Post 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without

Here are a few things that I could easily live without...
~People who pretend to be someone or something that they are not.
~Ignorant people! People who are not open minded or closed off to new outlooks.
~People who judge
~Mosquito's
~People who harm pets
~Spiders
Oh there are just too many things that I could live without. I think the number one annoying thing to me is sarcasm! I hate it when people try to use sarcasm as a form of humour! Its pathetic and uninteresting...kinda lame and boring! Drives me crazy!!

My husband!
Honestly...I will say, I could not live without my husband and I know this because I did for 2 months. It was NOT a happy time in our life...we were both in a spot where we thought our marriage was over. The experience did change alot about who I was and who we were as a couple. Thankfully we pulled through that time and managed to get our lives and marriage back on track. Those two months I had alone was spent growing as a person, I learned ALOT about myself...it was then that I decided to go back to school to become a nurse. I realized that I needed to make myself happy and stop relying on someone else to do it!
There are always good and bad in situations like a temporary seperation. I know for me...I gained a new identity, I found myself again. Once we went back into our marriage I was a little different. We both were...in a good way!
I have been with Paul since I was 18 years old, we have survived so much together in our 22 years together. I'm not sure how much of it is that I couldn't live without Paul or more...I wouldn't live without Paul. He's all I know, he's really all I've ever had. Even during the hard times...we balance eachother, we know one another like no one else in our lives. We truly have become one through these years and I couldn't see myself growing old with anyone else. Our life together is a busy one, we have been incrediably un-selfish as a couple giving our children everything. We love our family and put them first all the time.
Know that the kids are growing and becoming young adults, we are finding our time together more intimate. At times we feel like we did back in our early 20's before we had kids. Its nice! It's so weird...we still look at eachother like we did back in the day..we still love our time together, still play together and love eachother passionately. From 1989 to 2011...its been a trip, but one thing remains the same! Its our "Loves"! We think back and talk about certain years we have had, certain times we've shared together and apart...its surreal sometimes, the life we've shared! One thing is certain...I wouldn't have wanted it to be with anyone else! It's our time know...our time to once again enjoy one another! It would be a shame to not embrace that!

Post 14 → A hero that has let you down.

There have been numerous people who have let me down in life. A hero?? Not sure I really have a "superhero" type person in my life. I mean...everyone is human and everyone makes mistakes. My brother is one who has let me down incrediably. He ha chosen a different life path that doesn't include our family and I think that has been the biggest let down in my life. He lives a life that we do not agree with, and if he were allowed to live his life his way and still be a part of ours...it would literally destroy us! We have tried many things to bring him back to us, to help him and guide him. Get him the help that he needs to fight the addictions he has. He just doesn't seem to think HE has a problem, and he also doesn't realize how much he has hurt our family in the process.
My brother was a person who stood by me during some of the most difficult times, he was a solid shoulder to lean on and he was always extremely protective of me. He was closest thing I had to a "hero"..he was so reliable. Unfortunately he let other things get the best of him, he changed...it's sad, and disappointing!
I miss him....ALOT!

Post 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days.

U2 Hands down is the most important band in my life~
I have loved this band from way back...all the way back to 1984! Probably the number one song in my life is With or Without You!
I can't say for sure that this band pulled me through some hard times, because when it was rough...music was the last thing on my mind. I will say though that during times of breif periods of sadness in my life, even through arguments with friends, crushes that went no where or even problems in my marriage...U2 was the group that I would turn too! I raised my babies listening to them, they knew all the songs as infants and would sing along from the crib! I eventually had the chance to see U2 live in Toronto. My cousin works for RIM and he had 2 tickets for free. He let me have his and his wife took the other one! His wife happens to be my best friend and she happens to love U2 as well! We actually both grew up, many nights spent listening to U2 discussing boys,jobs and teenage girl things. It was a dream come true to see them~
A night to remember forever!!
