So I've thought about his post many times. I have ranged from madder than a hornet just post it with all the rage and bad words you are thinking to don't even bother, it's not worth it in the long run. So I am going to attempt to post this in the nicest way possible to make me feel better. Worried or concerned yet? :)
So in the last month I have had a great increase in the number of comments about my single state. The one that sent me over the edge was, "So are you trying to stay single." I don't even remember who said it, I just remember it was at work. Now because I didn't want to promote workplace violence I grabbed the hand that was going to hit the person, covered my mouth to prevent the flying of words and stomped back to my office. There are so many things I wish I would have said to this person at the time that would have made me feel better but I didn't. I cried instead.
The fact is, yes I am still single. The fact also is, I didn't plan for this. My dream growing up was to get married young and to have a family and enjoy raising the kids and be the perfect house wife. Funny, that is still my dream...except the married young part. I never wanted to be in my late 20s living with wonderful roommates and learning how to live life on my own. However, now that I am here I am trying to make the most of the situation. I do hope that one day I will find a great guy that will want to stick around and stay with me for eternity. A family would be a wonderful blessing as well. One day...I really hope this comes true. I am still a normal functioning person, please treat me as such.
So at the end of this post I just want to say, be nice to your single friends. Try to refrain from telling them to be grateful that they don't have a spouse to argue with or out of control kids to deal with. Cause I'm here to tell you, some days I would love that to deal with. Give them a hug and tell them to keep going. Give them hope that thing will work out in the end.

Well, if you won't punch them, can I?
I can't believe how tactless people can be!
Love you Carolynn! People are such jerks sometimes!
So I am going to assume that this person, although tackless, meant that you must be trying to stay single because you're so cute, fun, and have such a great personality, that it must be your choice. She probably just can't understand why anyone hasn't snagged you up. :) Hang in there! I've really enjoyed getting to know you better through your blog.
You're a wonderful person so don't let the rudeness get to you. I figure if it's meant to be it'll happen eventually.
Okay really? Seriously? That ticks me off! Maybe they were having a brain-free day...forgot to insert in head before leaving the house. I've had those days! It doesn't mean it hurts any less though. I love you! God loves you! EVERYONE who knows you loves you! ...we just can't help it. =)
You are the sweetest person I know - don't let jerks get you down. Sending you hugs - love ya and miss ya!
ok so in that situation I think you would have been justified in beating the crap out of that person! You are such an awesome person, and whoever has the privilage of marrying you will be a very lucky man!!
You may not have a family of your own yet...but you are exactly the type of mom/wife that I want to be when I grow up. I think you are awesome!! And who ever marrys you will seriously be the luckiest man in the world!
I love you so much sis!! You have some amazing friends. You are one in a million...Your Prince Charming will come. Don't give up!! He will be lucky to snag you. Thank you for everything you do for all your nieces and nephews. Love, Your Big Sis
