hahaha happy New Year.... finally...

I am thinking that I need to remember my blog more often, every so often I do think about it but don't post, but today I decided to post my first post of the year so far. Life is far too lifey and I have a ton of stuff I would like to rant about after I talk about yarny stuff...

I've been so addicted to lace right now like always, and have like 3 shawls on the needles. All of them aren't "due" until April/May but why not get a good start. They're like Mother's Day stuff. For our anniversary I got some yarn made by Yarnia, which has a brick and mortar place in Portland but you can get yarn custom made online. Anyways, I got an alpaca/cashmere blend that is DREAMY. I made an Aeolian out of it that blocks out bigger than a full sized bed! It's so luscious I can't get over it. One of these days I'll make me something else again. I've ordered some yarn from Colourmart and am patiently waiting for that, I can't wait for it to get here.

Now for my rants:
First off- I am horrified to be an American Mom... here's my reasoning... last night we watched the news, they're talking Lawsuits against McDonalds because of toys in their happy meals. Well yeah, they've always had those, always had the same food basically since I was little. The parents are now saying that they shouldn't have toys because the food is bad for them. Okay... don't go there and get a happy meal. Don't feed your kids that food so often it leads to an obesity problem. Oh wait that's not your problem? I don't see how it's not. I'm tired of parents sitting on their hiney's wondering why their kids are the way they are. You feed your kids, you should play with your kids, YOU should be monitoring what is going on with your kid. I never understood why parents do stuff like this, or just people in general. Who eat out way too much then sue the restaurant for making them fat. Well make your own food, order something healthier, eat somewhere else. One parent on the news said my kid wants the toy so we go there.... uh, I don't know about anyone out there but my kid knows what no means. He knows when I say it I mean that we're not doing that. I don't care how cool the toy is you're not getting it. My kiddo is only 3 but he's only eaten there like twice. We eat at Sonic but he's not going to get his toy just because he got a kids meal. There's more to it than that. Yeah eat your food. Be good. But you're not getting it just because you ask for it. I don't understand that at all.... No. Cook your kids food. Don't blame it on everyone but yourself. Take accountability for yourself. Why do people not know this anymore. I thoroughly believe that I was born in the wrong time, or just raised differently then most people my age. I'm tired of all the stupid stuff they do... oh I got pregnant well man up and do something about it... oh you don't like the dad, well you slept with him?! Really? You don't want to be married? Get a divorce, don't put your family through cheating. You don't remember last night? Stop drinking/doing drugs. Man I just don't get it. I have a kid with a man I love, I would never dream of cheating on him or getting drunk or doing any drugs right now. I have a family. Yeah I'm in my early twenties but I guarantee you I'm nothing like most people my age and I'd appreciate that you get to know me before you cast your dispersions. Ugh. I feel a little better getting that off of my chest. It's just been driving me crazy!!!

I hope everyone is doing well... there's sickness running through the family right now so I hope that gets better soon! Bye everyone :D
