Manic Monday
I love my life but I would like to see what it would have been like to have a more nuclear family. Everything that happened to me then made me what I am not, though, and I wouldn't trade that. (well most of it ;))
Do you think that the world will be a better or a worse place 100 years from now?
WORSE!
At the beginning of a relationship, do you trust your new partner unless there is something specific to make you do otherwise, or do you withhold your trust until he/she has earned it?
I trust too quickly. Always. Need someone to take advantage of and believe your lies?? I am YOUR girl!
Hand Foot And Mouth
Courtney turned 5 in october so unless I paid for private Kindy (read preschool teacher=no way in hell that would happen) she had to wait a year. Now she is the oldest, and due to 2 years of PreK the smartest. I know everyone thinks there kids is THE smartest, and Courtney is by no means a genius, but seriously in her class, after testing, she is the smartest. So her teacher is having issues with her getting bored and doing the other children's work. She is wanting to move on but because alot of children have never had any form of education yet in the in lives they can't. Now she is telling the other kids, "ugh! don't raise your hand if you don't know the answer, and then giving the right answer because they got it wrong. Now I don't need advice on her attitude I am working on whipping errr I mean getting that to stop ;). She cant be rude to people. Period. I just am wondering how to approach the school without looking like THAT parent. By Jan I cant even imagine how bored she will be.
Tomorrow should be getoffyourassandcleanoutyourclosetandotherpilesofshit day but that probably won't happen.
Also a friend of mine is doing this: Bottle race

Real Woman, Real Beauty: Why Our Flaws Are Beautiful
"My gap is sexy!"
-- Michelle Taylor, 32
"I have a 1.5-millimeter gap between my two front teeth. In high school, boy, did I get teased. I insisted my mom take me to the dentist to fix the problem, but the good old man refused. He said he might consider braces in a year or so. But thanks to gap-toothed Madonna, I decided to embrace my imperfection. Now, people on the street often stop me to compliment my smile."
insert witty title here.

Beautiful:Regardless of my weight and size. Doesn't matter if my hair is perfect or my make up is flawless. It makes no difference what I'm wearing or where I am, I'm beautiful.
Intelligent:Regardless of my actions, or my choices. Doesn't matter what I'm thinking or how I'm speaking. I am an educated, bright and insightful woman.
I know these things, I truly believe in my head and my heart. But why then does it feel like I'm constantly seeking approval from everyone? I shouldn't care if I'm getting 5000 text messages a month, or a million friends and it shouldn't bother me when I get ignored. I shouldn't need someone to tell me that I'm beautiful or smart to know that I am.
GAH! What is wrong with me?
Repeat after me... I don't need attention to be happy. I don't need to people to notice me to be attractive. Most of all, I don't need to have men wanting to be sleep with me to be worthy of love.
