Hand Crack

My lame moment for the week...

Since we are all on our overkill antibacterial kicks, I am sure you have noticed the extremely rough and dry skin resulting from the antibacterial lotions and soaps. This became super apparent to me when I went to hold Monkeys hand and it was rough as sand paper! Monkeys dry hands are a combo of antibacterial overkill and too much chlorine in my parents pool. Anyway, not to be "Bandwagon Betty," but I love Burts Bees products! I bought the Hand Salve and my hands are literally junkies now! I love the stuff and can't wait to get out of the shower and rub it on my hands right before bed. I bought the canister for about $10, and was reluctant at first, but this stuff lasts forever and it works soooooo great! Monkeys hands have improved almost 100% after only using it for a couple of weeks and not even every day.

Not sure why it says "a farmer's friend" I don't get it...

Just thought I would share a lame moment with you. I promise to not let it happen again...this week.

And you thought "Mean Girls" went away after high school?

I actually missed a couple of days without blogging! Shocker! I know! To tell you the truth I was actually dealing with some pretty serious drama.

Once upon a time I was an extreme partier, random dater, drinker, and overall "I don't give a s_it." Translate that however you want, but I was young and tried to live my life the way that made ME happy first, and everyone else second. When I was a teenager and early twenties, I really did not care what people said about me. It did not really bother me for people to say things like "she parties too much," or "I heard she..." To me this always translated as people who had nothing better to do then be wrapped up in my life. So wrapped up in my life that I would actually hear things about myself that I had not idea I "did or said."

I left all of that behind be, as many of us do when we become "grownups" a few years ago and have not felt the need to look back. I try to be a great mom, and a respectable wife. I love my husband and children. There is a great saying that I got from a Tyler Perry movie called the 80:20 rule. It means that a marriage will only be able to satisfy 80% of all your needs in life. The alternative....whatever that may be....can only satisfy 20%. Would you give up 80% for 20%?

Anyway...in order to keep things vague and not share too much considering that there were many parties hurt in what happened over the weekend, I am going to attempt to have you "read between the lines," while protecting those involved.

Basically, I received this horrible and hateful message on Facebook (the devil) from an anonymous fake user name on Easter Sunday. The email said some hateful personal things that were not exactly completely true...as most rumors often are. I click on this person to see what this is all about and I am blind sighted by this full page of details regarding someone and their issues with fidelity. It accompanied a list of intimate details about a handful of woman who dated this person in the past and their relationships with him. It also had links to these woman and their full names and fb/myspace accounts. This person was urging people to forward the link to tell as many people as possible about what these people were all about. Do people not care about the safety of these people when passing on this link?

Most of the woman had not even spoken to this guy in years, and were taken back by this anonymous facebookers allegations regarding them and this person.

In a nut shell this FB person had a change of heart a couple of days later and removed the page. Not without putting into question the reputation of the people listed first though. I appreciate this person for doing the right thing, but I just don't understand what would posses someone to do things so hurtful to people that they don't even know and have never met. Its one thing to put your own skeletons out for all to see, but what give anyone the right to put others out on display? This person would have had to become a friend of mine on fb in order to access to some of the info that they knew and were sharing. I went in and deleted almost 300 contacts...paranoia will do that to you.

I cried and prayed for the 2-3 days that this went on. Asking what I did to deserve this. I prayed and said things like "I am a decent person and am trying to do right by my family, why would someone want to do this to another person." Regardless of the truth of any of the information on this page about all of the people involved...it is still wrong to great lengths to do something like that.

I am sharing this because it helps me to deal with the ordeal and believe me, what i am sharing is just the tip of the iceberg and I am still very much hurt by this.

Please be careful what information you share online and who you friend on these social networks. There are people who may be harboring anger for something that happened way back when and just waiting for the chance to hurt you.

Does anybody even read this sh_t?

I honestly cannot remember the reason that I started blogging (stop and scratch head). All I know is that now, although I feel corny to admit it, blogging serves as an outlet for me to express my thoughts and opinions without borders. I have never had a hard time "telling it like it is." but blogging let's me do it even better.

I write about what I want and when I want. It is the only place where I feel that I can accurately put my thoughts into "words." Have you ever wanted to say something or express a particular thought, yet were not able to put that thought into words that make any kind of sense? I usually sound like I am babbling, but I swear there is some devoted meaning to my thoughts. (dude that was insightful)

Sometimes though I will admit that I get caught up in the whole...who exactly is reading this? Even though we all blog for a variety of reasons, we don't really mind people reading it right? Well I can assume that is right, because if we cared about any kind of "privacy" regarding our blogs, they would be completely private, or we would find the old school "journal or diary" to express these thoughts.

I just wish that I had been able to blog my entire life. Maybe then I would have been able to let people hear things from the "horses mouth" rather then have them speculate tons of random issues. I know that this may seem random in itself and that's okay. It's okay because I do not write for an audience, I write for myself...and if you enjoy reading...well that is just an added bonus for me. Thanks!

I turn my back for a second and look where Bean ends up...

Note: We found Bean had made it all the way from the floor to here in less then 1 minute!! When we "found" him I sent Monkey to sit next to him in case he fell and I took pictures from a safe distance. I just had too!!

BUSTED!!!
