It is sad to say, but the older I get I realize that there is just not much use to being nice. It just seems like when you try to do something good and help someone else out, it just seems to backfire.
Case in point. A couple of months ago one of Jason's coworkers sent an email to everyone asking for donations to send her high school son on some kind of trip for his football team and the kid needed $500 for the trip. If you know Jason, he is not one to donate money. However, I think he felt for the kid who needed the money to compete with his team. So he decided to donate some money. Well, he found out today, that this same coworker who was asking for money took time off of work and went to the SUPERBOWL!
I just don't understand people. I have been burned by what seems like several people in my life this last year and a half. Two, whom I went completely out of my way for and was really trying to help. So now I have no patience for the little things, like this stupid lady who went to the Superbowl after begging for money. After a while it is difficult to not feel bitter. What's the point of being nice?
I suppose the alternative (becoming like the heartless offender) is much worse. But how lovely it would be to be heartless at least some of the time.
Enough of my ranting. I was helping Zachary and Grace with homework tonight.
And then Jayden walked in and proclaimed "I Am A Lady"

LMAO - where did that precious Jayden come from?? Oh and I agree with you about being nice. Most times it's very much appreciated but then you do something nice for a jerk like Jason's co-worker and later you're like wtf?! ~Joanie
And what a beautiful lady he is. Where does he get his makeup tips? I want to go there. I think the look is "edgy".
First thing I thought of was, how wonderful to have WON Super Bowl tickets, but I suppose that is my being naive. I know how it feels to have been "shit" upon by so called friends. I catered for a friend's daughter's wedding and she thought that since we were friends, I should give all my labor and delivery and set up as a gift. When I complained she "unfriended" me. That would have been about a $2000, wedding gift. It hurts!
I just love to help others.
Oh Jason, you are so funny!!!! Lisa, I hope that wasn't your expensive eye shadow!! It is so pretty, I think it was.... and.....I RAISED YOU TO BE NICE!!! Don't stop! Kitty.....you can help me anytime!! oxoxxoxoxo Mom
