Really?!?!

So, today has been a crazy day. There comes a time when I must speak up for myself and I am thankful that I have my blog page so I can do this from time to time. I don't usually post negative things on here, and I hope this isn't too bad, but I just need to get some things off my chest.

Why is it that people always feel the need to criticize, gossip, demean, pass judgement, degrade, etc others that they call friends? From what I have seen in the past and today as well, people normally do this in order to make themselves look better. They want to uplift themselves and their family and "show" that they are better than you(or the person being talked about) in some way. Can you not just keep your mouth shut?!?!

A few things to address...

*I don't care that Tatum is not running circles around our house yet. Yes she will be ONE on Saturday and no she is not walking yet. And ya know what!?!? That is okay with me and Antonio. Last time I checked that just makes her a normal child.

*It is fine with me if you have 1,000,000,000,000,000 friends, but I am choosing not to. As I stated in a previous post(titled "It's Not My Job), I don't want 1,000,000,000,000,000 friends nor do I feel that I need that many. If you feel that way, great, but it's just not for me.

*On top of that, Antonio and I don't have a 30,000 square foot house. What does this mean? This means that we could not invite everyone within a 100 mile radius of our house to Tatum's birthday party. Sorry that Antonio and I have a big family that will take up the majority of the room in our TINY little shoe for a house(sense the sarcasm?). How did we decide on our friends to invite? I can't believe I am even trying to explain this, but I want to give you something to talk about so you can stay busy. Well, if I don't have your number in my cell phone then we must not talk often. If we don't talk often then you didn't get invited. I know you think we sat down and made a list of everyone we like and everyone we don't like and only invited those people that we like, but I can assure you that this is not how it happened. It's great that you are a friend of a friends, but this "shoe house" we live in just isn't big enough.

*Also, in case you didn't already know, Antonio and I aren't millionaires. So, if you don't agree with who we did/did not invited to Tatum's party then I will personally let you be in charge of Tatum's birthday fund for her 2nd birthday. With you in charge of this fund, we will be able to rent out something next year with enough room for everyone! Trust me, I would LOVE that!

This is only Tatum's FIRST birthday party. Is this something we are going to go through every year!?!? This has already taken too much of my time.

If you decided to read this and it does not apply to you, then I apologize for the negativity expressed. However, if you read this and feel like it does apply to you, then I am praying for the situation.

I have said what I want to and I am done with these topics. I plan to enjoy Tatum and her party and don't plan to worry about anything else.

If I can lay my head on my pillow knowing that I am a great mother, wife, daughter, sister, employee, and friend, then I have no worries.
