What do we women think sometimes?

This is a trivial topic, actually, the topic is not what is trivial, but the characters and how all women can relate to them are. Kat von D is dating Jesse James - yes, remember the one that slept with almost every tatooed stripper out there while married to Sandra Bullock? She claims "he is the one" . And I wonder, why oh why do us women with do this to ourselves?

I teach my daughter, almost daily, that she has to love herself. I teach my son that he should not lie to anyone when he's in any type of relationship, because it is unfair to the person, and to himself. And my kids are not even teens yet...they're just tweens!

Believe me, I understand the thrill and excitement of dating a bad boy. I married one. But the idea of being with someone that - as almost the whole world knows - has commitment issues is another deal. I will cut James some slack since we can all make mistakes, how many mistakes where there (more than 5) ? But what has me thinking the most is how we at some point or another put ourselves out there - like one of those white dressed guys in the festivals at San Fermin - we enjoy the thrill of the game, but know that we might get rammed by a 100 lb bull - with absolutely no mercy.

Where do our lines blur between this might burn to I'm burning? Is the need to feel accepted, feel that we CAN change someone. I'll make him right, I'm the one who's going to fix whatever's wrong. ", we might think. It's not that simple, hopefully in some cases it works, but this one makes me feel all kind of wrong. Watch out girl, you might be walking right into the path of an oncoming train!

3 down, 4 to go

Wonderful little creatures my pups. Thank God for kids! I helped my neighbour out taking care of her 3 beautiful daughters, the smallest one the most energetic - and thank goodness all kids love puppies. So, my kids and their friends helped keep the pups in line and help me out with them...and in the middle of everything creating memories for the kids!
