What can you do?

I look at my life and think to myself "Wow. I have a great life. How could I ever complain about all of the many blessings that God has given me?" I have a wonderful husband who loves me for me. He doesn't try to change anything about me (and believe me, there is LOTS I would change about me). I have a wonderful son who loves to learn about any and everything and adores his parents (for now at least ;) ). My daughter is amazing, smart and...I just can't find the words to describe her, she is just amazing. I have a wonderful church family. I mean, these are just a few, A FEW, of the many blessings I have in my life. How can people sit on their butts and take life for granted?

I say this because all around me I hear people complain about their lives and how hard they have it. And once they have complained enough about their life, they move on to someone else's life and complain about theirs. This is something that just baffles me! Who cares if that woman chose not to wear make-up today? I don't wear make up every single day and guess what? My day goes on just fine. My husband still loves me. My husband still thinks I am beautiful. I don't have the fear that just because I don't wear make up my husband will run to the arms of another woman. Get real please.

Who cares if this person chooses to be a SAHM? It is their choice! Are they asking you to pay their bills? Are they asking you to watch or raise their children? Are they asking you for anything? Even your opinion? Then back off. I chose to be a SAHM and guess what? My life is going just fine. My kids are great and guess what ? My husband doesn't think that I am a moocher. You know why? Because we have a great marriage with a great foundation. We both understand that their is no "this is yours and this is mine" (unless it comes down to chips...he knows that the Hot Cheetos are MINE!). He is the provider of our family and he loves it. He takes care of me and the kids just as much as I take care of him and the kids.

Who cares if they choose to spend their money on a new car! Guess what? They earned that paycheck. They aren't coming to you to pick up their bill every month. Are they asking you to co sign for them? Are they asking you to pay for their gas? I am sure that they have budgeted their money well enough to make sure their bases are covered. So back off.

Who cares if she is pregnant with her fourth, fifth, sixth, or even seventh child! They are not asking anything of you. So they want a bigger family. Good for them and may they have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery.

Oh dear, another thing that just irks me like crazy - how are you going to sit there and tell me that you know my husband better than I do? Are you stalking my husband ? Is that how you know his every move of every single day? Are you a mind reader? Is that how you know what he is thinking? So your husband has his faults (as with everyone else on earth). You chose to ignore them and/or accept them. Why do you care so much about my marriage? Could it be that you are jealous that my husband and I have an amazing relationship? That our marriage is based on our faith and values ? Guess what? My marriage is doing just fine and just because your husband chooses to be unfaithful, doesn't mean that mine is doing the same. So go work on your marriage and leave mine alone.

Who all of a sudden made you queen of the universe? Does every decision that people make have to come through you for approval? Do people now have to ask you your permission and opinion before they do something? If that is the world that you live in, then keep on dreaming. Maybe you should take a look into your life and see where you can make improvements. And then start thanking God for all of the blessings that you have in your life. Stop getting so consumed in other people's lives that you lose sight of what is really important.

It makes me sick to see grown women (and yes, 99% of the time, it is WOMEN) act so childish! These are the women that will be raising the generations of tomorrow. Aye yi yi... Chris tells me to not let all of this nonsense get to me, but I just can't help it. Grown people bullying others. Disgusting. Oh and I guess I should add this - if this offends you in any way, then this is probably geared towards you, oh mighty queen of the universe ;)

I pray for all of you.
