Big Mouth

Do you think these kids are a punishment?

I am a Big Mouth.  I am a Big Mouth and a Big Personality full of Big Opinions and the desire to talk about Big Controversial Subjects.

There is always a backlash.  There is always a backlash to being an Advocate.  For standing up for the underdog.  For standing up for myself.  For standing up for my children.  For talking about things people want to pretend don't exist.  Always. A. Backlash.

I was feeling good about the fact I hadn't received hate mail in almost a month!  Whoop!  That is exciting for me!!!  Sure, I have received very little positive feedback for my blogs, but there is something about receiving NO negative feedback!  It makes a person feel like they are actually getting somewhere!  My blog reaches many people per day and gets quite a few hits.  It always surprises me that I don't receive many comments considering how many folks actually peek at it.  Sometimes it surprises me how many people plain refuse to read it, lol.  But many people read it and I rarely hear what they think anymore.

So anyways, I have been feeling pretty good about the lack of hate mail.  Life has been chaotic and stressful for me lately so I have been letting it all pour out in my blog.  When you put your heart and soul out for everyone, negativity is always a bummer.  Today I was digging through my email file looking for an email someone let me know they sent me.  I sifted through my Inbox and found nothing.  I decided to hit up my Junk folder.  I never go in there because it is usually full of ad's for erectile dysfunction.  Low and behold, there was the email I was looking for as well as about two dozen others that did not look like Spam.  I moved them all to my Inbox to look at this evening.

Tonight when I opened them, I could have vomited.  Nasty, nasty emails were in there from what looks like people in my own community.

"You sound like an idiot."

"Your children were given to you by God to teach you a lesson."

"Our community does not need a person like you tainting it."

"You wonder why people don't invite your children to things, look at who their mother is."

"Why did you even move here."

"You had better start praying."

"You don't want to go to church?  The church doesn't want you in it."

"People do not support you.  You are a joke to people."

This is not all.  This isn't even a fraction of what I have received by private email or Facebook message over the last couple of years.  It is always painful and I never get used to it.  I rarely get something positive, but when I do I save it, treasure it and appreciate it.

I will never stop doing what I am doing.  I will never shut up.  Cowards will not get me down.  I will keep writing and keep speaking up.

A wave is created by a ripple.

I refuse to sit back and believe my children should be institutionalized, ignored or avoided.  There will come a day where whether or not you like it, my kids are going to sit by yours and play.  You are NOT going to tell me I made my children this way by my lack of belief in your religion.  You are NOT going to avoid eye contact with me anymore.

I am going to keep writing about how everyone has the right to believe in what they damn well want to.  You cannot tell someone they have to believe in what you believe in just because the real world makes you uncomfortable.  Open your eyes.  There is a huge world out there outside of Minnesota and North Dakota!

I am going to shout as loud as I can that Gay Marriage Fucking Rocks!  That's right, I totally swore.  Do you know why?  Because I am mad as Hell!

A woman has the right to choose what she wants to do with her own body.  You don't like it?  Don't follow her lead!  Start up the adoption process and focus on the thousands of older children, teens and young adults  who have grown up in the system and are past the cutsie stage waiting for forever families.

Interracial relationships are golden and produce what I consider the most gorgeous babies on Earth.

I am a Democrat.  Republican candidates don't give a rats-ass about my kids.

Romney Delegate Says Children with Disabilities are God’s Punishment for Abortion

Romney Plan Cuts Medicaid $1.26 T Over 9 Years (Hey... that's us!  And your parents!  And your grandparents!)

There are so many more but it just makes me angry to look at it!

So here is what I have to say in a nutshell... if you have positive things to say or you like my blog or you appreciate the fact that I am putting it all out there, by all means let the world know :)  If you hate it or oppose, please leave a comment for the whole class to see.  Don't be a basher.  

Remember that I have a life outside of this blog.  You make think I am a rotten person, but I am a rotten person that supports and loves everyone.  I do it with a stress level you can never imagine and about 10 hours of sleep a week.  And I do it smiling.

*Many more Blogs to come.  No one is going to hold me back from standing up for whomever needs me.

They are the reason I do what I do.  Be honored I let you in to see our lives.
