Life has an interesting way of working things out. My life has done a complete 180 in the last 6 months, but today... I am so glad it did. I figured out that God has a plan for me and the road that I was taking was not part of it. I have been blessed with some amazing and wonderful women in my life. Women that I call my friends. Thank you to each one of you, I hope that you will get the chance to read this.
Thank you for being my rock, and for believing in me. Thank you for taking the time to listen to me with all my problems. Thank you for not judging me. I appreciate each one of you, rather than get in the middle and try to stir up more trouble and more drama you helped me to try and find a solution to the problem. I really appreciate that.
I have debated, and thought, and pondered, and all other words that remotely have the same meaning, of what I should post about. Seriously... I got my drama out there, I got my pissed off 'ness out there. So anyhow, I just couldn't come up with anything that was completely awesome. I know, I know, fo' reals yo.. I haven't much to talk about today... so I thought It would be fun just to entertain you with random facts. Ready? Here we go...

Ok... I don't know how true any of these are, but they were online... so... they gotta be right? If not... tough shit. You will get over it I'm sure. If not, here is something else to make you laugh.
What? How did the child learn about duct tape and WTF is she going to use it for? I'm not exactly sure and I don't think I want to find out.
My kids are completely amazing. Its like they know when I'm having one of my days... like today. I woke up in my usual bitter mood, with a head ache even though I didn't do anything to deserve the headache. I'm sitting here at the computer, kids are watching Nick Jr. And it happens... my life feels worth while for a moment or two and a smile comes across my face.
I hear Bob Marley singing Three Little Birds, Kid #1 runs into the other room and turns up the t.v. We have this on the ipod and listen to it almost every morning while we dance on the way to work and daycare. I wasn't having such a great day so far and she runs in, hugs me and says:
Mommy, it's our favorite song... I love you!
then she gives me another hug topped off with a kiss on the cheek and now I can't get this smile off my face.
I'm sure that at some point in the day, like the next hour or so when kid #2 starts to draw on the wall or throw a temper tantrum, I will lose my cool and start to stress out again and need a nap or something. But for now... I'm happy. Why am I so happy? Because nothing else matters... that's why. If you don't have kids, you wouldn't understand and... dogs and cats... they don't live up to what a kid can do. I had a cat, God rest his precious little soul, and I treated him like one of my children but he couldn't do what my kids did... drive me crazy and warm my heart at the same time.
