I don't know what's gotten into me lately...

But I've been very close to UNLEASHING a couple of times lately. Snarky is not my nature. Happy and with a strong desire to make sure everyone feels loved and important... THAT is my nature... So what is up with me lately? I'd give more details, but I like you guys and I don't want you to think I'm horrid for feeling the way I have been lately.

  1. It must be the moon, it seems everyone is a little on edge these days. Including me, just wait I am unleashing tomorrow on my blog for what customer service we received tonight for brooklyn's bday...
    I think this world is going to unleash very soon for those of us who can't take the dumbness any longer
    Ohh, I wish we had a basement to escape to when that happens

  2. The font is kinda light, but it doesn't bother me. But, I guess it would be frustrating if it was too light for someone.
    Amy- yet another reason I should finish cleaning out the basement!
    One time when my husband was growing up, their basement flooded so badly that he & his brother literally went swimming in it. At least until his parents caught them & made them get out because electric wires were immersed in the water. This story has nothing to do with anything. Although, it is another reason to clean out my basement. All that crap down there would be hard to deal with if it was floating. (Right before Christmas every year, I start to panic a little about too much stuff crowding me out.)
    OK, back to the original post. I understand about feeling out of character. It happens. Sometimes, I just unleash around here & my kids' eyes pop open & stare.

  3. Thanks girls. I'm feeling much more gracious than I was earlier. Glad I didn't let all the ugly out!

  4. It's kind of funny the spectrum of people one gets to know in the blogosphere. Here you're feeling bad about feeling snarky, while I know several who relish in the snark.

  5. Around here we call it coming unglued, as in falling apart. I see it as self-preservation. If I'm happy and easy-going all the time they start taking advantage of it. It's good to let it out once in awhile.

  6. Okie dokie! I got the ink changed here. Feel free to jump in and play with it a bit more. This was the darkest color that we were offered, there wasn't a black or a charcoal. I'm sure some of you are better at figuring it all out than I am, and could probably find more selection to choose from or make a custom color.

  7. Blossom you do not always have to take it like a good girl, especially when it involves your children. Remember you are an example for your children. Another way to think about it is how would you tell your daughter or son to handle it. Would you tell them to always turn the cheek or should they stick up for themselves in certain instances. In the end you have to be happy with how you handled it.

  8. You are so right, Alaina! I decided since swim is not a safety issue *yet*, that I will let it be. (For now, anyway.) I feel like our options are to quit, speak up and then take the heat (and there will be heat, maybe even directed toward Jack), or to just keep plugging away at it and hope the situation improves... At least until the next parent meeting. I'm not the only parent upset about it, so I think it will be rectified one way or another.

    Honestly, living with the guilt of hurting someone's feelings just isn't worth it to me. I hate feeling like a snarky punk!

  9. It's like in "you've Got Mail". Remember? Meg Ryan says she wishes she could come up with a "zinger" to say to rude people and Tom Hanks tells her she would regret it. She eventually does it to him, and regrets it. Some of us just can't do snarky!

  10. I think you just need a couple of glasses of Christmas cheer and quality time with cow.
    If that doesn't work a few episodes of Snapped will either bring you back to your sweet self or instruct you how not to get caught. Embrace your inner snark.

  11. You're right. Cow did come in by 7 last night, and took us out to eat and to see Christmas lights (his idea) and it does feel good to see him. He's spending time here this weekend, the boys have been hauling off trash left from having the house painted this morning and then i think they are off to hunt. I'm sure Millie will get some special time with him this weekend too.

    I've never heard of snapped.... I'm off to google it now!

  12. Hey Blossom! dont feel so bad... I am really spazed out this week and a trip to my home town on the weekend saw me at the hospital hooked up to hear monitors with my heart racing out of control for 5 hrs......they after my ferry ride home I totally freaked out on my kid and yelled so loud it hurt her ears, and because i said if she did not like the rules she could leave and then I went to bed for a nap and got up to a note that said she was gone..........she thought I literally kicked her out.....don't feel bad... I am flying off my rocker over here in a big way. and a little Xanax or Zanax goes along way....
