You Potty Mouth!

Sometimes I just sit around and try to analyze the oddest things. Trying to sort out why something is this way or that way in my head. One thing that pops in my head a lot is, are you ready for this?? Curse words!

Cuss Words. Swear Words. Whatever way you want to describe them! Maybe I think about it more now that I have children and don't want them getting in trouble at school for saying one of these very naughty words!

What makes a word a "bad word"? How is sh*t any different than saying "poop"? Damn instead of "dang"? F**k instead of "screw"? As* instead of butt? Why is one word considered bad and another considered acceptable when they both mean the same thing?

WHO out there decides which words are bad and which words are ok? Why should children get punished for saying as* instead of butt? How exactly do we explain it to them? It really seems down right silly to me. They are just words for christ's sake! Why might I get banned from certain blogger rings or social sites just because I might say one of these expletives? Yet, it's perfectly acceptable for me to say poop, feces, butt, arse, sex, screw, heck... etc..?

Why are some people considered "dirty" and/or "bad people" because they say this word instead of that word?

Does anyone have an explanation for this? Curious minds want to know!

What are you paying for Gas?

Thought it would be interesting to hear what gas prices are in different places around the country! Leave a comment with your location and the price of gas today!

Currently, in northwest Ohio gas is $2.59 for unleaded gas. How high is it going to get?? Where do you think the highest price for gas is??

Gas Prices on the rise.. AGAIN??

The weather has finally turned for the better, the snow is GONE and the temperature is rising. What else is rising?? Gas prices, ofcourse! Now when everyone is feeling good, feeling healthy and ready to finally get out of the house, the gas prices shoot up. Isn't it bad enough that just about EVERYONE is laid off and out of work and now the gas prices go up?? Forget all of the people that want to go on vacations and have fun, what about the people searching for jobs? Now they can't even afford GAS to get to apply for a job or go to a job interview?? Every day more and more people are losing their jobs while the "big" people keep raising the prices on everything, not just gas and expect the country to still survive??

Obama, WHERE are you?? Your country is drowning while you are making assinine and somewhat offensive JOKES that I did not find funny at all, especially for a President to say. Stop the comedy act and take care of your country! People are suffering every day without jobs. People can't pay bills, people are losing their homes. What are you doing to help them?? How loud do us citizens have to scream before you help us?? The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. We are begging you for help so please, step up to the plate and show us that you CAN handle this job.. before it's too late!

Slowly making my way back!

Wow what a long past month it has been! We went to TN last month and had a blast! Ended up staying an extra day! We didn't want to come home. It's so beautiful there and everyone is so friendly! My husband is still trying to talk me into moving there.. eventually!! It is definitely something to think about!

A week after we came back from TN, we moved. That has been a never ending event! Been trying to get everything moved over here and get our old house emptied out and cleaned up. I think everything is finally moved and now maybe we can have some time to actually unpack! On top of all of that the hubs and I both have really bad sinus infections so we feel like crap! I've been missing blogging here.. just been a lack of time to do it! I will be back soon and already have my first rant planned.. has something do with gas prices.. and Obama, heh heh!!

Be back soon! xo

P.S. I know you missed me! :o)

Boo Hoo!!!

Soo, the other day I was looking through my stats when I noticed I had some traffic generated from a link that I hadn't seen before. I went to check it out and it was a blog that reviewed this very blog! However, it wasn't a very good one and I think I shall cry! *waaaah*..

Thought I would give my two cents back on the review. First of all, the review stated that this blog is boring and I need a better layout. Was also stated that I need to post more often. Hmm, well, first of all, this blog is more like a personal blog where I just post about any random thing that I feel like posting about, therefore, if you find it boring, I really don't care; don't read it!

I know the layout is a bit boring, just a plain old blogger blog, right?? I don't really have the time to mess around with designing a new layout for this or paying someone to do it for me. To be honest, I would rather have someone interested in my blog because of the content not because of the layout. Believe me, I've seen a lot of nice looking blogs with snoozers for posts! I've also seen some somewhat boring looking blogs with very interesting information throughout the blog. What's that old saying? Oh yes, I think it's something along the lines of "don't judge a book by its cover". Did I get that right?? *grins*

Yes, I would LOVE to be able to post more often! I would post every day if it was possible, but you see, I have three children aged 5 years and younger whom I have to take back and forth to school every day. I also work and am going to school myself. I'm lucky that I'm able to get dishes finished let alone blog every day! If you can give me 5 more hours in the day, maybe that would be possible! Not everyone has the pleasure of having enough free time to blog every day or every other day at that!

Anyway, I don't know why this blog reviewed me, but good or bad it still got me some new hits, so thanks a ton!!

On another note, well, sort of, leading from the "needing posts more often" thing, it may be awhile before I post here. Have a busy weekend coming up with Easter, then we are going to Tennessee next week for a week to visit my sister in law and her husband. I'm soo excited, I love road trips and we have so many fun things planned! Then we are moving the first week of May and I still have lots of packing to do. I will try to post here when I get a chance.. To those of you who are NOT bored with this here blog, thanks for sticking around!

P.S. Tomorrow's my birthday. I'm so depressed. Why is it then when you are young you can't WAIT for your birthday to get here? Then the older you get, the more depressing it is when it comes around?? Ack!
