Late Mother's day update

-
    Mother's day for my MIL and I actually started Saturday. We did a bit of shopping... Well honestly a lot of shopping. That's literally all we did for 2 days. For the most part it was fun. So I'll start with the good.
   On the plus side while my MIL and i were out, we had a blast. We jammed to music, we talked, shopped, and just had a good time. We both got lots of new goodies. She talked me right into buying a traveler's notebook. I got quite a few new clothes. A new purse and matching wallet. I got some new makeup from Ulta beauty. And managed to even get the stuff to dye my hair back to my natural color with BRIGHT red highlights. 
     We really did have fun. But people, as usual, get on my nerves. All I heard was jealousy crap because mom and I were allotted money to go do as we pleased. I heard snide comments. And then to top it off when we got back to my inlaws, the house was dirty. To me that was a slap in her. After all she does to support her whole household, and she couldn't come home to at least the dishes being done?!?! I quickly brushed it off to salvage the remainder of the day, and ended it well.
    Over all it was a pretty good day. My heart was melted early Sunday morning when I heard from all of my kids (asides my step children). Even my friends daughter and son called me and wished me a happy mother's day. I had a wonderful day out with my MIL, and I got nearly $250 worth of new things. I call that a win.
    How was mother's day for the rest of y'all?

    I had a busy but great Mother's Day. This is the first year that my stepkids honored me on Mother's Day, so it was nice to finally be recognized for all that I do! The shopping trip sounds like a lot of fun. I found a great deal while we were traveling, stopped at a store we don't have out our way, and got myself a new purse too :)

This week in review

-
   I would be lying if I said this week has been any easier than the ones it followed. It's actually been more hectic than the weeks before. With school being out longer than what was originally foreseen, well it's been a pain in the ass. I'm actually hoping that school decides to tack on a week or two once they do return. This momma needs a break. But if we are being completely honest... I wish they would continue the school year through most of the summer.. or at very least offer summer schooling. I think that would be considered fair since my kids fight me so hard on doing their school work and turning it in on time. Homeschooling is definitely not for the faint of heart. It will drive you insane.     On the plus side of things, we got a midweek visit from Daddy. His load schedule allowed him to come home for 24 hours in between loads. So yay for us. Brandi and I both needed some Daddy time. The kids weren't so happy to see him though. They were all in trouble for g

In my feelings

                                       Okay, so I'll admit that lately the lack of a relationship with my parents has been weighing heavily on me. I look at my kiddos and see all the joy and happiness they bring me and wonder how can any parent not want that with their own flesh and blood... or with any child they lay claim to? My kids are the very reason I live and breath. While yes, there are plenty of times they cause what seems like and incurable migraine, they bring me so many happy moments as well.     I never got the feeling that I made either of my parents happy at any point. My father raised 3 children that were not his and didn't even meet me until I was 12. Then he didn't return until I was 17. Sad to say our moral values didn't align and that relationship was short lived. My mother raised me, mostly, but we never had a connection either. In fact most of my life I felt that I was a mistake and unwanted. That didn't change in my adult life either.        I

Just popping in

    Since quite a few of my followers only knew me by my blog, I've decided to do random pop ins. I wanted to let you all know that I am doing amazing. I've really been enjoying life. Daily visits to the park, and using my extra time to take care of myself. Today was a manicure, shopping, and girl time with my SIL. I'm currently on a trip out of town with the hubby to do some more shopping for myself and little man and a dinner date with my love.
