I have to get something's off my chest. Maybe it is my hormones or maybe it just all that I have stuffed that is just about to bust out of me. I am just so fed up. I am fed up with so much petty stuff that people allow to control their lives. Gossip, anger, lies, manipulations...I could go on. I had a conversation with someone tonight and I was left with a great feeling of frustration. To begin with I was told for the millionth time "how much your life is going to change" when we have this new baby. Like I don't know that. Then the conversation became about someone I don't even know and it was a bit "gossipy" and I felt really uncomfortable. I can totally understand if a friend just needs to vent out some frustration, much like I am doing now, just to get something off of your chest. But this conversation came out of no where! I made a simple comment and then for 20 minutes I heard all about a person I don't even know. I heard a lot of not so nice things and I felt kind of bad for that person. Knowing that my friend was talking like this about another person made me wonder how much I get talked about. I would love to say that I don't care, but I do. I hate gossip. I hate when others talk about someone in a negative way and then would turn around and not dare say those same things to the persons own face. I have seen so much hurt be caused by such behavior and I am so tired of it. Do we not have anything better to do that talk about other peoples business when we have our own business that needs taking care of? Whether or not what is being discussed is true or not, it's still gossip. We can share concern and pray for one another but when a conversation is consumed with all the details of someone's problems I get so angry. I am an adult, not a teenager and I simply can not understand how grown adults can behave that way. I am sorry for such a crabby post but I had to get it off my chest. I knew I could not go to bed with this on my mind because I won't sleep. There's no perfect world I know, but some things seem like simple concepts and shouldn't be that difficult to understand and implement. Obviously there are people who don't get it or simply choose to ignore it and live life not caring about other peoples lives and feelings.
OK, enough my ramblings.
Didn't do much this weekend,

My sentiments also. Now that you got it off your chest let it go. Beth, in parenting there are no two " the same as someone else " deals. Every situation is different, feelings, love, likes and dislikes. Your relationship with your family, Mike, Camden and soon to be new arrival ( name here ) is a miracle of God. It's called LOVE, His divine love at work in all of you. Until Matt, Rebecca, and Luke were born I never knew, never would have dreamt that God would bless me with so much. You share this and because of this everyday is a new day filled with new blessings. I see these attributes in you. Cherish them, enjoy your blessings, they are from God. No two families are the same, usually because of how the parents relate to their children. You are doing an outstanding job. Hope this makes you feel better. Love, Uncle Frank
ditto . Uncle Frank finally unleashing some verbage .
