Nice Trip & Being a Good Person

Well we are travelling back home to grab our dog from the in-laws to then rush home to meet my folks; then we are off to my brothers to celebrate my nieces' birthdays.

We had a blast yesterday with swimming, dinner out and chilling in the room with treats. We all stayed up extremely late to get up really early this morning. We are a bit sleep deprived and now we have to go to a family function.


Handsome and I have some reservations as my brother and his wife decided to take their girls to Disneyland ahead of schedule. The original plan was to go as a huge family unit when our first Born's were at the age of 8 but they decided not to wait. Also, last year we spent about $120.00 on my niece's birthday presents to have my daughter receive gifts from a dollar store for her birthday (which probably didn't amount to $10.00). I was hurt and the original plan was to do the same this year; but I can not succumb myself to scoop that low. However, there was a smaller budget for my daughter to go shopping for their presents this time around. 


Sometimes, I wish that I could be petty like some people but in the end I can never do it. It is just not in my persona to be that small or hurtful. Live and let live. It does make me feel good to know that I am the better person but there are times when I have had too much of all the crap and desire to make a point ... but never can.


So with a smile on our faces we will be off to the family dinner gathering and nothing will be said or done. I guess at least I am teaching my daughter important morals by my actions.
