Well, my day started good ... but OK ... I must have just been wearing a stupid sign that said "please come aggrevate me today " ... boyyyyyyyy, cuz today sure was the day ! I had planned earlier in the day to do a funny blog today, but instead - I find myself needing to vent because of some mysterious e-mail that just ruined my all tooo fine mood to do the funny posting for the day ...
It all started with an email of about 150 ?'s that I recieved this morning from my sister in law ... now, the e-mail was in majority about my being pregnant with our 5th child and us deciding NOT to tell anyone .....gee - hmmm ... can't figure out WHY we would DO that now ?!?!?!?!?!?! Anyway ... after the 150 ?'s - came a lecture persay; so I had to phone my husband with the news about his brothers wife and what she had to say and that I was sure that OUR joyous news was now splattered all over the whole of Northwest Indiana and most likely Chicago as well.
So Adam then phones his mother who informs him that I was the one who sent an e-mail to her stating of our news (I did not) and that we had no buisness having more children being that we cannot have healthy children (that they are retarted) nor appearanlty feed the ones that we have, clothe them or give them the best things that life has to offer . As she went on, she stated that MY children told her that they are never allowed to drink milk or eat anything and that I make them starve, wear next to nothing and go no where or do anything ..... oh that is SOOOO friggin' funny let me tell you ! Let's see, we live 3 hours from Chicago atleast givin' traffic and NW Indiana on a good traffic day is about 4-5 hours ...so I would just love to know HOW my kids told her all of this and when it was that they told her ....I swear ! I am sooooo infuriated about this and cannot believe that in my mind I even came close to contemplating moving back around this woman ..... crap, maybe Wisconsin is better ....
God, why must people feel the need to mind OUR buisness or tell us HOW to live our lives and WHY, oh why - must I have a mother in law or family for that matter - that is this way ????? Hmmmm, still wonder WHY we didn't say anything ..... GEE, lemme think ! So, ok .... now let's do a turn around here of how I see things. When my husband and I first got married 16 years ago WE decided together that we did not believe in birth control of any form - that it should be up to the Lord as to whether or not he wanted to give us more gifts or not and we also both decided that it was my place to stay in the home as thier mother and not to pay other people to raise the kids that we had. SOOOO . here we are, having four kids, been married since I was 16 (he 19) to the same guy (girl) and all the kids are ours ... my husband has a good paying job, we own our own home and cars, no I don't work, but I LOVE staying at home, my kids have ALWAYS had a finatically clean house - name brand clothes and shoes, they have alot other kids don't and go on vacation 1-2 times a year ... they are not deprived and are not kids from Africa starving .... they have never had to depend on others for anything and furthermore whose buisness is it if we want to add another or leave it up to the lord as to how many he wants to bless us with. .....
Sure, I will tell you up close that I DO NOT let my kids run the house, they do not get to eat snacks 24/7 and I make then eat good things and they are not allowed to have soda's .... I do not allow my kids to sit in front of the TV or video games and I insist that they get good grades and we choose if it is ok to whom they can be allowed to hang around .... my kids are into sports and Jordan works .... I may never be able to just go to Best Buy and just drop 200 hundred for iPod's or cell phones but that is a choice we CHOOSE ! I do try to have my kids learn the value of a dollar and work for things, they are or have never been handed things. I am sorry if "so and so" is jealous of the fact I do stay at home perhaps, but hello, last I checked it is my choice and I CAN make that choice if I want to ! I do not see the need to work and work and work so that the neighbors think we have the best things or are the "coolest" people around ... so news flash here folks if that is what U are looking for - that is not me/ us ! LIFE has MORE to offer than just STUFF !
~~~~~~~~~~~ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (big sigh) ... OKay ... I'm sorry I just had to get that off my chest somehow before I exploded ... I am usually not so ventable, but some people really tick me off even though I really do not know why I let them bother me, I wish that our news made people happy - I mean we are ALL happy ..... but somehow WHY then does it still matter .?!?.
Well ... enough , I don't want to depress everyone ... so, I am going to go for now ...I just had to vent ! I sure hope that all of you are having a good day ~ TAMMIE
