Busy Boring Week

This past week, not too much happened. Broc is slowly entering the terrible twos. He is either the sweetest boy or a grump who needs a nap. I have been busy, busy with work as usual. It's going to get crazy in the next couple of weeks as we get ready for Easter. This season is the busiest season in the Payless world. Why you may ask? Every little kid needs to accessorize with cute shoes for their Easter Outfits. I am one of those people. Good thing I get a discount on shoes. My sister in law Nicole was making fun of me last night as I was buying Broc 3 more pairs of sandals to go with his closet full of shoes. Granted he is only almost 2 but he does need to match from all angles. It's a girl thing and according to Payless I am what is known as an Expressive Mom. He does have a great shoe collection.

Anyway my frustrations this week are that people are grumpy to us (the retailers) for no reason but then expect us to bow down to them. It drives me crazy. And then the fact that so many people these days steal. I had a couple of teenagers in my store Friday night who stole while I was right there. And don't even get me started on Saturday. One of my employees told me I was ugly and I took it as on the the inside because I was just a grump that day. Don't steal!! I had a customer once tell me that even if we don't see them do something, Jesus does. I just hope they can sleep at night. And I understand that people have bad days but treat us with respect when we are just trying to do our job. You will regret being a meanie when you need our help.

Saturday night we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with Cassi and Chadd. I love, love their food. Broc loves hanging out with our friends and when we have gotten together usually likes playing with M but that night he wasn't having any of it. (it has just been a week with him.) Thanks guys for getting us a spot in line. It was a long wait but it was fun waiting with you guys. Once Easter is over and done with, I may have some exciting things to talk about. Until then thanks for letting me vent. Have a great week everyone!!

Spring/Grandma's Birthday/Broc

I am so stoked that it is finally becoming Spring time. Justin makes fun of me and tells me that I will never be happy with any season but spring truly is my favorite season. Broc and I have been getting some much needed Vitamin D and have been playing outside every chance we get. We spent the day in Ogden last week at my parents house and went a played at the park with Broc's favorite uncle Colton. It was good times. Colton lived with us last semester and Broc just adores him so any time we get to play he is excited. Thanks Colt for hanging out with us for the afternoon.










Today was also Justin's mom's birthday. We took her to lunch at Olive Garden which to her is like going to Walmart for me. It's competition. (she works for Ottavio's Italian Restaurant but hey she chose Olive Garde.) I wasn't thinking at the time when I set the time but we went during naptime so we were at the point of meltdown so we don't have any pictures but Happy Birthday Grandma!! We love you!!

And last but not least, Broc is at the age where he is really fun or really grumpy. He is hitting the terrible twos early. Boy am I in for a wild ride. He is just a ham so I thought that I would share.

Some Randomness

So I decided to try and figure out this blog thing. Everyone I know has really cute blogs. I am just a little slow to jump on the bandwagon. (And kind of a blog retard). Most everyone by now hopefully knows my little boy Broc. He is such a handful but we love him. Well ever since he was born, he has had the nickname Benny Winkler from his Uncle Craig because yes my child apparently looks like a cabbage patch doll. If you have seen the old Geico commercial you will know what we are talking about. So here is a comparison for you all. I will get better things eventually but though I would start with this for now.
