Too Funny


I received these pictures from my mother-in-law recently and I just now viewed them. I had to share this one of Haley because the creativity made me laugh. It dates back to her broken arm obviously. My mother-in-law didn't want her to be excluded from the swimming so she fashioned this contraption for her arm. It looks like Target comes in handy in more than one area Tara. Also notice the beautiful Christmas ribbon as well. At least it worked!

Never Fails


So I don't know if it is the same with all families but in ours our children are definitely different personalities. Haley is outgoing, loves the spotlight and pretty much will do anything to help me out. Ella on the other hand beats to her own drum, does not like performing in front of people, and pretty much does the opposite of everything I ask her to do. Although 9 times out of 10 it will be Ella who says the sweet thing that makes you pause and appreciate their love in between all the chaos. Here is the most recent.
I had been working all morning so when I got home I approached Ella to ask for a kiss. After obliging she ran off to play. About 20 minutes later she came over out of the blue and asked me " Does a hug come with that kiss?"

I have no idea where she came up with that, but whenever I want to scream in frustration I am going to remember that moment.

Such A Sucker

One of the things I hate the most is when I feel like a sucker. That happened last night. I was spending too much time on the computer and came across a secret shopper offer. You know the phrase "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is". Well this certainly proved that. It was a company that hired people to secret shop for them and in return for filling out a survey on the company you got to keep what you bought plus for signing up you got a $1000 gift card to the store of your choice. I should have turned off the computer right then. Instead I continued on my journey and registered with RetailReportCard.com. Part of registration, however is to answer 6 advertiser promotions. I wasn't sure what this meant but I really wanted my $1000 gift card. I was already having visions of paying for all my Christmas purchases, new wardrobe, etc. The first set of advertisements I was instructed to select two. These were free trials but when you read the fine print you had to make sure you cancelled or they started charging your credit card each month. I told myself I could use a free trial of acne cream and teeth whitening and I would make sure I called in enough time not to be charged. So I continued on... The next set again I had to pick two. This time I ran across Blockbuster online which I figured I could easily cancel my Netflix (even though I don't like Blockbuster- I think they have made a small fortune off of late fees from me). At this point I was getting frustrated so I decided I would skip to the last set of offers and see what my choices were there. Again I had to select two but I was so close to being done. This is when it all went bad. The last set of offers were major. I didn't even read past the $1500 minimum purchase, $800 minimum per person, etc. These weren't annoying free trials these were major committments. So in the end I have no gift card, I am not hired as a secret shopper, I have a new subscription to Blockbuster online that I don't want, not to mention I will be receiving a free trial of acne cream and teeth whitening system in the mail soon. And I bet they won't be very easy to cancel. I wasted two hours on the computer that should have been used cleaning my house, and worst of all I feel like a sucker. Not a good evening!

You Know You Are Hormonal When...

So I have been noticing lately that I get choked up about pretty much anything I see or hear. Mostly on TV. It has always been easy to do for me. But come on! It has gone past normal now. I was driving to work today and had the radio on. One of those OnStar commercials came on. I don't know if you have heard any of those. It is usually someone locked out of their car and they need OnStar to unlock their doors for them. Magically they give them their code and a miracle occurs. Well today it was a lady whose car was submerged in water and she needed emergency help. As I am chocking up, trying to hold back the tears I am wondering why she didn't just call 911 but then I tried to use my brain to realize it was just an advertisement. OnStar needed her to call them. Good thing too because they called 911 right away. Anyway I will try to keep it together but even everyone's blogs make me cry. I am not sure how much more I can take.
