Insperational Wednesday.

I love photography. I take so many pictures. So, so many. So every wednesday I'm taking a photo or finding a photo that inspires me for the day. Unfortunately from my iPhone I can't put pictures on here. Starting September I will be taking part in inspirational Wednesdays!

What my Monday Dare *should* be.

My name is _______ & I have a serious problem. I actually hate someone. Now anyone would tell you I don't like many people. I'm picky. People who don't call back, not cool- people who lie, not going to happen- people who date stupid people, no way! Okay, here's my problem; my best friend in the whole wide world is dating a stupid. When I say stupid I don't mean can't figure out where babies come from I mean can't figure out what he wants from McDonalds stupid. And of course with every stupid comes the reason why, he's a dead beat. I can deal with the homeless, I may even help, but do I think my friend should date one? Absolutely not. My friend made a very dumb decision herself, she got pregnant with that stupid & now all I hear about is how he's not providing for his daughter. I'm pretty sure stupid is contagious these days because my friend got it. I think. I mean, bad. She went to file child support (she lives with her mother) & instead of claiming every thing it takes to take care of her baby, she only claimed the things she pays for. Well that's easy, she's unemployed. Her mom is paying for everything but she refuses to claim it because she doesn't want to "Fu*k him over when he is trying to get his life together". Say what? He's trying to get his life together? Oh joy! Let's cut the demon bastard some slack. I turned my head & shut my mouth when she said he joined the army. I even smiled politely when she said he would be front line. I just about sh*t my pants when she said he got a job at McDonalds. Problem with the McDonalds job is I'm pretty sure that means he's living with her & her mom & two it means he is no longer in the army. This is not a good day for their child.

It's time I start my own "Monday dare"'s.

Now if I knew how to use this blog better on my iPhone I would give Elizabeth proper credit. But for now this will have to do. Elizabeth from Flourish in Progress http://www.flourishinprogress.com has a project. 1) no shopping for a year. She's insane, I know. 2) she does Monday dares. Every monday she does something, or tries to do something & blogs about this experience. I love this idea. So, I'm being a thief & stealing it.

I need to make a list of things for these Mondays to come but it will happen. It may be crazy, I may get hurt, but dammit, I will try! Conveniently yesterday was Monday, coincidence? I think not. I have a super smart brain, afterall.

I thought about choosing Tuesday's as dare days but I like something to look forward to on Mondays! Makes for a better week.

Tomorrow is my first day back to work in almost a year, that's huge & I'm pumped. Okay, I'm a little nervous... Okay, a LOT nervous but I'm excited too.

The Magnets on the Fridge Don't Spell the Alphabet Mommy.

My life is constantly changing. New job, new life, new finds, new deals. It's a lot to take in some times. I'm a little worried about moving, it's definitely not my favorite pass time. Have any of you shoved your entire life into a truck or trailer? It can be a little demeaning. It makes me realize how much I don't have & how much I do. Also it helps keep me level headed. The things I really care about in life will never end up in the truck or trailer, they end up riding in the car with me.
My husband & I just told the people we're living with we're moving... & where. Mostly they seemed happy to see us trying to venture out. I think my mom was a little disappointed that we would no longer be there but I think she also understands that they are losing the house we're all living in & we had to find security, fast. My aunt on the other hand was not soo happy. She was trying to move in there also. Of course this was not brought to our attention until we were already committed to living there. She seemed seems upset & I feel bad. She thinks she will have no where to go now. But they were never going to let her move in there any way. Of course I still feel like the bad guy. But WHY?
