I seen on another blog where they did a listing, kind of a quick inventory of who they were, I found it interesting. Here is my version of who I am.
1. I am white – I could say Caucasian but I am seriously white, that fair skin-don’t look at legs in the winter white. There is not much to say about this item, as it is simply a fact.
2. I am female – I enjoy being female, I have never desired to be a male. I don’t find myself a feminist as I find some of their thoughts too anti-male, and too over the top of the fact we are female. I do believe that a female deserves equal pay for equal work. I believe we should be able to obtain credit as a man even while married. I believe that as a female we are often the stronger sex, not physically but emotionally as we often tend to the house, the kids, and all of the rest of life’s curve balls. I personally don’t care for most females, never have I usually relate better to males. I feel most females lead their lives emotionally opposed to logically, and I find this habit an irritating trait of the female population.
3. I am heterosexual – I believe that God created man & woman, with man & woman we create children; there is no male-male or female-female way to create children naturally so therefore God never intended for it to be any other way. I am not blatantly anti-homosexual; I do not picket, post signs or go out of my way to offend any homosexual. I do not believe that homosexuality is a genetic issue for the majority of the population. I believe the majority of the population has lost the moral virtues and sense of what is right and wrong simply put.
4. I am Christian – I was raised in the Episcopal Church taken every Sunday until my mother died when I was 7 years old, then by my grandparents. I believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe that God created the Heavens and the Earth. I believe that our sins will be atoned for when we die and meet our maker. I do not believe it is my duty to be judge or jury of another person’s sin, only God, our Father, has the right as judge. I do not believe our God is a punishing Father, but an understanding one allowing us to learn through our mistakes. I believe this life is simply our classroom of learning in God’s way.
5. I am honest – I have been told I am overly honest, telling someone things that surprise some people. If you need a shower or deodorant, I am one to let you know. I know some people I worked with would laugh and say a little less honesty might be nice. The problem is I grew up with a father that was a pathological liar; he lied about even the simple things like his age. I went completely the other way, because I found it hard to keep up with all the lies and stories he told, and watch out if I told someone the wrong story. I personally believe that honestly is the best policy, the truth is always so much easier to remember. With that a liar is one thing that in a person that I can’t stand or deal with.
6. I am responsible – I believe that people are responsible for their own consequences in life; it is all based on the choices one makes. If I over-extend myself financially, no one is blame but myself, it is up to me to deal with the outcome, no one else. I don’t believe in saving someone from his or her own consequences. If I save someone from their own consequences and/or choices then I take away their ability to learn, their ability for God to direct them in life. I expect my children to act responsibly, which includes living within the laws of our land, maintaining moral virtues, and simply being someone to be proud of in all aspects of life.
7. I am a worker – I believe in a days’ work for a days’ pay. There is nothing in life that is free ride. I believe we all pay our dues and/or owe for our purchases of life. No one in life is promised a bowl of cherries and/or that everything is wonderful, life is about the hard parts too, the dues we pay. This is also apparent on the daily grind, I believe everyone should have a job to do, a paycheck to earn. For the wives and mothers the daily grind is less about monetary payment and more about the respect and appreciation shown by the husband and children. I believe in the old saying my grandfather always told me, ‘idle hands are the hands leading to trouble’. I believe when one is not busy it will lead them all too often down the wrong path of life. I find it rewarding to see a job or project completed, it gives me fulfillment.
8. I am committed – when I commit to someone, I am totally committed. I will guarantee that this has not been my entire life, but an item I came to learn & understand with maturity. I am committed to my husband. I believe in the matrimony of two people the paper and words that honor that love and commitment of two people. My commitment to my husband comes from love but also respect and honor. My husband is man that also honors his commitment. He is the kind of person I can count on, day in and day out. He is a man that shows me respect, is my best friend. I do not believe that ‘living together’ can compare to the complete commitment of a marriage.
9. I am a snob – I know I am, and I seriously doubt I will change at this date. I am not a material-designer name snob; I personally could care less whose name is on my apparel or other items. I am a snob in life. I have never been to prison; therefore, I have never hung out with anyone that has. Since I pay my bills regularly, don’t do drugs, and try to be a parent to my children I don’t want to hang out with people different. I’m not hanging out with people that always have bill collectors after them, who spend free time deciding which drug is the escapism for the night, or people that think a cell phone is some sort of parenting while they tend to their own lives. I do like my house clean, I do not enjoy going to some one’s house that is dirty, I feel uncomfortable. I also believe there is proper attire for each occasion, and can be a snob regarding this.
10. I am a conservative republican – can’t you tell? I believe in George W. Bush. I believe going into Iraq was the right thing to do. I support our military troops, people that defend our freedoms with their lives every day. I don’t believe the government should give free handouts to people that will only increase our government’s size. I don’t believe the government should tell us how to live our lives, I believe the government has already meddled in our lives enough. The government does not have a right to tell me how to raise my children, including punishing them.
This part of who I am, the top 10 things at this point at least that came to my mind. I have more I want to think about and share, but we are about to leave for a court hearing regarding our middle daughter. I believe in ‘tough love’ and the rules in my house are the rules, simple. Our 17 year old daughter believes we should be more flexible to her, and show her respect – sorry but I say BS. There is more to the whole issue but that is for another post. I also believe that the best things come in life for those that wait, for patience is a virtue to be rewarded.
