Who gets to say what normal is??

-
Life is a crazy, hectic, amazing miracle!! Every single one of us is different in so many ways, yet we are always compared to each other.  This is something I have never understood.
 What I consider normal may be totally different from what my next door neighbor considers normal  (and oh believe me, it truly is!! Lol)

Yet society compares us anyway. People treat others cruely if they dont stand up to their expectations,  or if they dont act a certain way. Even children now a days can be cruel because of learning things at home. For instance, a little girl in my 1st grade daughters class told my daughters friend, while they were in daycare together, that my child is fat.  The next day he came in and told my child what the little girl said. Luckily my kids know that they are perfect the way they are and it didnt bother her as much as it could have.

My point being who gets to decide these things?? "Society" has such a disgusting view on some things, and "society" says that this is right, or this is not.

Well I have never followed the rules of society.  I have always been one to speak my mind, be who I am no matter who likes me, and I will always raise my children to do the same.

Nobody has the right to decide what "Normal" means. You decide for yourself what is YOUR normal!!! Live your normal, and if people dont like you for who you are, then they never liked you for you to begin with, so they dont deserve you!!!

Having School Age Children During Covid

-
  Things have been super crazy since schools got shut down last April when Covid came out to the public. We live in Maryland and at first it was only supposed to be a 2 week break, then when it was realized how serious Covid really was schools shut down for the rest of the year. The kids were given work to do so they could still work on what they needed to for that school year, which was almost over (Thank Goodness!!!), but for kids who's parent aren't super into their education I imagine it was extremely hard.   Unfortunately, the area we live in there were alot of kids who were pretty much on their own. Not only for the end of that year, but last year they did virtual, online classes. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!! I have 3 kids and I taught them more than their teachers did. Luckily my children have always gotten really good grades and pick up on most things fairly quickly, at least compared to some of the other kids their age.    The online learning was horrible!! Many ADULTS have a

Explaining the title of my blog...

Normal... what's that?? I had a hard time deciding what to choose as the title for my blog because its not like most blogs out there now a days. I dont post products or DIY. I dont necessarily post about facts. I post things that I know, or at least hope, that other people can relate to. And who in this crazy world we live in can't relate to the fact that WE. ARE. ALL. DIFFERENT!!! That's not a bad thing, being different just means we are all unique, we all have our own ways of doing things. I mean how boring would the world be if we all were just "normal" and did things exactly the same. This is the 21st century here people, not the 19th century. We have women's rights, gay marriage,  and all kinds of other things we consider just a part of life now.  Any one of them would have shocked the 'H E double hockey sticks' out of any single person who even considered those things in the 19th century.. unless they were time travelers of course lol ;)

A Bit More of Me..

      In my last post, I wrote a bit about my past and my addiction, but I didn't say much because I got into my son's birth. Plus, I kinda started at the end, sort of. I mean, being a recovering addict, there truly is no end, this is something I will have with me for the rest of my life.       Even after being clean for over 8 years, and living life like a "normal" family, there are people who are clean for decades and end up relapsing. Of course, I hope that isn't going to be a part of my story one day, but none of us know what the future holds. All we can do it live one day at a time, and be the best person we can be. They say to always try to be a better person than you were yesterday... Really, that is all we can do!!           Addiction is a disease, it truly is no different than any other, beside the fact that we have the will power inside of us (when we are ready to live right) to control the disease that is inside of us and live right. As hard as it is, i
