Life and Times of the Truly OVERWHELMED

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. -Helen Keller

Here I am venting on my blog again today. It's not that I plan to use my blog as a therapist...it just kind of happens....

Here it is...plain and simple.

I deserve respect!

I am a good person. I treat others with respect. I work hard to take care of the ones that I love. I take care not to say hurtful things, especially to the ones that I love and I care about other people's feelings.

I deserve to have the same treatment.

I want to have the same treatment.

I will not settle for anything less than that kind of treatment.

And if that means I am a diva...then put me up on stage singing R.E.S.P.E.C.T. with Aretha...in a red sequin dress and six inch stiletto heels....




A wise man once said..... "I am who I am because of the things I have gone through. So even though I don't want to go through those things again I am grateful for them."

Give Me Love, Love, Love, Love.... CRAZY Love

"Love is what inspired our Heavenly Father to create our spirits; it is what led our Savior to the Garden of Gethsemane to make Himself a ransom for our sins. Love is the grand motive of the plan of salvation; it is the source of happiness, the ever-renewing spring of healing, the precious fountain of hope. As we extend our hands and hearts toward others in Christlike love, something wonderful happens to us. Our own spirits become healed, more refined, and stronger. We become happier, more peaceful, and more receptive to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit." -Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Just a little note today about love. I read this quote by Dieter F. Uchtdorf and felt inspired. I have a certain teenager right now who is absolutely out of their mind insane and crazy. LOL I'm at a loss as to what to do. This person is rude, dis-obedient, has no respect for their mother, mean, angry.....and ultimately I think sad. Ok...dang it! I am going to love this person better...maybe?.. :-/ Sometimes I wonder...and sometimes I want to throw up my hands and walk away...but that would be weak....wouldn't it??? (Light bulb moment!) So this is why my Mom and Dad have wrinkles and gray hair and many, many other unslightly blemishes and unknown health problems and ailments....and maybe a few ulcers.....I can definitely feel an ulcer coming on!!! Ugh...today when this certain teenager arrives home I am going to give (this person) a good swift kick of LOVE.... ;-) Have you ever heard the quote "A person needs loving the most when they deserve it the least..." whoever wrote this forgot to add... " and when its the hardest dang thing to do because they are acting like a dang spoiled rotten brat and I want to put them out on the front lawn with a "For Sale..Cheap" sign hanging around their neck!!!"

Seacrest out...

p.s. If you don't hear from me for a while....please...please come looking for me!!!! And be afraid....be VERY afraid!!! :-D

p.s.s. Ignore my lack of grammatical correctness....I'm not trying to get graded on this assignment...I don't want to have to go back and proofread...I'm just trying to have fun dang it!!! FUN! :-) heheheheh

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM???

Please...at the writer's request...visit this link and watch the video before reading this blog post! It sets the mood~! :)

Trust can be a very ugly four ( I mean five ;-)) letter word. To trust or not to trust....that is the question! I have found that there are an extremely few people in this world that you can trust. And I'm sorry for my french, but that just plain SUCKS!

My trust has been broken WAY too much in this life...and my guard is up people. I'm standing here, in my fighting stance, with my fists balled up, protecting my face... I'm ready for it...bring it on BABY!

I just need to ask... What is wrong with some people? You think you know someone and then (SLAP IN THE FACE!!!) you find out you know nothing.

I think I am extremely naive. I have always just believed that people are inherently good. That they are just happily engaged in their cause with no ill-will or bad intentions.

Bahahahhahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahahhahahaha.

What the heck was I thinking? Welcome to reality Barbie cause ain't no one loved ya like yo' momma did. ;-)

Get over it already.....( I tell myself)

OK...I'm really not that bittter. I'm just tired of lies, deception, malice, back-stabbing, cheating, stealing, highway robbery, sneaking around, screaming angry people, people who use you for selfish purposes and people who don't care what they do because they don't think you are smart enough to figure it out...Oh and let's not forget ....Murder.. I mean GEEZ..... can't we just all get along???

Ok...maybe just a little bitter.

P.S. I hate drama too. So this WHOLE post really annoys me! LOL

Is there anyone who IS inherently good and honest out there? I'm really, really lonely for that person.....Where are you?

Love and Kisses....Rainbows and Butterflies..
