One of those days...

Have you ever had one of those days when someone hurts your feelings so badly and just makes you feel terrible? I have had two in a row...ugh!

Yesterday I checked my E-mail to see that I had a new comment on the blog. I am usually so excited about these. It is nice to know that people relate to what you write, or find it amusing/interesting. It kinda makes you feel like you are writing for a purpose. When I checked to see who had left a comment and what they had written I was very sad to see that it was an extremely RUDE comment. Someone had posted a comment that stated that it would be nice if I would post some pictures of Travis' parents holding Parker because "it would be nice to let other people see that he has 2 sets of grandparents." Yikes...let's pull back on the reins a little bit here!!! Anyone who really knows us is aware that Parker has two amazing sets of grandparents, who I write about often, so I don't think that leaving rude and inappropriate comments on my blog for all to see is a very kind thing to do. I know the name of the person who left this comment...but not exactly who it is. If you are reading this, I would just like you to know that my feelings were very hurt by this comment and I think you are out of line. If you pay attention to my blog (key word MY blog: this word entitles me to write about whatever it is that I want) you would see that I do not just post pictures of Parker with one set of grandparents...I have not posted any pictures of Parker with my parents either. (Except for one of him with my mother the week we brought him home from the hospital and she had stayed in our little apartment with us for a whole week, waiting on us hand and foot, I think a picture thank you on the blog was well deserved).

I started this blog as a fun way to keep everyone informed about Parker and our lives, since we do not live in the same city as EITHER of our families. It is times like these that make me feel like taking time out of my day to fill everyone in is not a good use of my time. As a new mommy, I am busy all the time and could easily be doing other things...but I choose to do this. I know that it is hard for both sets of grandparents to be away from Parker and not to get to see and hold him every day. It is overly hurtful to feel like people believe you are "favoring" one side of the family over another and I would just like everyone to know that this is not the case. I have deleted this hurtful comment off of the blog and would kindly ask that IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY...PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ON THE BLOG. You have caused a great deal of hurt. I have enough going on in my life right now...and do not need others to add DRAMA to it.

Sorry for the rant to those who read this and have no idea what I am talking about...and thanks to those who do know and have been so supportive of my feelings.

Jamie, you are a great mom and a great person. I feel so bad for you. I hope it all gets better soon.

Sounds like that person should probably find a hobby or something besides anonymously blog stalking people she obviously doesn't really know and leaving hurtful messages.

Don't ever stop the blog...I love it and I love you!

ps. pumpkin would just spit in her eye. hahhahahahahahhah.
