Interesting

As you get older in life you realize life has taught me lessons along the way.  Some you learn from, some you don't, some apparently life feels you didn't really learn the lesson and need to learn it again.

There is a reason I am the way I am.  Years of being laughed at and made fun of.  Years of putting my neck out there, turn the other cheek kinda thing. My boss said to me "Oh Tenille you are such a private person, I hardly know anything about you."


I've learned over the years the only person you can count on is yourself and more times then not your husband.  My husband and I are helpful people, someone asks us for help or invites us places; if we can help or go we go.  If we can't we let the people know.
There has been times when we've asked for help, and get nothing, or they say yes and then don't show up at all; or don't respond.  There has been times where I've planned parties and everyone says oh yes I'll be there and nothing. When I'm invited somewheres, more often then not I go whether I want to or not.  I was invited, I want to go to spend time with the person who invited me.


Now I know you're thinking awe poor Tenille, she's feeling sorry for herself.  Well you're damn right I am.  Maybe my expectations are too high??  Maybe I should change my helpfulness??  I don't know? 
Apparently I haven't learned this lesson, or maybe life is trying to push me??  Cause I keep doing it expecting different results.  What is the definition of insanity?  Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.  Yeah that's me in a nut shell.

I Love Pinterest

 So I'm always trying to come up with crafts for the kids to do.  Payton LOVES crafts.  She's *bored* if she doesn't have a craft to do.  So  of course I went to pinterest to see what's there.  We made the water balloons with food coloring.  All the kids loved it and were so excited to take the balloons off and see what they looked like.  Our first attempt was with regular balloons.  Then a couple of days later I bought the funny balloons the ones with all different shapes and sizes.  We ended up with some that had ears.  Here is the link from Pinterest.

This one is too funny

 These next two are of the first ones we did.  We basically didn't add enough food coloring and we didn't shake the balloons so it mixed with the water.  But still a neat effect.

It all depends on how much you want them to be colored and mixed.  But it was so much fun.  More Pinterest creations to come, later.
