Yesterday on the facebook page my aunt scolded me for my potty mouth.
I know I swear a lot.
I know I abuse the f-word even more than I do the smiley face.
But cut me some slack.
It’s the only thing I have left.
I don’t smoke (anything) anymore.
And while I profess my love for wine, I don’t drink half, a quarter, or even a tenth as much as I used to.
Or want to.
Or these days, need to.
I don’t take pills.
Or gamble.
Or have a sex addiction.
A shopping addiction.
Or even a pinterest addiction.
Hell, heck, I don’t really even have a food addiction anymore.
I spend all day with my kids.
Using words like so, and really, and very.
I know there are probably lots of you who do all of this easily.
But for me to make it through the day, taking care of multiple children, without smoking,
or drinking,
or binging,
or swearing…
Well, that’s a pretty &^%$ing major accomplishment.
When “Use your words” comes out of my mouth,
“Would you just stop fucking crying???” is what’s going through my brain.
After storing up a whole days worth of that shit, it’s gotta come out somewhere.
So I start my day off with the blog.
And I cleanse myself.
A few fuck that’s.
Or you’ve got to be fucking kidding me’s.
Some what’s up with that shits?
And then I’m ready to start my day.
Curse-free.
If I find myself about to blow, well, I post a quick status update.
One little fuck.
Or shit.
And then I’m good at least until bedtime.
So yeah.
If you ask me, that’s pretty freaking good.
I know it’s not very ladylike.
And possibly offensive.
So please pardon my francais.
Believe me, cleaning up the potty mouth is on my list of things I could change about myself in order to become a better person.
But it’s nowhere near the top yet.
One thing at a time people.
One fucking thing at a time 🙂

Lol, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a few f* bombs here and there. With that many children you have to find a way to get through each day with your sanity, plus it’s funny! Keep it up, we enjoy it!

Susie,
Thank you! Your language is, in at least in part, what drew me to you, along with your frankness.
Some guys swear all the time, at least when they aren’t in the company of their moms (some do that and I think it shows a lack of respect… unless they learned it from her). However, when a woman swears during her normal conversation with me, it endears me to her by making me think she is comfortable enough in my presents to let me see her true self. I know that you don’t know me personally but it makes me feel that you are comfortable in your own skin to let others into your life. There is not enough of that going on in the world.
Also, to be a little more polite (that is, if you want to be, not that I think it is necessary) or cute about it, you could always take the time to spell it out. IE: “eff you see kay” or “ess aitch eye tee.” LOL.
Keep up the good, no, GREAT work. Yours is the most important job in the world.
Cheers,
Jerry
PS, I’m the second of seven so I know what you are going through. I actually helped my mom raise some of my younger siblings… at least I think I did.
