Birthday Party Etiquette



So Sunday we had my daughters birthday party she invited about 10 kids of her choosing. Most of the children I knew in one way or another, so I didn't anticipate any surprises. Boy was I wrong!

The party started at 1pm and the ids started to arrive about 5 minutes of 1. The first child to arrive was a child whose parents I had met once before at their daughters birthday party. They said their hellos and stood around a bit till some other children showed up. The mother then came to me and said what time should I pick up Amy** (**not her real name) oh 3:30 should be good I said. All the while thinking she was going to pick up her husband and her daughter. Oh no! She and her husband left! Now I am not sure about all you moms out there but I am not sure that a pool party is the best party to leave your child unattended at, maybe it's just me.

So the kids proceed to the locker room where young Amy announces she doesn't have a towel (only a cover up) and doesn't know how to swim. Ok now the thoughts in my mind are racing. These parents left their child with me whom they have only met once in passing AND their child doesn't swim??? WTF

Other parents were appalled and I must say I was too. Thankfully the pool we chose had a decent shallow end where the kids played with the dumping buckets and water geysers. But if these kids which most all knew how to swim were to have moved to deeper water that could have spelled trouble. Mind you this is a public pool with lifeguards and many many other kids.

The parents came at 3:30 to pick up their child, the child took off from the party room were in once she saw her parents and my husband rushed after her to make sure she was Ok and that her parents were truly there. He said he casually said that he was unaware that Amy couldn't swim and that they were leaving her unattended at the party. He said they both gave him this blank stare as if to say of course we would leave her.

Needless to say I have made a mental note and I will not allow Lauren to ever be unattended with them. What are your thoughts were the parents out of line or am I totally over reacting?

Happy Birthday Lauren !

My sweet Lauren turn 7 today, we celebrated by having a pool (indoor) party for her and her friends yesterday and she had a blast, today she is celebrating with her entire class during lunch with the cupcakes I dropped off before heading to work. I am amazed each and everyday how she is growing before my eyes!

The rule of this tag is that you go into my pictures, take the 6th folder and 6th picture in the folder, post it, and tell what it is.
I scanned this picture for a slide show for my sister's high school graduation.
Me and my little sister (I'm about 3 and she's 2) sitting on the stairs after my aunt (who was living with us at the time) did our hair very pretty :) Back then we looked like twins! Can you tell which is me and which is my sister?

We're Moving!

Don't get to excited, we haven't found a house yet. I'd tell you the whole story about why we're moving, but my lovely husband likes to make fun of me for telling LONG stories.

So, to say it simply, we got the boot from our landlord before we found a house so we're moving in with my parents until we find a house to buy.

If you need our new address, send me an email: hayleylynnpeterson@gmail.com
I'd post it, but... that's personal info on the internet I don't want posted :)

Our cell numbers are staying the same.

Any questions, comments, concerns (I have plenty of my own), or suggestions on how NOT to go crazy moving in with the parents once again, don't hesitate to let me know! :)

New Discovery :)

So, had a few seconds online, and discovered this fun little blog. Once again, don't know how I quite got to it, but I'm so glad I did! Way cute decor designs, keeping it cheap and recycling A LOT (totally my style! Bed made of door frames, computer desk from old kitchen cabinet, herb garden in old vases, I'm already there!). Check it out. Just click the link on the side of my blog, The Lettering Cottage. I'm totally refinishing my cabinets like she did hers when we find a house, except not black, that's too dark for me.

17 weeks ....Baby Number 3

The bun in my oven is cooking just as it should, however it seems I put a little too much yeast in my recipe since I gained a whopping 5lbs this month! I need to remove that feed bag from around my neck and get back on that tread mill or I will have gained 50Lbs by the end!

I was able to hear the heart beat and that always brings a huge smile to my face. So since another month has passed I will post a belly shot of me at 17 weeks.

Yup I know it is starting to really pop out there! Just think what I will look like come August!

Sunday night...... getting ready for the week

The weekend flew by as it usually does, I was able to get a lot done and find some time for me which is unusual.

My college basketball brackets are kicking butt, I am number 2 in my pool of 100 people! Not bad for a chick huh? I so do love this time of year!!!!

My google reader looks like it is about to explode (724 unread blog posts), I plan to do some much needed reading tomorrow once I get back from my OBGYN/baby check up. I am sure things are fine but I always worry. Last week was a rough week for me and my blood pressure was a little elevated so I am hoping for a lower reading tomorrow.

So I am still here and I promise to visit all my bloggy friends tomorrow!

MWAH!!!!

type of people

hampir suku abad saya hidup.
alhamdulillah.
tuhan masih bagi saya nafas.
setiap hari saya jumpa dengan bermacam2 ragam manusia.
bukan semua manusia tu sama?
betul kata perpatah,

"rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain"

Living the Crazy Life!

At the moment, this is how I feel. Every other sentence consists of a sigh, trying to calm down, not get overwhelmed, relax even for a fraction of a breath (plus I really LOVE this picture. I'm going to try and take one like it for my Etsy page.). With work, church callings (yes, I still have TWO BIG ONES!), trying to finish dresses that have been bought, helping my sister sew a dress before she leaves, hanging out with my bro who came to visit, trying to get an Etsy shop up, searching for a house, and the dreadful thought that we have two weeks to pack up our house and move in with my PARENTS, while having no time to spend with my husband is slowly (well maybe not that slowly) making me crazy.

I don't want to go to work! I don't want to make dinner! I don't want to shave my legs! I don't want to wear anything but my pajamas!

Can I please have a break? Can't I just sit on the beach and feel the sand in my toes and sun on my face? I REALLY want to go on a cruise, but do I spend the money on that or save more money towards a down-payment? I don't know! These feelings of doubt, doom, and darkness are really eating at me. So here I go to the temple!!! (without my husband, cause he's still doing a side job)

Struggling a bit......

As I have written before I have good days and bad days as far as this pregnancy goes today has been a bad one. Actually the last couple of days have been bad ones emotional not physically. Several woman who write some of the blogs I read are pregnant one lost her baby on Monday and another had a pretty scary 24 hours after a Dr. sent her for tests, thankfully all seems to be going well for her now. Last night a friend who I used to be very close to lost her baby at almost 19 weeks.

I am struggling today because she and I have not been close for quite some time for many reasons some selfish, some not. She recently reached out to me via one of the many social networking sites out there to say hi and say she was happy to see that I was doing well. We exchanged some emails back and forth and she shared with me that she was pregnant with her first, and I shared with her I also was pregnant. She was very excited to start a family and seemed genuinely excited and happy for me as well. She was due 3 weeks before me. We had not exchanged emails since as I don't think either of us was ready or in some respects willing to rekindle the friendship that once was. We were jsut contenet in touching base.

Last night she emailed me the news that she and her husband had lost the baby and my heart broke. I know the heartache of miscarriage but I can't begin to understand the heartache of losing a child this far along in a pregnancy.

I responded the only way I knew how by saying how sorry I was for her loss but I can't help but feel I should do more. As I said I used to be very close to this person and as time went on we grew apart. I just hate to see people in pain and the pain of losing a child seems far to great. I pray that her family and close friends embrace her and I will try my best to do what I can from afar.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

It's St. Patrick's Day and I for one am Irish! My maiden name was O'Toole, it was great when I was younger and I wanted to get into bars on St. Patrick's day! These day's though it is about the kids and the kids have a blast talking about leprechauns and pots of gold at the end of the rainbow.
This morning we kept our tradition going with green milk and green pancakes as well as our silly mom and kids family photos, Lauren wanted to make sure the baby got in on the action so she insisted on taking a picture of my belly ! Check us out.

March Madness is here!!


I love this time of year, I played basketball in high school and I have been an avid college basketball fan as long as I can remember. So I am hosting an office pool and I am participating in a couple others just to keep things interesting. I know, I am a nut and you really are never sure what to expect from me are you? So forgive me if I am MIA later this week, I will be tuned to the Internet and the TV trying to get my fix in.
If you are looking to participate in a pool let me know and I will send you the link, it is only $5 to enter.

:::HUJUNG MINGGU YANG TAK BERAPA MEMBOSANKAN:::

nothing special today.... bgn tido celik mata je dh kena get ready mandikan bdk2!! tu je rutin aku everyday,non-stop asyik mengadap anak2 aku yg semakin membesar tu dan semakin nakal tahap pening kepala..hehehehh!!! tak merungut cuma kadang2 tu kena banyak bersabar dgn perangai anak2 aku tu. so today just bwk ashraf and sofia pegi jln2 beli kuih cakoi(ala yg macm tepung donut tu) and air tebu,kononnye nk bwk bdk2 pegi amik angin kt park kelana jaya(bekas lombong lerr) last sekali ari ujan la pulak!! jadi kami pun balik la umah dok diam2 je. 

YES,dah beberapa hari kalau petang je UJAN turun,asal petang je ujan! semalam pun pegi wedding member hubby pun tak dapat nk turun dri keta sbb ujan lebat so passing hadiah je lerrr. ingatkn kalau dh petang ujan,malam kira boleh gak la pegi jalan2 kt uptown Danau Kota,Setapak tp hujan lagi daaa makin tak henti2 pulak. mmg rosak planning aku nk pegi jalan2 ngan family aku.

Excited for VERSUS

After watching a couple of the pre season offerings that have already been on VERSUS in the last couple weeks, I can tell you that I'm starting to get excited to watch the season on the new network. Admittedly, I wasn't so sure when the announcement came, but VERSUS has committed to offering tons of coverage - something we didn't exactly get from the other networks. They will air... "...more than 130 hours of IndyCar Series coverage throughout the season with a minimum of seven hours each week the network airs a race, the most ever during a race week. The programming will include four hour-long specials in March, additional programming in May surrounding the Indianapolis 500 and three-hour programming blocks on Mondays each race week that will feature flag-to-flag coverage of Firestone Indy Lights events and encores of IndyCar Series races. All IndyCar Series telecasts will be produced and available in HD." I'm especially excited about the Indy Lights coverage. I became hooked on the series a couple years ago after attending Carb Day and watching the race in person. It's really great racing with some amazing young drivers. One of the ways the series can continue its growth is by developing the Indy Lights series into something people look forward to watching in addition to the main series. NASCAR has obviously done a great job of this and its ability to transition drivers from their feeder series and instantly make them stars in the cup series (Joey Logano,Brad Keslowski, others) is one of its strongest assets as far as keeping and growing fan affinity with its drivers.

siapa saya dalam hidup anda semua?
saya boleh jadi kawan.saya boleh jadi lawan.tapi saya memilih untuk jadi kawan anda.
saya dinding untuk anda bersandar.mengadu nasib.mengadu sedih.mengadu gembira.
saya ada lebih bahu seandainya anda mahu menumpang tangis.
tapi saya bukan penyeri.
saya bukan seorang yang tidak boleh menjadi serius.

jika anda rasakan saya bukan seorang pendengar yang baik.yang bagus.jangan adukan apa2 kepada saya.
anda dah kerugian masa anda.dan anda membuang masa saya.
jika anda dah berjumpa dengan mereka yang dapat memberikan 'feedback' yang baik, buat apa terhegeh2 untuk dapat-kan nasihat daripada saya?
banyak masa saya terbuang gara2 anda.
dan akhirnya anda cuma meletakkan level saya sebagai 'badut'?
ye saya memang 'badut'.
tapi 'badut' ni la yang tak pernah jemu memasang telinga mendengar kata2, cerita2, kisah2 bodoh dari anda.
'badut' ini la, yang anda cari bila tiada tempat mengadu.
sayang nya, anda terlalu cepat lupa diri.
kerana anda memikirkan bahawa 'kuasa' ada dalam tangan anda.

saya tak perlukan anda dalam hidup saya.
anda bukan siapa2 dalam hidup saya.
tanpa anda saya lebih tenang.
saya ada kawan2.saya ada persahabatan yang lebih hebat berbanding anda.
kerana saya tahu, kawan2 saya lebih menghargai saya lebih dari yang anda mampu.
saya minta maaf.

anda 'loser'.
