Stay at home

Ok this is my first week back as a stay at home mom and I must say I forgot how much I loved being at home. I have been able to catch up on all my laundry and start my Christmas shopping. I love just being able to pick up my boys from school and drop them off at school in the morning. I love being able to sit at home with my hubby as he's working. I feel like I haven't seen any of them or at least spent the time with them that I needed to. It seems that all I ever did was work. I gave up soo much of my time with my family all for a job. I know I will never do that again.

A Blessing In Disguise

On Thurs my boss came to me and said that he needed to talk to me in my office. I figured he was wanting to know the details about a tenant who was canceling their service with us. But was I ever wrong.... he fired me!!! Or as my mom said they just let me go. I figured I was the back bone to the tenants and the business. But I guess I was wrong. He told me that they would pay me for the rest of the week and pay me the 5 vacation days that he gave me in my review the week before. So I packed up my desk and bolted ou tof there with tears flowing down my face. The thing that gets me is that he told me at my 3 year review in April I would be receiving a raise. HAHAHAHA well I came home spent the past few days crying and the whole woe is me. BUt Sean and I have both talked about it and we have been praying about a way that I can spend more time at home and look at what has happened. So it looks like now I am going to be a stay at home mom again. Oh the clincher to the story is.. I had over 100 vacation hours saved up. So I sent my boss an email telling him that I want those hours paid on my last paycheck. Hahahahaha so who got the last laugh!!!

Closed Minds

Well here's how the story goes, there's a guy in one of my buildings. He claims that he's fallen away from the church but he still wears his garments. So we got to talking today about the prop 8 and he asked me if I voted for it. I said no I voted against it. I said I come from a family where I have plenty of gay relatives and I think that they deserve to have the same family rights as we do. Well he went on to tell me that my opinion is wrong with the church and I"m going against the church. I said I believe that we are given choice and accountability for a reason. I know they may not choose to be gay, but there is still accountability that they will have to face. I said my mom raised me to be open minded and not to worry about what will happen to others when they face god. I know I only worry about myself and my family.
He then went on to tell me how they didn't have a "vision" to allow the blacks into the church. He was telling me that the government was hounding the church and saying they would take away tax credits from BYU if we didn't allow the blacks in. I told him that we don't know what really came about. WE weren't in with the first presidency when they were praying about it.
Needless to say he's always trying to get me to read anti-mormon literature. I told him I would read it the day he quit being a hypocrite and quit wearing his garments. I told him that I've had a pretty shitty life and as he said "why would god make someone gay if it's against his will" and my reply was " I've had a pretty crappy life. I could have many times said God why did you give me sooo many burdens and hardships. But I didn't I grew from them and I learned and my faith is increased ten fold" With that he shut up and walked away. As for me I think he's a tool!!

Tanner..

Tanners new thing is SPIKER color!! He loves it. We can add fun color to his "new hawk" That's what he calls his faux hawk. H changes colors everyday.. he has the choices between Red,blue,green. He loves that kids at school really dig the colors. I see it as a way that he is expressing himself. (he's wearing the red in this one)
