burritos and fajitas.

YUM! I had a nice holiday weekend. I got to spend Sunday with my sweet little family at the Apple Orchard in 90 degree weather... I loved every minute of it, including wiping the sweat from by boys' brows. Despite the sweltering heat, we did polish off a bag of donuts and of course a half gallon of Cider. I am surprised we did not get ill from all the sugar! I found the clearance section and scored some CUTE fall decor, I think that may be an addiction... After the Orchard, we headed into town to look at all the home improvement stores, and just as I thought... everything we needed was too expensive while everything we wanted was sold out. Good, because I went home and did some online shopping...another addiction... Visited Kohls.com, found a patio set we wanted- used a gift card, 25% off, earned $40 Kohls cash and our patio set will be here in a couple of days... why cant all shopping be this easy?! I am pretty excited for our set to arrive, we have not had patio furniture since Nov 2011 from the huge storm that blew through Harvard when Jordan was just 6 weeks old. It will be nice to relax outside if the weather ever is tolerable. At least it will be here for us to enjoy this fall and for Jordy's party...speaking of Jordy's party. Josh and I have started planning Jordan's 2nd birthday-I am so excited about it, I cannot sleep! I really am not sure what his 3rd birthday will entail after planning this one, but I better get a second job... and addiction number three rears its ugly face... ;) I am going to get back to Pinterest on my phone for fall decorations and party ideas, while I look at Etsy and Target for cute things at bargain prices...

I didn't feel like waving either.

My dear neighbor mom-friend: don't feel bad that you didn't wave at me as I drove down the block. I saw your hands full of groceries. I knew you were trying to carry every last bag so you didn't have to make two trips.  And you know what, don't feel bad that you don't want me to realize your kids are sleeping in the car while you bring the groceries in, as I see the car is still running.  I always wonder who will call the cops when I do it, too. Dear down-the-street- mom-friend: don't feel guilty for not inviting my kids to your kids' birthday parties. It really is ok. We have so many things we can do together without the formality of a party and presents.  Speaking of presents: I really wanted to bake you something for moving to the neighborhood 4 years ago... But I forgot. But please know, the intention was there.  Dear fellow mom: thank you for watching my kids even though I know your plans weren't involving my sweeties. I hope you don't regret gi...

It's not a waste of time, if it made someone feel better

Today I did something I never, ever thought I would actually do. I stood up to someone for a hurting friend that couldn't find the right words express her heart. It was NONE of my business, had nothing to do with me, and I did what I did the most 'high-school' way possible. I may or may not have been a B. EH, who am I kidding, it could have been way worse... my convictions get the best of me, but I was calm. After it is said and done, I feel relief for my friend and hope she secretly isn't mad at me for kamikazing my way into her private life, she definitely didn't have a choice. Her sweetness made it seem like a burden was unexpectedly lifted- as for her heart; I will have to be the glue for a while. I do not care what the situation is(isnt he in jail?): if something is not right, it is so hard to sit back and watch it. I have been in plenty of crappy situations and hoped that someone would just fix it since I was at a loss. Right or wrong, it's done an...
