Just tell yourself it doesn't matter what other people say, they are not in control of your destiny.

I was told that my blog is offensive recently and to start acting like the "christian" I claim to be. THAT BURNED. I don't care how thick your skin is, the stuff people say HURTS yo.

Oh wow, I have NEVER seen a blog like this and hop...

2012-01-30T23:25:24.931-06:00

Oh wow, I have NEVER seen a blog like this and hope I never do. I'd imagine it would make me quit!

I hope your wind comes back in your sails soon. I love reading about you and your family and think it's great that you are so candid.

I have had the same feelings. Many, many times. By blogging we're being vulnerable, and that's not easy. But don't give up. Haters never win. And I'll always have your back!

Oh god, in that case, I would totally hate birds t...

Oh god, in that case, I would totally hate birds too!

And you're right, people are mean because something is missing from their lives. And I suppose I was especially vulnerable to the ugliness because I'm getting discouraged about the house not selling. The lack of interest has got me paranoid, thinking that something is wrong with us that we're the only ones who like our house.

Ah well - the meanies can stay on their side of the internet and I'll stay on mine.

just remember mean people are mean b/c they are unhappy with their lives. just remember how happy you are and what a great husband and a wonderful baby you have. you have people who love and care for you... mean people dont have what you have (or most of them dont). oh and i hate birds. i am ok with them behind an enclosure but out in the open i dont like them. i was attacked by a toucan (yes you read that right) when i volunteered at the dallas world aquarium... since them i have hated birds that are not behind a an enclosure

I haven't read any of these sites but I LOVE yhl and pioneer woman so anything I read won't change that. I don't care if she doesn't write her own blog anymore or makes loads l cash her recipes ROCK!

I'm so glad I haven't found these websites...

2012-01-30T18:15:28.331-06:00

I'm so glad I haven't found these websites. I guess we just have to remember that we enjoy reading each other's blogs, we have lives to write about and people who are interested, and THEY obviously have nothing better to do. That sounds so lame, but I am serious. If someone told me they spent the night ripping apart other peoples' blogs, it would be a red flag that this person has nothing to live for. Whatever. You just ignore them and keep writing!

That's actually really funny. :-)

2012-01-30T10:20:54.087-06:00

That's actually really funny. :-)

Ugh! I hate mean bloggers! Seriously. Whatever hap...

2012-01-30T10:20:48.786-06:00

Ugh! I hate mean bloggers! Seriously. Whatever happened to "if you don't like someone, just stay away?" That's what I was taught. Annoying. I'm sorry that mean bloggers are getting you down. :(

As for the who hates birds? Kristin is TERRIFIED of them. It's funny. Jake and I text her pictures of birds. We're funny.

Ugh! I hate mean bloggers! Seriously. Whatever hap...

2012-01-30T10:11:39.695-06:00

And it wasn't just YHL. There are entire sites devoted to The Pioneer Woman and how much she sucks. I read that one and it was like finding out there's no Santa Claus. I don't know why it bothered me that she's a gazillionaire with a full staff and probably doesn't even write her own blog anymore, but it really did.

All that garbage just about ruined the Internet for me.

Yeah, that's the one that started it. It's...

2012-01-30T09:58:27.225-06:00

Yeah, that's the one that started it. It's just really depressing to see how ugly we as human beings can be.

I'm guessing one of the blogs you saw was YHL....

2012-01-30T09:11:04.932-06:00

I'm guessing one of the blogs you saw was YHL. That one made me mad b/c John and Sherry are like distant cousins that I've never met! lol I enjoy them so much and had no idea there were so many blogs devoted to making mean comments about them until their post last week. But I like the approach of not giving an ear to negativity and living in positivity in order to drown out the meanies out there. :-)

I don't understand it either. Why do they want...

2012-01-30T07:30:46.653-06:00

I don't understand it either. Why do they want to be mean? Where does it get them to shred things that I like? I don't even know these jokers! Your blog is a beautiful place to visit and I enjoy it! Have a good day!

2012-01-30T07:20:52.041-06:00

I've never understood those people out there that hide behind the anonymous name and post mean blogs either. Do they really have nothing better to do than cut people down on a blog?? Luckily I haven't experienced it on my blog, but I have seen it on others and it makes me sad. I hope you haven't dealt with this on your blog...
