Mama's Gettin' Real: And that's all I have to say about that...

I love having this blog. It gives me a place to document the pictures and shenanigans that my children and I get into. It gives me a place to vent when I am sad or hurt or angry or just want to ramble about absolutely nothing. Through this blog, I have come in contact with some pretty awesome ladies who are going through their everyday life the same way as me. One foot in front of the other, one day at a time, ~~drink in hand~~. I realize this blog is out in the open, for all to see, and that's great. I have a lot of friends, family members, and strangers that read my blog, for reasons that are beyond me :) I am happy to share my life for those that are interested and use my words POSITIVELY. However, it has been brought to my attention that there may be readers who visit my blog for all the wrong reasons. (To my friends who read this and know this is not about YOU, please just read through and then know that the last paragraph is for you!)

If you are reading my blog in an effort to mock my life or my lifestyle in any way, then maybe you shouldn't read. I realize that my personal life, parenting skillz, teaching style, and hobbies are ~~effing awesome~~ not the "norm" for everyone (and thank God for that, because I'm not on this earth to mimick everyone else), but you don't HAVE to read about any of those things. You CHOOSE to ~~stalk~~ read this blog I have a dirty mouth and a dirty mind and my sense of humor is offensive even to myself sometimes. But that's who I am. If you don't like it...well kindly move your cursor to the top right corner and click the hell out of that X. I don't "make" anyone read this nonsense, so it baffles me as to why people who don't like me or my blog...continue to take interest in both!

We all holla fo a dolla every now and then honey-booboo-child.

If you read my blog to get pleasure from my pain, you shouldn't be reading. When I write about my insecurities, it is not so that others can feel better about themselves because I am struggling (yeah, there are sick people out there who do that). It is for me to be honest with myself and to try and figure out how I can overcome whatever obstacles may be in my way. I need people who are going to help me fight those battles, not add more fuel to the fire that may already be burning me up.

Oprah's so smart.

If you read my blog to share what is going on in my life with people from my past, who should have no desire to be in my current business, please stop clicking on my link or typing in my address. If you are someone from my "past", there is probably a reason that you are not a part of my present or my future. I'm flattered that you're interested, but it's time to move on. I have made amends with my past, am happy with my present, and am beyond excited for my future.

Can I get an AMEN??

This blog isn't here for you to mock my weight, or my struggle with losing said weight. When I spoke of insecurities earlier, weight is one of the biggest ones. Every person's body is different. I know people who eat everything in sight, never workout, and are a size 2. I know people who sacrifice all things tasty, eating things like ~~packaged cement~~ protein bars and tasteless food, let Jillian Michaels kick their ass daily, and are a size 16. Losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight isn't easy for everyone, and it's certainly not easy for me. I'm here to vent about my downfalls, cheer about my successes, and hope that someone out there can either relate or support me along the way. If you are not a part of one of those categories, peace. And while I would like to apologize that most of my posts lately have been weight/workout related and haven't been full of crazy stories or my filthy mouth...I can't! That's the forefront of what's going in my life right now, so that's what I write about.

Get your own.

I'm here for fun and for positive followers and positive feedback. I don't need negativity. I am not 12 and I do not want to be a part of Jr. High drama. So, to my 'you shouldn't be here and you know it' reader(s), if you are reading this, as I am assuming you will be, please stop. Leave me alone. Stop worrying about me, my family, and my cray cray life, and go and take care of you and yours.

I kid, I kid. Kinda...

And last, but certainly not least, to MY REAL FRIENDS, I thank you. Whether I have known you for years, recently met you, or have only shared words and laughs with you in our little blog/instagram/facebook/keek world, I think yall are all amazing. It is because of all of YOU that I am able to brush off the bullshit and keep on keepin' on. It is beause of all of YOU that I am able to laugh at myself (and you of course) as we maneuver our way through this crazy thing we call life. Thanks for lifting me up, shoving me along, and being my personal cheerleading squad. I love yall like a fat kid ~~who am I kidding, I love yall like I love all things peanut butter and chocolate~~ loves cake!
