Example 1:
I quit smoking on December 31st, 2010. That was my New Years Resolution. I wanted to live more healthy for my kids and myself. So what if I have gained like 5lbs since I quit. I've never been a tiny person, but I'm not huge. I'm like 130lbs. The last I checked, I'm not extremely obeese. I'm not on the brink of death because I'm shoving twinkies down my throat. I've put on a few pounds. Big deal. I'm so sick of hearing the people I work with say things that are so harsh...yet they think it's so funny. And they say it to my face. I just offered my lunch to another guy here because he worked through lunch and I went to lunch with some other coworkers, and I jokingly said I have some oreos and his response was, "You can afford to skip out on a few Oreos.". Another comment I have received from a coworker, "You have an angel face but you don't have an angel body.". So what! I'd rather have a few extra pounds than to be a bag of bones. What kind of an example of a mother would I be if I starved myself so I could be what everyone else wants me to be. Are you kidding me? Why are people so insensitive these days?
Example 2:
I have missed some work because my daughter was hospilitized twice. Some people at my work decided they would tell me how wrong it is that I work period. They said I should not be working because in the Chinese culture, the women stay home and take care of the children. I'm not Chinese. Good for you if you can afford to let your wife stay home with the kids. I am a different people. I live a different life. I am not you. So sorry....actually, no. NO I'M NOT SORRY. The only thing I'm remotely sorry about is that you are so shallow that you feel everyone must live the way you live. Good luck trying to get there! How can people be so insensitive to other's culture or way of life. This has gotten way out of control.
Example 3:
Those people who always want you to do for them, but when you need a small favor in return, you become invisible. It amazes me how someone can go far out of their way to try to help other people, but when the shoe is on the other foot, the door gets slammed in their face. Shoot, the door doesn't get opened in the first place. And the phone doesn't get answered. Voicemails don't get returned. But when that USER feels like they need something again, they can come to my door. Or suddenly their phone works again....or it works well enough to call and ask me for a favor. I guess this is no longer a world of give AND take. Ya know, a little of both.
I'm just so sick of people's lack of concern for others feelings. What if we ALL decided to be that way? Thank God some of us can brush others insensitivities off and learn to live with a good, open heart and mind.
On to the weekend (a short version!):
Saturday was pretty good! Kind of. It started off good. I took Hunter and Lilah to the Children's Museum in Houston. Hunter absolutely loves that place. And Lilah likED it when she was younger and wasn't very mobile. But now Lilah hates it. Or maybe it's because she's at that stage that the only thing she wants is to be in mommy's arms--either way, she did not enjoy herself! And Hunter was acting strange. He was so quiest and mumbly. Usually he's pretty lively there, but not this time. (He was sick Friday, but Chase said he was acting fine Saturday morning.) After about 45 minutes--an hour at the most--Hunter started grabbing his tummy. He said he had to go poo-poo. So I took him to the potty to find out that he already had an explosion. From then all, it was all tears and tummy grabbing. Needless to say, we left. That was my Saturday.
Brian and I decided to have some family time since it was his first day off in almost two weeks. We woke up early, got all of us ready, then left for the Houston Zoo. We had to make a couple pit stops, so Lilah got pretty cranky and tired. I was hoping she'd get a good nap in before we got the the zoo, but that didn't happen. She was a cranky little girl. We had a few good moments, but we didn't stay long. She is like Brian. She sweats at the first sign of heat. It wasn't hot...I think it was 75° or something like that, but it was sunny. And the sun got the best of her. Before we left, we stopped by the gift shop to get Lilah a little gift. Brian picked out this silly looking stuffed animal thing. For some unknown reason, Brian likes to get Lilah stuffed animals that have HUGE eyes. But she loves it. I actually feel bad because she kept throwing Fanny to the side to play with her new friend we named Zoey!
