Starting Young

Isabel went to the doctor today for her 6 month check-up.  The first nurse gave her one of those little cardboard books on counting.  She LOVED it.  She dropped it and so I put it in her car seat and she started screaming at me.  She's gonna love to read like her mama and her grama.  She's been clawing at her ears lately to the point that she makes them bleed, so the doctor checked them.  He was holding her head down, I was holding her arms out of the way and he was trying to see inside her ears.  This girl was screaming at the top of her lungs and she was the color of a marichino cherry.  The doctor says, "She's got some pretty strong opinions!"  Haha, she sure does!  Like mother like daughter.  And then she seriously glared at him for the rest of the appointment until he left the room.  When the nurse came to give her the vaccinations?  Oh.My.Goodness.  It's always the same poor nurse and every time, she sticks the needles in, slaps on the band-aids, and takes off.  Oh, but she never forgets to say "Have a nice day!"..........Oh, you too, lady.  So, here's some adorable pictures of my extremely opinionated daughter.

Pressure Cooker

Sooo I started this blog as an outlet, and it's not doing a very good job.  Partly because I don't like to offend people, and a lot of stuff that goes on in my head, could be extremely offensive.....to some people.  I had all planned out what I was going to type and now the Kardashians are on The Talk and so I'm kind of distracted and I think uhhhhh........................................Okay TV is off for the time being.  That was probably the hardest 3 sentences I've ever written.  So, anyway, back to me being offensive.  Back when I was all innocent I would feel very uncomfortable around foul language or when people were talking about some subjects.  Now that I'm pretty much corrupted I'm not really bothered by anything, with the exception of bullies and racism.  But now I'm all 'grown up' and if some of that is going on, I'll be the first to speak up and tell the ignorance to shut it's face.  If I can make the effort to change the words I use and the topics I speak about when I'm around people that would be offended, other people can to.  Come on people.

Here's the problem; when I choose to edit myself for the sake of other people's feelings, all of that other stuff builds up and I need to let it out somewhere that I won't be worried about bothering someone.

Example A: You know those pressure cookers that people use to can vegetables, or whatever it is they want to can?  Okay, if you leave one of those unattended and the pressure gets to high, all those glass bottles full of green beans are just gonna blow up and make a huge mess all over everything.

Example B: Writing Example A added to the pressure when I had to go back and edit it.

Also, for some reason, I don't mind if strangers know all my business, but sometimes I find it a little irritating and awkward when my family knows everything.  And it's not like this is a new development.  I pretended like I wasn't boy crazy all through middle school in front of my family so that I wouldn't have to talk to them about it.

So from now on this is going to be a family friendly blog :) so that family and friends can see what's going on with my adorable baby and everything.  And I will start my inappropriate offensive blog elsewhere.  It will probably be somewhat anonymous.  But I do love showing off pictures, so I don't know we'll see what happens.

Thanks for reading, yo, and if you find yourself slightly inappropriate and you want to read my other blog when I start it let me know and I'll give you the sight.  Just know that it will be full of trash.
