Warning: Bad Mood

I said I wasn't going to let today bother me...but it is. Seriously, seriously bothering me...so...

Let's Get A Few Things Straight
though I have said these things over and over again, I think it's time for a refresher course...

1. I am not a mother in the sense that I have never had a child come out of my body
2. Jake is my nephew
3. I have helped raise Jake literally from day 1
4. I was a Nanny for 2 families, 9 kids in all, for almost 7 years...
5. There are lots and lots of babies in my family
6. I take care of those babies frequently
7. I have a lot of experience when it comes to children - more than a lot of new parents I have known
8. If it seems like you are asking for advice, and I have some that might be of use to you, I'm probably gonna tell ya
9. It is 100% your choice if you choose to consider my suggestions and I honestly don't care if you do or not - i'm simply telling you what has worked for me
10. If you do not wish for me to make comments on your blog, tell me or block me...it's that simple
11. On the oh so rare occurance I talk about a child that is not related to me, it's going to be because it's something I'm excited about. If you are overly concerned about your child being briefly mentioned, tell me, or password protect your blog...
12. Keep in mind I don't use last names - I too know what kinds of freaks are out there
13. I don't care how you raise your kids, as long as they are healthy, happy, and taken care of - they are yours and yours alone
14. I will never judge your parenting skills (no matter how much I may or may not disagree with them), as long as you're not beating and/or neglecting them; they are yours and yours alone and every parent is different
15. I may however compliment you if I find you to be one of those parents everyone wants to be
16. I don't know if you read my blog if you don't comment on it one way or another
17. This is MY blog, therefore, these are MY opinions...if you can't deal with that, don't read it
18. Last time I checked, freedom of speech was still a right
19. I am a very sarcastic person; I always have been...deal with it
20. That was sarcasm
21. If you don't understand my sense of humor, just remember it's likely I might not understand yours
22. Crude comments can and will come out of my mouth and/or fingers from time to time
23. I appologize if that offends you, that is not my intention
24. If I want to hurt you, offend you, or piss you off, you'll know that's what I'm doing - I'll be more than clear on that
25. Rarely do I feel the need to hurt, offend, or piss someone off, so you probably won't experience it
26. I am almost 23 years of age - so do NOT speak to me as though I am 5
27. I don't take kindly to people who act as though they are better than everyone else, whether they think they are acting that way or not
28. That was not intended for any one person in particular - I've come across many people that way in my life
29. I also do not take kindly to narrow mindedness, hypocrites, cowards, or those that are "hollier than thou"
30. Again, not adressed for any one person in particular
31. I also do not take kindly to being told someone has been praying about an issue they have with me or my actions...
32. If you have an issue with me, tell ME. I believe in God and His almighty and infinite power, but seriously, the issue is not going to be resolved if He is the only one you're talking to about it.
33. Again, if I hurt you, piss you off, offend you, or whatever, tell me about it as soon as it happens...preferably face to face. Chances are, we'll get it all worked out in a matter of minutes
