One of my Facebook friends had an interesting quote up one day and it basically promoted the fact that we don’t have bad days, we all have bad moments that some use to create a fully bad day. I have to believe this to be true, being the sort of thinker I am, makes me redirect my mind to something better. I firmly believe that if you allow one down or bad moment take you for a whirl, that is focusing on this bad moment, then it will only have more bad moments to follow which in turn makes a bad day.

If you make a conscious decision to take that bad moment, find some small aspect of positive from it, and move forward to make the day a better one, you will find the day will only get brighter. It is extremely difficult to turn a bad moment upside down, but many go by the saying “fake it til you make it” and sometimes faking a little smile to get your mind boosted in the right direction isn’t all that bad of an idea! Just remember, don’t fake it til you make it forever, simply forcing a smile through this bad moment, is fine, but faking a smile through out your days, does not necessarily change the outcome of your day, now does it?

One must fully believe in their heart and soul that this bad moment can be overcome, that life will go on and life will go on happily. We all create our happily ever after, so do not allow one bad moment become more bad moments and in turn creating a bad day when all you had to do was turn lips upward to a smile, for when you smile so do those around you, and then that so called fake smile will be heart felt as you watch your family smile in return from your smile.

I work every morning from about 8am until lunch time, from then on I am on, what i like to call “Mama Duty”, where I am not allowed to touch email, blogs, computers, nothing again until the munchkins are asleep. This wasn’t always the rule or the case in my home but ever since I stopped my virtual assistant business and focused on writing things have become more peaceful and fun in the house!

You see, I really only “need” a few hours a week to do all of my writing and in turn make enough money to support the family but getting my words of wisdom to the world are important to me and as with any self employed type of job, you have to take time to market yourself so that you in turn make money.

The four hours a day I spend online sometimes turn into me having 7 tabs open in FireFox with my brain on overdrive. You see, I want to write, stumble posts, digg posts and interact on Twitter as well as Facebook but instead of taking each task as one at a time, I try to do it all at once. Maybe it’s my multi-tasking personality or maybe I have Blog ADD, whatever it is, I can not seem to focus on one task at a time.

Every morning I swear this morning will be different, I will open only two tabs; email and one blog, but it never fails, before I know it I have 7 tabs open and although I get a ton done, I never leave the computer feeling fully “complete” in my tasks.

I love to travel, but unfortunately I don’t have much of a budget for it right now. I got a pay cut at work last year, so there went my yearly vacation. I’ve been trying to find ways to go on vacation and spend less money, and one of the ways to do that is to find a friend who lives somewhere interesting and go visit. It saves on hotel and food costs, which are a big chunk of every vacation. My roommate from college moved to Nashville last year, so I called her to see if there was a good time for me to come out. We set a date, and I planned all the things we were going to do. I don’t mean to be judgmental, but when I got there, I wash shocked at how horrible her neighborhood was. I was worried about her, so I suggested she research Alarm Systems Nashville to see if a home alarm system would be right for her. I feel bad because I think she was really offended, and that was not my intention. We had a great time while I was there, and I hope my comment didn’t ruin our relationship. Hopefully she will stay safe and everything will work out for her.

Does it really matter what one chooses for an occupation or what they choose to do as a parent? I mean seriously people. I live my life in such a way that I choose not to judge another parents decision, although inside of my own head I may cringe at the idea of elementary students on Facebook or young children raising younger siblings, but that is just my own internal thoughts. I would never lash out, place judgement or verbal/emotionally abuse another parent regarding their decisions. Take a moment to listen to my thoughts regarding the topic of SAHM’s, WAHM’s and work outside of the home Moms… {oh yeah and check out the Queen of the House Mom hat my daughter made me that I wore in the video – LOL}

I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic, do you agree that we should just all respect each other as parents and realize that we all do our best to raise the kids we have? Every parent is different, we raise our children to the best of our capabilities and we make family decisions based on what works for us inside of our own homes so can we all just leave well enough alone?
