Could be worse!

If you think you are having a bad day, here is something to ponder....

I have a patient who set himself on fire, not once but twice today while smoking with his oxygen on..... beat that one..... yup.

Hair today, gone tomorrow...

Okay, so I started this post in early March- I uploaded some pics and that's as far as it got... so for the sake of posting some things- here are the pics!

For those of you who know Matthew, he doesn't love for his girls to cut their hair (with the exception of me because he's learned that I'm going to do that no matter what!) Anyway, he hasn't let anyone cut the girls hair except for his sister, who went to school for it- and even then, only a little trim. I have to admit that sometimes this has been nice. Long hair, while it can be difficult- is very versatile. Anyway- I recently cut mine and both Jocilyn and McKenna were dying to cut theirs and have a "summer cut" like moms. So here we are at the salon... McKenna's before pic.....

Here are both girls afterward at the house- I started this post on the desk top and I'm currently on the lap top, so i cant' change what pics are in here or add different before and afters... I'll do that later... but here you get an idea anyway... and a new-ish post- so stop your griping!... just kidding!

Here is Jocilyn after her cut- she had a LOT of hair- and I really do like her hair long- I wish on her that we'd never, ever, ever cut it- it would be awesome... but it's been cut a few times. I guess you have to do that- and it's what she wanted- and it's something that is pretty maintenance free, she usually does it herself for school, which is nice.

Here is mine... the girls did it one night and I loved it so much that I snapped a self portrait!!!

This is just so that you can see just how much "ooomph" they got going on in the back! (don't mind the bug-eyes!!!!

Well, that's it for now.

I did download some of the Easter pics to this computer and I'm up with Maesyn... so there is another post to come... I know! Can you stand it?!!?!?

They say funny stuff!

Here are a few things the kids have said that I just thought were cute/funny.

1. We were having pork for dinner one night and the girls were not thrilled with the way I cooked it.
kid, "I don't like this chicken"
Mom, "It isn't chicken, we are trying to eat other meats, this one is pork"
McKenna, "OH! Speaking of pork, dad loves lamb chops!"

2. Matthew asked me to pause a program on TV...
McKenna, (in a very administrative assistant tone)"mom, can you pause that for dad he says?"
Mom, "okay little helper, how cute are you?"
McKenna, "Oh, I don't know, about 98% cute..."

3. I am the biggest home body you'll ever meet. I hate going out with the kids, and especially I hate the freeway here. So the other day I took all of the kids with me to pick up Matthew from the airport... We were on the freeway and finally the kids asked- "Mom, why do you keep looking back here?" (I was looking whenever I changed lanes... guess they don't drive with me enough....)
