s not really 30′ off the ground because well, that wouldn’t fit in my apartment. But it is very high off the ground. In fact we have to get a running start to get in to it. Actually we run then jump and up we go. HJ can jump in to the bed with no hands now, she’s just showing off. Even R gets a running start, course I start in the hallway for dramatic effect. At some point I will have to get a picture with a tape measure showing the the exact height because it is high. It’s a temperpedic plush, okay it’s really a BobOPedic plush but I saved myself almost $1500 by buying the Bob Store version. It’s nice, although a little firm still. We’ll have to break it in.
In other news, my son D got an electric guitar tonight. He was asking for one and today I just took him over and got him one, with amp and some other stuff. He was blown away. I think if the kid is interested in art or music, it should be encouraged, especially when the amp comes with a headphone plug..
That above and the tickets to North Carolina are the extent of our tax refund. But ya know what, it’s all been well worth it. Yeppers it has.

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.
