Frustrations

To say I am frustrated is an understatement. I'm so glad that I have my husband to bring me down and helps me stay grounded. He is definitely nothing short of amazing! My frustration is with parents. Yes, I am a parent. Yes, I'm guilty of failing sometimes. I'm just appalled at how some parents treat their children. I'm know that we, as parents, don't always do the right things. I am PAINFULLY aware of that. I just don't understand how a parent that has 2 or more children can look at one child and be ecstatic at how happy that child is and look at their other children and brush them off like they don't even exist because they don't agree with that child's decisions.
I had a whole rant typed up and then decided to delete it. I'm sure that no one really cares to hear my opinion, and that's okay. I know everyone doesn't agree with me. My biggest question is, "Is it okay to acknowledge one child because of their happiness, but completely disregard another child when they are equally or even more happy?"
Anyways, I have a ton of homework to do, and even more packing and laundry and cleaning...I'm sure blogging isn't the best use of my time right now =)

Anew...

Well, it has been a while since I have blogged. I decided that since I am posting for the first time in a year, I would start fresh. New look. New title. New news.
Do we have any new news? Not really. We are just living life and loving God!
We are moving soon, to another rental. We are blessed that our landlords have a bigger house available, and they offered it to us before anyone else. It is in a better city with better schools and closer to everything we love. I told my husband that I can't get very far from a Wal-Mart or Target, and we will have both within 4 miles! Now, I just have to get to packing.
I am almost done with school!! Yay!!! I will finish school in September and have my degree in Early Childhood Education. Will I use my degree? Probably not right away. I enjoy staying at home with my kiddos! If an opportunity arises for me to go back to work, I might take it. We'll see.
Other than that, life is amazing. Kids are growing. It is hard to believe that Snowball will be 1 in less than 2 months! It just stinks that we can't have a big celebration for him like we did the others, based on the fact that getting our families to be civil and in the same place at the same time is IMPOSSIBLE!! I don't want to deal with the stress. We will just have our own party and he will enjoy it!
I will leave you today with a picture. Isn't the resemblance uncanny?? (Poor picture quality, it comes from my husband's cell phone)
