a tiny chat to start

i can't go into detail about what went on--it is too hurtful for me to publicly recount. I will suffice it to say that if you try to do harm to my children, it stands to reason that I am going to have a hard time forgiving you. i can forgive far more easily when people trespass against me, but when you intend lasting harm to my child, i go a little mama bear on you. does that suffice? i hope it suffices. i feel sick over it still. and this all came from someone i thought was a friend. i DO want to put your mind at ease, my kids are safe and nothing bad has happened to them luckily. it is the "what if's" of the situation that really make me angry and upset. that's all i can say. let's not talk about it again and just move on. because i really really want to move on and not spend a single ounce of thought or energy on that useless person. they don't deserve it.

so...that leaves us here, with a new space to fill up. and i am keeping this one close to my heart. if you are here, then you are loved and trusted. because for whatever reason, my little self needs a place to write and vent and rejoice and post pictures of kids, desserts, and pinterest projects gone wrong. thanks for following me all over the internets. it makes me sad that it has happened again, but since i am in a place of avoidance today, let's just forget about all of that and start new.

sounds good.
