friday thoughts

more rambling...

It rained all night long.  This morning, it started out breathtaking, making me want to sing!  Now, it's dark and grey and windy.  Lovely spring.  I really don't mind it at all!  I slept with the window open and listened to the rain fall while Doug shivered under my blankets wrapped over him.  :)

Last night, we had the privilege of attending a first grade performance of Jack and the Beanstalk.  Oh my gosh, it was cute.  I was ubber impressed with a teacher who'd go to so much work.  Very cute.  The kids loved it!  The giant was our favorite! 

This morning, our weekend plans completely changed. All my life, I've had this thing that I call "the no-show feeling".  It's almost a sixth sense about when things are planned and I know ahead of time that they aren't going to happen.  I mentioned it to Doug night before last.  I woke up this morning and my first thought was "This isn't going to happen".  Not that I wasn't excited, because I was.  But, I'd not even made the first list about it.  An hour later, the phone rang.  I was right.  There have been times that I've actually been in the car, on the road, on my way to whatever, but had this feeling and have turned around.  Today was one of those days.  The thing that kills me is that I never know why or why not it wasn't supposed to happen.  BUT.  It's one of those things that you listen to that still, small voice and cooperate.  This weekend was  one of those time.  It's all good... I'll use this extra time to polish up my Relief Society lesson.

Yesterday, I had a wild hair.  No pun intended.  I got a hair cut.  I'm talking a serious change!  It's above my shoulders.  It's layered.  It's sooooooooo different.  I'll have someone take a picture of me this weekend and share.  It's sooooo short and different!  As soon as I'm done blogging, I'll shower and see if I can make it look good.  That's always the biggest challenge, right?!

Now, Botox Mom has a different story.  I think that having your child go on national TV to lie about something for money is right up there with injecting her with Botox.  What is this mother teaching her child?   This child has been seriously affected, in uncountable ways, by this mother's actions, whether she did it or didn't. So sad for the little girl.

Finally... last thought for the day... have I mentioned that I love that summer vacation is less than two weeks away!?  Enough said!

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.

i'm with you on the botox mom. My opinion...the kid outta be kept in protective services at some other 'mom's' care. This woman is not fit to be a mom...all this for the first $200? $200 is nothing these days. Incredible. I say horsewhip her...yes, I'm on one of those moods.
