What doesn't kill you......

I feel that right now, my little family (including unborn Jackson Delbert) is pretty darn perfect.

Our cat, Mattie, is finally seeming to use the litter box consistently instead of using Jeremy's room which is fantastic. She hates our other cat Felix and likes to torture us with this gesture whenever she feels she's been wronged. Thank goodness she seems to be happy again....for now, anyway...

Jeremy is doing great in school (after a very rocky incident a month or so again) and is doing equally well in his sports endeavors; soccer, baseball and flag football. He appears genuinely excited about his new baby brother coming later this summer and asks to feel him kick every now and then.

Justin is doing well, also, with work and softball and such. He seems happy and content with life, like me. We have our occasional, stupid fights over nothing, usually when one of us is just in a bad mood and feels like fighting. But after almost 13 years of togetherness, one almost 12 year old and almost 11 years of marriage, I couldn't imagine my life without him. He's truly my guy in every way. I'm so excited and in awe of his decision to have another child together, some days it doesn't seem real.

But it is and that part of my life is great. Then I have my friends....

And here is why I titled this blog "What doesn't kill you...."

One of my best friends, whose family I count as part of my own, is going through something that no one should ever have to. My bf's husband made a boneheaded mistake, but the revenge hungry, witch hunting people involved have turned their life upside down. What has been said and accused is so far from the truth, it's laughable & appalling. But that hasn't stopped those people from all out lying about a situation making sure it hit the media and everywhere else they could get their voices to. The husband lost part of his job, was followed with cameras, lost his coaching position which is his passion, my bf is starting to lose it (not really, but sounds funny) and the kids were bothered at school (by teachers, no less...great example there adults). I look at what has happened to them (there's a trial set for down the road) and wonder if it will make them stronger. I'm sure it will as it hasn't killed them yet. I feel such sadness over seeing all this first hand knowing that people really do exist that just want to hurt other people, or at least that's what it feels like. What started out as some minor incident has gotten blown so far over the edge that all you can say when you know the truth is WTF! What is wrong with people? Why do some feel the need to just tear down other people no matter the cost? Are you really that unhappy with your life that you want to destroy everyone else's? Seriously people, get a life of your own and leave this family be.

Ok, that's all for now. I've worked myself up and am mad and having nothing productive to write anymore. And don't get me started on my other bf and her waste of space husband. There just isn't enough room on this blog f0r me to elaborate on this subhuman piece o' crap, so I'll save it for another day. :-)
