Sleepover Memories...

After I pick Roxy up from school I always ask her how was her day, did she eat all her lunch, what kind of work did she do, did she meet any new friends etc. She always answers back and tells me what she did etc.  And today starting talking about her new friends and what they are like and asks me about having a sleep over.

I told her i would think about it since we just moved a month ago where still in the unpacking process so there's still a lot going on at home but, between me and you I was screaming inside "of course a sleep over is great how much fun it can be"

I asked her what she would want to eat and do and of course candy, pizza, and cookies came out and then of course to watch icarley,Hannah,big time rush etc.

It got me thinking about sleepovers when i was younger and what we did and I thought I would share some of my sleepover moments and I think i am old enough to not get in trouble for whatever i did back then :)

 When I was probley 11 or 12 I had a sleepover and thought it would be an amazing idea to eat a whole bag of pop rocks and down a soda on a dare ( if anyone knows the whole story "MYTH" about Mikey from the life cereal box dying from doing that it was a big time dare) So i open my pop rocks and down my soda and no i didn't die. BUT, it drank so much soda so fast pop rocks and soda shot out of my nose all over are sofa. So if your ever dared to do this no you won't die but, your nose might tingle for a while.

 Then at another sleep over when i was in 8th grade or so me and a group of my friends decided to play light as a feather stiff as a board.

if you don't know the game one person lays down and everyone gathers around them and places on finger underneath and tries to pick them up while saying "light as a feather stiff as a board"

During this time the movie the craft was a HUGE deal and were swore that we picked our friend up. The whole night we were way to scared to sleep cause we were sure there was a ghost with us.

When I was in junior high I thought I was so cool so my and my "BFF" thought that it would be great to prank call people so we spent the whole night calling and asking people if there fridge was running and when they would answer "yes" we should scream why don't you go catch it... wow we weren't cool at all we were so dumb lol!

And everyone has there own TP/wrapping a house with toilet paper story! I was in 8th grade and me and my friends thought it was the best idea ever after it rained to go TP our friends house so we grabbed the TP and dressed all in black and went out at midnight. We got there and TPed the house and everything was going great til a dog came by and starting barking and we all got scared and ran off i was running in the grass and slipped and hit my head on the stop sign: if any lesson was learned from this it probably was never TP a house after it rains and make sure you have dog food with you cause I can honestly say I have more TP adventures and i didn't learn my lesson i have more TP'ING stories but I will share those another day lol

Now that I think of all the things I did maybe I can wait til sleepovers begin j.k. I am cool mom :) and I want roxy to have fun so bring on the nail polish, makeup, tv shows, dress up and junk food cause my lil girl isn't a baby anymore and she deserves the fun just as much as i did!

My name is Jen and I am a... OVER PLANNER

Its so sad and so true! I over plan everything! I didn't realize until Sunday how bad my obsession is! Grady and I were eating at Star Pizza (if you have never been you NEED to go!! It's incredible they even have whole wheat crust) and I was talking to him about Bella's 2nd birthday and what theme we should go with and he looked up and me and said you realize it is only August right and her birthday is in March.... well of course I realize that! Well maybe i realize that ummm no i guess i don't realize that cause I love to plan! And it's not just birthday party's its everything. Christmas, birthday gifts, redecorating, grocery list, even packing. If we go on vacation I will plan weeks in advance write down everything i need to take even what colors bras etc to bring I told you it's an obsession. But, by far the worest is the girls birthday party's I have a binder with divders in it....

1. birthday theme - this is the 1st step process where i go online or kids magazines and look at the different themes, i try to not get pre-done themes i like to make things by own so there will be print out of things i think are cute example: bella had a zebra themed 1st birthday i went to hobby lobby and saw zebra tissue paper and it went from there!
2. THE THEME DECOR- this a a huge one in the binder this is where i pick colors and I find things on websites for decor where i even will map out rooms in the house or backyard to place things
3. Invites and Guest List- where have invite ideas and the guest list of people attending with there addresses and rsvp check list
4. CAKE- the most important part of the birthday party where i will find cake ideas online and do my own drawings for cakes.
5. FOOD- the divider section where i list food ideas and where i put the grocery list
6. Party Favors- I told you this obsession was sick i even have a sections for kids favors and i normaly try to even have adult favors as well
7. Gifts- What's a party without gifts where i write down gifts and figure out what kind of gifts bags and wrapping paper i use.
8. Outfit- Yes i even plan what they have to wear and i wont lie i plan out what i am going to wear
If your nice i might upload a pic or two of this binder :)

Yes... it's one of those serious type of posts

i have no idea why i cant turn this picture so just turn your head...

Being a mother is an amazing thing. My two girls are my world. We have had ups and downs like any other family but bottom line I try to do what's best for Roxy and Bella. I will admit to anyone that my parenting might but be perfect but, let's face it who's is. Mistakes happen everyone makes them. Some big some small but mistakes happen everyday. Today was Roxy's 1st day of school. She had a million emotions going through her: she was happy,scared, sad, excited, shy (between me and you she was yelling on the inside) worried, and nervous all at the same time. I walked her into her classroom and she had one tear run down the side of her cheek. It took everything I had in me not to cry myself. I told her I loved her and not to cry and I would be there to pick her up when school gets out. As I walked to my car I realized I don't think I am as bad as a parent as I think. My daughter cried cause she does love me she will miss me but, she does know I will be back. She will meet friends and things will get easier but, I will always remember today and that look she gave me. This being kind of personal I will share some things about my life as a mother. Roxy and Bella have two different dads. Roxy's dad was apart of her life til she was 3 and then decided that wasn't what he wanted. As a mother I try to balance things. Bella's dad is in her life and sees her 2 to 4 times a week depending whats going on. I deal daily with trying to make Roxy feel included and Bella feeling like her daddy is her daddy. Its a hard struggle and balance. I bitch at times about how I wish this was this way or that was this way but in the end it is what it is. Being a co-parent is hard when one parent isn't there everyday... everyday to hear the screams but also to see the funny things as well, its hard bottom line being a parent is hard, nothing is ever perfect...The mom that has to work that wants to be home,the one that is trying to better themselves, or the parent who's out of work that needs to go to work,or the parent that is doing it all alone, the parent that has the happy home from the outside but inside is screaming to want out etc. Everyone has a tag or a label or something they wish they could change, maybe forever or maybe just at the moment.  I am a mother and I am there for my girls. People seem to think that its not normal to complain it is and it is hard but, it is what it is and it's not going to change. With that said my blog is about my life and my feelings and It's my life and my kids. I AM NOT PERFECT BUT I AM THERE MOM AND I WILL DO THINGS MY WAY... it may not be perfect but, I have two pretty amazing kids and they couldn't have gotten that way all on there own.

Side note: I love comments, i mean love them they make my day! They make me wanna do cartwheels and scream WOOOOOOO!!! But, comments that are going to be super personal or not kind I don't need so please when you comment remember it's not just me reading them! Thanks!

Bella's daddy is a winner... well his band is they won best metal by houston press

Well Bella's daddy's band won the Houston press best metal band last week! So I decided that i should honor him and make Bella a cute shirt! So I did! And i must happen to say I think its pretty darn cute! We going to take Bella to totspot at the Children's museum on Sunday and I am going to let her rock that shirt! I probably don't tell him much (between me and you I give him hell for being in the bands he is in) but, he is pretty good and he deserves to win she has a pretty amazing daddy who one day will teach her to rock out on her own guitar... like father like daughter! Here is a clip of the song you made for her and its called what else "Bella"!!

Well after a lot of thought and talking with Roxy we decided to drop ballet and tap and enter the world of competitive cheer leading! Roxy loves dance and tumbling and we decided with a a lot of thought that we would put both of them together. I have been looking around for a good cheer leading center in our area and to my surprise there are so many to pick from. I am going to go check them out and see which one is best for her and our family. I am really hoping she likes this!
