Parties are No Fun When You have to Play Mommy Alone

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve and Day.

Mine wasn't so good. We invited the in-laws down to enjoy the night with us. I cleaned the house and made sure we had food for everyone to eat. Everyone got here and we hung outside for a while. Skylee got to enjoy the outside because it wasn't so cold out. Then everyone wanted to light up and it was getting chilly around 8pm, so I took Skylee in. Long story short, me and Skylee stayed inside well everyone else stayed outside.
Being that she could hear everyone laughing and talking she didn't want to go to bed. So being the good mommy I was trying to be. I stayed in and we watched tv. Everyone else got to be outside and drink and have a good time. I'm not saying I didn't like spending time with my little one. It just wasn't too fair.
I wanted to drink, play cards, and laugh. But I got to watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 and try to get a one year old to go to bed while she could hear people having fun, not easy.
I got so mad that I was left alone. I was steaming. By the time I did get Skylee to bed, I was so mad I was in tears. I don't understand why people couldn't be understanding and adapt to having a baby around. It's our house, they knew the baby is here, why not act like it?
Well midnight rolled around and I was in bed mad, while Scotty and his parents were in the living room talking. I didn't get a kiss at midnight, I cried just about all night, and I vowed that next New Years Eve would be different. I did what I thought was right for Skylee. It was a holiday and I spend it with her. I made sure she had fun and was happy. I played mommy alone, happy or not, I did.

Pretty Darlin' Jewelry

Okay, so I have way too much time on my hands. I see all this women making jewelry and selling it. I think I can do that. So I'm thinking I'm going to start making handmade jewelry and try to sale it. I think I would be really good at it. I mean, I know whats pretty and what I like. I will start small and see how it goes. I guess I'm always looking for alternative ways to make a little money here and there.
So tonight I decide to make jewelry. My blog is still my 1st love and comes 1st. I just need my lovely follows to lead me some support. I might even be giving out some free samples to do giveaways with, you never know. HEHE!
Just set back and join the ride of my " way too much time on my hands" ride!

XOXO

Psychedelic Sunday

I'm joining the blog hop Psychedelic Sunday hosted by Stash Mama.

Is it wrong to wanna spend time with your husband with no one else around. I'm sorry if that's selfish, he seems to think it is. I just love him so much. After a year of him not being around due to a deployment, I like having him around. I like spending time with him and just him.
I love our daughter but I don;t always want her around. I know most moms would agree with me. Kids are great and all, but sometimes you need mommy and daddy time. I seems to only get that between him working, doing his school work, me cleaning and taking care of Skylee. Then he has friends and family. I'm starting to feel I'm coming in last. I know his got a life outside of me. And it was my choice to be a stay at home mom and devote my life to him and our family.
But I miss our "us" time. Things are just so busy, while for him anyways. It's hard to find time.
I don't know. Just feeling a little bummed right now.

XOXO
