Oh for Real!!!! Can’t I just get over it, let it go, and screw it baby let the good times roll already!!!
Alright, I have been working a seminar all day…which I LOVE…but the day is over, I have seen way to much football on tv tonight, and I am just in the mood to tell it like it is. And I thought since I am working a seminar, it would only be appropriate that the topic tonight be from one of the topics today. And that is Unnecessary Emotional pain.
There are 2 types of emotional pain. Necessary and unnecessary. Tonight I am focusing on the “unnecessary emotional pain”. Ya know, the pain of stressing about how horrible of a “Pintrest mom” I am. Seriously my cupcakes NEVER look like they are supposed to. Or the pain of worrying about what someone thinks of me. I can’t control how they feel…might as well not worry about it. And getting offended. Why do I even do it. Again, another person’s opinion! Can’t I just let it roll off without getting my panties in a wad. I know, I know. Some people can just be down right rude, but I am not sure how me getting all huffy and offended helps me any. And what about the pain of worrying about if Michigan will win or lose…oh wait, that’s not my pain, that’s my husbands, ‘cause frankly I really don’t care. Lol (Like I said, too much football on this evening).
Seriously though, when you think about it…who cares! Who cares how much of a not Pintrest mom I am. Who cares that I forgot Bo hasn’t had a shower in 3 days, who cares that my “neighbor” thinks my hair style is dumb or don’t know how to raise my kids. Who cares!!!! Now don’t misunderstand me. I am not talking about going all drama attitude and give people the “Oh know you didn’t” head swivel. I just mean I want to be ok with me…ugly cupcakes, bad tasting cookies(unless nestle helps me out), parenting blunders, and rest of my humanness. And as far as everyone else’s, well, they have their own unnecessary pain to decide what to do with.
After listening to Dean today, I realized some of my emotions pain and discomfort is in fact “unnecessary ”. Good news is, whether or not I keep experiencing it, is totally up to me. So I am gonna throw my head back, soak up a bit of sun or even the rain, take my socks off and walk in the grass before it snows again, and enjoy my kids and husband like there is no tomorrow! (But I will put my socks back on before I walk back into the house…my floor desperately needs to be mopped!!!!
