Biscuits.

No matter the choices in your life there will be naysayers, nonbelievers, and negative nancy's. I've made lots of choices in my life that I know plenty around me would never dream of making, and that's okay. I have seen others make choices that I would never make, but never would I insinuate they were in the wrong for choosing what was best for them. Often times I find it hard to keep my mouth shut but all I have to do is put on my favorite Kacey Musgraves song and be reminded that we all should mind our own biscuits.

Today I was approached at the pool while playing with my son and asked several questions. Now understand, I think asking questions about someones lifestyle is a great way to get a glimpse into another side of a story that you may not be familiar with, but there is a point where you over step your boundaries. Asking me if I am on welfare or government assistance because I have a young family and couldn't possibly afford otherwise.. that's too far. Asking me how far I got through school before having to 'drop out' when becoming pregnant so young, then learning I am less than a year from my bachelors and will be moving forth with law school post college.. you look like a fool. Asking me if my parents are still a part of my life after having my son out of wedlock, well you're only asking for a rude awakening. 

Let me say this. My children are loved, our mouths are well fed, we don't depend on anyone but each other for the things that we need, both my husband and I are college educated and will continue to attend school until we feel out educational minds are filled, we have a roof over our heads and we have the judgements of those who assume otherwise to laugh at. Before assuming anything, about anyone regardless of the situation just read yourselves these lyrics. We are all human.

Taking down your neighbour won't take you any higher
I burned my own damn finger poking someone else's fire
I've never gotten taller making someone else feel small
If you ain't got nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all

Just hoe your own row and raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences and own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

Nobody's perfect, we've all lost and we've all lied
Most of us have cheated the rest of us have tried
The holiest of the holy even slip from time to time
We've all got dirty laundry hanging on the line

So hoe your own row and raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences and own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

Pouring salt in my sugar won't make yours any
Pissing in my yard ain't gonna make yours any greener
I wouldn't know about the rocks in your shoes
So I'll just do me and honey you can just do you

So hoe your own row and raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences and own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy
