One Lucky Girl!

I called to report for my jury duty in the morning, and

IT HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!

This is the third time in my lifetime, that I have been summoned, and been released over the phone! I am doing the happy dance tonight.

Thanks

I just wanted to thank all of you LOSERS, who told me to fill out my jury questionnaire
honestly, because now I have been SUMMONED FOR JURY DUTY! and yes, I am blaming
you all, because I have no one else to be mad at!!
I will give more details after Wednesday.

How to UN spoil your Child!

First, Sorry for leaving you all!! I went to Chicago in December, got back, got busy from the Holiday's. Sort of decided that blogging is a waste of my time. Really, I would post then spent hours reading all your blogs, and it was taking away from my family. So I needed to take a break, but I didn't realize for how long. I am back, I won't post as much, but a little! I will come by and say hi very soon.
Who am I kidding, I'll probably be back to stalking ya all, wasting all my time again. But I will try not to be as addicted as before.

OK, How to Unspoil your child --

At Christmas, I realized I had one, VERY SPOILED KID! Duh, I saw it coming. But at my sister's house the day after Christmas, after getting, about 50 toys, he gets a darling book, and fleece pants. His face was rotten, he about started to cry. This was from his Grandpa, can he be a little nice? Just say, wow thanks! (not to mention now, he doesn't even play with the toy, they gave him next, which I wish they would have just thrown in the trash~) but he has read the book over and over, and loves to put his pants on after school. but this is besides the point.

So I buy a book on Amazon, how to unspoil your child, fast! Perfect I think, I order it, I read it, it doesn't give a ton of advice, but it does have some great attention getter's, so your kids know you are serious. For example, returning a toy, when they are rude. Walking out of movies, and restaurants.

Restaurants is a issue with our family, we can't take this guy out to dinner, mostly because he is anorexic and doesn't care about food in the slightest, so why sit and be quiet while you wait for food, that you won't even eat?

A few hours after reading this idea, we ended up going out to lunch. Instant Hell, fighting with his sister, whining, not telling us what he wants to order. So I say, OK, Lets go!

I forgot to mention, that my husband, Malen, LOVES FOOD! Loves it more than me, I tell you, and we were at the Red Iganua in SLC, YUMMY!! So I anounce were leaving, and grab both kids by the arm. But I did not have spousal support, and he wasn't about to leave his lunch.

I take the kids out to the car, and wait patiently for Malen. When he comes out, he has ordered take out for the kids, Yeah, I was P.O'd!! How on earth do they learn their lesson, when their food gets delivered to them in the car? My thought was we'd drive all the way home, with them crying, we are hungry. GOOD, next time have manners.

But no, that was instantly gone, instead of just putting the food in the trunk, I go LOCO, on Malen. I am sure I had bottled up anger for the situation, and he was the perfect target.
Does he take is lying down, NOPE!.. HE is Mad as hell too, he was mad he ate alone and was so curtious to bring us food, and for no thanks, what so ever.

I will not go into all the details, but there was yelling, Get out of the car!! No, you get out of the car, and ended with me reaching into the Mexican Take out and throwing a chicken enchilada right into his face. Opps. guess I need to read, how to say sorry to your husband!

I am sure you have all given up on me, due to my lack of posting, and lack of commenting!!
Just so you know, I miss you all, ever since the cruise I have felt SO busy!!
I am not going to be blogging for the next week either, so I am sure by then you will have all forgotten about me!!

I will be back to blogging soon! Love ya all.

This was bound to happen!

SO, I just posted about the good in bed blog on my family and birth family blog! This day was bound to happen! I hope I caught it before any of them read it!! AHHH. Freaking out here a little!! I wrote the word oral sex for my mom to read. BLUSH!

So now my little post about the blog doesn't seem so important. This was the main point!
I said,
DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA!!

Why watch a Soap Opera when you can read the good in bed blog! I am not talking about the posts, I am talking about the comments. They post about oral sex and not one negative comment! (by me either by the way :)
they post about pedicures, and shaving, etc. and the claws came out!!
The comments were a fun read, and
I do not dare say that I quite favor pedicures now, I never knew how much controversy having a Oriental that doesn't speak English painting your toes while she makes fun of you would make!!

I'm Back

I am sorry my friends! Last week was SO crazy! getting home from the cruise, then it was Sky's birthday the day we got home, so with no time to rest, I had to go bday shopping for him, because I spoil my kids rotten, then my mom came to visit, then Sky got sick! then my computer went down! SO!! I am going to post a few highlights from the cruise and if you really care, and want to see a million photos you can go my other blog! I am going to post tons more photos on that blog, since my family and birth family read it, I figure they will be the ones who want to see a million photos of my kids on the beach!! I posted the first few days, and will be posting Mazatlan and Cabo tonight or in the morning! on my family blog! I will come by and say hi to you all tonight, I have been sick today and slept all afternoon, so now I need to go do chores, yeah me!

I am so sad I missed another meet and greet, my computer crashed last Thursday and I didn't even realize there was another one, til it was too late! Next Time I swear!!

Baby Day

We were SO excited for Sky to be born, Juanita's due date was November 15th, and we were on pins and needles! I woke up on November 17th and I told Malen I think today is baby day! "Oh whatever!" was what Malen said back to me. "No, really!! I can feel it, I think the baby is going to be born today!" 2 minutes later, Lynn our social worker calls and says "I just got a call from Tammie, she said Juanita had just seen the Doctor yesterday, and no news, looks like she will probably not have the baby over the weekend. "Ha, Malen said!" "I told you, you are just excited!"
I told Malen I don't care what he said, I had a feeling inside. About an hour later the phone rang again!! Juanita is in labor and at the hospital, she should have the baby really soon!!!
We were SO excited!! But instead of sitting by the phone, my friend came over and we went to lunch, all I could think about was Juanita. After lunch she and I went shopping and bought some baby needs, I had piles of clothes, but she said, you need the necessities, so we got wash clothes, diapers, nail clippers, and such!
We come home and Malen is pacing, "where have you been, Lynn has called here 3 times, but won't tell me anything until you get home!! "
We call Lynn back as fast as we can, and soon we are on a conference call with Tammie, who says Juanita has something she wants to tell us!!
Within a minute, she has Juanita on the phone, and Juanita tells us the baby is here! She told us about the labor and how cute Sky is, then Tammie slips and said "how much does he weigh?"
HE weigh?? WHAT? So I said, "now it is a girl right?" NO, IT IS A BOY!! Juanita announces to us. We all started laughing, we were so shocked, the ultra sound said it was a girl, we had tons and tons of girl clothes.
It was the best surprise of our lives, we were in shock for a few days, but it was so fun.
That was also the longest weekend of our lives also, I had peace in my heart and I knew that it would all work out, it was just LONG!!
I will post about the day we met Sky on Gotcha Day! As you all know, we have just got home from a FABULOUS Mexican Riviera cruise, and I have SO many photos and stories, but I am overloaded with laundry, and such so it will have to wait, but I wanted to share Sky's birth story since he just had his 8th birthday yesterday!!
We love you Sky!! You are an amazing little spirit, your smile makes my heart melt, you are so smart, and sweet. Your sister may disagree on the sweet part, but we know it is there! (on our cruise, Sky met this little buddy, and his buddy told me all Sky talks about is his sister!) Sky has blessed our lives and taught us so much, he is a miracle to me. To Tyler and Juanita, Judy, Anita and all our amazing birth family, we love you all so much, you have enriched and blessed our lives, we are so grateful for the love you have for us and Sky and Solee. I am grateful for the openness we have, and think of all of you as family.
