Day 5: We went over to my mom and step dads house today for birthday celebration 1 of 3. It was very nice. She made teriyaki pork loin, fried potatoes, beans and apple crisp... the girls behaved and everyone got along! My step brother also brought his baby ball python. So cute!
this is my sister and Addy (my 3 year old) holding Junior.
By the end of the night I realized that I only like the "all about me" kind of attention when its my idea. I felt a bit uncomfortable that a whole dinner was cooked for me, my grandparents came over and people bought me gifts.. at 28. I have always enjoyed being in the spot light and have never shyed away from attention.. but for some reason since I had children I'm not a fan of it in large amounts.
Fast forward about an hour to a "discussion" my husband and I had and you would think that I am the most selfish person in the world. This is how I came to the conclusion I only like things to be "all about me" when it is my idea.
Basically he wanted to learn more about something and i argued "No because its a waste of your time... it wont work out... etc." instead of just letting him figure things out for himself. Although it kills me to admit it, I do not have all the answers and life is not all about me.
