Roller Towne

I'm starting to see a patern in the job market. One in particular that gripes me. Roller Towne in Visalia CA has been taking applications saying that they are hiring. Teenagers are getting call to come in for interviews. They go through two interviews and end up working a few one hour shifts as part of the hiring process then getting no further than that. I know of three people that they have done this too so far. It seems to me that Roller Towne is just trying to get free labor. I personally do not feel that they should be allowed to do this. Not only is it getting people hopes up but their taking their time and gas to do this. I feel its a scam.

2 year old trials

Having a 2 year old can get pretty stressful, trying and just plain hair ripping. It deffinately test your paitents and faith. Yesterday my Buggie was watching cartoons in her cousins room while we were all watching football. She was alone for 5 minutes before we went to check on her. Somehow in the 5 minutes she got a hold of pink nail polish that her cousin didn't even know where it came from, and proceeded to paint her toe nails. Miraculously she avoided getting the nail polish anywhere but her one toe. THANK YOU LORD! She didn't even do that bad of a job either. Before she got a hold of the nail polish she had gotten her hands on a jaw breaker that was like brand new and managed to eat enough to leave a large flat spot on top and a million little teeth marks all over it. I was on edge all day after that just waiting to see what disasterous thing she would do next. I got lucky and she was well behaved after those two incidents. Today she gets a hold of my mascara I had in my purse and snuck it to her room. A few minutes later we hear her crying. I ran into her room to find her legs, arms and half her face covered in mascara. Not to mention her cloathes and bedding. I took 20 minutes of scrubbing in the shower of scrubbing to get it all off. Then after dinner she gets into her closet and proceeds to try on all her cloathes. There wasnt a item of cloathing left on the lower rack. That was only the last two days worth of events. It's hard to stay calm and just try to reason with a 2 year old to get them to understand what they did wrong and that the shouldnt do that again. Not impossible, just trying. The good thing is that I can take a few deep breaths and remind myself that the trrible two's dont last forever.

You know you're a mom when....

1) When your daughter wakes up in the morning and runs to use the potty.
We're on our third bout if potty training. Obviosly the other two weren't sucsessful :( She would do really good for a few days then just start refusing to use the potty and demanded diapers. Time around its been between 8-10 days and going good. She still has accidents but less now than before. She still can't figure out when she has to go #2 so ends up going in her undies. Something I despise having to clean up!

2) When having to buy less diapers makes you jump for joy.
Yes I mean literally! A box of diapers that normally last only 2 weeks had last 3 weeks now and we still have over half our diapers left! That alone makes me really happy because we're saving the money. Face it diapers are expensive, and not exacly eco-friendly, and deffinatly no one friendly when they have a suprise in them! So I am more than happy to be able to say "bye bye" to diapers. They day we can officially say goodbye Im going to go celebrate.

3) When your child puts their own shoes on without any help.
Its a big step for kids and takes alot of concentration and effort on their part. We keep our shoes on a shelf next to the door and Buggie goes and plays with them putting different shoes on. She started out wearing DH's shoes then moved on to mine and finnaly graduated to her own shoes. The day she put them on, didn't matter if they were on the right foot or not, was a joyful day. Means I don't have to fight with her to wear shoes anymore. She happy enough to wear them now that she can do it by herself.

4) When your child can dress themselves.
Buggie comes out of her room all dressed up in her play dress cloathes all the time now. Its pretty awesome that she can dress herself. Ofcourse now that she can dress herself she want to pick out her own cloathes. Everytime we go to get dressed I have to give her options now. If you choose something she doesn't like she refuses to wear it and picks out a different outfit.

5) Your proud of your kid for the darndest things.
Buggie can count 1-3 in chinease and do a few sign language signs....and sing a song in sign language. I bought her a build-a-bear workshop game two days ago and she as stuff unlocked within the game that I cant figure out. Shes mastered the video and shes only 2! Yes, I know what your thinking, 'a 2 year old with a DS'. It's actually my DH's DS but he lets her play with it because he doesnt. We didn't just set out to buy her one. We do however buy her games for it. She has a childrens story book game, the build a bear game, a mickey mouse game and farm game. All of which I have played before I let her so that I can monitor the content. We dont have a portable DVD player for her when we go somewhere, we have the DS instead.

So yes, I am a mom. To a very stubborn and opinionated 2 year old. Personally I think she gets it from her dad. At her age I was quiet and shy. I hated attention. Buggie loves the attention, even does things to get attention. Shes loud and outgoing. She only plays shy when she doesnt fell good. I think its a good thing because it will be easier for her to make friends, which we've already proven. She met a little girl at a little resteraunt in three rivers and cried when the little girl had to leave. Buggie had said she was her friend. I think being a mom is a blessing and its hard. Maybe thats why we get excited and proud of our children for the smallest things. It makes us feel like we've accomplished something that all our hardwork wasnt for nothing. So keep on bragging about the little things your kids do. So what if people look at you weird. It probably means they dont have kids of their own.

Figaro's Mexican Grill

I tried out a new restraunt today. It's Figaro's in Visalia by the North side Target. I ate the Fiesta Nachos. I was suprised to see how much food I recieved. The plate was overflowing with chips, beans, salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, onions and jalenenos. They were the best nachos i've had in a long time. The service was fast and we didn't have to wait long for our food even though the place was busy and crowded. The outside patio was nice. It had good furnature and pleanty of shade. The inside was sparce on the decor and every little noise echoed. I enjoyed my meal and would reccomend you to try it atleast once.
