Get this off my CHEST

Rob asked when I will be over it?? I am not sure maybe this is my final attempt. I signed up to help with cub scout camp monthes ago.. Rob's job is picking up and there is always the hope that I will get to work less soon. I was hoping not to be working by now. As we were setting up for camp I noticed that they really have it set up so that you can have siblings there.. BRILLIANT..I was going to put my sister out all week and have her watch my kids, so I could work the camp but realized it would be easier to keep my other three there at the camp. Andrea(director of the camp) is accomadating (LOVE THAT ABOUT HER) so she said that would be fine. I called Tiffany and told her I would see how it goes on Monday and if it works out she would be off the hook. So Monday a couple hours into camp. Our Den was sitting doing our craft and Jaynee started to fuss mind you she had been in the 80 degree sun all morning and was also tired. I went one table over where I could still observe the boys but was not directly in their eyeshot and started to nurse her. This lady bolts over and says "You NEED to find a more appropriate place to nurse her." I said you did not just say that to me. She said ya well I nursed three kids but I don't think you should be nursing here or could you cover her. I said there is NO exposure here and she will not take a blanket over her head (especially in 80 degrees) Mind you I have an Xtra large mens Tshirt on and I am very well covered. I said I could go to the Le Leche Legue for you even coming over here. She said well I am not representing the scouts I am just coming over as a parent of one...I can't even tell how TICKED OFF that whole interaction made me... Really? Really? I think part of it was her approach Don't come over with your Type A personality and tell me what to do. Especially when it is not in the best interest of my child.. Come on.. like I am a big fan of nursing in public.. who is? You put yourself aside and do what is best for your child. Not one of those boys in our Den... Thank Heavens for Karalee who took on more than her share as a den mom because she was paired up with me, even thought twice about me nursing Jaynee all week along side them infact I bet most of them were completely OBLIVIOUS to it. She probably had good intentions and I should probably be over it by NOW...I hate confrontation but really I should Thank her because she reminded me that when it comes to my children...Don't mess with this mother Lion!

Beach

one of my favorite things about summer...Especially when Rob is with us and I am not the jungle gym..

Las Vegas

So it was not the ideal vacation. We had planned on Yellowstone. However it was a vactation and it was with family and my children had a blast. Seth is now saying he was born in Las Vegas... Brianna grumbled about the heat when we were out sight seeing (we walked a few city blocks to the Coca Cola and M&M stores)Why did they build a desert in Vegas anyways??? Isaac was concerned Leah had gambled because she put her money in the claw machine at the arcade. Really I didn't mind the Excalibur it isn't great but I have stayed at worse hotels. The only problem was that we were in Tower one and the pool is on the otherside so we paraded across the entire casino everyday to get to the pool and then back again so if you stay there make sure to get Tower 2. I am a little disappointed we didn't get to go to the Tournament of Kings. Maybe next trip. Jaynee took her first step at the Excalibur so I guess it will be forever etched in my heart.

Sexiest Man on the planet

Every once in a while I see him the same as I did in the very beginning.When he is playing with the children wrestling around on the floor, or walking with them out to the waves at the beach. What a blessing to have him around. Six pack or not he is an amazing husband father and friend.

10 YEARS

10 years ago I was getting married, to a handsome boy. He is now the man of my dreams, the father of my children and more to me than I ever could have imagined. I don't know what I would do without the spirit's direction in my life. I do know that its direction has planned my life far better than I could have.

Blessed

Sometimes I feel truely blessed. I am so greatful for my FAMILY. I am connected to so many wonderful people on both Rob's and my side.
