VENTING!!!

Warning.....I am about to vent. If you know me you know this has to be a good one to warrant a "vent"!!....proceed with caution!
Here it goes, I guess I am supposed to somehow be able to control the fact that both Noel and Jayden call people when I am not at home and ask to go over to their house and one has success and the other doesn't. I am supposed to wave a magic wand and make everyone happy and all hunky dory all while I am at work. Probably my number one pet peeve is calling me at work about something that is totally out of my control!! So, today (even tho I think it's totally ridiculous but I was trying to be nice and make everyone happy so I don't have to hear for the next week how mean I am because I didn't make sure everyone had the playdate they wanted) I let Noel call a friend and see if they can work out a playdate tomorrow. She gets a hold of someone and I talk to the mom and we set a date for tomorrow. GUESS WHO IS THROWING A FIT????? Wait for it.....BOTH KIDS!!!! UGH, am I surprised No! This is the EXACT reason I don't play the "make everyone happy" game!!!!!!IT NEVER WORKS!!!!!One is crying because she wanted to go there and not have her come here ( apparently I am a mind reader and am supposed to know this while talking to the mother, even tho we clearly stated that she was going to come here before????) the other is crying because now she won't have anyone to play with ( yet we have 3 girls in our house. She very well could play with Kaylin). So, now we are back to the point of why I DON'T do this!! No one is ever happy!! Life is full of disappointments. Sometimes you are able to do the things you want and other times you aren't. I will NOT go out of my way to make everyone happy EVER again!! I usually don't but like I said before I was trying to appease everyone. Now I am waaayyyy over it and decided  they can just stay home for the rest of the summer and play with each other! I never win by trying to make everyone happy! I always just end up regretting it because it never works. So next time don't ask. :0/

30 Day Challenge- Day 14

Day 14- Your earliest memory...
hmm, I don't exactly know how old I was but I remember a couple things. I remember riding in the front of the camper topper of my Dad't truck while we were driving to I think Sea World in like Toledo Ohio I think. I know there isn't one there now wherever it was. I remeber going to Texas with my parents. But I wasn't like super young when we did these things. Maybe like 4 or 5. I don't know if Isaac was born or not even. We are 5 years apart so it must have been before.Sorry, I don't have some wonderful long drawn out story but those are my earliest memories.

30 Day Challenge- Day 13

Day 13- somewhere you would like to move or visit.
Let me just say I am sooo behind on this BUT, I didn't see anyone say it had to me 30 consecutive days. LOL. With that out of the way, there are many places I would like to visit but not so many I would like to move too.
 Shane and I have been looking at Colorado for a long time.  We had a realtor looking for houses for us. I don't know why we thought there but we did. I only had 1 family unit there at the time. My cousin Kris and his family live there. But now we have more. 3 to be exact. Them and 2 others. It's a beautiful place! But moving that far from all our other family and friends without a firm plan is WAY scary!! I don't know what we were looking to move for. We didn't have job offers there or anything. Just looking for a change. Get out of dodge per say.But it's  a big decision to take your kids away from their friends and family and leave our jobs that we don't hate. So for now we are staying where we are.

Now, as far as visit. I really, really want to take a vacation far, far away. Just Shane and I. We didn't really take a honeymoon when we got married because Jayden was only 4 months old. But my goal for us is to save up by the time our 10th anniversary comes around. Which will be in 2013. We have some dissent among the ranks on where. Shane wants to visit Alaska and  I want to go to Mexico or Hawaii. I am not against Alaska but If I am going on a vacation I want to lay on a beach and not have a thing to do! I don't want to spend my days in layers of clothes just like I am at home! so, there you have it. Somewhere we would like to move and visit!!

30 Day Challenge Day 10

Day 10- Discuss my first love and first kiss.
Hmmm, this is going back a LLLOOONNNGGG time! I have been with Shane forever so this is gonna take some thinking.
I am pretty sure I was around 14. He was a friend of a friend, never anyone I thought would be my boyfriend but none the less a cute and super funny guy! We hung out at our friends house numerous times before we became boyfriend and girlfriend. I really don't even remember him asking me to be his GF. This surprises me since I have a really good memory. I remember us having lots of good times and some not so good.I remember always having someone take me to his house (since he didn't live by me). I remember my friend Michelle and I going to his house to hang out with him and one of his friends and almost dying in the snow storm she drove home in. I remember him riding his bike to my house once which pretty much took him ALL day! Like I said we didn't live by each other. I think we dated for like a year or something. It remember it didn't end very well! I pretty much hated him and he hated me. We had the same group of friends so we avoided each other like the plague!! But when you are young and immature things like that seeming don't. I thought it was the end of the world but then again I was like 15ish. Luckily though he can back into my life some years down the road. Not as a BF this time but as a really good friend that I still love to this very day! He is married to an AWESOME lady who I think totally rocks. He is a GREAT dad! I am really happy that he has found someone who is as special to him as Shane is too me!! I am really glad that we can be friends and he knows I will always have his back!! That was my first love...awwww. LOL
Now the first kiss, hmmm I don't really remember my first kiss. I am sure it was sometime around I would say 9th grade. IDK. maybe before. I am sure it was nothing like they make it in the movies!! I mean I can't say then it wasn't a bigger deal but I don't recall anything sticking out in my mind now. Sorry. That one was a total bummer!
So, there you have it....my first love and not so much of the first kiss

30 Day Challenge- Day 9

Day 9- What I hope my future will be like.
I dont really know why they chose to have this as a topic after the 10 year thing....most would say 10 years from now is your future....anyhow. I hope that my future is filled with all the people I have in my life now, of course I am always open to new friends, hopefully some nieces or nephews. I hope that I can celebrate the fact that I don't have to raise money for Cancer research anymore because we have found the cure!! I hope my family and I are all healthy. I hope can retire before I am 90. Ohh and I also hope I am a multimillionaire so I can help all my family retire before they are 90. I think that covers it!! Whooooo hoooo I finished Day 9 before day 9 is over!!!!!! ;0)
