Friday Friday!

I LOVE Fridays! They are the best because within hours the hubs will be home all weekend, kids have no school, and we can all hang together:) My mom is comin tonight to stay over till Sat. She comes about once a month to stay because she thinks we live so so far..LOL. We live about an hour from her! Its fun to have her over though the kids love it too so its always a good time. Last weekend our plans to get all the stuff we have lagged on around the house was altered we had my newborn neice all weekend because her parents were moving. I said I would keep her to help them out. So nothing but the swingset got done! This weekend we are gunna try and get some more stuff done. My husband might work a side job with his electrician buddy which sucks because he works on Sat., but good because he makes good money and really he is not gone too long. Oh and Friday is family movie night the kids always look forward to that and my husband brings home popcorn from his work for them (they have a machine at his job for all the customers) I laugh when I think all the electrician guys goin in there leaving with their little bags of popcorn..LOL! Have a great weekend all!

Spoiled...I try not to be

I seriously have a bad case of the spoiled brat! I have been basicaly spoiled my whole life by everyone around me. My mom, grandma,my dad (especially that man has never spanked me or done anytype of physical punishment my WHOLE life!) If I wanted something I got it from one parent or the other. My mom and dad have been split up since I was 2 so I basically got 2 of everything which made my spolied bratness even worse. I wasent a bad kid or bratty in a behavior way just a I want what I want way...LOL. Well now to this day I still struggle with it! My poor husband bears the burden now!I just have a hard time with the fact that we dont always have the money for things I want.My dad and husband will even laugh at me together because my dad will tell myhusband "She doesnt need that"....then my husband will say " I tell her hey you raised her"..LOL. My husband will always get me what I want because thats the kind of man he is. I just feel like a brat I wish I dident feel the need to get all the stuff I "think" I need to have. I have to have MAC makeup, get my nails done, go to the hair salon every 2 months or so 80 bucks a pop if Im lucky these are just mainatanence fees! I am obsessed with household decor all that stuff I just feel the need that I have to have things that I really dont. Money that should be saved I always spend. I will se something I want knowing I should skip it and save the money , but I cant fight the urge.I am the same way with my kids I over buy toys, movies, just I simply overbuy. You should see our garage they have 2-3 bikes each, a ton of sports stuff, water table, wagon, lots of stuff. I just wish I was a better money manager and would lose the whole spoiled thing. My husband always tells me you are so spoiled and I know he is not saying that in a fun haha way he is serious and I feel bad that I put that pressure on him. For instance we are looking for a smaller vehicle. I now drive a Envoy XL. Its really big and its just me and my lil man most of the days and we dont have big bulky car seats anymore so I suggested we get an economy car. So my spoiled ass ended up at the LEXUS dealer. Lets just put it this way if the dealership would have came up with a slightly better percentage rate my hubby would have bought me the lexus. He instead told me lets wait till December when they are wanting to get the 09's out so its a better deal. Come on I LOVE that car, but its really expensive and my husband would never chose to get a car at that price he just is doing it because he knows I want it. I should be much more frugal and get a car that fits out family better and is cheaper. I am workin on it here so stay tuned...LOL. On the plus side I took my nails off atleast until Nov. the start of the holidays:) I am not doing my hair as often and just trying to stay home so I am not tempted. I am really trying I dont wanna stress my hubby out he is the best guy ever and he does not need extra stress. I stay home with my kids, go to college, we have nice stuff, he just bought our family a brand new beutiful house I need to realize some people would kill for my life so the need to keep buying stuff when it is not even neccesary! I am not terrible or anything I mean we are not talking I but lavish things by any means Im talking 20 picture at Kohls, 25 jeans, starbucks,ect. but it all adds up. Especially with Xmas comin I need to cut back that alone scares me!

Nothing exciting to talk about here...good thing or bad thing hmm?

So this week has been pretty uneventful nothing exciting to tak about. I did however decorate this weekend for Halloween I will post pics later that was fun. We basically started from scratch with Halloween decor we dident really have anything so we got a few things this year to start:) Saturday my MIL wanted to take my Dominic for the week she doesent work and enjoys having them over I said well I will probally get him wednesday and my hubby is on his way to get him...LOL. I was sad because we would call him every eve to say hi and he would cry and say he wanted to come home so what is a mama to do I cant have my baby cryin:( I did however have a good time relaxing during the day with nobody here, but ya know what I noticed..I am a useless bum if I have no kids around.Seriously I just wanna lay in bed and do NOTHING when I should be doing stuff that is much easier to get done with no rugrats around. No..I dont I choose to be the definition of lazy and do nothing so neddless to say my kiddos give me drive and especially my lil man he keeps me on my toes! So heres to a chaotic and "normal " rest of the week!

Attention moms of pre-teens HELP!

So my daughter just turned 10 yrs old is driving me NUTZ lately! Dont get me wrong she is a really good kid rarely ever has gotten into any trouble at school or gets into any serious trouble here at home. Her main thing is CARELESSNESS or plain out LAZYNESS maybe?? Since she has started school up again she has has alot of homework every night well some nights more than others. I always look over it and let her know if anything is wrong help her out ect.Well just about ever darn time I check her homework there are just plain out careless mistakes. She will ususally have the correct awnser, but say she writes her math problems so messy and fast you can hardly make them out. Her spelling she will have incorrect words when the words are written on the page in the question right before her eyes. I warm her of this all the time yet she continues to make just carelss mistakes. It is not even a matter of can she or cant she do things I will ask her what is wrong with this word she will say its spelled wrong and proceed to give me the correct awnsers, She can write neatly when she puts the effort in. I am just so frustrated I tell her your awnsers that are correct quickly become incorrect because of just dumb mitsakes! Is this normal stuff for a kid this age or what I am confused here? Then this morn right before she gets outta the car she says here mom you need to sign this its a note that she pinched one of her friends in P.E.! I was s upset she just showed me the darn thing instead of showing me last night then why the heck would she do that for anyway? GRRRRRR I am so frustrated with her I have taken privledges all the normal stuff it just seems like nothing really gets her to "get" it ya know? Any suggestions anything anyone??
