Potty!

Category: cool Life

So my stubborn son used the potty three times yesterday! I know not exciting to some but sadly it was the highlight of my day!

I can almost imagine a life of no more diapers. It is sooo close but yet so far away....

On the upside all the kids seem to be doing pretty well right now and life is pretty good.

I have almost finished planning for the wedding. I just got the invites last week and can't wait to mail them out. Yeah!

Spoke to soon
Current mood: worried

So in my blurb about me I dared to say things in life are settling down. WRONG!

Why can't I catch a break or was that tiny moment of calm it?

Hello friends!

I am in a rare mood today. I am feeling very awake for this time of night. I hope it is a nice weekend outside. I was going to go to Put in Bay but to many people bailed on a group outing I had planned. So I am looking for fun ways to entertain myself this weekend. Any ideas anyone? I have no kids.

All I know is that it should involve LOTS of wine!

Good night all...

Vacation
Current mood: cranky

All my blogs seem to be about vacations. None of them seem to go as planned. The vacation in October I last wrote about last has been canceled. Blame it on the pregnant friend. Kidding Les :)

So I am taking a vacation in July. A kinda short one, around the 4th to utilize my days I get off from work.

It is ruined...My family is going to be there. I have been talking about my time off since January when I took it. Well we have this place in Sandusky that we go to. We have a trailer and boat up there. So do my in laws. Uhh.  I just found out they took the exact same days off we did. We wanted alone time with our kids. Now that is not going to happen. They are the kind of people that make your head hurt. They interfere ( in a loving way of course) They shoot eachother these LOOKS when the kids misbehave. The kind that makes you feel like the worst parent. I am sooo sick of those. Of course my kids are cranky at the end of the night. They have been out in the sun all day running around the park, swimming and doing various other things that make them tired. Of course if I didn't do things with them I am sure I would get a look for that too. I would be a lazy uninvolved parent. Of course when I try to nicely say something to them they look at me and say I am to outspoken.

So now I am actually dreaded my vacation. Now I really don't want to go. So much for fun.

I should just stop planning things.

Vacation
Current mood: excited

I am taking my first real ever grown up vacation! It is with a group of friends and my children and fiance are not coming along!

I can't even begin to explain how exciting this is. We made the reservations for the hotel yesterday. I told my fiance about it last night. His response was, your going in November right? Um no.. but I am glad you listen when I talk. MEN!

So this wonderful vacation includes spa treatments, ghost hunting and crystal finding!! I can't wait.

Christmas continues...
Current mood: jolly

This holiday season seems to bring the worst out in everyone. Even the ones near and dear to us. So to all those people who are cranky and not so pleasant to be around I am sending you out some love and good cheer. I think we all need it right now.

Love one another : )

Holidays I
Current mood: devious

The holiday turmoil continues...

We had to take my 4 year old to the store this weekend to buy him a spiderman toy to sleep with. He finally got enough stickers on his behaivor chart (about time). So of course we were happy and ran him up to target after we dropped his sister of at a b day party. My 2 year old had fallen asleep in the car so my fiance stayed in the car with him and Riley and I went into the store. Now in this season I don't have to explain the trip in the store. If you even have to grogery shop you know it takes an extra hour.

So my fiance parks all the way in the very back of the parking lot to get out of the way. He almost gets hit 6 different times. Keep in mind he is parked in a PARKING SPOT. Two of these cars honk at him for being in there way. They were cutting through the parking lot and apparently he should have moved out of there way. Pulling out of the parking lot we almost got side swipped. I mean almost as in my heart actually dropped into my stomach because the car came so close. Yet again they apparently didn't see us. By the way I have a mini van. We are hard to miss.

Next we stupidly go to the Verizon store because I want to upgrade my phone. I am btwn the Juke and the Vixon (something with a V) I am standing there comparing the two when this lady walks up to me and takes it from me muttering about how I am taking to long. I was maybe 5 minutes, maybe. At this point I have my two children with me and have to decide how to handle this. Plus in 1 minute we have to leave to pick up my daughter from her party.

I look at the lady and nicely say I was looking at that phone please wait your turn. I take it back from her.

I then loudly announce to my fiance that I was going to pick up Kyra with him but I think I will stay and continue to look at the phone. Dan leaves with the boys and I stand there for  an additional 20 minutes looking at the phone. The phone really is not that intresteing and I am wondering who it is I am punishing. Dan calls my phone and he says he is outside with the kids. I put the phone down and say out loud to noone in peticular. You know I don't think I want this phone and walk out the door. By the way the ladies are sitting on a bench in the store glarring at me the whole time. It was great.

Holidays
Current mood: numb

I am starting to get annoyed at the holiday season.

There are already so many wack jobs out there and this time of the year seems to make them multiply.

My fiance and I were at the store Sunday trying to shop for presents. As we round the corner and head down an aisle some lady runs over my fiance's foot. When he looks at her she makes a huffing noise looks at him all pissy and walks away. Like he did something wrong by getting his foot run over by her!

This is only the start of it. My Dan is very mellow but when it comes to peoples driving that is his hot button. So every year we have him hanging his head out the window swearing at people who don't know how to drive right while I tell the children to not listen to daddy. This season brings out the worst in him. We usually leave him at home alone.

It is not yet December. I can't wait for all the horror stories. Please feel free to share yours with me!

work
Current mood: crushed
Category: Blogging

I truely hate people who are in a power position. I have this group of asses at work who are completely incapable of doing their job. I mean completely incapable. They actually do more damage everytime they touch anything, but somehow they get away with it.

This is how an actual conversation this morning went.

Hey I was wondering if you had ten minutes for me to do that upgrade on your computer.

Umm....I think you guys did it already because my computer was totally messed up when I ran my morning reports.

Well that can't be. I didn't touch a thing yet.

Umm...Well I don't know.

Let me remote access it. Oh it seems it was done at 1:10pm yesterday. That's weird.

Umm... Yeah I wasn't even here then. I leave at 1:00 pm.

Oh well then (huh huh) I guess everything is ok then

Umm...No I said things were messed up this morning.

Oh well I'll call someone. Have a good day.

What? Hey. (the line has gone dead)

That somehow here is an acceptable conversation. Who knows maybe on Monday my computer will be able to fix itself. At least that's what the asses think.

Nickelback
Current mood: anxious

I must share a very happy moment in my life...I am going to Nickelback! My bestest friend in the whole world got me the tickets for my birthday. The best part  is that they are having there show on my acual birhtday! Who could ask for a better gift then that. Now my wonderful fiance has to find a way to top that present. I honestly don't think it's possible. See I am also madly in love with the drummer Daniel. He is beyond hot and talented. I am thinking that even diamonds could not outshine this present.

My birthday week continues with the new Harry Potter movie coming out. I am going to the midnight showing ( I am a kid at heart) I then have all of Friday to do what I want because I took that day off work just for me! The kids are still attending school and I will be all by myself! It then continues on because we are going to Cedar Point that weekend. The whole family, and my work is paying for it.  Could it get any better than this? 

When is July going to get here?
