I'm locked out..... NOT UP

I got this graphic over @ agirlnextdoorcreation...Ty it's beautiful!!

I had soo much fun babysitting! We played so much! I wish that I could have a baby and it would just come out and be 1 yrs old already. LOL Yea right only in my dreams huh?.... They are so cute at that age.

I got locked out of the house today...without diapers a bottle, NADA. I went upstairs to visit my neighbor and I always leave my door open because you know we live in a small 4 family house and no one can enter unless they have a key and I trust everyone who lives in the building. Anyway so I did this today. My mistake was when I asked the little girl upstairs(shes about 10 yrs old) to go in my apt and get me the baby wipes...Ok she went and got them but on the way out she shut my door. When I came down a lil later on to feed the baby I discovered that lo and behold I'm LOCKED OUT!! OHHH GOD what do I do now?? First thing I do is call Ben at work but I already know there is no chance in hell that he is going to leave work early.... NOT he told me wait till his mothers boyfriend came home because they have a key....I CAN NOT WAIT TILL HE GETS HOME because he gets home about 6:30 and its only 2:00!!!! I have to get in way before that because all of the babies stuff is in there and her mother is on her way up to pick her up not only that I have to pick up the kids at 5:45... So whats the next alternative.....Luckily my neighbor who lives in the basement apt was home. She let me me go through the door (that was covered by boxes and totes of stuff and was taped shut!) that led to the courtyard. From there I had to jump and climb through my kitchen window(How I managed to do it I have no idea) But you can just imagine how an over 150 pd woman looked jumping through a window LOL ....... I made it though and I finally got into my apartment.. Lesson learned alwayys always take my keys with me!!

I get a phone call from my landlady today. She went on to tell me how upset she was that I was doing business with Rent A Center...How they were raping me and Ben...How could we fall for that trap...How we should have consulted her before we made such a stupid decision....How we should have asked advice from a person whowas more business experienced LMAO...ANd ALSO HOW SHE WAS WILLING TO LEND ME UP TO 500.00 dollars to buy my boys a bedroom set.....Is she for real???? I greatly appreciate the generous offer but there is no way in hell that I am going to put myself in that predicament. I may have been stupid for getting into this rent a center mess But I AM NOT A DONKEY'S ASS LOL.... I kindly explained to her that though I am most grateful for her offer I can not accept it. I let her know that we want to keep our relationship with her on a professionla basis and that this would over step those boundaries. She went on to tell me that she didnt mind at all and how instead of paying rent a center 320.00 a mth that I would just pay her 100.00 a mth till I payed off the 500.00...No Thank you..its bad enough I owe her each mth 1325.00 for rent , I dont want to owe her more. Bottom line is I dont want to give allllll my money to her! I told her its not a big deal because as soon as our Income Tax come in we are going to buy the kids their bed sets with cash and return rent a center their merchandise. I'd rather do that. When it comes to landlords I got myself a beauty huh?? She has good intentions but I am not opening up Pandora's box.

My kiddies are doing good..all excited about X-mas. They have been misbehaving at home somewhat so if they keep that up they are not going to be having a very good X-mas.  Yesterday I went to the supermarket with my upstairs neighbor. While walking through the baking aisle, my neighbor asked me if she should bake a cake for her daughter. I said Sure why not. So she picked out a mix and I asked her if she wanted any frosting...She answered no that she doesnt really put frosting on her cakes as she doesnt like it too much.... Well my daughter opens up her mouth and exclaims MOMMY whats wrong with her...Whats a cake without frosting EWWW....then she says anyway you know what Mommy I guess thats her way right... She's not like us...She has her own ways right.... I got very upset at my daughter I thought this was very disrespectful for her to say outloud in front of the lady.. I told her so..... Thinking about it now its kind of funny..the  things children come up with. My daughter is so outspoken and is not afraid to speak whats on her mind. She gets this from her father. In a way I like it because if something is bothering her she wouldnt be afraid to voice her opinions but then again I think she needs to learn what is appropiate to say without hurting anyones feelings. I dont want her to be like me .... I cant even say no to someone and I never dare speak my mind when I am upset. I see my boys are almost like me and I am trying to get them to voice their opinions more and let someone know when something just isnt right. I dont want them to let people walk all over them. People have walked all over me becuase I was afraid I would hurt their feelings but telling them the truth....Uh uh I dont want this for my kids...I dont think my daughter has that problem LOL...... The other day I sent her upstairs to return a bowl to my neighbor(same lady) who at the time was doing some spring cleaning. My daughter walks in and says Ms..S WOW your house is really a mess!!! You need to clean it up. The thing is she came downstairs and told me what she said....  I once again let her know in my angry voice that that was not nice and she had no right walking into someones else's home and saying that let alone talking like that to an adult. I let her know that if she were ever to talk like that again I would pop her in her mouth!

I'm watching SuperNanny right now.... about a woman who has 3 children who are out of control. The woman yells and spanks to discipline her children... almost sounds like me... difference is my children are not to the extreme her children are. They pretty much know how far they can take me. It should be interesting to see how this plays out and what advice Super Nanny has that can help me.....

Well I'm off to finish watching this show.....verrry interesting..

Goodnight alll and Take care....
