anual year in review!!!

hello,

here is my anual year in review post for 2012!

January- major blur.....edynn was soooooo fussy, i was just praying she would sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time. we had edynns baby blessing. it was awesome and gave me a chance to reconnect with some old friends and have a "girlfriend" back. all in all, january was a decent month and much better than expected. i hate january the most of all the months, but this one was pretty good.

February- jay and i went to Wendover and saw the Barenaked Ladies play. they were awesome and it was a good relaxing weekend trip......i dont remember any other benchmarks for this month. :)

March- just hung out this month, nothing spectacular happened.

April- gage-o turned 8 years old this month. we went to bucket-o-crawfish for his birthday and it was really fun. he had such a good time, he even got a shark cake for his b-day.

May- gage got baptised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. it was a wonderful baptism. jays parents showed up but i thought more people would have came. it was ok, it was an intimate gathering and very special to me. im so glad jay was able to baptise gage. gage even got a new suit for his baptism. gage also fell on a pointy stump in the front yard and poked it throug his thigh requiring a whole bunch of huge stitches and resulted in one gnarly scar.

June- jays b-day was this month and he had a good time. jay, unfortunately lost his job this month. but he got a new job at wal-mart in 9 days to tide us over until he could find a better job. i always thought i would freak out if jay ever lost his job. i didnt, i was abnormally at peace durring this time. it was a good "life lesson" to have this happen. i believe, baby edynn started rolling over this month also. we also enjoy going to westfest in june. and we had a wonderful time!

July-  it was sooooo hot! and you know, the 4th of july festivities and all.......

August- keltys b-day was this month and she started school too. she was so excited and brave to go to kindergarten, her teacher is mrs. brimley and she is great. gage has mrs. adams and is having a good time at school this year, he's made some good friends and is doing well. we had to forgo our idaho trip this month on account of the finances...or lack thereof. we were sad but grateful for the job jay does have.

September- this month just wizzed by. mackelty had her first clean brain scan! no tumors!!!!!

October- halloween of course. edynn was a baby lamb, gage was a vampire and kelty was a monster high doll. they were so cute!

November- turkey day! we went to chuck-a-rama for thanksgiving. edynn turned 1! and jay got a new job! yay! yay!

December- holidays took up the whole month!

well, a better year it was. even though we had a big set back we also had many blessings. and it was a pretty good year, if i dont say so myself. much better than 2011! so, on to 2013. we'll see what you bring us! bring it on!

ive been doing alot of self evaluation lately. although i have a ton of "deep issues" i also have a couple other things that were suprising to discover.
ive always like perfume and girly things. in fact, i LOVE perfume, shoes, hair bows, makeup, clothes etc. Buuuuuuuuut, things have been scaled way back since i got married to jay and had babies. now the kids need stuff more than i do. and ya know, i would rather buy stuff for my kids than myself anyways. there have been multiple times that i went to the store with the intent on buying something for myself and end up coming home with something for the kids. its mommy syndrome. and its good.

so, even though i discovered i have mommy syndrome i think i have a touch of the "consumer reports" too. now, if i go to the store to buy something, i usually buy the thing that has the best "quality". and yes, ive even checked consumer repports on things too. when it comes to my girly things im going for the better quality. nope, lucky perfume used to do the job. even victorias secret stuff used to do the job, but now im into ralph lauren perfumes and more "high quality" girly things. i am so enjoying going to macys durring the holiday season. ive always loved macys anytime of the year but its always better durring the holidays.

i so love looking for bargains on my expensive girly things. ive always wanted a guess red felt p.coat. i found one but nothing made by guess will fit me. sooooooo, to attain my p.coat i must lose weight. this is a different post altogether. i guess.....no pun intended :) what im trying to ramble on about is that walmart will simply not do for daydreaming, its on to dillards!

man, i wish my wish list wasnt so expensive........darn

just a little rant

so whats up with people thinking they can say anything anyway they want to people?

Call me sensitive, and yes i tend to be. But i do have a failrly thick skin when it comes to things being said to me. I take crap all the time from patients at work but my co-workers, come on! I think people you work with should try to be a little more careful about the way they say things to others. Im not completely innocent from having "a tone" on occassion but i NEVER NEVER say anything to degrade others or make them feel stupid.
And ya know the worst part? the people that have the worst attitudes are people in management here. Its not my direct boss,nor did anyone say anything particularly offensive to me or about me. Im mainly talking about attitude. Dont get all crazy and short with people because they have questions or circumstances out of their control.
Just a few weeks ago i heard and watched one of the "bosses" make fun of and brush off a question from a "subordinate" it was so rude! as she was walking down the hall she was waiving her hands and yelling "no, no just no" to this other persons question. ooooh, it infuriated me. Dont act like that at work. prefessionalism anyone?
this is just one of those things you cant get away from. if any of these people were to ask me directly what i thought about them i would tell them the truth. plain and simple. i would tell them the truth about how they act and how they make others feel. i wouldnt get all crazy and start having an attitude because a 29 year old girl like me is more mature than a 40 something like you.
grow up people! think about how you act to the people you work with everyday.

you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

and a little side note, i dont care if youre stressed and had a hard shift. you dont need to act like a total beast to the people around you. i flat out, dont care what your night was like and your stress is not my problem :)
