Some rambling observations

1) Don't drink and drive. Why are we as a society still fighting this battle? Haven't we learned from Don't Drink and Drive, MADD and all the gruesome and heart-wrenching drunk-driving portrayals that are par for the course in most high schools and colleges just how dangerous it is to drink and then get behind the wheel of a car? You are not better than everyone else, you have not been endowed with superpowers to get behind a wheel after drinking and make it home without incident. And for God's sake and everyone else's if you are a grown-assed adult please join AA or some other support group that will keep you from making this mistake again! STOP DRINKING AND DRIVING AND RUINING OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES!

2) Don't be a dumb-bird. This poor bird put her nest in a very small and fragile tree...

Here is the tree and the nest:

3) If you do not have children, have not raised your own children or your child is 2 days old, stop handing out parenting advice. You have no idea what you are talking about and we are all rolling our eyes at you. All the reading articles, books, taking classes and here-say, etc. will never be the same as taking care of a child day in and day out.

4) If you love your husband, wife, companion or whatever you call that person that you are spending your life with, TELL THEM! This goes for anyone that you care deeply for--let them know what they mean to you. If your marriage is having a problem get in there and get it sorted out--don't let things build up--fight for your marriage! Now if you are dealing with Adultery, Addiction or Abuse--please seek help for those immediately!

5) Raising a teenager and toddler at the same time is challenging. Leave it to the experts out there lol

6) Stop worrying about everything ALL THE TIME. Some things are just out of your control and what will be, will be--deal with it and move on.

7) Read something everyday. Eat chocolate everyday. It will make the day more enjoyable!

8) If you want to lose weight put down the bag of chips and step away from the computer

9) If you are an elementary teacher yet you cannot teach basic skills to children, maybe you should think about a career change--you sure would have saved me a lot of heartache--I know you'll never see this but you know who you are.

10) If you are always surrounded by drama...it may be you that is the drama queen

11) Pray everyday for the stupid people--they need all the help they can get

12) One day grammar will be subjective
