Hey everyone... I'm excited that you are considering to view my blog. I won't be able to say that it will suit everyone, but I can guess a lot of you will know where i'm coming from. I was a 32 year old mother of two girls. A southern lady. I was super busy, family, marriage, church, softball, cheerleading, a high paying job for this area. Go Go Go! That was my motto. And then... WHAM, something devestating happened in my life. I had been a border line diabetic since I was a child, but I really didn't pay that much attention to it. You know how it goes, life can take you for a ride. My diabetes spiralled out of control and so did everything else. I'm now 37. I had to quit to my job and was told by my doctors that driving a car was out of the picture for awhile, since I could pass out at any time. I got a divorce (we all know how that can be). I went from a high end income to pretty much nothing. I have to take medication several times a day, diet and exercise are recommended. At first anxiety and depression ruled the day. But this blog isn't about all that... It's about what you do AFTER your life falls apart. It's about making changes you don't want to make. It's about living a different life than what you're used to. Life is what you make it and i've decided to quit feeling sorry for myself and make it pretty darn good!!

Join me here and we'll see how it goes...

Are you sure you know what that "word" means?

Well we certainly had interesting night on Sunday. My two daughters when to youth meeting at church. My sister's husband is the pastor and they usually come pick them up and take them for me. Well, lo and behold my youngest daughter got in trouble. LOL which is not necessairly unusual for her. It was the circumstances that got me. Apparently my sister's son had been giving her a bit of a hard time and she obviously was trying to get back at him, but when she did, she had no idea what a stir it would cause. She started calling him "gay". OHHH BOOOOY! Funny thing is she didn't even know what the world meant. She had only heard others at school say it before and it seemed to bother whoever they said it to. My sister being the 'wonderful and nuturing' person she is (sarcasm is dripping from these keys) was not very nice in addressing the problem. Needless to say how do you punish a child for doing something she doesn't even know is wrong? Any opinnions are worthy. Let me know what you think and i'll let you know what I decided to do....

Well you don't have to punish her for the word she chose just punish her for name calling and then try to explain to her the definition of the word or how name calling is hurtful and mean lol!!!
