haters

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be a "friend". Unfortunately some people say they are friends but are really two faced. It is unfair to be in a situation where one person cares and the other is in it for what they can get out of the f aux relationship. I am tired of being walked on because of what I can bring to a friendship. A real friend sticks around when you are going through a rough time. A real friend lets you talk about it when you have had a bad day. A real friend doesn't make your bad day into a huge story about how much worse their day was. A real friend doesn't make your personal shared information seem unimportant. A real friend realizes that not everything is a competition because it never ends well.

Cheaters never prosper but liars get away with murder

I am usually a pretty laid back person. I don't let a lot get to me (at least I try not to) and I generally like everybody, and try not to give them a hard time. But the one thing that I absolutely cannot stand in a personality is a liar. Not just a liar but the kind of liar that will lie to cover their ass, make them look superior, and put someone down ALL in the same sentence.

I get angry when I see this happen to someone else as well as myself. However, i am also not one to say no to someone. I know that I have issues with being assertive and doing what is best for me but if I don't get out of this situation with this person (no names here) I am going to go insane with all the lies and just plain BULL SHIT that spews from the mouth. Now for those that know me it takes a lot to really anger me but dammit i just don't know how much more I can stand by and watch before i blow. I keep telling myslef that it will be alright and that the most professional thing to do about this deception is to let it be handled by a higher up but if it continues to go unnoticed i am going to have to be the bad guy. i just don't want it to get to the point of being a "tattle tale" . Or petty behaviors but I have a feeling anyway this goes that is how it will turn out.

Portraits and Potatoes

Today we are getting a family portrait taken. We are getting 5 poses done one of the whole family, one of Max and I, one of Mom and Dad, one of the three kids, and I am unsure what the last pose will be. I mean doesn't it figureI have been off for an entire month and today I get sick. The nasal congestion, sore throat, sneezing and coughing that I have been trying to avoid. Not just for the sake of the portrait but because I am returning to school on Monday for my microbiology class.

So all day we have been shopping because we cannot match up outfits between the six of us; I have just felt achy and horrible. Now that it is down to 1 and 1/2 hours before our picture I feel horrible. not to mention look horrible. I guess that we will see how it all goes. Maybe a little makeup will make me look better than I feel lol.

On a side note, Max now eats mashed potatoes. I know that is a severely sidetracked subject, but this kid has never liked anything with potatoes besides French fries. I remember when I first tried him on potatoes he was just an infant trying the different foods. So the first time that I tried it he ate two bites then vomited his whole dinner. Fun times. I have tried potatoes every way imaginable since that first fiasco to no avail. Finally he ate some a few nights ago, much to my surprise. I was so excited. Not that it is a big deal that he doesn't eat potatoes, but it limits his dinner options, and seeing as he is already picky the more options available the better off we are. Here are some pictures of my big boy eating his potatoes HOORAY.
