I Love This Kid!



So, I have been reminded that I need to blog more....OH, and make it more interesting! =) Yes, I should. I have actually been encouraged because I had 3 THREE comments on my last blog! People do read this thing! So, I am resolving to do better blogging....

We got a nice surprise last night. Some friends of ours (mine, really) from A LONG TIME AGO called yesterday and actually came over and spent the night with us. Thankfully my house was decent enough for company. I love it that I am so spontaneous and that unexpected drop ins don't bother me....maybe that's why I fit into the emergency department setting so well...okay, chasing rabbits...back on track. So, the people that came to see us have a 4 (almost 5) year old boy. He is precious and I absolutely love him but he is rough....REALLY rough. He, as I affectionately put it, loves very rough. He wanted to hold Rachel's head and twist it around....all out of love, I am sure but it made me so nervous and not to mention, made her very angry! She is about the size where she can hold her own but needless to say, she was very aggravated. He also was semi-torturing my poor dog. SHe is a little dog...a Shih tzu and is used to Rachel but we make Rachel be gentle...Will is NOT gentle! Anyway...so we all went to the mall today shopping before they headed out on their next leg of the journey. We ate in the food court, rode the carousel, and shopped. My child is terrified of the carousel....don't know why. I think she wants to like it but it really stresses her out to ride. I exchanged my Bare Minerals since the company continues to send me the WRONG shade. Most of the time when I shop, I buy Rachel things....and I did today too but I also bought me 3 shirts on sale at JCPenneys....everything is always on sale there. But they are way cute and I am excited! Had to buy Rachel another pair of shoes and for those of you that know, my kid is big.....I have to buy expensive shoes - Stride Rite. Thirty nine dollars PLUS TAX for a pair of sandals....such is the life!

Okay, so maybe this isn't much more interesting but it's what I do....so take it or leave it!

Tomorrow and Sunday, I work. BY MYSELF!!! It's exciting and a little scary all at the same time....what if something comes up that I know nothing about??? I can do it! I know I can. It will be fine!

KRISTA!!!! COME HOME!!!!

That's all for now!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
