No Children Please

So you know when you get an invite & it says, "No Children Please," but you get to the place & there's always who brought their kids anyways? That's just wrong. Why do people make it so hard & complicated? I'm a mother & I have no problem with this because I understand that there's parties for everyone. There's kids birthday parties & then there's adult parties. If I get an invite that says no kids allowed I either find someone to watch my kids or I don't show up, but I do not disrespect the host's request!

Here's an actual story, but I'm going to change the people's names.

My sister in law (Jennifer) & her sister (Rikki) planned a dinner with all their friends & they just wanted it to be the adults, they get together plenty with all the kids, they just wanted a nice night out at a restaurant where all the adults could just hang out. Well, when Rikki called one of their mutual friends (Peggy) to see if she had received the email invite & she said she had, but that she had no one to watch her 2 yr old, so she was thinking of bringing him anyways. She said, "I don't think anyone will mind." Rikki was taken a back & didn't know what to say. Then, Peggy asked her, "Who's in all coming?" Rikki said who was coming & mentioned my brother & Jennifer. What was her surprise when Peggy said, "Oh, yeah, they definitely won't mind! I'll just bring him along!" Well, Rikki was left speechless, she didn't know how to tell her to not bring her boy. So Rikki called Jennifer to tell her what happened & Jennifer called me all upset because she they were thinking of just canceling the dinner instead.

You see, the thing is that they had already had a dinner previous to this that was also "no children" & Peggy had brought her boy along anyways. What happened is that they went to a restaurant where the owner was friends with Jennifer & she was so embarrassed because Peggy's boy was screaming the whole time & throwing food around. There was food all over the floor & at one point the boy threw his food across the table & it landed on Jennifer's plate. By this time she was so upset that she didn't even finish her food, she just moved her plate to the side. All the time Peggy & her husband where laughing cause they thought it was the cutest thing ever! ??? It's their first child, so they assume that everyone else is in awe of him just like they are, but boy are they wrong!

So anyways, yeah, how can parents not realize what a pain in the behind their kids are being? Do they really not see, or do they just act like they don't see it? Or are they so blinded by it cause they really think that everyone else thinks their kid is that adorable too?

There is always a reason why it says, "No Children Please" & even if we refuse to believe it... our kid might be the reason why it says that. So never assume that no one "will mind" cause they do. There's plenty of kids birthday parties & we already spend plenty of time at home with our kids, it's okay to spend time alone with other adults every once in a while. You'll plate will remain free from other people's dirty food. =)

Snoring Husband

Ok, I'm sooo tired of my husband's snoring! He snores so much! He literally sounds like a bear. He wears one of those masks to stop his snoring during the night, but he always takes it off & snores anyway. I wake him up & he says, "I'm trying to sleep." To which I say, "Me too!" I've told him to go sleep in the garage, but he won't listen...argh! Well, we are hoping to move to our new house soon & that one has an extra room. I tell him I'm going to sleep in the baby's room & he can have our room all by himself, but he doesn't want me too. I don't care! When the baby's not waking me up for a feeding, my husband's waking me up with his snoring, or better yet, he wakes up the baby with his snoring! Then, it takes forever for the baby to go back to sleep & who has to deal with him? That's right... me! My husband just turns around & goes right back to sleep, it is sooo annoying! The thing is that it's so hard to wake him up when he's snoring, that I've had to pinch him, splash him with water, poke him, smack him in the back, I've slammed the machine in his face, I know it makes me sound bad, but trust me, it doesn't phase him! The house could be tumbling down on him & he wouldn't know it!!! Anyways, I'm just venting cause I'm the one that's supposed to be taking a nap right now & he's the one snoring away & making the dogs bark outside with his loud bear noises.

Good night everyone!!!

Hi - New at this...

Hello world!

I'm new at this, but trust me I have lots on my mind! About almost everything! I've been wanting to have a blog for a long time, I just didn't want to do it on my normal net page cause I kind of want to stay anonymous.

I am married with kids & it's kind of crazy, but I love it! My husband & I are very different in everything! I'm a neat freak, he likes to drop his stuff everywhere. I am more old school, he is more open minded. I hate cooking, he loves to cook! When it comes to the kids he is more over protective & I am more like we can't keep them under this little bubble... you know?

Anyways, my baby is up, so I have to go get him, but I will definitely be back to blog a loooot about what's on my mind!
