America- have some common sense...

So there's some craziness going on in America
So some people didn't get what they wanted
So some people want to fight the system

 The outcome of the 2016 election may suck, but we were going to end up with one of these two (actually there were 5 but let's not get into that) people as our President..... so it is done, it has happened.... and now it's time to come together and make the most of it. Please.


I keep seeing people post on how they are terrified or scared 
Well.. what are you scared of exactly? 

 War? Because that's happening.
School shootings? Because that's happening.
Pipeline? That's been happening.
Terrorism? Definitely alive and well.
Going broke due to health insurance? Mm yes.
Corruption throughout the system? Already there.
Police officers being murdered? Yep, that's happening.
Innocent lives being lost? Happens every day
Bullying? Check.
Loss of jobs? We've got that on lock.
Loss of Social Security? That's been on it's way down the drain.
Rising numbers of homeless, welfare recipients, foster kids, gangs, or otherwise 'unwanted' peoples? If you aren't aware of them, you need to make yourself aware.
Being discriminated against for your religion, political views, sexual orientation, race? That's been going on. Doesn't matter who you are- we are all judgmental assholes at some moment or another.
Rape, murder, violence, riots... all going on and has been.

 So tell me, what are you scared of that is not already happening basically everywhere?
This isn't a Trump problem, this is a people problem. 
We all need to reevaluate our own selves.
Maybe America is a little too scared and a little too easily offended.
Quit being scared, sitting around crying, being offended by everything..... step up and do your part as an American, no, as a damn human being. Treat others with respect, help and encourage one another, raise your kids right, be a contributing member of society. Make sure your hands are clean, that's your job. Burning the American flag? Get out of here with that, how about you do your job to make it a better place.
But right now, all I see is hate. It's disturbing, and the ones with the most hate are being exactly what they claim to be against.
Why is all of this stuff just common sense to me? We all need to do our part to make America Great Again, and if you think it's great the way it is you need to open your pretty eyes and see that not everyone has it great. Not your problem? Selfish. Ever seen "Trading Places" ? Great movie. Everyone should watch it. It will make us ALL feel some emotions towards our fellow man.

 Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea...

sensory overload

We soothe ourselves and distract ourselves and, if we can’t even face the demons inside our own brain, how can we be expected to stick something out, to love someone even when it’s not easy to love them? We bail. We leave. We see a limitless world in a way that no generation before us has seen. We can open up a new tab, look at pictures of Portugal, pull out a Visa, and book a plane ticket. We don’t do this, but we CAN. The point is  that we know we can, even if we don’t have the resources to do so. There are always other tantalizing options. Open up Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat and see the lives of others, the life we could have. The life that just looks so much more glamorous, vibrant (thanks, filters), and exciting than ours. See the places we’re not traveling to. See the lives we’re not living. See the people we’re not dating. We bombard ourselves with stimuli, input, input, input, and we wonder why we’re miserable. We wonder why we’re dissatisfied. ...

Gender Reveal

I had told my husband- after being invited to many of them and seeing more than 'a few' on social media - that I didn't want to have a gender reveal. To me, it's stupid. Being invited to one, I'm like "Do we bring a gift?" or "How does this work?" I think that after being pregnant, I have a better grasp on them and a more solid opinion of them. For my first child, we decided to hold off on a few things. We didn't do the 14 week blood test that would 100% tell us the gender, because it would also tell us a slew of other genetic information (such as if it had Downs or other diseases) that we decided was inconsequential. We didn't find out together during the ultrasound at 20 weeks what baby was, we took home an envelope. We didn't even open that envelope together. My husband actually ran inside the house, opened it, and had it tucked away before I got inside. He HAD TO know, I didn't. I was happy with having a healthy baby growing...
