The wrong neighborhood

It happened so fast...
Like by a thief with a knife
You penetrated my heart with your blade
And ran off with my peace.
As I cried and bled,
Feeling the pain envelope me,
I thought to myself...

How could I be so stupid?
I knew I was in the wrong place.
This is the "Neighborhood of Regrets".
Whys and If Onlys lurking on every corner
What did I expect to find walking down this street?

Alone, I struggled to catch my breath...
But catch it I did...
I felt as the air went in and out
I rocked to the rhythm of my lungs
Even as I sobbed...
The pain subsided enough for me to see...something.
At the end of the street...
Through tear swollen eyes I saw it
Through a damaged spirit I sensed it

The way things were...
Reality...
The place I had come from...
The truths I had forgotten in that moment of pain...
The roads that led me to this spot.
There you stood triumphant...
But your hands were empty!

My tears dried up and the bleeding ceased...
I remembered...
The past is past.
There's nothing that needs to be done...
I am whole.
I simply made a mistake...
and took a wrong turn.

I got up on my feet...
A little weak...
A little woozy...
But better now,
Much better!

It's time to find a different path to walk...

I'mnotlikeeverybodyelse!

When my kids and I go to the mall we like to visit a Tee-Shirt store aptly named "Coolest Tees".

I have passed on my weird sense of humor to my demon spawn so we enjoy looking at all the sarcastic sayings proudly displayed on various colors of 100% cotton.
So over the weekend we took a little trip to "Coolest Tees" and here are our favorite sayings with some photobucket favorites just for decoration and, of course, commentary:


***

"I live in my own little world...it's okay...they know me here."
***

"I'mnotlikeeverybodyelse."
***

"Mess with me and you mess with the whole trailer park."
***

(This is daughter, Roz's, motto!)
***

"Take my advice...I'm not using it!"
(This is exactly why advice was meant to be given away...
because you never really use it yourself)
***

"You caught me at a bad time, I'm awake!"
***

"If idiots could fly this place would be an airport!"
***


***

"I feel better now that I've lost all hope."
(hahahahaha! Yes, my humor...she is dark!)
***

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall, I'm my mother after all."
(Can I get an "amen" somebody?)
***

"To save time, let's just assume I know everything"
(I don't really understand why this is funny...it's just TRUE!)
***


***

"Don't piss me off, it's not like I need another felony conviction"
***

"Immature, unorganized, lazy and loud...but I'm fun"
***

"My therapist wants me to share my feelings...you dumb piece of shit."
(One of my friends is gonna LOVE this one)
***


***

"Heavily medicated for your safety"
***

"If all else fails...lower your standards."
***

AND MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE...
Because I believe this to be 100% true, true,
TRUE in my experience

"If you want to make God laugh...tell him your PLANS!"

(and feel free to replace the word "God"
with your deity, higher power, and/or pronoun of choice...
it still works!)
