Lifes Like That

If anyone of you guys has some small children at home, then I’m desperately seeking your advice.  I have two small children at home that just don’t  listen.  I have tried everything and nothing seems to work.  It’s almost like they don’t hear me.  I know they do, but they seriously act like they don’t.  All summer I’ve been going through this, but today I would have to say has been the very worst day possible.  They don’t really talk back to me when I tell them something, they just ignore what I say.  And I’m getting so fed up and frustrated with this.

So, please tell me your secrets and let me know what works for you and your kids and what doesn’t.

My youngest is hooked on animals of any kind. We only have a cat right now, but we are thinking about getting him a dog. He watches all kinds of shows on TV that has animals on it, but two of his favorite animals is horses and livestock. He loves to sit back and watch horse racing and any time he sees a rodeo event on TV, his eyes are glued to the TV. If it was ever possible, I would love to be able to take him to the rodeo. He gets so excited when he watches the Houston Rodeo on TV that I just know that he would get a huge kick out of seeing this event in person. Hopefully when he gets a bit older, this will be a trip that we will be able to take him on.

The Houston rodeo concerts and events take place every year in early March, so this March we probably wouldn’t be able to take him, but by next March we may have the money to purchase some Houston Rodeo concert tickets. I like the fact that on their site, they list all the scheduled events in a day to day format so you can pick and choose whatever event you would like to be a part of without having to spend out money for the entire process. You can also purchase your tickets directly on site, and they even accept paypal as a form of payment. So, if your a country or rodeo fan, then this rodeo in Houston is definitely a place you will want to attend to experience all there is to experience at an authentic horse and rodeo show.

I really enjoy making crafts and home made items for all my family and friends, but I really need to get organized better.  Right now I have a quilt on the go, three scrapbooks and have started knitting an afghan.  I know I should probably do and complete one project before I start another, but I get thinking about something that I would like to do and then I start on something new.  I will eventually finish all my projects, but if I was better organized, I could probably finish them all a little quicker.  I’m thinking that I will devote a different night to each project and then maybe I will be able to get everything done that I’ve started.

How do you all stay focused and organized?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but lately I have been hearing more and more about friends and family members who have gotten into an addiction problem of some kind. This makes me so sad. Although I don’t and have never had an addiction of any kind, I know how devastating this can be to the individual and to their family members. Getting help for an addiction would be the most important step into breaking this problem and leading a long, healthy and productive lifestyle. Without this help the individual can remain in a lifestyle that will cause them serious problems in their future. This is why it is so important for individuals to seek help from addiction centers like Rehab Malibu.

Over at Rehab Malibu, the individual will get all the treatment and counseling they need to help them determine why they became dependent in the first place and will also help them to get clean and stay clean. They have a lot of highly trained and qualified staff to help individuals on their road to recovery. It is possible to overcome any type of addiction, but it is extremely difficult to try to do it on their own. But through treatment centers such as this one, it is extremely likely that any addict will get all the help they need to get themselves on the right track. So, if you know of any individual who is going through any type of addiction problem, then I highly suggest that you direct them over to this site to see how Rehab Malibu can give them a lending hand.

I seems like most of my friends are up and moving.  One of my good friends moved earlier this summer and now I’ve found out that another one will be leaving as well.  So her sisters have arranged a surprise going away party for her for this evening.  This may be the very last time that we all can get together as she is moving quite far away, so my husband and I have made arrangements to attend this party this evening.  I think it will be a fun time, as all her family are really nice and quite humorous, but it’s going to be sad as well.  Still though, I wouldn’t miss this night for anything as it will probably be the last time I see her.  We will still be able to keep in contact through e-mails and such, but it’s still not the same thing.
