How you continue to stay positive is a mystery to me. You need to smack karma as it seems to be stuck on you. Maybe it will reboot.

Things could be much worse. And I'm a stubborn b****. If the world wants to dump on me then bring it on. I'll chew up, spit out, and stomp on anything it has to throw at me...just to prove that I CAN!

 

[Birds Away]

I have no doubt of that. You set a great example for your girls.

 

[RedneckReject]

It also helps that I've lived under a bridge and been starving before. This is nothing compared to that!

 

[Birds Away]

I used to be a stubborn SOB. I think the last woman that came through here actually broke me. Not the same person anymore.

 

[RedneckReject]

I have no doubt of that. You set a great example for your girls.

BINGO!!!!! I hope to pass this attitude on to them. My mother did it for me and I pray I can do it for them. That's one of the most important lessons I ever learned. And I still don't know if she did it intentionally or not but it worked either way

 

[Birds Away]

She must be quite a lady.

 

[RedneckReject]

She's amazing. The most amazing woman I know.....with the exception of my granny. SHE was a gem! I could have been a 2 dollar whore and she wouldn't have judged me for it.

 

[Birds Away]

Sounds like you had some pretty awesome role models.

 

[RedneckReject]

I did. And the best I can hope for is to be the same for my kids. If I accomplish that then I will be happy

 

[Birds Away]

Sounds like you're on the right track.

 

[RedneckReject]

Well we shall see!! I'm nowhere near the kind of mother that I had!

 

[Birds Away]

I doubt that.

 

[Birds Away]

You seem to have a pretty good grip on what's actually important in life. That's all that really matters.

 

[RedneckReject]

Time will tell. I figure as long as I do the best I can then I'm ok. Don't get me wrong, my mother was a little nuts when I was a kid. My sisters and I were dropped off at an orphanage once for acting up in the car (she and my dad came back like 5 minutes later), she kept a diaper pin in the sun visor of the car to stab us when we were being bad, she was STRICT! But what I remember the most was love. It was her way of discipline. And I learned very quickly that if I listened to her she would shower me with tons of love. Looking back I had a great childhood. I miss it very much

 

[Birds Away]

I guess my childhood was a little too sheltered. I wasn't prepared for all of the people I would meet who had little good in them.

 

[RedneckReject]

I think my parents tried to shelter me a bit. Once I hit my teenage years I went wild. Snuck out all the time, did drugs, ended up pregnant. But those mistakes combined with what my mother taught me as a young'un helped me discover who I am and who I want to be. The person who has never made a mistake has never made a discovery. We learn from our screw ups.

 

[RedneckReject]

And most everyone has SOME good in them. We just have to learn to see it. And we also have to learn to see the bad as well

 

[Birds Away]

True. But it took me 50 years to realize that all people aren't necessarily good deep down inside. Some are just evil.


Funny, I say that and I still don't really believe it.

 

[Birds Away]

My ex-GF has started showing up again "jjust to hang out". What's up with that?

 

[RedneckReject]

Sadly you're right. I married one of them. Then I married another one who wasn't necessarily evil but was definitely misguided. I'm hoping this one turns out better Maybe there's a reason I didn't marry this one yet after all this time. I don't wanna f*** it up!!!
