I've said before that blogging is an excellent way to vent. Now I need to take my own advice.
I will apologize now for anyone suffering either of these two issues because I would never wish them upon anyone. However, THERE ARE CURES AND THEY CAN BE MANAGED!!!
As you know, my mother made me go to school even when I was completely sick. There was never any sympathy. Suck it up and move forward. I take that approach with everything in my life. You have to! Otherwise you wallow in self pity. My ex suffers from depression and also has diverticulitis. Both of which have gotten the better, or in his case, the worst of him this past month. The intestinal thing almost killed him and if the depression isn't addressed soon surely it will hinder his post surgical recovery. What's so completely frustrating and nauseating to me is that I have asked him for years to take care of both. Both he refused to address. In my book, that's completely selfish and irresponsible when you have 5 children.
If you need help, get it! Don't ever be afraid or embarassed to ask for it! When you choose not to, you not only hurt yourself, but EVERYONE who know's and loves you.

Swear Words
Ugh, we all slip every now and then and say "bad" words. Only to turn around and tell our children to "NEVER say that" . And then comes the day, or days in my case, when it comes back to haunt you.
I'll admit, I can have a mouth that makes a trucker look like a saint. Mostly when I'm upset or when I'm with my friends. I try very hard not to say them around my kids. Occasionally it does happen, I won't deny it. I'm also a HUGE Kid Rock fan...we all know that he ONLY says those words in his songs, never to his mother or anyone else...Right??? That's what I tell my kids anyway!
Well, my kids heard some words on the bus (urgh the bus!) and naturally came home to ask me about every swear word under the sun. After our LENGTHY conversation I said "If I ever find out you said ANY of these words outside of this car, your mother's fury will rain down like no other." Damned if some idiot driver didn't cut me off and I shout "A@#hole"...Ah well, I tried.
