The girls had a great time! Although they only went on two rides, they LOVE to people watch. The girls weren't brave enough to go on the small rides by themselves, so we settled for the train and the carousel. The girls take after their father and never smile in photos for me. But I was able to snap a few!
Cute pictures!!
Now for my rants...
I had a selfish moment tonight. But then I stop and realize that the only thing that matters and should matter is my girls happiness. Yea, I didn't go on any rides but my girls had fun! They love being out in public where they can run around and scream. Do I wish I was able to just do whatever I wanted? Yea, kind of. But my girls smiles and giggles are worth so much more. Am I a little upset that Kelly got to stay late and enjoy himself while I had to get the girls home and get them to bed? Yes, I am.
I'm at the point right now where I feel that WE need to change because of the girls. I mean, shouldn't we? We are a family now. If I'm going to go somewhere, the girls go with me. Therefore, plans will have to change since we have children. Sometimes I get jealous that Kelly still has a "friend" life and gets to enjoy himself. I have a few friends that I would love to get together with, but I don't. Not because I don't want to, but life is different now. My girls come first, end of story.
Kelly has a friend Mike that is getting married in less then a month and it's up in Sun Valley, Idaho. I'd love to go as a family, because that is what we are. But Kelly wants us to leave the girls at home so that we can enjoy ourselves for a weekend. Why do I think that is wrong? I don't know... It's just an inner battle that I have with myself. I put my girls first and I know that I need to take time for myself, I just don't.
Hopefully I'll find a happy medium somewhere. Sorry for the rambling, I guess I just needed to get it out! It was a fun time, I would have enjoyed to go on some rides, but I guess there is always next year!
Hope all is well with all! I'll try to post more, the girls have been so cute lately!

Looks like so much fun! It is so hard to sacrifice your own fun sometimes...it is a constant battle. When we went to the fair a few weeks ago, we took turns riding the rides alone. It's not quite as fun as doing it together but we just had to make it work (and I love a good roller coaster!) It won't be long before they'll be riding them with you!! Good luck figuring it all out, you have a great perspective and a positive attitude!
Taking time for yourself is not a sacrifice you are making - say a " Girls Vs. My Husband".
It is wonderful to take time for you and your husband. Date Nights, Quick SV. Vacations, Etc.. To Rekindle The Romance That Has Been Replaced with Giggles & Smiles.
Enjoy the fact that the little ones have a great grandma and grandpa that will care for them while you get a much needed break. :)
