I am really tired of having this word shoved in my face so I will address it as I currently stand.  I have been irresponsible, I have been a bum, I can make excuses and give reason but i won't, I will just move on.

1: I take responsibility and hold myself accountable for all my actions, both past and present and will continue to do so, in fact I feel the lack of personal accountability to be one of the issues of todays society.

2: I work, both profesionally and personally, without supervision. LOL I live alone and manage all my household chores without someone telling me to, at work I handle my work load and ask for more again on my own.  This one sorta makes me giggle.

3: I feel my decisions recently have been both moral and rational.  I have taken every chance I can to help those who have hurt me, I have make every effort to choose a moral and "right" approach with my children regarding our families current issues.  Again I have had set back, I have not always acted like this and recently, within the last 6 months, I have been irrational at times and made bad decisions, see #1.

4: I feel I am trustworthy and reliable.  I would not be the one to comment on this so will just have to say I make every effort to do what I say I'm going to do, I make every effort keep my word, and I make every effort to honor trust that is given me.

5: All my debts, well my cable bill is behind, are paid, I have the means to pay them and I do.  I budget my money, granted not real well recently but its getting better, and have found that after some changes I generally have some spending money.  Kinda funny how I lose income and seem to have more money. hmmmm <dr evil look>

6: I have already addressed.

So As far as I can tell I am responsible, hasn't always been that way but it is now, so stop trying to rub my nose in a pile that isn't mine.
