Because I said so

I think we're going to treat this thing like a full time job. I will post every weekday and on the weekends you will just have to miss me... unless I post small things that are on my mind for that day. I don't know yet family, I'm still getting back into the swing of writing on a regular. I must admit that I am enjoying you all, your time and your comments so don't fret, I will return. Have a good weekend. See you on Monday!

I had a nice fluffy, positive post in mind for today, but my positive thoughts were bombarded by negativity that I know will hit home for all of us: liars. I put emphasis on liars and not the actually lie itself because usually it isn't the words that hurt you, it's how the liar said it, what they lied about or the mere fact that they needed to lie in the first place. I'm sure everyone would agree that little white liars aren't that bad. It's when they turn into bald face liars that you start to regret allowing them to lie to you in the first place. The type of liar that will look you square in the eye, with the straighest of faces and lie. The type of liars that won't admit the truth until you catch them dead in the middle of a lie. Them reckless, tasteless, tacky ass liars...

Now people I have said a few times here, on Facebook and on twitter that matching braws and draws are super important to me as it is a reflection of who you are as a person. I have really took some time to sit down and evaluate the severity of the situation and I find that women who care if their finger nails and toe nails are matching would definitely care if their undergarments are matching. That is unless you are a fronter and stunner whose outside appearance is only for catching men when clearly the lack of camaraderie in the undie department shows just how unsuccessful you really are. Now the great pantie and bra debate begins with this question: Do you buy your underwear from Victoria Secret or from Burlington Coat Factory? If you tend to be the Vicky's shopper then you know that a lot of the separates can be mixed and matched, that is if you are not into buying the set initially. If you are a bargain retail shopper then Marshalls, Target and BCF are your best friends with th...

As I slowly inch up in age, the thought of marriage creeps closer and closer to the forefront and being the blunt and inquisitive person that I am, I have come to a clearer understanding as to why men are not just on another page but in a whole different library all together. Before I get into the nitty gritty, let me start by saying that there is a slight difference in younger men and older men until the older man is divorced, then they are once again in the mindset of the young man. This post is strictly based off of the mind of a young man via the mind of a young woman. 5. No peer pressure: There are very few social pressures to get married. No one is buzzing around in the ear of a little boy pressuring him to be a good man when he gets older so he can find and marry a good woman. Women are informed of marriage from the very beginning and are often pressured by their mothers, grandmothers, the old lady from church and even taunted by younger women who have married before them. Since...

Are you down for a reason or just down for the cause? I used to think that leaving a bad relationship was being a quitter and that if I stuck it out I could possibly fix whatever was broken when in reality the best solution to a problem is to eliminate an aspect. Whether that aspect be eliminating something in the relationship or eliminating the relationship entirely... it just has to happen. One has to ask themselves if they are really down for a reason or if are they just down for the cause.

Everyone will always have an opinion about how you should raise your child. I knew this before having mine and I'm going to know it in more detail if I continue to have more children. Last week someone told me not to lay my daughter on her belly to sleep because she could suffocate herself. The week before that someone told me not to lay my daughter on her back because she could choke on her saliva or throw up. I believe both of these statements to be true but you have to choose one, so which one do you choose? What's even more irritating is when you have different child rearing tactics than your significant other. It can be so frustrating to want to please someone by doing it their way when you know good and darn well your way is better. Sometimes you just have to let the baby cry their ears off before they would ever listen to your suggestion or just say to hell with it and take you, your beliefs and your baby elsewhere. "Take that, take that," I say in my Diddy voi...

If the good Lord didn't bless me with such a beautiful and healthy baby I would still be one of those hard-asses who despises parents that spoil their children and snarl at the sight of a child throwing a temper tantrum in public. But, as I come to you tonight, typing this very post with one hand because my spoiled baby is in my other hand, I sadly admit that I finally understand the saying "It's different when it's your own." Although I would never intentionally harm my God son or any of my siblings for that matter, I have to admit, I have been a little hard on them simply because I hate bad kids and I would (normally) do anything to make them strong and selective in their reason for crying. But now as I am going into my 10th week of being a first time mother to an uber spoiled baby girl, I can't imagine punishing my child with my strict beliefs simply because her father and I have spoiled her. In my defense though, the doctor said "breastfed babies tend...
