Can I Vent ?

Somtimes ya just got to get it off your chest. So here I go. Ryan sure doesn't want to hear it.

1.I went 7 years with no traffic tickets and then BAM, 2 this year. I got one in March because I had left Kennedee for the first time for a week, while we went on a cruise.........so I was excited to pick her up and was drivin' fast. Then today. AAAgghhhhhh! Ryan has been pulled over 11 times in his life and just got his first ticket last month. I tried to bat my eyes and just get a warning, but apparently I don't have the same charm Ryan has. The cop ticketed me............so betweeen the 2 of us we have 3 tickets this year.

2. Why can't I just have one grocery store to go to. I shop at 5 stores to get groceries, that's right, FIVE. I love Trader Joe's and Fresh and Easy for dinner ideas. And then of course you have to do your Costco run for the big stuff like DIAPERS, and target has a few stuff I gotta have, and finally Vons for anything left like ice cream. And if you know us, we have at least 4 different flaves of ice cream in our house at all times. Too many stops

3. Kennedee hates to sit in the shopping cart, so when she starts screaming to get down, I give in and let her run wild knocking stuff off shelves and then I regret letting her down. Well the other day I was with my mom-in-law and she made Kennedee just cry it out and sure enough after 5 minutes she shut up and stayed in the cart. Easy, right! Well today I thought "I am going to be tough". So she started crying to get out of the cart and I just let her scream and let all the other customers just stare me down........thinking to myself "just 5 minutes and she'll stop". Yeah, right! Kennedee knows I am a softy. If she cries hard enough, mommy is sure to put her down. But I stuck with it and 20 minutes later, quiet. Of course it helps when you grab a box of goldfish off the shelf and let her start eating it before you pay for it......but hey, I was tough and didn't let her down. Mommy wins........finally!

Need to get something off your chest? You listened to me , now I will listen to you. Share and read others and hopefully we can just laugh it all off.

You are way too soft. I look like the wicked witch of the west compared to you.
PS> Sorry you had to live in my messy house while you were here. Next time it will be clean!
