vent session lol

I love my calling in the Young Women...as if I haven't mentioned that already. lol I love that I get to plan out activities for the girls and be able to get to know them better! We had mutual today and we decided to catch up on their personal progress. The theme for the night was IHOP "important hour of progress." while working on their personal progress, they had pancakes and OJ, just like being at ihop. Most of them didn't bring their books so we decided to let the girls make their own pancakes and serve it to each other so they can pass off on one of their projects. The leaders this year are awesome! We've come up with some great ideas for the next 3 months and I'm sure the girls will love them.

ok...venting time! lol It's kind of hard to write about something that you hope won't hurt someone's feelings or offend anyone. I just hate being misunderstood period! I've been told that I'm TOO nice, that I can never say no to anyone. Makes it look like its bad or something. but thats just me. I think I get if from my Dad because he is the same way. I know when to say "no" to someone lol I dont think it's just being misunderstood, there's a lot more too it. For example...Volleyball. I play because I enjoy it...because it's my time away for myself to have fun rather than being at home with the kids. I love being with my boys without a doubt, but we all need some ME time to ourselves and I like to play sports. But I get mistaken for being a bad mother for leaving my kids....I would understand if I played 4x a week, but at the most its 2. Am I wrong for thinking this way? 

There's so much more that I don't want to put on here but I'm starting to regret moving here to Washington. Ok, I know it's out of anger that I just said that but I miss my family! I miss my friends and most importantly I miss my parents. I miss their guidance & advice that they gave Lance and I, the way they would always bring our family together and we would just laugh and enjoy each other's company. I miss get-to-together's with my extended family and my nieces and nephews:(

I hope I didn't confuse any of you with my little vent session. lol I didn't go into too much detail with that haha

But good news is...my parents come back from Samoa the end of this month and are planning to drive up here to pick the kids up for 2 weeks. They want to spend as much time with them before they move to Samoa. I really hope they don't though (that calls for another blog post lol). but anyway, 2 weeks is a bit too long, so maybe I'll take a little vaca with them! haha we'll see!
