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!!
