Back Stabbing.......

I always thought that people who liked to start drama had nothing else better to do~otherwise why would they start drama!?  But why do these people always feel the need to drag us dog tired people into their shit??  Once again I am the topic of discussion~am I a back stabber??!!  I would like to think NOT!!  But I guess if you classify me going to bat for you up against someone that I don't even know all that well being a back stabber then I guess I'm guilty as sin.  I am a tried and true friend and all I generally get is kick in the shin for doing so.  :(  People feel the need to start drama that I am a terribly bad person that can not be trusted~this is the same person that has never been pulled over by the police (knock on wood!), I own and operate a childrens toy crafting in-home business and make and donate rag quilts to the NICU for the sick babies.  Guess I have a pretty good cover if I'm truly a bad ass!!  lol

Why are people so caught up in revenge??  Why can't people just let issues die??  Many people wonder why they have health issues~stop stressing out over pointless shit and that might help!!  I know I am a nervous person~I get caught up in way too much then I get sick.  So I had made up my mind that I'm not going to care as much as I had.  But when it comes right down to it that is impossible for me to do.  :(  I guess I care too much about the people around me and what is happening in their lives to just throw the towel in.  But it down right pisses me off to the point that flames should shoot out of my ears when people drag me into their pointless, endless drama.  I truly count these people as my sisters (yes I am talking about women~I know women and drama??) and then they decide that they don't know who they can trust so they just completely shut down??  Not sure that I am the one with the issues here.............

I think women have it the worse~first "Kim" is best friends with "Nancy" then "Julie" comes to town and "Kim" introduces "Nancy" to "Julie" and now what do you know "Nancy" and "Julie" go out for lunch and "Kim" gets pissed off at both of them!!  lol  But if "Nancy" or "Julie" confront "Kim" she says nothing is wrong.  I have had this happen to me~but the only difference is the gal came to me and asked if I cared that they were friends with the other person!!  I admire them~I didn't care one bit~we were all friends in the first place so what difference does it make??  I think we are all adults~and if you are that insecure that you have to own your friends then you need to make an appointment to have that checked out.  We are free to speak to those we choose.

We live in a world that people are fighting for our freedom~getting killed daily to defend people they don't even know.  We also live in the day that teens with issues decide when they wake up that day to walk into the school and open gun fire on those in their path.  And yet people still get hung up on the fact that "Nancy" and "Julie" are friends??  Wow......I think people need to open their eyes and see the bigger picture sometimes.  Friends are not an essential part of life~yes they make the ride better along the way~but they are not required.  I believe as long as you are happy in the relationships that matter (marriage and family) not much else should really be of concern.  But we live in a world that people think too much so I'm pretty sure that will never change.

Run ragged.......

Have you ever had weeks that you have just simply been too busy to think??  I mean really......with 4 girls I am always going here and there running round.    Haley had Cheerleading~that ended Thursday so thank goodness that's over for a while.  lol  But then comes in Allie with 4-H Clover Kids and Girl Scouts.  Which Girl Scouts just started their cookie sales last Monday so we are up to our ears in cookies!!   Which don't get me wrong is AWESOME but not too great on the waist line!!  ;)  We ordered over 200 boxes of cookies and I have to tell you I started to freak out a little bit!!  We are responsible to pay for each and every one of those boxes of cookies~but within the week we are out of cookies and needed to order MORE!!   So more stress to carry on!!  So we have been busily driving from door to door asking if anyone would like to buy cookies~the first day out was in the middle of a snow storm~but this Girl Scout didn't want to stop~storm or not. She was afraid that someone would take her sale.  Way to go!!

Then we have Grace who is also in 4-H Clover Kids~which is on a separate day than Allie's meeting.  I am also a co-leader of a 4-H club that seems to have kinda taken a back burner~the leaders get busy with life and things fall back~but getting back on track.  :)  And little Tessa just sits back and enjoys the rides to and from with all of her sister's activities.  One day she will have things of her own to be shuttled back and forth to. 

And I have been working like a crazy woman sewing the rag quilts for the NICU~had an interview with the local paper last week!!  Yeah me!!  lol  So had to make sure that I had items to photograph.  I seem to sew nonstop lately~with Cuddle Time items and orders and now the NICU blankets.  But to tell you the truth I wouldn't have life be any other way.  I have Tupperware parties from friends and just random life things pop up in my life~but what would life be like if we actually had time to stop and think??  I'm not sure what I would do!!  The little voices in my head might actually have time to come up with some really great ideas.........and I am frighten that I might start to act on some of them!!  As I was sitting at the sewing machine yesterday I couldn't help but think of what we were going to have for supper~then I remembered that I had put a roast in the crock pot earlier that morning!!  lol   Can I blame it on being a Monday!?

I can't remember the last time that we didn't have something to do~the kids activities keep me on the go and my van running here and there but what would I really do if we didn't have all that going on??  Probably sit home and become a hermit!!  It's amazing the people that you meet going out and about!!  Sometimes they are very nice, normal people~and then there are people/kids that you wished that you had never met.  I had that pleasure at one of the wrestling meets that Haley cheered at~let's just say that he had words with one of the girls (cheerleaders) as I stood back baffled that he would even say something like what he did.  Fingers had been shown and the girls sat there with baffled looks on their faces not sure of what to do.  I let the coach know of the issue and she took care of it~then the "pleasant" boy moved to a different spot but not after shooting me a few dirty looks.  It's a good thing I wasn't his mother~cause law or not I would have whipped his A$$ when we got home.  It's one thing to show off but to be flat out rude and disrespectful is another.  But back to point~you meet all sorts of people~some good others bad and as much as we would like to stay home in the comfort of our own homes our children won't let us!!  lol  Now I understand why my parents we always run so ragged.  I was also a cheerleader so with practice and games that tallies up to be a lot of running around.  But I don' t think I ever took the time to say thank you for all the running around to my parents~oops!!  As my children have never said thank you either!!  (Wonder where they get that from??)  But as parents we would do (pretty much) anything legal for our children~busy or not.  <3
