In the long run, it doesn't matter. But I have had a cruddy week. In the back of my mind I have told myself to revisit the events later to see how they helped me grow...but while in the midst of this fun its a bit hard to see. I don't think it would help anyone if I listed all of the tree leaves that fell this week, so I wont. All of my kids remain healthy even though fall/winter is knocking on our door. I will keep that in mind.
Question.. facebook...do you use it? I don't ......and presume it will stay that way. One of my unfortunate events this week, backed in to a slightly loony bin persons PARKED car. Details aside, this person decided to rant about me on her Facebook page.Her rant spewed many untruths about me. One of my work associates brought this to my attention. Since I work in the same building as said ranter, I KINDLY, calmly asked her to stop publishing untruths about me with my name. She apologized and said she would remove it. Then the tears started flowing. I heard all about her bad month, I suppose. Any sliver of anger that I held vanished. However, I still kept in mind that more than likely she would not remove my name from her facebook and may even add more untruths to it.
Totally hate confrontation. But, I have the right to ask someone to not do something that makes me upset. I was worried about talking to the ranter in fear of making the situation worse. I haven't heard any more. But that isn't good. Before I spoke with the ranter I thought what is the best way to be a good Catholic and handle this? I ultimately decided, just because I am Catholic don't mean I allow myslef to be walked on or treated unfairly. What I mean by that is, often these confrontations can be heated or even turn hateful. How is that being Christan? I kept my cool , tried to see God in her eyes and its done.
My kids are indulging in 3 bowls of icing and tons of candy. They are making a Halloween candy house. I thought I would let them do the icing themselves this year. It is a messy mess. Upset stomachs to follow. My little boy has eaten most of his bowl of icing. Not much candy on the house :) My big boy is reminding the little ones that their tummies will be a hurtn' if they keep eating the way they do.
Tonight the boys have Taekowndo. Its my sisters 26th birthday today. I am a pickle mad at her because she has not returned my calls.... she its too busy with school. Understood, but she lives 3 hours away, she could be a story on Dateline and I wouldn't know it. Ugh, kids.
My kids want " Dance Star Mickey" ...Too bad we already have bouncy tigger, dancing broby, skate/singing ming ming, Elmo live, chiken dance elmo, and tickle me elmo. Sorry kids no more freaky talking bouncing things that you do not play with for more than 5 minutes total.
This morning my kids and I said a family rosary. They all had their rosaries that I bought from the Clay rosary girl. My 5 year old did great. The 3 year old twins, did get bored. But they sat,listened, played and said the prayers. Not as intently as my oldest though. It was a great way to start the day.
My hubby will be home from work soon. I have to get a movin to make the house look like I did something on my day off.
Have a blessed weekend!
