WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

I have just been informed that we officially have a mess up in the bag of M&M's.... for some reason there was a peaNUT put in there and they forgot to coat it in chocolate..... what do you do when that happens?

-Take it out, stomp on it

-DO YOU JUST THROW IT IN THE TRASH

........I know this bag of nuts is better off with out the peaNUT...... you gotta have some sweetness about you.... i mean COME ON!

Lets add a nut to the mix...

So we have gone over N, P, and T (which i have to say are my THREE favorite M&M's) so i think i should tell you how i relate to the M&M's before i go any farther....

I am the oldest granddaughter to N&P.... oldest daughter of T..... Mother of 2 (yes one was out of wed-lock), married to a miny P and I act like a miny N...... if you understood all of that you can keep reading... if not, go back read it again... until you do understand it.... ;)

I was the first child in this family to have to deal with divorce.... the first to have to listen to all of the horror stories of the other parent, the first to have to watch my mother get remarried.... I was the first! No one read my parents or grandparents the warning label of what a child can cope with, or what they really DO NOT NEED TO HEAR! Yet, after my "side-effect" came into play, I was also the first to show responsibility of no other.... so i want to take a second to stream away from the negative impact of members of this M&M package... and look at the positive....

N & P- have always been there as grandparents to me, parents to T, and great-grandparents to my children, they have seen the GOOD BAD AND UGLY when it comes to family.... yet they still have a marriage that is BOUND BY GOD..... they LOVE ALL OF THEIR CHILDREN despite their mistakes.... although they try to make their children to be responsible (even when they are grown)... they grew up in an era when children were not offerd too much information... therefore they too ARE LEARNING about this new way of child rearing.... i guess the point here is THEY STILL CARE.... through every up and down.... THEY STILL CARE! They have to be two of the FUNNIEST, MOST CARING, people I HAVE EVER MET!!!! and they have meant the world to my upbringing.... for pete's sake they raised my mother!!!!!!

I have recently began to sit and view the way some of their children and grandchildren treat them.... and personally i feel it is a slap in the face to the way these two people raised the kids.... I think it is mean, hateful, and down right nasty.... For two people to invest as much time and energy into their children and grandchildren yet get treated like they are nothing is probably the worse case of dis respect i have EVER SEEN.... and the sad thing is.... I KNOW THEY WERE NOT RAISED THAT WAY!

So what do you do when the nuts start turning STAIL?

4 Generations of Peanut M&M's

Growing up my grandfather always traveled.... whenever he would stop in one of the cities that his children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren lived in he always got us a bag of M&M's, when they started making mini M&M's we would start getting those..... of course over the years we have all grown.... and we all know that a bag of M&M's just doesnt compare to actually getting to see your grandfather/father/great grandfather... well also as the years have gone on.... the regular sweet chocolate M&M's has turned into a bag of Peanut M&M's.... you know the bag.... where you take a bite and go OW...THAT ONE WAS A LITTLE STAIL..... yeh... that seems to be our family these days.... so is there a way to take the stail ones out... or do you just TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD.....

Think about it like this.... looking at a bag of P-M&M's you cannot tell which ones are stail.... which ones are going to be mostly chocolate with just a little nut.... so you just eat them all and take the good with the bad..... MAYBE PEOPLE NEED TO START THINKING LIKE THAT.... I MEAN IF YOU DONT DISPOSE OF THE BAD M&M'S..... WHY WOULD YOU DISPOSE OF YOUR FAMILY........

JUST A THOUGHT FROM THIS P-m&M

Kids are like M&M's .... sweet they are small...but the bigger they are... the more nuts they are. You never see a child eating a peanut m&m ... because they could hurt them.... DONT GIVE A CHILD MORE THAN THEY CAN CHEW..... FOOD & INFORMATION are ALOT ALIKE!

Mostly Sweet..but def. HAS SOME NUTS!

Why is it that people always feel they need to ad a little judgment to every relationship they have? Can we not just BE HAPPY for people... or do we have to always make someones life a living H$L!... My mother has 5 sisters and this blog hopefully shine some light on the nasty things family does to each other.... first i would like to ad some commentary about the sweet ones.....

N- The MOM.... she managed to not only raise her sister and take care of her family at a young age, but then she had 6 beautiful children that she spent EVERY DAY OF HER LIFE taking care of and trying to give them a life that they deserved, one she did not have growing up.... this women at an early age lost her own mother, her sister, and almost her own life.... had to move to a strange country and help her father to start a life..... she fell in love had kids, raised them and since then has tried to help raise her grandchildren and now great grandchildren..... there is nothing nasty that can be said about a women like that.... there is nothing hateful that SHOULD be said about a women like that..... they only thing anyone should say or has a right to say is THANK YOU!

P- The DAD... has worked his A$$ off over the years in order to provide for his large family..... his favorite saying now "I have finally ran out of month before i ran out of money" He is, from what i have seen, the most incredible FATHER, GRANDFATHER, and GREAT GRANDFATHER in the world..... his philosophy is..... "The discipline is for the parents to do... i get to just have fun with them" For a man to be the one constant in every single child and grandchild he has.... deserves RESPECT...... again JUST SAY THANK YOU!

T- Middle Child.... has two older siblings, 3 younger.... this women has as i feel been more of the back bone to this bag of Peanut M&M's even though this women has also had her own trials and tribulations.... she has been through two HORRIBLE marriages that brought about her two girls... has taken from her MOTHER & FATHER that you just TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY! and always has.... finally fell in love with her soul mate...which brought about 2 more children to the Peanut M&M's.... has watched all of her children fail, but has also watched them succeed... teaches the JUST SAY THANK YOU philosophy every day.... learned from her parents how to be an AMAZING grandmother..... Has been there for EVERY ONE in her family in their time of need..... again... RESPECT HER AND SAY THANK YOU!

.....More to come from this BAG OF PEANUT M&M's
