Assumptions

If you acknowledge that it is mine, you are acknowledging that it is not yours. Therefore, by taking it, you are acknowledging your own thievery.

I assumed people could follow college rules and think.. "Well this isn't mine, so I shouldn't eat it." But I learned today that when not at college, you can't make that assumption. It doesn't matter if your name is written on it, or how expensive people know it is.. they will eat it anyway, because it is available.

Which I understand to a certain extent.. because when at home you generally just eat whatever is around the house.. And of course I approve of that. People go to the store and buy things and bring them home and you eat them! But if someone writes their name on something.. that's generally enough for anyone to take the hint that it's not meant to be shared with the family. Guess that doesn't work for everyone though. I'm totally cool with people eating the things I buy for the house, just not the things I specifically write my name on. You can ask for some, or I can offer you some... but you don't just dig in. Right? right.

Result: restoration of a hidden stash in my bedroom.
I hate not being able to trust people though.

Babysitting Weekend

 
  Well hello there all. This weekend was spent in Hillsboro, Tx just outside of Waco. My sister and her husband were attending a finance seminar and needed a babysitter! So for two days I was on baby duty from 6am - 8pm. And today until about 10am as well, when his grandparent's on Josh's (my sister's husband) side took over. And I made it home in time to go to the singles ward session of church!

Babysitting was way fun, and Jason is a perfect little angel. Best kid you could ask for as far as babysitting goes. I've never babysat for a baby for that many hours in a row before.. gives me a new appreciation for how often they eat and sleep!! Being around a baby so much, I've started noticing myself getting tired at all the times he's down for a nap! Even 10am! lol. It also gave me a new appreciation for parents of BOYS, because the perilious thought that every time you change their diaper, they might decide to pee on you in the process, is just a TAD bit frightening. Ha, and yes, I did get to experience that joyous wonder... gah. ha. Its all good though.

Can't say much right now, but there might be more babysitting in my future. But that's all still very up in the air. I'll keep you all posted though, you know I will =)

loves!

My Texas Home

 

Well, I've been bugging my friend Mandy to update her blog, and she finally did... so I figured it was time to update my own blog! Haha, since I haven't updated it at all since leaving Idaho! So here we go!

Last weekend my family celebrated the first ever Capps Family Reunion! Everyone was there but Jeff and his family, and our sister Brenda. And David's not in the above picture because he had to leave before we took said picture, but he was there! My oldest nephew Andrew and I had been planning a not so secret water fight for quite a long time it seems! And so it was rather exciting for it to finally happen =) In actuality, we had several water fights by the time all was said and done! I bought a bunch of water guns, and all of Chad's kids and his two foster children brought their own guns. So nearly every time we went swimming at the pool, waterguns came along with and we had water fights in the pool! And anyone without a gun always had the option of just splashing ;P

Melanie brought her Mary Kay stuff with her, and we had a little Mary Kay party with the girls the second night! And everyone got to learn how to do their make up. It was fun, but everyone sure crashed by the time we were done! The last official activity of the reunion was a water balloon fight! After which we returned to the cabins and had cake and ice cream to celebrate my niece Juli's twelth birthday!

So other than that, our activities were mini-golfing, talking, hanging out, and my personal favorite... changing dirty diapers. Hahahaha.

Since then, life's been pretty simple. Lots of doctor appointments for me this month, but that's not unusual. And more are likely to come. Yesterday Paula and I hung out, and we got our tshirts for our tye-dye project! Hopefully the tshirts come out good when we end up dying them, which probably won't be until next week. I'm spending this weekend in Waco, Texas babysitting for my sister! Little baby Jason! So, lots more dirty diapers to come in my future! But I will be back by Sunday for church, as it turns out, which will be happy. Because otherwise I was only gonna get like 2 sundays with my friend Paula!

Well that's all for now. Next upcoming activities are:
Tye-dying!
Hanging out with Paula!
My friend Colby's wedding in Idaho!
