This is my place to rant, get up on a soap box and express other various opinions that come to my mind. *Please note OPINIONS, I'm entitled to mine as you are to your own.

Time randomness
I was having a rather long conversation with one of my oldest friends today and I caught myself during the conversation thinking about dates in terms of before kids, after the first was born., before/after my middle was born, before/after the youngest was born , and I realized that is how I remember anything. Is it sad that the only means of remembering a timeline is based on the birth of my children? Probably but it's the best most accurate method I've got.

Eating Sh..
Do you ever get tired of eating sh*t? I know I do. Being a grown up sucks major arse, taking the high road instead of blatantly speaking your mind. I don't know if this being mature thing is really all it's cracked up to be. I know I have control issues, but a lot of those control issues are also common sense issues, and it really seems to be lacking today.
Professionalism on the work front is not all it's cracked up to be, it requires you to hold your tongue, stay neutral and not get ahead of yourself when really you see the big f-ing problems as clear as day and can see the solution potentials to those problems but it's well above your pay grade/ position to even be listened to let alone accepted. BLOWS, eating that kind of sh*t because really your only go is to see things improved and maybe by proxy improve your own situation as well.
What I want to say is....
- Hey, what you are doing is clearly not working because your overlooking the big ass elephant in the room and it's about as useful putting a band aid on a missing limb.
- Hello?!! A little stepping outside of the box and not being terrified of the big bad world around you and might be a good idea. Hey and maybe, I don't know stepping into the current times technologically could benefit you, it's not 1988 anymore!
- Um, imagine that for one second you treated the employee's as individuals instead of avoiding having to actually confront the douche canoes causing problems and laying blanket, antiquated, and stupid ass rules across the board.(did i mention its bad for employee morale)
- OMG! Here's a thought!! How about you actually look into something that's been suggested on your own or have your assistants do that for you rather than immediately taking the word of someone who is completely guilty of being terrified by anything new.
That's rant enough for now before I say something that may be used against me. In the meantime, I will be thankful for the baby steps because without those I'd lose my damn mind.

New Year Resolutions
This year I resolve to not
make resolutions I cannot possibly live up to in a realistically. Clearly I cannot resolve to become financially
free of all debt in just 12 months; there are other things at work there. I can
however resolve that I will work harder at saving, cut unnecessary spending,
and live more frugally. The likelihood
that I will end all of my bad habits are about as likely that I will hit the
lotto tomorrow, so this year I will refrain from resolving to do so.
I am resolving this year to
recognize when to be more humble and just as importantly to acknowledge myself when
I should. I will work on not dismissing myself or my efforts as “no problem”
when in fact they are but I will also not assume that I am more important than
I am, in essence I am going to seek balance. I am also going to work on
thinking more deeply before I speak, as I have a habit of sticking my foot in
my mouth. I am rather opinionated and have been known to make snap judgments
only to later discover that I may have not had all the pertinent information at
hand.
I am as most of us are a work in progress, so
rather than claiming I will become this completely transformed person this
year, I will work on just being a slightly better version on myself now. I do
however resolve to find more happiness in each and every day. I resolve to play
more with my children as they are growing fast and soon they will not desire my
attention. I resolve to look at my husband frequently, I mean really look at
him, see the man I love and hope that he truly sees me in return. These are resolutions I truly hope I can live
up to in the year 2013.
Let me also add to that~ I will work on putting value into things that are worthy, and in doing so not waste my time on the things that bring no value to my family, life, or happiness.
