Friday Confessionals 7.19.13

I Confess that there is always two sides to a story. I would LOVE to see the other side of the story! So until then I go off what I do know that has been placed in front of me. 

Example 1 We take Grandpa up to his trailer to get a new tire for his truck. Cousin Zoe & Robbie joined in with me and Robert. It was a 45 min drive up and drive back (no biggie) I had no plans to go camping that night therefore I had no camping gear with me. Avery had asked me if he could go with Grandpa and go camping with his cousins. I thought it was fine but Grandpa made up some excuse he needed to go home and find his Dad first. I am quite use to my kids being pushed over so that the other kids can go. But when we go into our car to head out Avery said as we were on our way, Mom......Why doesn't Papa like me around him? The next night (Friday) we went up to the camping site to wish Richard's Grandpa a happy 40 years with the school district. I had no plans on staying the night (Richard wasn't there) and The people I was with had to work in the morning. Avery came up to me again asking me if he could spend the night again. I asked Grandpa if it would be ok and he said to talk to Grandma. Her response was "I suppose" (wait a minute, you have 3 of 4 kids here with NO Kevin, all I am asking is 1 child? and it's a huge burrden to you? She acted very put out that I asked her in the first place! 

I Confess........That wasn't a confess more of a vent........but I still not sure what to do. These are recent ones I have several others were they treat my kids like ignored kids. Any suggestions as to what to do?

1. What one food could you, from here on out, never eat again and be totally fine with?

Avocado's

I know everyone loves them but I can't stand them. YUCK. I am a texture person so the thought of all that squishiness in my mouth makes me want to hurl!

 2. Would you rather be blind or deaf?

Deaf.....Kids screaming, wha???

3. What little things irk you?

Screaming kids in Walmart (seriously control your kids) people who ignore your kids but take the other grandkids all the time (seriously I have GREAT KIDS!) People who ignore the fact that you are married (me or Richard) & want to do more than just chatting (really?) people who smack their gum in public & people who lie to me!!!!! 

4. When was the last time you did something purposely and solely for yourself?

Ummmmmmm Last Saturday I had a free morning and I mowed the lawn (yup I had no kids or husband and I mow the lawn, HOW LAME AM I!?!) then I got dolled up and went to lunch with the hubby

5. Tell us about a time something lived up to your expectations.

Currently working on that! I will post once I have accomplished it! It's in the works, baby!

Wordless Wednesday 7.17.13

Aweeeeeee Someone love their Daddy! She had just woken up for the day! Love this picture!

Friday Cofessionals

I love Fridays.........They just make me HAPPY! 

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

This has been an very LONG week around here. I am in "training" this week to go back to the department I was in 45 days ago and since it's been past 30 days we "get" to do training all over again.......BIG waste of my time.......the extra hours is nice because we are working 6 hours vs 4 hours but I feel like smashing my head against my desk most of the 6 hours. I am so happy today is my last day of "training" 

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

I am loving living up here! Seriously LOVE

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

I just deleted a huge confession........ha!

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

I had my lovely Lisa's kid's over last weekend. I LOVE those kids! They were AWESOME the whole time. But they made me realize something. I am in BIG trouble.....I realized that I am going to have 3 teenage boys, and they EAT a lot! Yup, might as well go get a job now at Wal Mart and start putting my checks on a Wal Mart gift card! Haha (no I am not asking for a GC Lisa they were FINE!) Avery already eats more than me and he's 9.....

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

Last Saturday night we had 3 adults and 7 kids and 2 dogs under one very small roof and it was AWESOME! The kids played together so nicely and the adults were enjoying each other's company and the dogs were hanging out like best buds! I love spending time with my friends! 

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

As much as I try to say I don't let things get to me they still do. You can't even call your OWN DAUGHTER on her birthday? Seriously? It's just a phone call but to me it's MUCH MORE. It broke my heart and when I talked to you the next day you laughed it off like it was no big deal. I am not perfect but I do try. Argh.......sometimes I wish you could just stick up for ME instead of worrying about them! Grrrrr frustrated that's all! 

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

I am super excited to see my cousin's on Sunday!!!! I can't WAIT!!!!!!!!!

4.) Do you have fourth of July plans? (If not in the U.S. what are you doing this weekend?)

5.) Does it get super hot where you are in the summer and how do you deal with it?
–ANSWERS–

1.) Now that it is officially summer, what season is your favorite and why?

I love Summer, no school for the kids and get to play but sadly as an adult you still have to work, blah......I love the warm/hot days and the summer time fun of camping, BBQ'in, swimming at the lake & fishing! All fun stuff!!!!!!! 

2.) What does summer look like in your house? Sound like?

Now that we are up here in Idaho it's been a lot of FUN! Lots of doing things with family and friends it really has been a great summer so far! Sound like? LOTS of fans running, it's hot in this house! BLAH I like the sun but I don't like the sun following me in my house! 

 3.) Recount a summer memory from your childhood.

Ummmmm no summer really stands out for me. I remember bit's and pieces of summers but nothing huge stands out. Girls Camp and hanging out with family is about it.

4.) Do you have fourth of July plans? (If not in the U.S. what are you doing this weekend?)

I "get" to work so I am not taking the kids to my Dad's neighborhood to go to the North Ogden Parade. Instead there is a local one going on after I get off work and then taking them to the festivities after that! Hang out with the husband and then put children to bed. YAY

 5.) Does it get super hot where you are in the summer and how do you deal with it?

I take several showers a day and drink lots of fluids! I hate being too hot or too cold!
