Today in the life of a woman with her own opinion

Cursing is not freedom of speech, tired of hearing it being used in place of actual words that make sense.  

Every time someone posts something that means something to that person, doesn't mean you have to comment and start adding your own scenario in to the post.  Maybe this, maybe that. Maybe that person just relates to the post and it feels good to just share something that may help someone someday.

Not everything is about race, stop making it so.  Sick of it all.  I may lose my shit if someone says "You're white privileged".  "No, you don't know me, or my life".  You don't tell me how I am, I know who I am. I'm a woman. I'm a libertarian. I am a licensed gun owner.  I love my country and flag.  I support law enforcement and my troops. 

Stop canceling my culture, develop your own.  The over-sensitivity to everything is tiresome and useless. How about we worry about Covid? Controlling our borders? or how about we worry about where our children are disappearing to? Huh?  How about that?

Him he, his. She her, hers.  That's it.  How in the heck do you refer to a man or woman as a they?  Grammatically I'm going to lose my mind.  I have transgender child who is just as confused by this as I am. 

It is not chest feeding, only a woman can breastfeed...with her breast. It is not her chest. So dumb.  

Birthing person??? What the heck?  Women give birth to babies. I'm a mother!  As a woman, I gave birth to my babies.  

God, we are all waiting for the return of your Son because this is all getting freaking ridiculous. 

Someone once told me that I’ve been strong for so long, that I don’t even realize how hard my life has been. I wanted to say that I think my life is pretty easy, which I do, but has it really been? Did I just get used to surviving that it became easy? My answer is this. There have been so many blessings in my life that I can’t dwell on how hard my life has been but how many good things have happened along the way.

Is it always like this way with me positive? No, it’s not. Sometimes I want to scream and give up because I’m tired of carrying the burden of everything on my shoulders. But gosh darn it, there’s so much I’m grateful for. If I look back, I should’ve been dead by now. So I am grateful to the man that actually saved my life who is no longer on this earth. So I honor him by living. This was my husband Steve. We fought like cats and dogs and even separated at one point, but I knew he was the one and I miss him terribly.

It has been 15 years this September 30th that he has been gone and I'm tired of being single. I want someone to actually take care of me for once because I am tired.

My Thoughts for Today 9/6/21

There is so much going on in the world that I am starting to wonder if everyone has blinders on.  It feels like so many people are oblivious to the obvious truth, a truth I should not have to utter.  It is scary and hopeful at the same time.  In my opinion, there is so much wrong in how people think nowadays.  There is no respect, cursing is 100% acceptable, showing butts and sexual intimacy on TV and moves is now OK for kids, doing drugs on TV and movies is also acceptable.  

I was shopping at Target one day and I passed by the little girls section and I was appalled.  Being modesty but not a prude, I was dismayed by the clothing being sold to little girls. Crop tops and short shorts was among the many items of clothing.  Never in a million years would I allow my children to dress like that and I sure am not going to let my grandkids dress like that. 

There are movements happening even in our schools around the country, students protesting dress code.  They really have no idea why we have dress code and it is not really what they think.  Growing up poor, I would of loved the opportunity to not be singled out for how poor I was, I would have loved a $5.00 t-shirt.  Not having access to a laundry machine because I had no money during my high school years, I hand washed my clothes.  I was an outcast in my high school days.  The kids that have school shirts now who were like me, are grateful for them.  It is a sense of pride, at least that's how I feel, when I see all the students wearing school shirts around town and at school.  I'm like "Wow, school spirit" but these kids are making it about how they should be allowed to express themselves.  

There are ways to express yourself eloquently and respectfully, school is not for dressing like you're at the beach.  I have seen many students express themselves with the school shirts and it's great.  No one is trying to stifle your creative and self expression.  Very rarely do kids get pulled out of class for non school shirts, it is mostly during passing so it does not really interfere with your education.  Do you know what does?  The complete disrespect when being politely asked to get a school shirt, wear appropriate shorts and pants.  Just do as asked and all will go smooth. It is the questioning of everything is why a student gets into trouble.

As adults we need to set better examples for our children.   I didn't let my children watch in appropriate movies growing up and I always watched that I did not curse in front of them. They had rules and chores and they were not allowed to be disrespectful and talk back.  They were allowed to express their feelings and what was wrong but they had to go to their rooms and calm down first. 

Courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, idomitable spirit, modesty and faith!
