I have so many opinions and so little time.

Shooting the Messenger

Question: If you see your best friend’s husband makin’ out with some chick should you tell her? I confronted him about it and he says he is going to change but still…

Answer: How best is your best friend? Chances are if you tell her you are blowing the lid off their marriage. If it back fires she will hate you for ruining everything. Especially if he just had a one time screw up. That does happen. Every day. People run around messing up their lives. I think I would keep my yapper shut and keep my eye on husband. Nail him if he screws up again.

Making a Wrong Decision…Again

My uber liberal heart has a secret to divulge. I love listening to Dr. Laura and for the most part I think she is right about children. Too many of us do not put children first and currently I am in the same position. Getting myself into predicaments where I do to much seems to be my thing. Right now I am working about twenty hours a week and now my baby sitter has left us. My children are being taken everywhere with me and it has ruined their schedule, the impact on them has really taken a toll on our family. I know the husband is not cool with this and I am in complete agreement. What started as a way to keep me involved in gymnastics while getting out of the house has turned into a hassle. But now the commitments have been made. In a basic Catch 22, I am screwing up a schedule if I quit and messing up the babies if I don’t. What’s a girl to do? Obviously I should have thought a lot harder about the ramifications of me working so much. Yeah duh to me. But really how can we be assured the choice we make is the right one. This really smart guy told me one time that “you know right away when you make a wrong decision but it takes awhile to know if you made a right one”. I use this as my daily mantra right now. How many of you have found yourself backed into a corner and it is your own fault???

Unhealthy

Dear Andrea,
What do you consider a healthy amount of time to hold a grudge or a torch for someone (or both).
Sincerely,
Can’t get over it
Dearest Over it:
What did this person do to you or mean to you? It they stole your boyfriend/husband and set your house on fire you should probably hold a grudge forever. That is some serious stuff. I think we hold grudges because we are scared to move on. When you are faced with letting go of an “event”/ relationship we have to accept that this person is really gone from your life. Moving on is much harder than staying in the safety of the past.

An Unwanted Break

So its March 18th and I haven’t written since February 28th. My dog died. I’ve been working through the death of my dog for oh, 2 2/1 weeks now. It really sent me into a frozen cold space that I did not want to leave. It was not hard to sit in my dark space for a couple weeks and really think about what happened. Tony (my pup) came into my life seven years ago. The day I really moved to Maryland I rescued him. He was a six week old fur ball. Until he hit three he was an amazing dog. After that it was filled with a series of aggressive attacks against the other animals. We tried everything we could think of but it wasn’t enough. Resolution came in the form of a bite against my son. I still feel so guilty that my son was bitten by dog. It really feels like I sacrificed my son to keep my dog. If I would have done something different…Oh the drama in my head. But Tony is gone…almost. He is in a box in my car. I plan of scattering his ashes soon. Because it is just not normal to keep your dead dog in your car. Right?
