I open my email to see a huge article on the odd name R
Downey jr named his baby. Does not seem like an odd name to me. Exton Elias.
Not like Moon Unit or Dweezil or Apple, or Blanket, Bean, Justice, Poeme on and
on. Who are these people? The name Police? Unique names are very cool downright
stupid names are cruel. My children complain because they feel their names are
not unique or unusual or even pretty. When I tell them some of the others that
were on the list I liked they pick a few they wish I had used. I chose with
great care. The names on my list had meaning. They were strong names and
attributes I wished for my children to have. Would I have named them something
different if I had to do it again? Yes if it was just I involved in the naming
decision. Sadly it was not. My second child could have been Shelly Grace or
Carden Blue but then she decided to arrive 7 weeks early and cause severe
trauma. She was not expected to live. She needed a big powerful name. I gave
her one. She hates it. But now she is my favorite Shoe a name in a teenage fit
of cruelty she tried to attach to her baby sister. It started as Shitpie and
morphed into Shoepie because my 16 month old daughter could not pronounce
Shitpie. My youngest was going to be Paisley Summer but that name had the
entire family unit in such uproar of
jealousy that she was getting the best name I named her after her two
grandfathers. Something I am glad now I did. I did rescue one daughter from
Tyler Stevana in honor of Steven Tyler. Wheww!!! My grandmother was angry with
my mother for not naming my brother after my dad and thereby creating a SPP the
V that would have been cool we could have called him Five…..hahah She also
thought I should have gotten a family
name after my grandmothers. I could have been Ina Vida or Vida Ina or Frances
Ina or even better Ina Frances. Ok that one may not be so bad or any
combination of Mary, Hannah, Chestina, Catherine or Martha. There was an
Electra way back in 1723. Wish they had known that….I could be Electra.
The non-mower man was mowing his lawn yesterday just a
few hours after my landscaper came and did mine. He then has the ….. to stop me
as I am driving by to attempt to throw my daughter under the bus. “Didn’t she tell
you I said I would mow it Monday or Tuesday?” Have you ever just wanted to be
blunt and honest and let someone have it? I interrupt him as he is attempting
this line of defense. “She told me what you said but you also said you would
mow it while I was in Dallas!” He then changes tactics and tries to be aggressive.
“You had to pay for it didn’t you?” (oh male creature you do NOT want to dance
this dance) “My landscaper mowed my lawn as he said he would.” Foolish male
creature continues ( I am convinced he is a village idiot).”You had to pay for
it right?” I smile that benevolent smile you bestow upon a child who has
brought you in a dandelion and believes it is the most beautiful flower in the
world. “I said I would do it!” I laugh. “Did you make a lot of money in Dallas?”
Uhmmmm….I am thinking it is Dallas not Vegas?????.....”NO?” “Are you off to
work? He asks my daughter. She looks straight ahead and says yes. “Oh well I
will let you go.” As if he ever had us? You lied, you made up excuses for your
lack of commitment and then worst of all you throw your guilt on to my
daughter? I almost married another version of you.
Dear male creature next door. I am Lady Tamara,www.LairdOfLochaber.com I have a landscaping
crew in case you failed to notice! He shows up. He does what he says. It is a
great relationship
.
Blaming my daughter??? Really??? Are you truly that
stupid???? My child is at fault because you failed to do what you said you
would??? D&G HELLO?????
