If I am being honest.....

You know how you get those questions that the people asking don't really want an answer or that you don't really feel like answering truthfully. I get asked all the time, "How do you do it?" I always say something like well I love my life, so it is really more fun than anything else. (Which is a true statement. I do love my life, my babies, my husband, my responsibilities, my friends, and my family.) The part I don't really tell everybody is that on a daily basis something either has or is likely to go wrong. So here is my attempt to be completely honest with you.

If I am being honest I will tell you that I fight with my husband. I know you may be surprised at that given that I'm so sweet and charming, and he is so admirable and caring. HA! HA! Yes, it is very true. We can really let each other have it over some of the dumbest things. I have noticed that the longer we have been married we choose our arguments better, and they are fewer and farther between, but on occasion either one of us can very easily make the other one absolutely explode with frustration.

If I am being honest I will tell you that my kids are little lunatics. I mean verifiable crazy people. They do things like attack another person over a plastic piece of fruit. They flip the breaker for the airconditioner, so that their daddy has to study the mechanics of a lady's body while sweating like he has been running a marathon. They sit in the kitchen eating dog food. They watch their mama clean up a room full of toys only to empty every box in their bedroom five minutes later. (WHO DOES THAT??) They color with permanent marker on their grandmother's furniture and knock over her big tall grandfather clock that is a family heirloom. They are nuts and are taking me down with them.

If I am being honest I will tell you that nothing in this world will make me angrier than if someone compromises the stength of my little core family. I won't say much about this, but I will tell you that up until a few years ago, I was a very naive girl. I thought that if you were nice to people they will be nice to you. They will respect you. I know that sounds so juvenile, but I really believed that. I have recently discovered that if that still small quiet voice is telling you that someone is up to no good, or that someone has bad intentions for you. LISTEN! I was under the impression that I needed to be accepting of everyone no matter what moral system they followed. I have learned the hard way that some people just can't be trusted, and do not have your best interest at heart, and if I'm being honest, I have found a strength in me that I wasn't sure I had. I'm really happy about that.

Hope you guys have a great weekend and thank you for reading my blog. I love it when people tell me that they read something on my blog. I know how many  people are reading it, but I don't know who, so it is nice to hear that some of you that I love are check it from time to time. Until next time!
