No Drama Mama

in Stupid does not descriminate
Don’t you remember a time in your life when there was no drama? Think hard…no, harder. It might seem really vague, but it did exist. I promise. Somewhere between the late 80′s and the early 90′s there was this huge surge of DRAMA!!! It came out of nowhere. All of a sudden everywhere you turned somebody was having some type of baby mamma drama, baby daddy drama, work drama, family drama, or something similar.
Now, I’m not talking about problems. We all have problems with our relatives, our friends, our marriages, our children, and our money. That’s a given. I’m not even talking about issues, which are slightly more crazy than just plain old problems. Be honest with yourself. You’ve got an issue or two, and if you don’t then one of your relatives certainly does. Somewhere along that family tree there is a closet alcoholic, a grandmother who shoplifts, or somebody who huffed too much paint as a teenager. Issues.
No, I’m talking about DRAMA! Reality TV-style, tabloid-worthy, make-you-want-to-pull-off-your-weave-and beat-somebody-with-it drama.
O.M.G!
It’s always over something simple. “Girrrrlllll…umf. He said his phone went dead at work today. That man ain’t never left this house without a full charge! He’s cheating with that new B**** at work! I will beat her @***!”
Hey!!! Watch your mouth! This is a PG-rated blog!
And then it starts. You get sucked into the drama. You get filled in on all the back story: how she knows he’s cheating, what she found on his phone, where’s she’s followed him…the whole nine.
Thank you for sharing.
Now she wants to tell you what she plans to do about it, how she’s gonna catch him, and she needs your help to do it!
Yes, because you have that “to-catch-a-cheater recruit” look plastered all over your face…what gives? Let’s hope you are smart about it and find some way not to get sucked into somebody else’s insane Young-and-the-Restless psychoDRAMA. Because if not, you know that Crazy Spy Girl will be right back with Cheater Face next week like nothing happened and somehow she will blame you for trying to break up her marriage.
Where do these people find you????
Facebook.
Anyway, the drama comes in all shapes, forms, and circumstances. I realized that a long time ago and have since made a concerted effort to De-Dramatize my life.
I’m really sorry if your Ex-whatever is threatening to come across three states, kidnap your kids and the dog, and run to Mexico. But since he hasn’t paid child support in five years because he can’t keep a job and borrows his Grandma’s car to go play Guitar Hero at his buddy’s house, then I hardly think he can maneuver through an international border with a red-head toddler and a cocker-spaniel named FiFi. Just saying.
Yes, I know this is your brother’s third DUI offense, and he will actually get REAL jail-time, and all you need is another $500 to get the greatest-lawyer-ever that will prove the cops didn’t know how to read the breathalyzer that showed he was four times over the legal limit. Sorry. Hope he looks good in orange.
Drama. Some people just thrive on it. Like cockroaches, they’re easy to spot but hard to get rid of. And where there’s one, there’s a hundred more just waiting. Keep fighting them off! Your happiness is worth it!
