Moving On

Okay so looking back on my last entry was a little catty to say the least but hey I felt a whole lot better and those who know me and my mother in law did find it amusing...but now we most move forward...

January has come and gone and I feel an overwhelming sense of urgency to plan and figure things out. When we sold our house way back when we agreed it would be for one year but the glory of living debit free may have taken our year to a year and a half, But that's okay I'm okay with it...I think... I miss having my own house and my own life and not having to have a definition for all my actions but knowing we can start over is almost awesome!

But I still need a plan or something to plan...

To My Mother -In Law

Hello,

Just a few things that are on my mind

1. I did not steal your son...he grew up and found love you should be happy (his old girlfriend was a bit of a skank and you really should be thanking me for saving him!)
2. Yes you are my children's grandmother however what I say goes...this whole "here but don't tell mommy" game is getting old! 
3. When I role my eyes in your direction generally means "I've had ENOUGH" and that it would be wise to stop talking to me....because I have stopped listening
4. When I say no cookies it means NO COOKIES
5. The children won't die if they cry for a while...They are just playing you to get what they want!
6. I show your respect you should show me some...it's just human kindness
7. Bleach is not an all purpose cleaner! See the stains on my couch for examples!
8. You do speak and understand English...don't play dumb when you get caught saying something rude and offensive and use this as your excuse
9. Yes I delivered girls but your precious son determined the sex of the children and my kids are amazing and healthy and going to grow up to be amazing individuals (who you might want to come visit you in the home I plan to put you in) so you may want to be nice
10. I have a mother who loves me unconditionally I really don't need you but it would be nice if you could pretend to like me!

Sighhhhhhhh....I feel a bit better!

YIKKKEEES

Okay so it's been a while! My bad I am hurrying to go thru the motions of the holidays! As 3 of my 5 readers (LOL) know a few years back my dad had collapsed at a subway station and needed to get one of his valve replaced...this happened right during the holidays and I'll admit I'm still a little shaken when I remember the doc saying to my daddy "If we don't do this you'll be dead by New Years!"(he had to be blunt to really get through to my dad)

So he fully recovered however the damper has still remained! I have no desire to have to go to all the parties (2 this Saturday!!!)  The cooking for the hubby's Extended Extended Family, the trying to explain to the biggest littlest monster why Santa didn't bring her the ride on barbie Car ( Santa and I have had the discussion that it's not in the best interest for Safety reason mine not really hers)

So off we go the tree is up, gifts are bought (most of them) and let the holiday season start

I'm sending out an official BAAA HUMBUG!!!to all!

GRRRRRRR

The bigest littlest monster never stops crying!!! I'm offically bloging hiding in my bedroom! At the mall, in the car, in the house, in the bath...NERV STOPS CRYING and not just the cry that you feel kinda sad about it the high pitch look at me as I hit the octave that makes your ears bleed cry. sigh!!!

Now off I go to fight the cry and try to explain to my darling 3yearols that we just don't eat honey!!!!

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!
