While sitting and enjoying Chipotle, my 3 year old sits across from me, staring me down. Though he has just finished off a meal form McDonalds.
"I want some chips", he says.
I reply "They are spicy" (I do love my spicy!)
We go back and forth a few times, me reminding him that he has just eaten. Finally, I tell him that I will place him in the naughty spot if he keeps on.
"Those are chips, I want some" he says one more time
I stand up and approach him saying, "All right, you can go to the naughty spot."
Quickly he responds, "Fine, fine, fine! They are spicy!"
That little one sure knows how to put a smile on your face! I laughed so much after that. I never knwo what to expect!

Red Box
I wanted to share the magic of Red Box (incase you don't already know). It is way cheaper than blockbuster and you are charged on a nightly basis. If you are curious and want to check it out, just click the hyperlink above! You can get a free nights rental and try it out. Plus, you will be helping me as well, we are helping each other :-)! Thanks!

The Craziness Ensues!
It has been awhile. I know. Here are the events since I last posted:
We have relocated from Canada and are now stateside. We are still in the process of the move. The drive took us 5 days to get us to our destination and along the way we were able to stop to visit a friend and see Mt. Rushmore. Sight-seeing went better than I expected. Roo, my oldest, fell in love with Abraham Lincoln. They cannot wait to go back and take visiting family members to see it. We have been "stuck" in hotels since mid-April and it is driving me INSANE! Behold the light at the end of the tunnel..., we will have the keys to our house in a week! I am excited, though it will begin new aggravations (should we paint before we receive our household goods?) and stress (unpacking and setting up yet another home) but I believe sitting dormant for the last month has me looking forward to the challenges. That is all for the update for myself, we now move onto my close but extended family.
My mother has gone through, yet another dramatic divorce. It all started when she learned that my stepdad built and used a meth lab in their outside attic. Endangering my little brother was unacceptable, so she had him arrested and filed for a divorce. You can imagine the drama that went on. Then my sister's husband rolled my mom's car with both, my nephew and brother with him. Luckily no one was hurt and the vehicle repaired. My mom has thought of trying to move out here within the next year, I'm still not sure if that will happen. She craves for a new start and to get away from the associations the family has made, because the majority are not people you should be around. My sister, Tiffany, the one who's husband rolled the car, found out about our mom looking to move. Tiffany decided to go ahead and move farther south where her dad lives. This, of course, happened after the line of tornadoes hit the area and right before Mother's Day. Mom took it personally and more drama and back and forth with mom and Tiffany. Then before you know it, my other sister, Alecia got into on the premise of "protecting" Tiffany and her husband, Andrew. Well..., let me tell you that (in my opinion) Andrew is a jerk and no should take up for him. He has always been a druggie, addicted to pain medication, he thinks he is better than everyone else, he runs his mouth yelling and arguing with all of us (we each had a turn with him) and Tiffany just lets him go but will not let you dish it out with him. Tiffany enables his behavior and it is just so FRUSTRATING!! Anyway, that was to just give you some insight. Now, after all this Tiffany and mom have made up, Alecia and mom are still on the fritz, mom is contemplating working things out with my stepdad if and when he completes rehab, and Andrew is still a jackass.
Now, some of you may wonder after all that happened what there is to say about my mom getting back with my stepdad..., well there are alot of people who give her crap about it, my sisters included. Me? All I have to say is (the way I look at it with Tiffany and Andrew) is I'm not marrying him. I am not expected to put up with his crap, deal with him everyday, and it's not my business what they do. Do what makes you happy and we can still be close. I may have certain restrictions (i.e. with Andrew, if they were to come visit, he cannot come into my house) but as long as you don't feel the need to remind people that you hate who they are with and you can continue your relationship with just you and that person...., it's doable.
Well, that about sums it up, I know there will be those who are unhappy with what I said. I do not intend to start anything, It's my blog and I write it as I see it.
