What a month! October ended with a bang, both good and bad. I know I already did an October blog, but a couple things happened since that I want to share.

Another month!
As far as my surgery went, recovery was hard at first, but got a lot easier and I couldn't be more happy that I had it done. The pain is still there, but it will heal with time. The best and most dangerous part is that now I can eat whatever I want. Which you don't appreciate until it's taken away from you. So I gotta be careful that I don't blow up like a ballon!
Mickey's Halloween party was a blast. I really enjoyed having Chloe there and am so happy we decided to go ahead and take her. She LOVED all the characters and the fireworks. She met Captain Jack Sparrow, who tried to take her wand ( which a nice lady in line gave her because she fell in love with her). She met Jessie from Toy Story and she got to touch her face. That was soo cute. Over all it was a fun and magical evening and I couldn't have asked for a better anniversary and first halloween (for Chloe).
Speaking of Halloween, that was a blast as well. My mom taught Bj and I how to make pizza for the first time. She coached from the sidelines and it actually turned out to be REALLY yummy.
Then we had an awesome evening of games, which in the end turned out to be one of the best game nights i've ever had.
So that about sums up October's events. On to November! Happy 7 Months Chloe Pea! She is one sneaky little girl. She knows how to crawl, but refuses too. She had everyone fooled that she didn't know how until I caught her in the act today. This little girl wants to walk and nothing else. The only way I can get her to crawl is to put her in a huge open space and set something far away that she absolutly can't live with out. Otherwise she tries to pull herself up on anything that's taller then her and will try her best to walk around it. It's quite entertaining to watch. Because of her determination, I believe that she will be walking pretty early. If she doesn't I will be shocked. She talks constantly and she moves constantly. She still isn't a big eater, loves her yogurt and applesauce though!
My mom had surgery on her foot that she broke. They had to put a plate in and two screws so she will be stuck on the couch for about 6 more weeks. Poor thing! I've been spending a lot of time over there trying to help her and my dad out with chores and shopping and all that good stuff.
I got a job at Sylvan. I started working there the first of November, It is nice to be back. I really missed working with the kids. Things are ran a little differently at this Sylvan, but it's a good thing and I don't mind the change. I'm getting about 11-14 hrs per week so it's just enough to start saving for a house and paying off all those nasty credit cards.Hopefully I will be there for a while, I would still like to sub, but I'm waiting for an opening around here. That might be a while!

I just have to rant and rave today. I'm so angry and so hurt by the way these parents treat their children it makes me sick.
First of all children are miracles and gifts from God, I believe it is HORRIBLE to ever wish you could give your child back or leave them in the dumpster. I will never believe people when they say "oh it's a joke" because they DO say it for a reason. Yes children can be frustrating, but to wish you could give them back?! People are out there struggling to get pregnant and paying thousands of dollars to have a small sliver of hope of being able to bear their own child and don't...If you have a child, you should feel honored and blessed regardless of how frustrating they can be. As a mother I would hate myself for even thinking of giving my sweet little girl away.
Parents must not think their children have feelings...or even feelings of embarrassment. Disiplining you child should be done ,yes, but when you cuss at them and spank them in public, that's just wrong. I heard a parent screaming F* you to their child outside of Rite Aid today. People have no patience with their children. It really upsets me to see an angry parent tell their child how worthless they are and again wish they were just given back and out of their lives. I could only imagine what these poor kids are feeling. Don't tell me they don't understand what you mean! Children are smart, they learn at a VERY young age.
Another thing that bothers me is when parents sit there don't disipline their child. They need to show the authority and do something about it, not just sit back and let it happen. Like today at work, a toddler was messing with a plant and one of the teachers asked the little girl to stop throwing the dirt out of the plant and onto the floor. THE MOTHER just sat there and continued to let her do it, even after someone already asked them nicely to stop. The mother told her a few times to stop, but never got up and took her away from it. On top of that, she left the dirt all over the floor for someone else to clean up. NO, toddlers may not understand the word no, or just not understand that they are doing something wrong to begin with, but that's why the parent needs to GET UP and show them that NO means stopping what you're doing and NOT going back to it. Not just letting them do it over and over again, while you continue to say no. You teach by example people, not by words. EVER heard of practice what you preach? Kids have every right to explore their surroundings, touch things, carry things ect..but it's the parents job to teach them how to do those things. Even if it takes months of tiresome repetition, children will only learn by example.
UGH I'm so irritated. I'm sorry if this offends anyone. Everyone is intitled to raise their children as they wish. It just breaks my heart to see how some parents choose to raise their children.
