Square

I am tired of doing things that do not add up logically. We do things because it is just the way it is done, the law, or protocol. I have to say I am feeling a bit rebellious. Which is not always the answer. Yet, rebellion led us to the country in which I live today. Not perfect, but a good place to live.

I am tired of society trying to make things work different when they can't. Improvement is always welcome, but not always achieved. Does this mean we stop trying to improve, of course not. It seems that emphasis has been misplaced at times and facts forgotten. For example, FACT: I am not a genius. (shocking to some, other are saying "far from it!") FACT: I can't become a genius. Not even if I surround myself with MENSA and read books all day long. My IQ is what it is and declining everyday. I might be able to improve it a tad here and there, but a genius I will never be. Society has a habit of trying to fit square pegs in a round hole and sometimes that square peg is just a square peg. Can some of us just be SQUARE?

Sometimes things that are made to make things "better", make new problems. Just an observation thrown into my life a lot lately.

To err is human! Yet, some of us are so prideful we forget this. I have learned lately that someone else makes an error and it causes us a lot of back tracking or more work. Sometimes we become a freight train in our furry. I am so glad I had time to react to a letter recieved this weekend that I could do nothing about until Monday. My first reaction was freight train, WAR! My second which proved less stressful for the war in which I engaged was not threatening and actually got me further than I thought. I still might have to do a lot of work on my end, but I see where my tactic worked so much better than freight train. I am in a war and the enemy doesn't even know it!

I recently read The Art of War, maybe my new views are because if this. I am not going to quote it exactly right, but one of the tactics is something along the lines of don't start a war with fire if downwind. Makes perfect sense, but how often are we standing downwind when fire is started? Just some stuff to chew on.

Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook

It has been 24 days since I changed my password and logged off Facebook. I have logged on twice to see if anyone messaged me and logged back off. Which I am glad that I did because someone messaged me about math tutoring. The only thing I missed was if someone had had their baby. I was interested to know and while I tried so hard to stay off Facebook I did search her name just to see if she had the baby. Then I thought if she did have the baby and I don't know then are we really friends?   We are not friends by the true definition, just virtual Facebook friends. Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook 1. Selling of Rodan & Fields, LuLaRue, 31, Ketones or Scentsy.  I like some of these products and support you 100% and hope you do well.  The multiple posts on your product daily but nothing else in your life, blah. 2. Bragging. I love to see pictures of your vacation, if it isn't the only time you are on Facebook. 3. Posting fake news. 4. Making a comment I ...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...

One Word Can Actually Make a Difference

I choose not to work. I do understand that people don't have a choice and have to work outside of the home for a pay check to buy food and shelter.  One parent in my house must work. I also feel some don't really have to work and choose to work for luxury items.  I have talked to people that say there is no way they could be a stay at home parent and choose to go to work. Why do we as parents belittle each other in our choices.  Recently on Facebook (some say a necessary evil, but I think it is just evil) A parent commented   "...for the parent that actually works".  Wow, only one word makes that sentence sting.  I try not to let these words on Facebook hurt me or give them a second thought but I am a wordy person and I think about words.  The sentence takes a different tone if it was written, "for the parent that works".  The word "actually" implies negative things to those that don't work. For the parent that works I understand that a 30 ...
