Funny How Things Change.

        We all have this idea in our heads about how our lives will turn out, the way that we picture them to be. What if I told you that at least 50% of the time, the life that we pictured doesn't turn out. It's funny because a good chunk of the time there are those that follow the path that they have pictured themselves to be on, but if your like me your life definitely didn't turn out how it was supposed to, well maybe not in the correct order.
I always pictured myself as being a graduate with a  Doctorate degree, then getting married, then babies and the rest the falls in between like a house, fancy car etc.
That's not how it turned out, for one. I had my first child, then I got engaged, earned my Associates degree this past July and gave birth to twins in September. Still not married. Fighting to make it though Bachelors classes and finding a schedule that fits three boys.
My plans have changed and I know that a lot of you as my readers can relate to this.

       You have to stop and remember to look back on the little things that you have accomplished because even if your plans did not fall through you still worked your ass off and you are alive to see another day. The world is full of danger, to survive it daily not only physically but mentally and emotionally is a accomplishment. There are those type of people that frown upon the lives that they have now, they  have coasted through unknowingly where the next day might take them. I myself did this, after my oldest was born I rode the day not making plans not knowing what I was going to be doing. I wanted some action, if any of you are moms you know the struggle, a kid equals weeding out the fake friends because your priorities have now changed. That's another thing that's funny, the way that life tends to reveal truths as the time passes, it always seems to be told. You can not hold onto a lie forever as one white lie turns into several until a riptide occurs and your tongue tied on what to say next. Why lie?
   You have to grab life by the imaginary balls kick it in to gear steer it on the direction that you chose because sitting and waiting for the "next big thing" will never happened. It's true what they say that you need to go out and get what you want, because it's not handed to us common folk. I'm saying common folk because we are the middle and poor class. We can't afford the latest virtual reality headset or have a smart home (Though the smart home sounds awesome) we make our own dreams and we set realistic goals. Maybe one day the upper classes will fall out and the common folk will rise up but until then were stuck down here on earth where we make do or fall flat on our asses. That's an advantage that we have over those that think that they are better because their status in this world makes them entitled. We have the bounce back, we get up from the fall bruised ass and all dust the dirt off and try and try again, because if we don't, we fail. Who likes to fail, cause I sure don't levelheadedness will take you a long way. It's funny how things change and most of the times that change results in a better life. I believe that most things happen for unexplained reasons but I've come to accept that as a young mother, my mind has matured before it should and I can hold myself to higher standards because of this. So I say this again, It's Funny How Things Change For The Better
