Your life is what you make it!!

Any resemblance to persons living or dead, should be plainly apparent to them and those who know them. Identification with actual persons, places, buildings and products is purely intended especially, if I am kind enough to have provided their real names and, in some cases, their phone numbers. All events described herein actually happened, though on occasion I have taken certain, very small, liberties with chronology, because that is my right afforded to me by the first amendment. Any persons who take offense to this post have the given right, though it will not change the fact that the event took place and are expressed in the matter I see fit.

So the title of your life is what you make it, is just what it sounds like. We all have our moments and we all have our days. We are all broken in some fashion or another. We all have things we struggle with on a daily basis. With that being said. I juggle my hubby being away for work, for a year. All while raising our two girls (7yrs & 4yrs) and partially raising a friend's little boy, who is 2yrs old. I get up at 630 during the week, get my oldest off to school, get my youngest up, fed, dressed and off to preschool by 9. Then I get myself dressed and head to the gym with some friends to try and get myself in shape and healthier. Being lazy and not losing weight has hit me in a way I don't like, so I am trying to get my butt in shape. I then come home, shower and eat, run errands if I have time before picking my youngest up from preschool by 12. Head home and fix us lunch, then await on the little boy. He usually has lunch before being dropped off, so I give him a snack when my youngest has hers. Then a couple hours later the oldest gets home, she does homework, I check it and then shortly after I start working on dinner. After dinner is bath time and getting kiddos in bed and the little boy to sleep. Once they are all asleep I work on homework, I go to school online. Once his daddy comes to pick him up, which I save dinner for him too, they head home and I get ready for bed, which is usually between 11-12 at night. The next day I rinse and repeat till the weekend, which I do homework on saturday as well. All the while I keep my house clean, clean clothes in our dresses and closets. Bills get paid, groceries fully stocked in pantry, freezer and fridge. I have more on my plate than I need. Do I complain how much my life sucks?? NO. Because my life doesn't suck, sure I am exhausted all the time and barely get any sleep, but my life is what I make of it. My life is full, my life is busy, my life is mine and it's awesome!! 

There are those out there that use their struggles and battles as an excuse to not keep their house clean, clothes clean, good meals cooked. They don't take care of themselves or their family members and then want to complain they are tired when they clearly have done nothing but sleep all day and left their child to their own devices. I realize people have issues and mental illnesses, but that shouldn't be your only excuse for not get your lazy ass up and doing something to make your life better and more productive!! I battle with Anxiety every day and it's a real struggle when you have a super full plate like I do or more full than that. They want to blame others for their unhappiness or problems instead of blaming the real culprit which is themselves. Then sit there with their mental issues and suicidal tendencies, and say their only reason for living is their child, yet has on multiple occasions tried to off themselves while said child was with them. I am sorry but if you really meant that or gave two craps about said child then you never would've tried anything and instead got help and stuck to it. 

Your life is what you make of it. If you feel your life is total crap, then you know what to do right?? Get off your ass and change it!! No one and I mean no one has control over your life but you!! If you need help, seek it!! If you just need a good cry and vent, call up your closest friend or loved one and do it!! If it's situational, change it!! Take control of your life and quit blaming others when you are the reason you think your life is crap!! Don't like what I wrote, don't read it. I will not apologize for my opinions or my thoughts. Just like I wouldn't expect you to agree 100% with what I wrote. We are all unique in our ways and that's an awesome thing!!
