Wait, what? I thought Alaska was that place in those books...you know the ones, the kids climb into a wardrobe and come out in this crazy place with weird wildlife and it's always winter and never Christmas...?
Maybe this is why I should have been paying attention in school.

Well that's just nonsense. Everyone knows Australia is the place parents use to scare their kids into behaving-
"If you don't eat all your vegetables, the AUSTRALIANS will come and take you away"
Dang, maybe that's Germany I'm thinking of. I'm so confused.
Y'know, in relation to my mother, I was a submissive child. I'm quick to believe her hurtful words and very slow to fight back or stand up for myself. I never threw moody tantrums as a teenager, in fact it was my mother who did such things.
But..tonight I was not in the mood for her insults, accusations, and irrational tirades. Things got so heated that for the first time I did something that felt very...immature. -.-
I stormed out the room while she was yelling at me and locked myself in my room. *sigh* pray for me. I know that wasn't a very adult reaction, but I just couldn't take it tonight.

Sometimes removing yourself from an impossible situation is the most mature thing you can do.
Meant to say "first time in a LONG time". Not "first time". It's definitely not the first time I've let myself react rather than just sit quietly and take everything she throws at me. :/
I hope that's the case. I'm definitely feeling calmer now and it stopped the fighting, but I think I'm going to pay for it in the morning. And my first thought when I locked myself in here was "gosh, really? That felt like something a teenager would do".

I wish I had gills.
My nose is stuffy and my throat hurts, so breathing is a lot of no fun right now (though now I think about it, breathing isn't exactly fun even when it's not no fun...uh...yeah, that).
Anyway, I think having gills would kill two fish with one stone here- they would make breathing bearable AND fun.

Steam. Breath in some steam. Either crank up a hot shower and close the bathroom door and sit in there, or stand in front of the stove with some boiling water. Once it boils you can turn it lower so it just maintains and isn't so hot.

Alright so I'm adopted, and yes at thirty years old I finally thought of this... I have brothers and sisters like blood relatives I've probably never met. So i talked to my parents(adoptive) and they preceded to tell me things that just ruined me.
Like my mom was 17 when she got pregnant and hid the pregnancy from her parents for 7 months. When it came out they sent her to live with relatives in Jacksonville, Florida, where I was adoipted at. Come to find out my birth mother is from Charlotte, NC...a place i lived from 6-26 years of age yet no one ever thought it relevant to tell me my birth mother was from that city. I could have passed on her on the street or in a mall and never known. So now I'm looking for her and currently trying to find a lawyer to unlock the adoption papers.

Wow Naut, that's heavy stuff. I hope you're able to find your mother. Hopefully that will help a lot with the wondering. I'm sorry your parents never told you she was from your area.
Yeah, I can see that being pretty earth-shattering.

I am looking for my Aunt that was put up for adoption in 1968, I've joined a couple of adoption pages on Facebook. Others on those pages have had some really good results, they have search angels that will help you find someone for free. You might want to check some out if you haven't already, good luck!

Morning. Gross.
My son came over to the table where I sit and have my coffee or paint or glitterize stuff. He stood there staring around with a really disturbed expression on his little face. Finally, I asked him what was wrong...
He let out this huge sigh, threw his hands up in the air, and said "There's way too much glitter, Mom! There's sparkles EVERYWHERE! You have to get the vacuum and get rid of the sparkles."
And then he walked away.

I bought half a gallon (2 L) of ice cream thursday morning. I've already eaten half of it. If I don't cut back on my ice cream consumption I won't have any left for my birthday. In other news I went through the free book bin at church this morning and got some new books. Of course I still have a few on my shelf that I haven't read yet. Is book gluttony possible?
Oh book gluttony is definitely possible. Its when we have an obsession with "a new teaching". There is nothing wrong about wanting to be taught, or learn something new, but when I get to the stage of reading 7 books at the same time, it is as if I am too impatient with the one I am reading, I don't want to miss something "new" in another book. One way of reducing the number of books I read was to start reading classics, i.e. Christian material written more than a hundred years ago. It is virtually impossible to read one page of those books without stopping and meditating on it, whereas with today's Christian books, its easy to read a few chapters, or even the whole book, in a day or two. Classics which have blessed me:
~ Dark night of the Soul, by St John of the Cross
~ The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis
~ The God of all Comfort by Hannah Smith
All of these are available for free online, so that is great. On the road or on my phone I listen to the podcasts so I get through a book much faster than traditional reading.
