Button Pushers & The Force Field

It must have been destiny that I was given the name Ginger. How could my parents have known when I was so young, innocent & sweet..that I would MORE than live up to that name ? When looking up the meaning of the name Ginger..one of the definitions was "pep or liveliness"...LOL Yeah, let's go with that, it sounds so much better =-)

Well, having "pep & liveliness" means I'm a bit high-spirited ! I like to think of myself as a really nice & caring person, who would do just about anything for anyone, love people, have lots of friends, hard worker, etc...BUT I have this invisible "force field" that surrounds me. I am ALL those things I mentioned above...UNTIL you get too close to the force field. This is where my "liveliness' starts to kick in =-)

But let's back up....HOW do people get close to the force field ? Most of the time..these people are "button pushers". (Button Pushers -a person who enjoys getting people irritated and starting fights and arguments; a colloquial term for an instigator.) I've given birth to three of them...my dad has been one for me(don't worry...this has been a discussion for YEARS..no new revelation here..haha) and then I've had random friends and acqaintances. A good for instance would be a former boyfriend who told me once, "you're so cute when you're ticked off...I think I do it just because of that." BUTTON PUSHER !! If you could envision what Popeye looks like when steam is coming out of his ears..with his face blood red...THAT would be ME !! I'm thinkin' not so cute dude ! While a girl likes to be flattered..sense the mood! It's not lookin' good for ya !! haha

My boys...BUTTON PUSHERS !! And they all have different ways of doing it. They're talened in that way. It's a nudge..then a poke..slight shove..THEN AN ALL OUT PUSH !!!! They've not only entered the force field, they've made themselves comfortable, danced around & hoorahed a bit...and amazingly lived to tell about it. They've definitely seen the "peppy girl" emerge.

I'm not sure if I just have an extra allotted amount of buttons...it's just too easy...my force field is so strong it just magnetically draws people in to torment me or what.....but I seem to have an over abundance of "button pushers". =-)

Do any of you know what I'm talking about ? Got your own "button pushers"? I sure hope so.....because IF it's just ME.....well, that's another blog, for another day !! =-)
