So today I went to see Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse with the older kids. It was a cute movie. I went for a walk tonight. A long hour-long walk. I'm tired. How lame is this for an entry. Well - at least it is an entry.
Here is the deep-thought of the day. Do you ever wish you had the exact right thing to say at a time that what you say matters but instead you screw it up? Well - that is me today. I think we all have trigger words. For me it is the phrase "you do realize" Can I just be the person to say THAT is not how a question is started. Please start with the basic Who, What, When, Where, and Why for a question. When someone phrases a "question" by starting off saying "you do realize" in my opinion they are NOT trying to ask a question but rather trying to establish their superiority and your inferiority in such a way that it embarrasses you. I am thrust back to my childhood when my dad would phrase questions like this to me. So - fast forward to today and I snapped at one of my children when they used that phrase and things just went south. I apologized for snapping to the child that said this but I still felt the same feelings I did 30+ years ago when my dad would use that phrase on me. I hate it. I hate the feeling of someone being domineering. So - suffice it to say my dad and I were not very close. I guess at some point in time we all have things that trigger us from our life experiences. For me I strive to be able to handle myself in every situation. I guess I failed today.
On that note I will start tomorrow anew.
