Iced Tea

By
I have been trying to prefect my sweet tea recipe for a year now. I think I got it. I have experimented with the sugar amount, tea bag amount, and water amount. It was all good but these amounts are refreshing.

3 quarts of water
1 cup sugar
4 family sized tea bags

Boil a cup or so of water on the stove. Shut off heat. Dissolve 1 cup of sugar. Steep 4 family sized tea bags for at least 15 minutes. Pour in a large picture. Fill with water to 3 quarts. Pour into a glass filled with ice. Enjoy.

PS: mason jars are the best

What is your favorite summer drink?

Divorce

By
My mom and dad split up when I was 9 years old. The marriage was pure hell for them and me. Yes, me! I had to hear my mom crying late at night because my father was out after work doing god knows what. (Well, we know cheating was going on). When he was around it was pure hell. I walked on eggshells and was sick to my stomach most of the time. My father acted like he just hated my mom. I didn't feel like he liked me much either. I was the only reason that they even got married. There was so much fighting, crying, and my mother had breakdowns, and I had to hear my father force my mother into sex acts. It was all quite sickening. So when he did leave for good, it was a relief! Although, I was pissed at them both. Why the hell did they even get married? It was the end of the 60s and my father grew up with strict religious parents who instilled in him that if you knock a girl up; you marry her. So, that's what he did. And that was so NOT the right thing to do. Although, if he

This is what I felt like after work today. It's what I feel like and look like when people are all at me at the same time demanding things from me relentlessly without any regards to me and my plans. If you are asking me to help you out and take you somewhere, then by god, it will be on MY terms and when I can fit you in! Not the other way around. And please don't spring things on me last minute. This is why I seem like a bitch and blow up in your face. I can only take so much. And yes; 2 of my family members have been told repeatedly. So, I really don't feel bad about my behavior.
