Difficult people
Well, my day started off with me not having even ONE diaper in my van when I needed one. How did THAT happen?!?! But....I got a lot of my Christmas shopping finished, YEAH!
Today, I actually did make my blog open to invited readers only, then I reconsidered. I want to leave this blog open to anyone who may come across it and learn from me and from our family's story. To that Mom considering terminating her pregnancy b/c she has just been told her unborn child may have Down Syndrome. I want everyone to know me and all the wonderful gifts I have to share with my family, my children and the world. This may not be the place for this, but what else is a journal for. People don't have to read if they don't want to. You see, I have been dealing with these difficult people for 13 long years. These people are supposed to love me, these people are supposed to support me. I'm so sorry to have to taint this blog with so much negativity today. My dad has taught me a lot about dealing with difficult people in the business world (from all his years in management-Thanks Dad!), and this is what I have learned:
Difficult people want everything, yet give nothing.
Difficult people don't appreciate anything
Difficult people criticize everything you do. Nothing is ever good enough.
Difficult people are unaware of themselves and how they affect others. They also don't realize how harmful their actions are to their own success at what they want to accomplish.
Difficult people have an excuse for everything.
In business, Eventually, you give up trying to work with them. Enough said.

oh girl...theres a story there. Im sorry anyone is trying to darken your awesome world. Im glad it is staying open, I want others to see how beautiful your blog is. Ta heck with the others. ;)
Difficult people don't realize it's the thought that counts. Difficult people can't accept compliments or criticism. Difficult people look for reasons to be angry/sad. Difficult people waste precious time by not seeking out and spending time with their loved ones. Trust me I understand...I have a few difficult people in my life too. Don't let anyone discourage the WONDERFUL, THOUGHTFUL person you are. Your family is amazing. The blog is such an accurate picture of the beautiful wife and mother you are. Cheers to NON-difficult people!! Love ya!!
Cindy, your blog is an inspiration - and if you'd kept it open only to invited members - you wouldn't have people like me to tell you that! As far as your difficult people comment - one thing that helps me is: the only opinions that matter to me are those that come from people I love and/or respect. I mean, who else REALLY matters? At the end of the day, as long as you can look in the mirror and say you did your best the first time around - then you're doing the Right Thing for you and your family. Go get 'em, Girl!
