I’ve been trying hard to keep things upbeat here since I saw that when I got down and bitched about something the crickets came out and the silence was deafening. There are so many thoughts swirling through my head right now and I haven’t been able to pin them down to form coherent thoughts or at the very least complete posts. So this is going to be one of those Blog salad randomness posts.

**I’ve been in a major funk lately. There are always things that go on behind the scenes of blogs that you don’t put out there for the whole world to see and that’s the case here just like it is with anyone else. Some of those things are getting to me. Seriously getting to me. To the point that I’ve wondered if I took the blog down would anyone notice? Would anyone care? Not that it’s something I’m going to do just random thoughts I’ve had lately.

**Lori at A Cowboy’s wife posted this week about Cliques. And I see it…all the time I saw it in High school…in college and after that. Even in the pagan classes I took (yes there are classes like that) Much like back then I keep to myself and don’t say much. I read twitter all day long and rarely say anything because I don’t feel like what I have to say is as interesting as everyone else. There are people in the blogsphere that I used to look up to and now avoid which is sad. Hey I’m not one of the cool kids but some of the cool kids talk to me sometimes.

**Have you ever gotten to the point with something that you felt guilty about it even though you shouldn’t because it’s not something you can control. Yeah that’s me lately. All with the guilt and none of the control. (Too many years of Catholicism maybe?)

**Thanksgiving is fast approaching. Feel like this year has just flown by. The next two months are going to be a whirlwind. Is it 2009 yet?

**We found out Chickens don’t bounce this week. I won’t go into all the gory details. Just know it involved a Tyson’s truck transporting live chickens. An escapee chicken and the car behind me (Thankfully I missed it). It all culminated with a very fascinated six year old boy. And me swearing not to eat Chicken for a little while.

**I got a few thing in the mail today to start up my review blog with kinda excited about that. Even some stuff for a giveaway or two!!

When I stand up for

myself and my beliefs,

they call me a

bitch.

When I stand up for

those I love,

they call me a

bitch.

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts

or do things my own way, they call me a

bitch.

Being a bitch

means I won’t

compromise what’s

in my heart.

It means I live my life MY way.

It means I won’t allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to

tolerate injustice and

speak against it, I am

defined as a

bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for

myself instead of being everyone’s maid, or when I act a little selfish.

It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I

truly am and won’t become

anyone else’s idea of what they think I ’should’ be.

I am outspoken,

opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing

wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me,

try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold

within me.

You won’t succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch ,

so be it.

I embrace the title and

am proud to bear it.

‘If you can’t do something right, get a woman to do it.’

And a manic Monday it has been. Okay not really…I guess it just feels that way. Going with the always loved and adored bulleted list today since my brain is all over the place

1. *Charlaine Harris I can seriously read one of her books in a day..I can’t put it down.
2. *Hubby thinks it’s Vampire porn for women
3. *He’s probably right
4. *No I’m not obsessed with the show at all
5. *Okay maybe a little
6. *Anyway…
7. *It’s picture week here is the Rose household. Before it was so easy. I could pick their clothes out and it didn’t matter. Not so much now. Mister Man is in Middle school now and Mom helping just isn’t cool anymore. The little Price at the ripe old age of 6 has three girlfriends (post on this coming soon) and he has to look nice for them so he’s picked his shirt out.
8. *I have had a headache for several days now and it just won’t go away. It’s right behind my right eye and I seriously want to pluck it out.
9. *Being a responsible adult SUCKS ASS (post coming on this too)
10. *Big Daddy and I are fast approaching our one year wedding anniversary. It’s hard to believe it was a year ago that we finally got our shit straight after 15 years. I look back on posts like this and can’t believe how time has flown by.
11. *I’ve gotten my ass back in gear on my knitting. I wanted to have three blankets done by Christmas for our two nieces and one nephew but I’ve been lazy and haven’t worked on them…so it’s back to knitting. Thankfully the one I’m currently on is basic squares for part of it so I can read blogs and knit at the same time.
12. *If you think about it light a candle, say a prayer, whatever it is your beliefs dictate and keep Hannah and Andrew, From Type A Momma in your thoughts. Little Andrew is here and is absolutely beautiful but they still have a long road ahead of them

That’s it for now. Right now it’s back to knitting and laughing my ass off at the tweets coming from Meghan and Amy

I spent today cleaning and now I’m going to make dinner and probably fall over. But hey my kitchen is spotless that counts for something right? So today I leave you with random little kid lip syncing to Jukebox Hero…

Little Dude Lip Syncs – Watch more free videos

Again no winner, just did not have my camera out this past week. I did however clean my kitchen to within an inch of it’s life…lol It needed it badly. Not saying it was filthy…just cluttered. The tupperware cabinet had exploded…kids papers and projects were on the counters and table. All of it was cleaned up and I am a much happier witch

Full Moon is tomorrow and I am getting my Usui Master Reiki attunement tomorrow night. I can’t wait!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Still dealing with Vertigo here. Went back to the doctor and I’m on some different meds and out of work until at least the rest of this week. If anyone has any suggestions I’m all for hearing them.

Nothing much to report today…had a very long day and still trying to process it all. Hopefully something more profound tomorrow
