My BIGGEST "pet peeve"

I have alot of "pet peeves" one of my biggest is when people over the age of 4 ask the same questions over and over again! It drives me crazy. Patrons at work do it, family does it, my child has another year before I start getting irritated about him doing it =D. I just cannot understand why people can't accept the answer they have been given and drop it. I'll ask you once and maybe a second time if it seems you have forgotten and I'll leave it at that. If only more people did that. If I need something I will ask, if something came in for you at the library we will call you. Jeez people Patience is a virtue and not repeatedly asking people the same questions tends to make people like you more.

It's been awhile

I haven't posted anything in awhile. I was reminded of this the other day when a friend asked for the link to my blog. So I figured I should update my blog for my curious viewers. We are almost 2 weeks into this deployment and for the most part we are doing great. Gabriel recently turned 3 his birthday party was a success! We had so much fun. I realized that I enjoy having my house to myself, and any ideas I was entertaining about staying with family while John is gone have gone out the window. I'm just not capable of dealing with other peoples emotions in regards to John's deployment. I can handle Gabriel being upset about his Daddy being gone but I just can deal with anyone elses emotions. I've decided to stay home for Thanksgiving my Big Little brother is coming and bringing some friends! I am also staying home for Christmas my parents are supposed to be coming this will be the first Christmas I have spent with them in four years!! Some people don't realize that it has been four years since I last spent Christmas with my family but I haven't forgotten. I've also come to realize that I am not catering to other people anymore. This is John and I's life and we are Gabriel's parents we do not have to make other people happy nor do we have to answer to anyone else. I'm glad John has also decided to no longer cater to others. Gabriel and I spent the weekend crafting and somewhat being lazy. We made a countdown ribbon chain to John's homecoming and Gabriel worked on some Halloween crafts with my best friend Allison while I made them dinner. I enjoy being able to cook without Gabriel asking 50 questions =D. We cleaned the house a bit Gabriel now has four chores he is responsible for now he has to set the dinner table each night, pick up his toys, make his bed, and put his clothes in the laundry. So far he has taken to it well I told him at the end of the week he gets 1 dollar as long as he does his chores. That is all I have for now I'll post later with some pictures of the ribbon chain and Gabriel's birthday. TTFN
