*EDIT*

Thank You so much to some friends of mine and for talking me out of my whining/crying phase, I will continue to blog. Sometimes life has a way of showing you who real friends are, as it certainly did tonight. Now that I know who those friends are I will not deny them my friendship (as one said) because of a few peoples opinions or allow them to steal my happiness. I enjoy blogging and reading blogs to much to give that up and sulk over a differance of a few misunderstood words.

Let me clear up two things however before I head off to dream land .... first, the "divorce" comment was NOT meant as that I didn't want a teacher teaching our children thathad been divorced, for crying out loud, I have friends that are divorced, but it was that the teacher would come to class and share her tales of her ex with the students .... about what she did to him, about what he did to her, what she was hoping would happen to him, and other mean nasty things. To me, this is something that should be left at home - not shared with the young students, it is not thier buisness and I am sorry that I didn't make that point more clearer, it confused alot of people I guess.

Second, I didn't realize that I sounded so judgemental, but I guess to some I did. I appologize for this, however without correctly wording my words - they are alot of the ways I feel. I cannot change me or my hubby on that. You either like me for me or you don't. Sure some of the hate mail that I recieved hurt and I spent alot of time sulking over it, I am a sensitive person when it comes to how others have treated me and in also how I trust others, but some of the mail was unnessasary and uncalled for. Some people wonder why I dislike others so, and that is probably why. On another note to help clear things up my most intelligent friend Sunshine summed up alot of the ways I was thinking in one of her comments - I guess at that time I just did not have the capacity to do so. Thank You Sunshine.

I have learned alot from this experience in many ways. Alot about myself as well as others. So see, maybe it was a good thing. I mean I lost a couple "friends" ... however I have just made a few new ones already because of it, how neat is that ?

Good night dear friends and thank you so much again for showing me your true colors !!! I love you all for it !!!! God Bless !

*and if being popular meant that kinda life (I mean with people like that - that want to drag you down and demean you etc. sending "hate" mail ...) ... thank the Lord that I wasn't - nor would I ever want to be !!!!!!
