Whew and Ewww!!

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing wonderful. We have finally recouped after a long weekend! My sister in law got married Saturday and of course there are bridesmaid luncheons rehearsals, dinners, etc. and then the big day is full of pictures. All of us except little Tyleigh were in the wedding so it was ALOT! Hard with her nursing to. But we made it and now Anthony and Karis are married. I was queasy all day and ended up throwing up Saturday. With me you never know if it is anxiety and nerves or what... I suffer horribly from panic attacks. Monday Keane got sick throwing up as well so who knows! We are good now though!!

The Tang's alteration down Atlanta Hwy. mis-placed Keane's pants and said they never had them. They altered Breck's shirt and pants and Keane's shirt so I left Keane's pants there as well. When I went to pick them up they were very rude and jumped on their defenses automatically when I asked about the other pair of the pants. They said the pants are not on the receipt so they are not our responsibility. I told them I was not accusing anyone but this was my sons outfit for my sister in laws wedding and I would appreciate them looking. They would not look and kept saying not our responsibility, not on the receipt. So I went home looked around EVERYWHERE and the pants were nowhere to be found. I called Tang's again begging and pleading for them to look in the lobby or anywhere. The lady said if they were here they would have already turned up, but we will keep a lookout. I called my sister in law and told her what had happened, she was less than thrilled at the situation.. My mother in law calls about 5 minutes after I hung up with Karis to say that she had another outfit that may work for Keane. I immediately go over to try it on and it worked for him although it did not match Breck's. I kept hoping they would call before the wedding and say they had found them but they did not. They both still looked adorable and the outfits coordinated well so it was not a huge deal on the wedding day. Well, guess what?? 2 days after the wedding I get a call from Rhonda (my mother in law) to say Tangs called her and said they found Keane's pants. They apologized to her she said. Well, I thought that I should be the one to go pick up the pants to see if I would get an apology since they were so rude and pretty much had my in laws convinced I had lost the pants. (By the way thank you Momma for knowing that Tang's had those pants the whole time and believing me!) So, I walk in and she looks at me and says Can I help you? I said yes I am here to get the pants. Oh, yea. You left them here and we stuck them back here so they would not get lost. I just smiled took the back and started to walk out ( I prayed that I would not go off on the way to the store) when I was walking out after giving me the bag with the pants, she said you are here for the white pants right? I said yep and walked out. She did not offer any apology to me and was still clueless! I will never ever use that Tangs again and have to say that they gave the WORST customer service I can remember. I obviously would not recommend to a friend based on my experience! Oh and my bridesmaids dress was about 3 sizes too big up top.. I'm just sayin!

Anyway, I am glad that they at least called after finding them so my in laws know I did not loose the pants and my mother in law has her outfits back.

We are all weddin-ed out for the next little while! I'm getting to old to be a bridesmaid anyway and definitely to broke! lol

On a happier note, we watched Bounty Hunter and Book of Eli this week and both are great movies. The boys and I are going to make sock monkey's today and I may redo my header with them if they turn out and I can get creative. I also just picked up a baby book for Tyleigh Eden now that she is 5 1/2 months old! I'm looking for a Jenny Jump Up now. Got some cute frog princes to put on clippies to. I'm gonna try to get those made up and sell for a couple bucks a piece and of course save one for my princess. So be on the lookout for that! Also I have 2 Giveaways ending tonight at 12 and winner/winners will post first thing in the a.m. so get your comment in for a chance to win!

It Has Been a "Minute!"

I know I have fallen a bit behind on my updating this past week. I have been running around a lot and learning to make new things and just busy! I learned to the no sew tutus and pin wheel bows and also hair clippies! Yay! So I am going to try to do a giveaway on a set of clippies today if I can get them made and take a picture. As rainy as it looks this a.m. Id say there is a good chance I will get to it! Although it is only 5 am and I am up thanks to my little girl monkie! lol

I was thinking about changing my blog name. I know that sounds ridiculous since I just started it but if I can find a design and all that I may just go ahead and change it up. Since my traffic is pretty low at this point it wont be a biggie and I have a name I like better!

Kiddos are good! We had my husbands younger brothers over yesterday and we played on the slip n slide then a nice game of kick ball! We had a great time and Keane and Breck loved having company! Tyleigh is 5 months old today! It had really flown by. Makes me feel a little sad because she is my last baby. But I am grateful she is developing and growing etc. its just , Id like for them to completely depend on me a little longer!

Breck may be glad when she starts crawling around and get more Independence. Bless his bones he has really taken the backseat" gracefully. He loves his baby sister. To have gone from the baby to the middle child he has done really well and never shows jealousy which surprises me! And Keane, well as long as he has the Wii he is okay ha!

Well, I'm gonna wrap this up for now and get the house cleaned up so I can start on clippies and changing my blog and a new design! Be on the lookout for it all!!

Milestones

Aren't milestones bitter sweet!? I mean, we want our children to be on time, up to par, just like their peers but for me seeing mine get there can be hard. It seems like just yesterday Keane was a baby and I know for sure 3 weeks ago he was scared to death of the water! However yesterday he passed his swim test at the YMCA. He swam the full length of the pool and got to wear a green band! He was so proud! He favored that little wrist the whole time we were there!

Don't get me wrong I am super proud of him but it just does not seem like he should be swimming already!

I had to go register him for school to. He will be starting Kindergarten in about 2 months and that makes me feel a little sad. I cried pretty hard at his pre-school graduation! He is just growing up so quick. It makes me happy to have Breck and Tyleigh that still depend on me some! lol

I guess when they start school Ill just have to start a home daycare or small animal shelter!?

Starting Out is Hard!

I'm not sure what I expected, well actually I take that back.. I figured when I posted a giveaway on my blog traffic would just pour in! Unfortunately that has not been the case. I have spent most of my time entering other blog giveaways and I'm hoping I did it right! lol I think I left out my email address on some of them so I'm hoping I will get contacted if I win! I feel a little bad about spending so much time on here and not enough with the kids the past few days to. Do not get me wrong I'm gonna keep going at it and keep trying but sometime I can get to overly involved in things and obsess over them when I need to be putting time elsewhere as well. I did get my first product for blog review acceptance email today so I am looking forward to getting the book to read and review! Hopefully some other things will come up soon as well. Its fun and interesting to do the blogging thing so I'm gonna keep it up and see what is to come of it!!
