Day 230

We had Alice's blessing today. It was a wonderful day filled with family and friends. And guess who Epic Failed on getting pictures? Ya this girl! I know family member got some and I am waiting for them to post them on FB hahaha......Here are the ones I snagged already! I like the first picture it's me holding Alice from this angle I look quite skinny! The second picture is my Aunt Tina and Alice. It was so much fun having her there she was up visiting my cousin for the week and came the day before! Thank you again everyone for coming and spending the day on Alice's special day! Her Dress she wore was her Great Great Grandpa's Dress it was over 105 years old! I am going to frame the dress. I was so happy to have such a wonderful memory for her day.

Friday Confessionals

It's that time again! Come over for and do some confessing!


I Confess................................

Today went from being awesome to totally way beyond complete crap. :( 

I Confess......................................

I am not the type to cry. I don't judge people who do, however I am just not one who cries easily. 

I Confess.....................................

I am also not the type to be depressed, like ever. I am really a happy person most of the time. Unless you discuss about me fitting into my size 6/8 jeans and then I will usually throw a hissy fit.

I Confess.......................................

I am still really upset 

I Confess........................................

I applied for a job this week. It was a job working from home. A job taking inbound phone calls for a company selling for them. Something I am very comfortable doing. I did all of their online testing and passed with flying colors. I had an interview today. The lady said she was impressed with me and was happy to offer the job to me etc etc. 

I Confess...................................

After I got off the phone with her I posted on FB how happy I was that I got this job! I was on cloud 9. I found a way to make money for my family and I didn't have to pay out the rear end for daycare. A win-win if you ask me! I was so stoked. 

I Confess...............................

The lady at said job called me back a few hours later. Asked if I had ever worked for the company, She had asked me this already so I thought it was odd that she was asking me again. I told her no I had not. She claimed that I did back in 2000 and that I was fired. Ummmmmmmm I was? I did? She asked again if I remember working for some guy (insert some random guy's name) and again I said no. She said she was going to do some research and call me back.

I Confess.............................

She called back and said that since I got "Fired" that she couldn't offer me this job anymore. Wait...WHAT? I have never worked for you! I asked for details on when I was there for how long and why I got fired etc etc but she couldn't give me any details because 2003 and earlier they had wiped all previous information. 

I Confess.........................

I burst into tears. Like sobbing tears. Like I said I don't cry. But after hearing this I just lost it. 

I Confess..............................

My day went from good to horrible. I feel like such a loser. I still don't remember working for this company but they claim I did and there's not a dang thing I can do. 

I Confess...............................

I talked to my Mom she said she worked there for 1 day. And then never went back. So what I am thinking happened is I went to training and didn't like the job and quit and therefore they fired me for no showing. 12 years ago! I could see that happening. I was 20 years old young and stupid. But does it make me feel any better? Not really

I Confess.................................

I feel like I let me family down. We could have really benefited from me working and with Richard's hours at his job it's near impossible for me to get a job because he is required to work extra hours all the time. And babysitting costs are just to much for someone to watch the kids during the day. Richard said I didn't let the family down, that I do work, I raise our kids and take care of the house. Which is true. But that doesn't bring home a paycheck. 

I Confess.................................

I feel so numb right now..............................................

Day 229

Some people pride in their kids willingly eating their fruit (no I am not making fun of anyone who does do it) but how many people can brag about your kids stealing your veggies off your plate? Probably a whole lot less!!! Here is prof that Evan likes his veggies! He is eating mine! I love veggies and I finished all that I wanted to eat so Evan decided to eat the rest of mine! I am totally ok with that too!

Day 228

Today is my brother's birthday. He turned 29. These are a few pictures from his wedding back in August. 

Today is also Baby Cannon's First Birthday. He is my cousin Eric and his wife Camille's son. They are due to have another little boy the end of September! I am so excited for them. They had their share of heartaches so I am so thrilled for Cannon to have a baby brother. 

Happy Birthday to some of my favorite boys! 

Day 227

I felt like having a lazy day today. I was on the phone and I when I turned around I found the dog hanging out with the boys little stinker!

 I didn't feel like taking the kids to the splash pad, it's hot and Evan doesn't like it yet (odd I know) and Alice is cranky when we go so I decided to take them to Mcdonald's instead. It was a good idea at the time except for the fact that the kids (all the kids in there not just mine) SCREAMED bloody murder and caused Alice to be awake and be cranky blah!

 We came home and Evan took a nap while Avery worked on homework, yup it's summer time but he does homework 1 hour a day and works on stuff he needed to improve on. I hope it helped!

 Toby colored while Avery did Homework

 And Alice and I hung out in the kitchen with them! 

We Want To Know Wednesdays!

Welcome to We Want to Know. Wednesday's Q&A

Hosted by Mamarazzi and Crazymama

Hows about a little "Would You Rather" for this weeks questions? Crazymama is taking some time to rest and let her family and friends take care of her this week. Drop in and leave her a little love on her blog would ya?

{one} WYR...have your own private jet or your own private island?

{two} WYR...be very good looking or very smart?

{three}WYR...have the ability to be invisible or the ability to fly?

{four} WYR...have the ability to read minds or control the weather?

{five} WYR...be able to hear any conversation or take back anything you say?

Here are MY answers

{one} WYR...have your own private jet or your own private island?

Private Jet to take my family and friends to ANY island we want to go to! 

{two} WYR...be very good looking or very smart?

I would have to say Very Smart because if you are very smart then you know how to work it and do what would make you look your very best! That or your lots of money you make because you are very smart could afford to buy you the plastic surgery to make you look better too.........just saying!

{three}WYR...have the ability to be invisible or the ability to fly?

See why would I need the ability to fly if I have a private jet? Silly I would want to be invisible! I would go places just to watch without anyone knowing......like a movie before it comes out.....gosh people what were you thinking!?!

{four} WYR...have the ability to read minds or control the weather?

Ok, I would have to say control the weather because there are just some days where a rainy day is a must needed. Or a snowy day on Christmas eve/Christmas day. Read minds? Ya people don't want to read mine and vise versa! Scary! 

{five} WYR...be able to hear any conversation or take back anything you say?

That's a tough question. I am very sarcastic but I never say anything on purpose to hurt someone. I joke around but NEVER to be mean. But some people I know take it as being mean and then twist my words and then talk behind my back, so with that note I would LOVE to be able to hear their conversations they have about me because I know for a fact that they do. I would like to hear them more for a peace of mind knowing that I am not this horrible person they make me feel. Sad part? They are family. 

Day 227

I recently started to do coupons. It's awesome what you can get for such little amount! I went to a class and learned SO much! Today we spent a lot of time getting organized and shopping. Shopping 4 kids is never easy and they did such an awesome job! So we went to Sam's club and enjoyed a slice of pizza and a icee. Notice in the picture that even Alice is looking at me. 2 months old and she has already learned that when I say Cheese and look at Mommy she knows what to do! The second picture is my first coupon steal, I paid only 7.17 but later I found out something went wrong and I should have gotten it for 5.15 and the normal price? 32.17! Kick butt! And I had to go shopping for Avery for school shoes (no these are NOT his shoes) And it was BOGO 1/2 so I bought his shoes and got these shoes for free! His shoes were 15 dollars off normal price. Then the shoes below were marked from 50 to 30 and they were half off so takes it down to 15 and since I got 15 off from his shoes then I got mine for free!!!!!! Woot! yes I know it has glitter on them but I don't care they were free and CUTE! Ha! Coupon HIGH!

Day 226

By the end of the day these two are DONE with me. (the children) And the moment Richard walks in the door Evan is attached to his hip. Follows him the moment he walks in the door. Alice will tollerate me but after spending all day with me she wants some Daddy time. She will follow him (with her eyes) the moment he walks in the door. So here is Richard holding Alice, and of course Evan can't not sit with her. Had to get a quick picture! Cute kids!

She has gotten so big she can wiggle out of my burritos! 

Day 225

I love my family. I love my cousins and aunt's and uncles my Papa and of course parents and sibling. Uncle Paul was in town. We had a get together at Papa's. We went to see him and other family members. Here is Aunt Claudia (Sorry I chopped off your head) and Baby Benson (12 days old in this picture) and Alice. I finally found someone who is smaller than Alice! They are 2 months apart in age! So cute!
