I’m bored..

Happy? Pfft.

Am I a sell-out?

You know, I guess it’s okay to say that. See, I would never put advertisements on my personal site. I’m kind of against that (no offense). I didn’t want to put them on my mommy blog, either, but I lost track of it. It turns out these paid reviews are actually helpful in creating content. They actually help me keep that site going now. I try to pick mostly things a parent would consider and put a “mommy” spin on it. Maybe help people think of things in a way they never did before.

I decided I’m splitting everything I make from my mommy blog with my boys. They each get 25% of what I earn. So far that’s only been about $3, but it will add up. The site’s still pretty low in the ranks, but over time I hope it will gain popularity for substance. What I’d eventually like to do is to be able to rate products for companies and be able to give real-life feedback on them. At first I’ll do ones we already own, but I’d like to be like Amanda and have products sent to me for that specific purpose. She got a diaper bag that would be so handy for my trunk. I know my kids are pretty big, but when you’re at the park and your kids are playing in the waterfalls, you start to wish you had some back-up clothes.

At least if I’m doing evil things, like selling my soul, I’m using the profits to help someone else. The money goes straight to their 4.5% interest savings accounts which I will release to them when they’re 18 or so. I’ve been adding $25 per month, per kid, for about 2 years now. I really put too much trust into ING.

Speaking of ING, if you’re thinking about getting an account with them please let me know. If I refer you and you deposit a minimum of $250 they give you a $25 bonus and give me a $10 bonus. Any sort of ‘free money’ I get goes straight into the boys’ savings.

I got some pre-sale tickets to see Three Days Grace in Charlotte and in Clemson. These tickets came with VIP seating and a meet and great with the band. I am so F*CKING EXCITED! I can barely contain myself. The one in Charlotte is directly after my birthday, so I guess I can consider it my present.

All I can think is, PLEASE don’t let me be disappointed!

I’m done trying to make friends. I’m just too bad at it.

The boys made a friend, Nyah, and her parents are pretty nice. I don’t know if they’re just nice to be nice, or what though. I get some seriously bad vibes from there, but I don’t know if I’m being overly self concious. They’re extremely nice to me and they haven’t really done anything, I just feel like I put my foot in my mouth a lot.

There’s a girl her mom is babysitting who she’s become friends with and she’s going to be there all this week and next week. So Nyah won’t be able to come over here and I’m terrible at letting the boys go over there alone. Usually I take them and end up sitting there talking. But then I spend the rest of the day wondering what they think of things I said. Then I get all annoyed and in a bad mood, so I just give up.

I pretty much realize I wasn’t meant to have friends. I’ve never been any good with people. They usually misunderstand the things I say and I end up feeling stupid. Damn, it’s annoying. You’d think I’d get better at this..
