Alissa got to meet the Shaytards today. She loves to watch the Shaytards on youtube. They are related to a family that owns a corn maze in Garland (which is right next to and merges with Tremonton). Alissa has already been to the corn maze 2 times this week, but she felt like she had to go tonight because she desperately wanted to meet the Shaytards. Also, she thought that the maze would be haunted and she has been dying to go through the corn maze when it's haunted.
Alissa went to the corn maze on Tuesday with the young Women's, then she went again on Wednesday with her friend Erin and their Young women group. That's when she learned that the Shaytards would be there. She came home desperate to arrange a way to get there. she didn't even have any money, so she had to figure that out also. She had friends who also wanted to go. She found a friend who would pay for her, but they couldn't find a ride. Then Sydney's mom, MaryAnn called and said she wanted to surprise Sydney and take her to the corn maze. She asked if Alissa wanted to come and she offered to pay for her. Alissa's friend, Malaiyha really wanted to go also. she had money, but no ride. So, MaryAnn said she would come and pick them up and take them all there. She came to get Alissa right around 5:00pm. Alissa had just found out that it wouldn't be haunted until 7:00pm. She got really sad and frustrated and emotional. She ended up crying when Sydney and her mom were here waiting for her and Malaiyha to get ready. I was frustrated that she was being a little bit of a stinker and crying over it. MaryAnn was super understanding. She said that she was super emotional and crazy like that when she was a teenager. She was very patient and calm with Alissa. Alissa and Malaiyha hurried and got ready and they all left. Roger had some cash, so he was able to send Alissa with some money. MaryAnn felt bad that they wouldn't get to go through it haunted, so after they went through and met the Shaytards (because the Shaytars were in the maze, so you couldn't meet them without paying to go through), she paid for them to go through again when it was haunted. She was so ridiculously nice to do that and to cater to the kids so much tonight. Alissa loved it. She came home feeling super happy and excited. She had a really fun night. She felt really bad about the crying she did before they left. She said that she just couldn't stop the tears from coming. She was embarrassed. Here are the pictures that MaryAnn took of their fun.
Yesterday, I was still feeling really angry and hurt. Roger took the kids aside and tried to explain to them how I was feeling and why I hadn't been myself lately. They all felt really bad for not paying any attention to me. They all cried a little because they hadn't realized how bad and hurt I was feeling. The kids all worked together to clean the house. They all apologized and told me how sorry they felt, then they gave me lots of love and attention. I'm feeling much better and happier today. I'm over it and ready to move on from my crappy birthday. I'm ready to be happy and nice and take good care of my family again. Their heartfelt apologies really helped me to feel better and realize that none of them were trying to hurt me, they are all just really clueless when it comes to birthdays.
