JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS...

So there is no real point to what I have started just need a little venting. So bear with me please! Also nothing too important so don't feel obligated to read.

For some reason I am just feeling very anxious and uptight today (my husband has been telling me that I have been uptight for around 3 days but what does he really know anyway). It's not that time of the month and school started so what is really the problem. I know one thing for sure. I watched my friends 2 boys today so she could go to an appointment in Vegas. They are adorable and Frankie has a blast with them, but I ran a few errands and listened to them whine and scream for too many hours. You can imagine twice the noise as I already have, any how. She dropped them off at 8:30 this morning, around 12:15 I get a phone call thinking she was done and telling me she was on her way home. I knew she still had the drive but at least end was in sight. Well she was in deed on her way but... She never even went to Vegas, yep 4 hours later. I am sorry but that really really bugged me. Probably because so much is bugging me right now anyway. Here are a few other things that come mind

I am in well need of a vacation. Either by myself with friends or with my husband I wouldn't complain about any of those.

It's almost my birthday and I am afraid to say that I am going to be 29

My son, that could be a whole other post in it's self. But the things that are really agitating lately are, he sleeps in my bed. I know you can all say it is my own fault and I take more than enough blame for that, but I am sick of it. I hate having to get creative to spend some "quality time" with my husband. He works until dark anyway so it truly is the only time I see him. More than half the time we fall asleep before him anyway. UGH! Plus Frankie is SO LOUD. I don't think I can hear one more loud scream or whine out of him.

I am really sick of the heat. I am so ready for fall and winter.

Okay so I may be ready for winter but I am not ready for this. Frankie turns three in 2 months and Christmas is in almost 4. Sorry to stop your hearts for that brief second. It scares me. Why does it have to be so expensive that is my only question? I love it and I love it when it's over but it sure causes stress every minute in between.

My daughter. I swear all I ever hear from her is arguing with Frankie, begging to go play or use the phone, whining and complaining. ie. I am hungry, when are we going to eat, my toe, arm, finger, nose, head, freaking I think everything on her body hurts. Why?

Cooking dinner. I like to cook but it is really hard to cook when your husband isn't home for dinner and you are only cooking for yourself and two kids. Seriously how much food can I really waste. Hate to admit it but we really dislike left overs. But I am so sick of frozen easy dinners and I am really bad at cooking the correct amount of portions so there are no left overs.

Potty training...nuff said

Wow I just read through my post and I can't imagine why my kids complain so much. ha ha I am such a great example, thanks for listening and letting me vent. I shall not be depressing to you any more.

Bye for now. (comments and advice still please!) I need them.

How old were you?

So today I experienced another joy of parenting, one that I thought would be in at least 3 years from now. For those of you who don't know my daughter I will start out by telling you that she is rather smart and very sneaking and mischievous. Yes, she has been since she was born. For example; when she went to day care around the age of two it was picture time and hot outside, she really wanted to wear her black long sleeved velvet dress and I said no. I had a cute outfit put together for her and she wore that to school. I let her take her dress to school because she was being picked up by her dad to go to his house for the week and she wanted to wear it, that made her very happy. Well a few weeks later her school pictures came home and they were very cute except for the long sleeved black velvet dress with a spring back ground, her purple underneath and a really sneaky smile on her face. She told her teacher that she was suppose to change and wear that for pictures, so she got her way after all. I totally took that dress away. Anyway back to my story of today. Makaela walks the .2 miles from my house to school along the way she picks up her friends. Today her one friend was riding a bike and she was riding her scooter, well the bike goes faster than her and she does not like that at all. So she left to find different friend to walk with. (This new friend being Dixie) About 10 o'clock this morning I looked at my caller ID and noticed a missed call from the Elementary school. I contemplated calling them back for a minute and it just kept bothering me because either she had a problem, but why didn't she call my cell phone, or she didn't make it to school. I know most of you don't have kids old enough so just so you know the schools call automatically at a mark absent. I called the school and the secretary asked who my daughter was. Here is what she said. " Oh Makaela. You know what happened is her and her little friend Dixie decided to hide out in Dixie's closet and not go to school today. When her mom got out of the shower she found them hiding in there eating their lunches." WHAT THE HELL! That is about the only thing that came to my mind, I kindly told the lady thank you and hung up the phone, pretty much with tears welling up in my eyes. Seriously, how do kids at the age of 8 know those kinds of tricks? Am I just blind to how much they know and learn at there age or is she a genius? I bet she was hungry come lunch time though. So now that I have spilled the beans on my naughty girl I just wanted everyones thoughts, not that I will let her know but I get a good laugh at it to. Now that I have collected my temper. So fess up and tell me at what age did you first ditch school, or try to ditch school in her case! I swear the generations are getting smarter and more advanced as we speak so watch out to those of you who are just beginning, or not even beginning yet (Brianna). Punishment is sure to arrive when she gets home from school at approximately 3:45.

Just for fun, I was well overdue...

I found this on the internet this morning and thought it was funny. I put in the three drinks that I usually drink and two of them came up as high maintnence and the other one clueless, sad huh. Atleast I could tell it's all for fun when I read through it, hopefully you can tell too. ENJOY! Yummy I kinda want a starbucks now.

NEW BLOGGING BUDDIE!

I wanted to send a shout out to a new friend that some of you might know. She use to be Lindsay Park in High school and is now Lindsay Grantham. I have known Lindsay for a very long time since 10th or 11th grade I believe and since high school have not been so well at keeping in touch with her. But in touch enough to get her to blog so WELCOME LINDSAY, (actually my second blogger recruit, the first was Katie Gwilliam Forsberg. I'm a bad friend I never gave her a welcome, (SORRY) I 'll make it up to her.) Anyway, friends are welcome to both sites, you will find them under my friends, so go make your blogger welcome.

Mr. Independent

So the point of this post is the outfit that Frankie is wearing in the above picture. I am sure you all notice how well it matches. I have been dealing with him wanting to pick out his own clothes the last few days and he wants to wear what he wants to wear if not it is a huge tantrum. Sounds like something a girl would do. So for the last few days he has worn a spider-man shirt, he has four, however two of them are pajama tops and he still wears them as eveyday clothing. Although my mom brought him a new one on Friday and he wore it that night and Saturday. Come Sunday morning he wanted the same one again. Who cares if it has a dirt and food all over it. I finally made him understand that dirty things have to be washed. Now everything is dirty to him. So after that drama he found another spider-man shirt. I tried to put his blue shorts on with it but he wasn't having it, the pajama pants with dino's and monster trucks are way better. I let him wear it all day. To Home Depot and all. Is that bad? I kinda felt silly but then I figured, who cares. Today he is wearing pajamas again but this time they're not spider-man they're motorcross racing, but it is long pants and long sleeves. HOT! Any suggestions on how to get him back to letting me be the one to pick out his clothes or should I just let him be his independent self?

HELP!

I am not sure what happened to everything that use to be on the side of my blog page ie: picture, friends, website links, about me. It all of a sudden wasn't there the other day and I have totally messed around with everything in the settings and template but nothing helps. So if any of you have an idea as to what I can do to fix it please let me know.
