~ a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal
Such as, shall we say - a war hero. Anyone who serves his or her country, who goes to war, who fights for the freedoms of others. A hero. Someone to look up to, to give thanks to - agree? I would. What a would NOT call a hero?? Someone who CHEATS on his wife, lies to his children, LIES to his community. Who no longer is man enough to provide for his children. That my friends is far from a hero and will get no praise from me. That person should be ashamed. Ashamed to wear that uniform, ashamed to call himself a father. He and the other.....well, I shall refrain from saying what I'd like to say, and just say.....person should both equally be ashamed and most certainly shouldn't be holding either of their heads up too high, considering what they both did. And the only other thing I shall say? Karma baby, karma. I have great respect for her. She seemingly takes her time in doling out what others deserve but she does eventually give it where it hurts. Here's hoping She socks it to 'em :) And enough about that :)
Not much happening with me. Same ol' same ol' unfortunately. We are about to get hit with our first snow storm of the year....yay?? Yea not so much. NOT looking forward to this at all. I don't want snow yet. I don't want snow at all!! Snow reminds me too much of Christmas - my favorite time of the year right?? Only I'm not looking forward to it at all this year...if we were in our own place it would be different...I'd be getting ready to decorate - only all my stuff is still stuck in a storage unit. Please dont get me wrong, I'm grateful for the roof over our heads - I just wish it was our own roof, kwim?? *sigh* Oh well...I keep thinking...this too shall pass. It cant get any worse right??????? But I *DO* have a bit of a funny to tell...with money being so tight, I thought it best to finally break down and have the conversation with Megs that I've been putting off...you know the one....the "Santa" one. You see, yes she may be 12 and a half years old, but I firmly believed she still believed in Santa Claus...because *I* certainly hadn't told her - and she hadn't asked ME about him yet. But I also knew that Christmas was going to be a bit slim this year...so I thought it only fair to tell her. So Saturday afternoon I sat her down and we had a talk:
Me: So, Megs - what do you want for Christmas?
Megs: I really really want a digital camera.
Me: well ok then, good to know!
Me: uhhhhh Megs - I have to ask you something........
Megs: (looking paranoid) What? I didn't do it.....
(LOLOLOLOL)
Me; No no, you didn't do anything, I just need to ask you a question - honey - do you still believe in Santa Claus???
Megs: Pfffft - not since Grade 4 Mom....so - are you getting me a camera???
The stinker. :)
