"Is this where you throw me in the deep end and see if I can swim?"

"No, this is where I throw you off a cliff and see if you can fly."

That exchange thrills me and scares me at the same time.

I can swim, and I know I can fly, it's just that first step....

The first step is always a doozy.

At least that's what Bugs Bunny says, and he's usually right.

Not too worry, I'll be holding your hand when you take it.

you'll have to, I'm afraid.

 

[impressive]

I know, it's just REALLY, REALLY hard.

Which just tells you that it's REALLY, REALLY worth it. The alternative is a slow death.

I know.

And this is what I've wanted, and waited for forever, but that little face stops me in my tracks.

Understood. He will be MUCH better off with a happy mom, though.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I've got two, one has a ciggie or a coffee in it for you, the other is free to hold, or you can hop on my back and I'll carry you.

Remember what I said yesterday, you will be going into a better position in life and that will add to making things right.
If need be you have several people here that will back up that you are a great mom forced into a bad situation from which you had to leave to make things better for your son.

A comforter for my bed (finally), a potty chair for the little one, toys for the little two, printer paper. Nothing terribly exciting.

Lol.
I'm not done yet.
This is the biggest refund we've ever had. Too bad we have stuff we "have" to do; we could have a really good time with the money otherwise.

 

[Belegon]

SJ, ABS & Cloudy all talking about cashing checks...It's enough to make a guy wanna job at the bank...

"Ma'am, did you you have openings for tellers?"

"What hours can you work?"

"Actually, I'd just like to serve those three ladies in line...you don't even have to pay me, just let me see them smile at me...."

 

[rikaaim]

My new writing goal is to get a story submitted here with an E. I think it's a fair goal and should never be outta the question. Just makes me have to step up my writing more. I also have a goal to be a contest winner one of these days. This means I have to write more and better. *nods head*. Good goals for the year I think.

Look! You are going to keep having a hard time finding someone else who loves you as long as you stand in front of the fucking mirror telling yourself how bad you suck!

I know that confidence is not easy to achieve, believe me! I've fucking been there! But as long as you walk around believing that all these people you supposedly like and admire are all lying to you when they tell you you're valuable & desireable you will remain your own worst enemy!

If you really value and respect my opinion then how about respecting & valuing the positive things I say about you!

</rant>

damn it all, I know the "head slap" approach won't work...but sometimes I get frustrated and want to slap some sense into someone...

 

[zeb1094]

Sometimes you have to get their attention first.
I have found that a 2by4 works best.
Just above the right ear, wack!
When they turn their head toward your and say 'What?'
poke 'em right between the eyes and say 'Listen to me!' loudly.

It's funny how many people this rant applies to.

Myself included.

I can only have my compliments & reassurances disregarded so many times before I simply stop giving them. In a way, I find it insulting that my word is not believed. *shrugs* This applies to physical attractiveness, writing skills ... you name it.
