How to be rich in less than 5 minutes.....

Success & Happiness ...ughh.....sometimes I hate taking about this topic with certain people. Its a never ending battle between opinions. As we all know, everyone values success in their own ways. Some may think wallets full of Benjamin's makes them Superior in the world, while others flaunt their CEO/CFO titles around like we give a shit. You wanna know what i think? Well, too bad, I am going to tell you anyways. I think if you wake up satisfied & happy with who you are, what you do and most importantly what you have than you are Successful! You are more powerful than the richest man in the world.....Because almost certainly that man is more miserable than you think.

Remember the old saying your parents tried telling you growing up? " Money doesn't buy happiness"....well, here we are and its TRUE. Money may make life a bit easier- but if you aren't happy with your "bare ass self"- then all the money in the world is not going to help. Strip down those designer clothes, fake nails, jewelry up the yin yang and what do you see?? Someone who is happy with what they have.....Children, a roof over your head, food to eat, a hobby you enjoy, good friends & family and most importantly YOU! You are here...living each day....Be Grateful for that.

I am grateful for my son. He is my best friend and I couldn't imagine life without him.....so I am grateful that I woke up today with him.....and will be grateful for tomorrow when I wake up to him again. I am grateful I found my soulmate at such a young age- as you never know when your last day will be and I want as much time with him as possible. I am grateful my husband works so we can have a roof over our heads...as small as it is and as much as I complain- its home...it's a cozy home...and most importantly it's OUR HOME! I am grateful for my friends & family who without saying bring so much DRAMA & LOVE into my life. I wouldn't want it any other way- because they are MY friends & family and you should be grateful for what you have not what you do not!

Think of what you are most grateful for tomorrow as you sit and enjoy your meal. For starters, Be grateful you have a meal to sit down to... Too many this year are without.

Happy Turkey day!!!!

Swine Who??

Swine Flu is on everyone's mind these days....



Everywhere I go people are talking about...... and today while walking around Wrentham Village Outlets, I overheard a woman say that she didn't want to go into the food court because people had their mouths open and didn't want to catch Swine Flu......Are you freaking serious??? Then why are you out of your house??? Comments like these drive me insane! If you think because you are walking at fast pace...the "Swine Flu" won't be able to "get you"....than that's just stupidity......you are in a public place!!! Sorry- had to vent- sometimes people should just keep their mouths shut- they don't realize what an ass they make themselves look like with the things they say!

Next- Vaccine.....To get it or not to get it?? That is the Question! And what is the CORRECT answer......... There is no right or wrong answer for everyone. It should be a personal decision. I am not for or against the vaccine. However- I have chosen to not get the vaccine. Landon has received the regular flu vaccine and I feel protected for him. Some people fail to realize that this flu is still acting like the regular flu.....most people who have been sick have recovered without needing medical treatment.

I have chosen to not get the vaccine for many reasons..... 1st: I am a firm believer that all the necessary precautions did not go into making this vaccine and not enough research was done as it was such a short amount of time before they started to bring it to the market 2nd: most times I doubt what doctors think is best ( as I am the ONLY one who can say what is best for my child and I have had many encounters with doctors who are 100% wrong ) 3rd: I wash my child's hands, don't take my child out when he sick, ask others to leave when they are sick etc....

For those who think their decision to get or not to get the vaccine is better than others- than shame on you. How dare you judge someone based on their own beliefs. This is a personal decision and you have to stick to what you believe, make the decision and be done with it. No back handed comments to me will make me change my mind about getting the vaccine. If you don't like it- then Screw You and go pick on someone else- cause this Bitch isn't listening to it!

To those who still need to make this very personal decision- feel free to visit the CDC website for a complete guide to the Swine Flu. http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/general_info.htm
