When you get a card....

June 21st 2009 19:49
Why is everyone so stuck on showing expressions of love.
The whole card industry is made up of making someone feel better, about whatever situation they are going through, exaggerating an emotion just to them to bring a smile to someone’s face. But there are cards so over the top with opposite emotion, that the person receiving it knows you’re lying to them. Unless, they are completely clueless! The lady that slept her way to the top, and the whole office knows about. Would most likely snicker if she received a card about what hard work and effort she put in to get her new position.

But why not tell the truth! I mean wouldn’t you like to give your best friend a card that expresses all of the REAL feelings you have about them! Such as “Hey we’ve been friends for quite a while, and while I love you, I can no longer lend you money, you never pay me back before asking me for more and then shorting me my money all the while showing the brand new furniture you purchased for your house! Who does that? You do and that is why I love but I can’t lend you money! Happy Graduation! Or even better for all of my fellow single moms who are doing it completely alone and are grateful if the can find him. They should send their child’s father a card (along with the kid’s, OF COURSE) that says “Happy Father’s Day! I just want to thank you for leaving me with your child/children and providing absolutely nothing to the upbringing of your child/children! I can’t wait until they get older and successful and totally ignore your ignorant ass, hopefully kick it too! Or even better if I have raised felons, they will use your address when they come home from jail! But either way I just wanted to thank you for taking NO time out of your busy life and showing our kids that even when you get older you can still be childish! Now that is, complete honesty, and if the other party gets offended then maybe THEY should, perhaps rethink their behavior, which made them receive that card in the first place!

Imagine if when you were younger, someone told you that you would go to work full time, working a job that you absolutely enjoyed doing or dreaded going to everyday (depending on where you work) then when you got off, you would work another full time job consisting of various obligations, that would offer no money, vacation/sick time, or benefits. You would say Hell No and run in the opposite direction so quickly!

Then you woke up one morning and realized you are doing that exact thing! When did I get here and how do I go back? You would kill for a time machine to go back and warn yourself of the peril your social life and personal time would suffer.

Well I living this exact thing and wonder how did I luck up and get a man who cares nothing about the well being of my his kids. I mean WTF who does that? Yeah, yeah I can hear you saying what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Who wants to be strong all the time, that is the reason why it takes two to create, because it takes to two to raise them.

So what makes us single moms keep going? Get up everyday and hustle to put food on the table? Be there for not only the kids but everyone else? Give up so much of us that we forget we were once women with goals to live our lives to the fullest! I'll tell you! We know that kids don't stay that way forever and will grow up and out of our homes. That ultimately with hard work; whether it be school, a challenging career, a stay at home that makes her money in the home, or whatever it is we do, we will have had the full package, kids and family and as we get older and they do too, our efforts will make us fabulous! We will look back and see were all our efforts and hardwork have not only made our kids who they are but have enriched our lives as well.

It's just right now... raising kids alone SUCKS!!!

This blog is about an overwhelmed single mother with three kids. I am trying to raise them alone and not kill them in the process. I am working more jobs than I have paychecks for in the home, and trying to make ends meet in the world. I am trying to find ways to make multiple income, while playing mommy and daddy! I need to raise these crumbsnatchers to maturity so that my life can truly begin. I do love my kids but am not a big fan of kids. I love to make light of any situation as humor is a great thing to be addicted to! I am trying to find a way to use my voice to do commercials, webisodes, podcasts, you name it! I also want to be on the back end of entertainment; writing comedy, humor, articles, blogs, comments about crazy things I have seen on T.V/Internet, whatever. I just want to get in where I fit inYour text goes here
