Down Home Girl

Here I am in bed at 8:30 on the night before my birthday, with a twisted stomach and achy throat. I was sick at this same exact time last year, I remember spending my day on the couch watching Paula Deen cook something, with butter no doubt... Paula Deen, gotta love her but dang, that girl's face is on everything these days isn't it? I hate when good things become commercial and mainstream don't you?
Anywho, things are strange this year... separation seems to be the word of the day for a lot of people that I know. One man's wife took his two children and left without a word, he can't see them until they go to court. A good friend of mine is being sued for full custody by a man who's completely gone off his rocker and decided that she no longer deserved to be not only his partner in life but his son's mother. What is going on with this world? Nothing is sacred anymore, no morals, values, compassion, empathy.... no nada. Selfishness is on the warpath I guess, but I have to believe that karma is a MUCH bigger bitch than I could ever even think of being, and we all know that says a lot! lol I have to believe that the good guy wins in the end or what's the point?
Turning 44, no real significance to that number except that I remember reading somewhere a long time ago, maybe on a fortune from a cookie or something, that four is supposed to be my lucky number. Maybe they're right because 43 totally bit the big one. I wore my big girl panties most of the time but man, it was hard sometimes when all I felt like doing was falling apart.
One of my aunt's told me that I was born during the first snow fall of the season at sometime around 5 in the morning. A time when, in any other situation, would be the most peaceful, quiet time of the day. Although, knowing me, I probably came out screaming at full lung capacity if it was any indication of future times. lol Boy, Mama didn't know what she was in for with me, I assure you, or she would have, without a doubt, begged them to take me back and trade me for a quieter version... bless her heart. I'm sorry Mom, for all of the trouble that seemed to come into this world attached to me!
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and reading, I didn't really have a point to talk about except that it's a strange birthday, and that I wanted it documented somewhere because I'm anxious to see what's going on in a year from now. Look how much has happened in just one short year since my last birthday! GEES! lol
Okay so I'll leave you with this, just because I like it and maybe you will too....
