Question 128 ~ Spouse

How old were you and your spouse when you married?  What were your hopes and dreams?

             

Once again I could take the easy way out ... since I'm not married... but I won't.  Most of you know I've been married more then once.  (I once told a guy I had just met, when he asked me if I was married or ever married  "no not now, but heck I get married at the drop of the hat".. he took his hat off and dropped it on the floor..great memory)

Okay back to the answer I'm going to answer this about my first husband, here. I do this in a notebook too and copy most of it word for word.. but on questions like this I'd answer for all husbands LMAO!! Just so someday maybe my great grand children will read it and know all about me, the good the bad and the ugly :)

I was 18, he was 21.  I was so young I had little hearts in my eyes and big dreams.  Together forever... house.. 4 kids (two boys then two girls) a cat and a dog... a business together. We'd talk about all of that... we had big plans, wonderful dreams.. dreams that went away... however we are still friends.  I love him ..not in the same way... as I'm not "in love" with him.  But for a long time he was my world.  We still talk about our old dreams and laugh.  Some days I miss him being my husband... but then the reason we split up come into my head ... I know we both grew up and are totally different people now, had we waited to get married maybe we would have made it.  But then I wouldn't have the other husbands LMAO

      

Okay you know how to do this.. leave your answer in the comment section or your journal linking back ... or as a couple readers do, email it to me.  (your answers are wonderful you should post them here! but hey it's your choice

Question 127 ~ feel good question

What makes you feel good?

So many answers to this one. But I'm going to keep it short for now (as hell broke loose at my home last night..my other journal has the story and picture)

What makes me feel good, my family, love, real friendship.. you know the ones that you can count on to be there for you  and they know they can count on your right back. 

My kitty Mak... don't think I could get some days without him.. and he is a cat with a sense of humor.

My children... I love them no matter what.  My kids keep me strong, I keep them loved and cared for.  My kids are my rock. And I hope I am their's.

I could go on and on.. the sun.. spring... having no plans (lazy days no demands), warm bubble baths...Music, flowers..Good question for me today... I need to look at what makes me happy and what I'm thankful for. Some days I swear this jar knows what questions to put in my fingers.

And lastly a warm bowl of mashed potatoes! Yep curled up in my bed watching a "chick" movie eating mashed potatoes. 

           

Well if you'd like to answer this question.. you know how this works by now right? ;)

Cleaning up the journal jar...

Question 126 ~ Education

Did you receive an education other than in school?

I didn't really understand this question at first.  I thought does it mean college.. but that's school.  lol Blonde moment there!

I would have to say I get some sort of education every day.

There was a time I lived on the streets.. I was young and learned a lot the hard way. I also learned there is no shame in where you've been or came from as long as you've come up.. bettered yourself.   I've also learned things from my parents, sister, aunts, and other family members. Love, acceptance, understanding... and seeing there are three sides to every story.. one person's, the other person's and somewhere in there the whole truth.

I think I learned best from a few new friends... they taught me honesty, forgiveness, and understanding.  They taught me to look at myself.. to see who I am and what I really wanted to be.  I learned the hard way most of my life and this was no different... I learned not to "go with the crowd" to stand up for what I feel is right... to speak up when I feel something is wrong.  To not hang on to someone else's thinking.. to be my own person and to allow myself to have my own opinions .. that opinions are not right or wrong.. they are just simply that opinions.  I've learned so many things from so many people.  Life isn't black and white... People will hurt you and you can learn from that.  Guess what I'm saying is education in school is reading, writing and math... out of school it's how we live.. who we are.. how we define ourselves.  You just can't learn that from a book.. you have to experience it. And sometimes it's painful.  But in the end... I feel if I learned something from it, it was worth the pain.

 

You can answer this in the comment section or your own journals please link back though... I am looking forward to reading other people's interpretation of this question.

Question 125 - In laws

How did you first meet your in laws?

At first I was going to just say I'm no longer married ... but I thought about the first time I met my first husband's family.  I was very young when I got married ... seems a long long time ago. They had invited me over for a picnic and they had BBQ ribs and corn on the cob. I don't know about you... but I don't like eating messy foods in front of people let alone the first time I meet someone.  Maybe it was a test lol.  Yes I had BBQ sauce on my face and in my hair.  I was a mess.  I laughed at myself and we all laughed ... turned out the loved me. 

 

If you're not married you can tell about how you met your S.O's family...
