Picture Princess

Emily loves to take pictures of things. And her favorite subject is of course, herself.  The other day I was busy doing hair and Emily found the camera..... These are just four of the 139 shots that she took of herself. Yes you read that right. 139 pictures of the princess.   

7 Things About Me

Well here we go folks.  My friend Sioux tagged me. The challenge: 7 things most people don't know about me.  Seven is a BIG number! This really makes you think about how truly crazy you are. 

1. BOOGERS. I HATE boogers with a passion.  They make me want to vomit. If I see a little kid with them running down their face or the ADULT (usually male) picking one out, I'm instantly nauseous.

2. I'm uncomfortable in large groups of people where you are supposed to be socializing.  I get very shy and clam up.  I'm much better with small groups of 2 or 3 people.  Surprising, I know, considering I could find something to say to a tree.

3. I actually like to cook.  Some of you may be laughing right now, however, I've gotten quite good at it.  I even get the gourmet cooking magazines!!

4. Creme Brulee.  I LOVE this stuff.  If it's on a menu, I have to have it.  I don't care if I'm on a diet that day or not.  It's going to be in my tummy.  My favorite place for it is a restaurant in Mesa called the Blue Adobe Grill.  YUM.  Gourmet Mexican food AND creme brulee.  What more do you need??

5. I hate laundry.  Everything about it. Washing, drying, folding, hanging it up or putting it in a drawer.  Hate it.

6. I would LOVE to go sky diving and bungee jumping some day.  I think that it would feel so free.  Yes. I know I'm crazy.  Here's the really funny part.  I have a panic attack whenever I get to close to the edge of something high.  The grand canyon, a roof top, the second level at the mall... 

7. Jeff says I snore sometimes. I have large adenoids and when my allergies are acting up, they get even bigger, and I can't breathe.  So it's not my fault. 

So there you have it.  The seven most interesting things you'll ever know about a person! Haha!  I tag:

Jenny, Nikki, and Candi.

Sleeping with a Sick Kid

It's 12:30 am.  You're sound asleep.  Dreaming. Comfortable. At peace.  Then out of nowhere....BAM.  A child is standing at your bed telling you they are going to throw up.  Okay, you say, go to the bathroom.  In they go and the fun begins.  Any parent who has ever had a kid throw up just once in the night knows there is no more sleep coming your way.  Every sound, cough or deep breath has you ramrod straight in the bed saying, "Where's the bowl? Get the bowl!"  There is no more vomit, but none the less, there is no more sleep.  Then morning comes.    You have made it through without changing the sheets.  You make your way to the bathroom and survey what's left.  Puffy eyes.  Hair in every direction.  You look good, considering  you've slept with a sick kid.

A new obsession...sigh

Ok. I have a new obsession.   Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE to read.  My good friend Jenny gave me a book called Twilight. (Some of you may know exactly what I mean by obsession now.)  These books are FANTASTIC!!  All I can say is once you start, you won't want to stop until you are done with all the books. (There are 3 right now, with the 4th & final one is out in August.) I downloaded them onto my ipod, because I felt I should still be productive.  I'm utterly useless when I've started a book until it's done.  So that's it.  I finished all three books in less then a week.  Yes.  I know. Obessed.

Another One Bites the Dust

Well folks, Ethan's lost his second tooth.  This time it wasn't quite as fun as the first one.  Jeff helped it along, and there was some blood... Neither of which Ethan was a fan of!  He has at least three others wiggling around in there! I just hope a few start to grow in before anymore fall out! 

Party Anyone?

Emily loves my little ponies. She received several for her birthday and one had a party theme.  So as you can see: a party hat, is a party hat, no matter how small!

What does a smile mean?

Today, one of our clients had to give up Wiggle tickets because her little girl was sick.  I was the lucky recipient of the tickets which were PRIMO as you can see.  We were right by the stage!  After the concert I was asking the kids what their favorite parts of the show were.  Emily said the costumes, of course. Haha! Ethan said his was the part where Murray played the guitar.  I asked him if he had a good time. Here is the conversation that followed:

Mom: Did you have fun?

Ethan: No.

M: Really?  It looked like you were having a great time!

E: Just because I had a smile on my face didn't mean I was having a fun time.

Who knew? I always thought that was a SURE sign of enjoyment!  I stand corrected. Hahaha!  Here is a picture, as proof, of his "non-enjoyment"!
