Been Busy

So I found an new obsession... it's a web site called kidsteals (http://www.kidsteals.com/) Every day at 9am (MST) 11am my time (EST) This site has proven to be a crazy addiction! Let me break it Down....

So constantly during the day I'm on the facebook page looking at other moms comments referral questions answers ect and some times there is a hint for what the upcoming steal is which then you spend more time trying to figure out what the item could possible...then the count down.....about 3 minutes to 11 I officially stop what I'm doing try one more time on facebook to see if I can figure out what's coming (but it doesn't matter because I just get so excited even over the anticipation of the fact that something is coming) then jump on to the kidsteals page and start hitting the refresh button and boom at 11 it's there....now some days I look at the item and shrugged say it's cute but we don't need it however when you get an item like Turtle Gus. who is wonderful and then your in competition mode because an item like this sells out in MINUTES!!! Don't worry everyone I got 3! THEN...back to face book to read the comments of everyone who did or did not get the beloved item, as well I find my self checking and night time to see if someone has discovered the next hit. LOL It's crazy!! I offically found myself typing faster as I was describing how it all goes down! So it's not a new craft hobby (however they do have scrapsteals as well) but I enjoy it and I will hold out until we get Momo who is Turtle Gus BFF.

The Big 3 2!

Well folks I'm now officially 32 (gulp) But I had an awesome birthday weekend..which I haven't had since I was 20 who has time  for a whole weekend anymore...ME!!!

So it started on Friday with a impromptu hair cut at the office by a very fun co-worker then we met a the mall with my mom and the girls for a quick dinner and to buy our very first little friends birthday gift. Then I stopped into the hair salon to get a touch up! LOL some parts were way longer then other but as the stylist said "considering it was with office scissors and you friend had no training it's not THAT bad" And I was greeted by hubby saying "excuses me have you seen my wife" hehehehe

Saturday I bought 2 new outfits for both my birthday dinners and had 2 nights of fabulous food and friends. And then on Monday (my actual birthday) I was woken by the lilest monster with 2 roses and a very cute "Happy Birfday Mama".. What more could a girl ask for....Tiffany Diamonds maybe ;)

So now I stare at my new number and have to ponder what it's going to mean to me...Is it 3 kids 2 adults or is it 32 a number to a new house or is it just the new me?


Stay Tuned!

Some People!

I often do things and my husband says " why would you do that" and I reply "why wouldn't you". I have encountered a situation that has made me question the world we are living in here's the story.....

Where I work we have a few satellite office and we have internal mail couriers that travel from site to site delivering and picking up the mail. These individuals are adults with special needs however come rain or snow always trek through the city and generally make it here on the mail days at the same time...Simply an Awesome service!!!

However today the mail was late at 11:00 am I recived a call asking if our courier had arrived...now I woke up today thinking it was Thursday so I really wasn't looking for the mail! However when I got the call I immediatly knew something was up...and boy was it ever... Our courier had fallen and was on the ground AND NOBODY STOPPED TO ASSIST HIM!!! now we work at a busy intersection it's not the buiset in the city but I'm guessing at least 50 people should have walked by him. 20 minutes later one person finally approached him and decided to take some personal responsibility and help the poor guy.

Now the lady that did help him went way above and beyond and even provided him a car ride all the way home however I'm shocked that nobody else decided to even see if he was okay. I always surround myself with people who care for others It's an important  trait I look in a friend and I feel deeply saddened that when I realize that others are okay with just walking by someone looks like they may need some sort of assistance (even if it's hey are you okay?) it breaks my heart!

And yes there are some who will say it's not safe to stop however  I have to reply with the what if that was you or your father, mother, sister, brother, or child!

So to the lady who decided to step up and help another human being out I thank you and you and all those like you will be included in our bedtime prayers tonight. To my mail buddy thoughts are with you and I hope you feel better soon! To those who walked by...I hope no one walks by you when you need help!

We are back! Okay we have been back for 2 weeks

The trip was AWESOME! Everything we could have wanted was given and with "it's my pleasure" I'm so happy I took the time to re-connect with hubby we talked so much in the first few days that by the 4th day we were back to just enjoying the silence...THEN WE CAME HOME!!!!

Okay so I'm a very lucky lady who's in-laws have been watching our kids since they were just born and yes they have there own ideas like cookies for breakfast (they always say "well at least she ate something") so I am more then grateful for the love and support that surrounds us and like I say to my hubby "pick your battles" So we didn't complain that while we were away Lolo got dressed at 4am to go buy her ice cream to eat  however the phrase "when she turns sixteen I'm moving out " has left my mouth a few times since returning. I fear that my precious lil monster is gulp... A SPOILED BRAT!!!

This darling girl who came into the world at 4lbs 3oz is officially a monster...she does what she wants when she wants and how she wants and if you try to intervene watch out! Everyone that knows her says she is well behaved and will do what they say (I'm still trying to figure out how Ninang Ann got her to eat 3 fish sticks) however she knows once she's in the our house she's queen bee... Okay so I know alot of you are thinking that hey she's only 3 but the battles we face on a daily basis (I bribed her today with wearing a dress so that we could get to school on time without a fight and so that she would brush her teeth) are officially turning me grey!

So as I take all that I can from Super Nanny and those I work with I continue to fight just when I'm ready to sell her to the zoo out comes a "Mommy I love you very much" as I say good bye at pre-school this morning.
