YouTube

So I have my first troll on my YouTube channel. The grammatically incorrect insults are quite amusing.  Sadly I find true humor in the remarks.

My little channel is growing though. Hope to be at 50 subs by mid month. I'm currently at 45.  We will see how that goes. I think I might start doing a written blog for all my videos.  Would any of you like that?

Let me know and I will see if I can make that happen.

Heart of the South

There is nothing better than being southern. I miss the hospitality and graciousness of the sweet deep south. Let us not get this confused with city life south. City south and country south are very different countries.

In the country you can be waking down the street and get invited to a barbeque. By strangers. And oddly enough you are not afraid to join and partake. You never meet a stranger because we are all a little strange.

Family values are important to the older generation. They will fight to the death for a family member and you are always your Mamma's baby.  Of this she will remind you often. Your Daddy is always your hero and protector, no matter the danger.

Your siblings are your worst enemies and best friends. They will be at your side in a moment flat. Then immediately call you out on your bull shit.

And your grandparents are God's gift. As they get older you learn to value time and cherish every moment with them.

I miss my family and the south but I have a family and life of my own in the Pac NW. The south may be my past but it's forever in my heart.

Preparing for change

Sometimes this military life is emotionally draining. I have known for months my husband would be leaving this year. However, as the days and months tick by and the date of departure gets closer, I get more and more sad. I try to hide it but that is epically failing. I am afraid of ruining our time together because I am dreading the future. I am overly sensitive, somewhat grumpy and way to weepy. I nearly cried when someone hit my car at work. I mean seriously, it is just a car. I am listening to sad music or death metal.Neither are typical for me and they are seriously not good choices for the depressed. I don't want to be sad already but I cannot shake this sadness. I don't want him to leave.

Damaged

Damaged

Just to walk away from the unhappiness
Run as far and fast as I can
Leave it all
-the unappreciated tasks
-the lost causes
-the endless advances
Just walk away; be alone; be happy
Cannot take anymore
Scared, Bent, Broken

Kiss in the darkness

 
I know the Devil is real. I have no doubt at all. He reaches into my mind; makes all my happy thoughts turn dark. He turns my happiness into negativity and fear. No matter how hard I try to calm these thoughts they are never far away. Lurking. Hiding. Crouching in the dark crevices of my tormented psyche. I shout. I scream. “You have no business here. My soul is my own. You cannot keep me locked in the darkness of fear. GOOOOOOOOO AWWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!” He merely chuckles and kisses me goodnight.

Raising a teenager

Oh to be the mother of a 13 year old boy. As close as he is to my heart, he still drives me crazy. It seems so hard for him to focus and complete a task. If I redirect him once, I redirect him 10 times while he is doing the same task. It would be so easy to give up and do things myself but it is my responsibility to make sure he can be self sufficient. I will not give up on teaching him. I love him too much.

Snapped

I try to control my anger at all times. I love being funny yet poised. However, this week was so awful...there were a few times I felt like I was one insult or catastrophe away from being the star player in an episode of Snapped!

Benedict Arnolds

Sometimes doing the right thing makes people turn against you. Never be afraid to stand against unethical and illegal behavior. Do not compromise your own standards to make others happy.

I would rather stand alone for what is proper and right than be surrounded and supported by reprobates.

Changes

Many things have happened in my life since I stopped blogging regularly.  I had not realized how much time had passed until last week.  I am going to try to blog regularly again as I found it fun and somewhat therapeutic.  


Since my last entry my husband has completely recovered from his ankle surgery and is working hard to further his military career.  It was a long journey to accomplsh full recovery but I am proud of his accompishemnt.
 
 
 
My son also had surgery on both of his eyes (at the same time) in order to fix some muscle issues.  He no longer has a weak eye and a strong eye.  The doctor made the eye muscles in both eyes exactly the same.  Now the child can literally see straight.
 
 

Also, my husband has legallyadopted my son...now our son.  This was an amazing event for us and we are about to celebrate the one year anniversay of our family becoming official.

 
 
Another great event of the past year is we purchased our first (and hopefully last) house.  It was a stressful event but one that has been well worth the hassle. 


 
 
Hope you enjoyed the rush through the past year of my life!!!  Look for another blog entry coming soon!
