In the last 10 Years

This year I attended my 10 Year reunion picnic for the ladies with children because I am just not a person that can handle big groups of people. It got me to really thinking.

In the last 10 years:

- I graduated High School
- Attended OSU
- Came home from OSU
- Got my first Apartment
- Had quasi liver failure that was defined as some "type" of hepatitis none of the normal abc.... hmmm
- Went sky diving in Vegas
- became a 911 dispatcher
- got a new car (and haven't wrecked it!)
- Got married and stayed married 5 years this year
- bought a house
- had a beautiful baby boy
and I am sure a lot more in fact I may go back and edit this list later :)

I need to be happy just being ME! and quit worrying so hard what everyone thinks of me or if they like me or if I offended them. I try so hard and I stress over it constantly... I send a text, then another... then crap... oh forget that last text..text, before you know it people think I am insane and I do it with email too. The problem is you can't take those back and people who don't know you end up thinking your NUTS and you just want them to like you!

So just be YOU!

In the end sometimes I feel like I just haven't done anything and I get down but, you know I have done a lot and I need to remember that because those things I listed count.  Really peeps, sit down and write down what you have done and you will be suprised... Sometimes it is hard for me to remember just to change clothes in a day but, if I can just remember I got the big things accomplished and I turned out all right... It is all GOOD and people will just like me for me and if they don't well... they shouldn't be my friend anyway!

I feel used by Fixya goers

So a while back I put on my blog that I had the instructions to the Simplicity Crib that had gone out of service. I thought I was doing a great thing for people. However, I never hear thanks or I appreciate it. Everyone just pops on here and then takes what they want and leaves.

STICK AROUND PEOPLE and SAY THANKS!!!

This blog has been clicked on using Fixya.com over 600 times and I think I have gotten 10 thank you's and no followers. I am not sure what I expect but, I know I went to a lot to get those instructions considering I don't OWN that crib and friend did.

How do you bloggers handle it when people just pop on and take free downloads or ideas and never say a word about it? I am a blog commenter and I always say thanks.. I just don't get it.
