Out of the Mouths Of Babes 3 comments
One of my friends sent me this youtube video and it’s just too adorable. A while back I posted about The Lord’s Prayer so I thought it would fit with that. Enjoy!
Weird things about me??? 2 comments
I was tagged a looooong time ago by Aurelia Williams. The task was to share seven random and weird things about me. I started this post right after that because of the tag guilt I feel when people tag me. I think it’s cute to read all that stuff but I gotta be honest -
I hate these things! 
I did Carrie’s right away because I just knew that if I didn’t it’d never get done - hating every second of it. Nothing against Carrie or Aurelia or any of you if you’ve tagged me - it’s just “those tag things” that give me the heebie jeebies.
So today I looked back at my drafts and saw two other half written posts from previous tags - and guess what?
I ain’t doin’ em! So that’s the weird thing about me. I’m tag-a-phobic!
I boycott the ones that come in my email and now I’m boycotting the ones that come to my blog! I’m not anti social, really. But to me it feels like a chain letter only worse. So part of the guilt and pressure I feel is not just this “ugh, another one I hate these things” but also “who in the world am I going to tag and will they still love me in the morning!”
So I’m officially done. I’ll happily read all your fun tag posts but if ya tag me, I ain’t playin’ anymore so consider yourself warned.
My Yucky Day - the rest of the story… No comments yet
Read the brief part 1 here and then come back for the rest of the story…
… so I spent some time in the morning yesterday looking over why my poor friend was struggling.
And honestly- it’s the internet at its worst. Here was a blog of an obviously very opinionated woman (which is fine) - which has attracted the admiration of others with the same opinion (also fine). However, from what I can see, these women spend all day, every day, on the internet not just rehashing their opinion ad nauseam but berating and maligning anyone they think might not have the same opinion.
Now in case you think I might be exaggerating about the all day every day nature of this - there several posts that actually don’t have posts - they’re just continuations of the previous post so that they can continue commenting - - each one with several HUNDRED comments each - some over 700. This isn’t 700 people - this is maybe 5 or 6 at most going back and forth like a virtual gossip bar.
The problem comes when opinion or hearsay is passed off as absolute truth - and that’s where my friend comes in, unfortunately … and why I spend my day physically nauseous. Of course there is a whole lot more to the story - and I can’t get into that there, nor will I pass on the link where all this junk is going on.
It was just a really yucky day because of it.
My yucky day…. 3 comments
So this will be one of those days that goes down in the record books as crappy. I enjoyed the day with my girls, driving to piano, laughing about who knows what, etc. I had a great time with my internet wahm friends on Moms Morning Show this morning. I really enjoyed my interview with Betsy at Smart Moms about helping your kids be entrepreneurs (nervous chatty wreck I was but it was fun none the less and Betsy was just wonderful about it all!). I even enjoyed our movie with homemade pizza (I love having teenagers who enjoy cooking!). We watched the original Father of the Bride movie - the one with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. Really cute - and I love black and white movies!
But the whole day I had this sick pit of my stomach feeling - all day - and it just made it a horribly yucky day despite the good things that happened.
It all started when I read an email from a friend and got worse as I started to find out more about her story…
…. to be continued cuz I want to go to bed!
