This Here Blog

Most of you probably didn't notice, but a couple of weeks ago, a Trolly person with nothing better to do on Father's Day came and left a few Trolly Comments on This Here Blog.

I refused to engage in any back and forth with said Trolly person; I simply deleted the comments and enabled comment moderation for the time being until said Trolly person gets a life (oh, I can only dream....).

But I did want to address a couple of things here on This Here Blog.

Is everything that Trolly person said true?  Hell No.
Am I going through some major shit in my life right now?  Hell Yes.
Am I going to blog about every detail here on This Here Blog?  Hell to the NO.

You see, This Here Blog is MY blog.  I can blog about whatever I want to on here.  What I DO post is the truth, but that doesn't mean I have to tell every single detail of my life.  (I just farted - must I blog that??)

Apparently I have an online fantasy life here on This Here Blog, and I wanted to apologize if all the luxury and glamour of my fantasy life have caused any of you to be jealous.  Please don't hate me because of my incredibly fantabulous existence that I portray here on This Here Blog. I still love you little people, even if you'll never reach my level of awesome.  You can at least visit my blog and attempt to absorb some of my amazingness.  You're welcome.

(in the interest of full disclosure - I JUST BURPED.  'Scuse me.)

I don't expect you to blog about that fight you had with your husband.  It's ok if you don't tell everyone that you fell off your diet HARD and ate the whole pan of brownies.  It's ok if you don't want to share that you accidentally forgot to pick your kid up from soccer practice and the coach had to call you and you felt like a real douche.  Or that time when you drank too much wine at your neighbor's cookout and puked in her azalea bushes (yes, I did see that.).

Because on your blog, you post what you want.  On This Here Blog, I will post what I want.


And that's all I have to say about that!

We're Going to be Okay

My kids and I.  We're going to be okay.
We're going to be okay because we are strong and we are resilient.
We don't much care what other people think.
What makes us happy goes beyond what people think SHOULD make us happy.
We dance to our own beat.
Even when circumstances are not what most people consider ideal, we are still okay.
Even when circumstances SUCK, we are alright.
We understand what truly matters in life.
We make the best of what we do have.
When life is difficult, we don't give up.  We don't feel sorry for ourselves and mope around.  We may scream or cry or curl up in bed.  But WE GET UP.  And we keep going.  We fight for what we want. And we know that regardless of the outcome, we will be okay.
Because we have each other, and we love each other.  And when you have a love like that, you will be okay.
Nobody can take that away from you.

Closing Time

Fragging Time, one last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer. 
Fragging Time, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here....

~* Thanks for your thoughts/prayers/etc. for my Mom, Dysfunctional Nanny.  This week's visit was more about questions than answers.  Basically, she's so healthy that they can't figure out what's wrong with her.  She has some unusual levels in her blood and they just can't figure out why.  They've sent off more blood for further testing and may be doing a bone marrow biopsy on the next visit, which is in two weeks.  I'll keep y'all posted.  (my mother is VERY old-school and distrusting of the internet, so I don't want to go into minute detail here for the sake of her privacy.)

~* The CNA Appreciation Day was absolutely fabulous.  The massage...I have no words.  OK I do, but they're NSFW.  My massage therapist was a large man who goes by the name of T-Rex. Need I say more? I am currently accepting donations to the Dysfunctional Mom Needs a Weekly Massage Fund.
There were also manis, pedis, eyebrow waxes, makeovers, prizes (I won a $25 Gift Card to a scrub shop!), fantastic food, and a beading table where I made some adorable earrings. And more that I can't remember.  It was really a wonderful event and I thoroughly enjoyed the pampering!

~* Have you ever had a blog friend disappear?  You read their blog faithfully, and then one day they suddenly stop posting?  That's happened in recent months with two of my favorite bloggers.  I emailed them both; no response.  I'm worried.  If y'all are out there....I miss you.  Call Me Maybe???

~* Last night my best friend Danielle kidnapped me and took me to a drag club.  We'd been before, it's a really fun place.  I wasn't planning to go out last night (and haven't been out in forever), but I'm so glad we did!  It's always a blast with her.

Have a great weekend, friends!


Closing time, time for you to go out to the places you will be from. 
Closing time, this room won't be open 'til your brothers or you sisters come. 
So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits, I hope you have found a friend. 
Closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
