War Paint

My teen spends a good amount of her time on the computer as much as the rest of us do.  I make an effort to keep an eye on what she is up to while on the Internet and it has given us plenty of opportunities to spend time with each other while surfing the net.

She has been into fashion and make-up since she turned 3 and we have spent a lot of time together playing with different girlie things, putting on make-up and doing hair.  Her girlfriends used to come over and invade my suitcases full of old colorful clothing that they could play dress-up with and have a blast.  I’d always had as much glitter on the floor as dust bunnies, that is before she has toned such things down with age.

Makeup is a big part of being a little girl, they watch Mom putting it on, day after day, and boys even like putting it on, they just called it by another name “War Paint”!

Driving Miss Daisy

Being a working mother makes it difficult to be able to watch an entire movie. If the phone rings or someone rings the doorbell it is me that gets up to tend to it and I’m always jumping up to get someone something to drink or eat or to switch the laundry to the dryer, etc……

Anyway, I could have sworn that I watched the entire movie “Driving Miss Daisy” years ago, but when I was flipping channels last night and found that this movie was the only thing on, I realized that I had missed most of the movie. Either that or my memory is worse than I though and I just don’t remember the darn thing. I’m glad that I watched it last night, it was a great movie.

Saturdays Used To Be Fun

Remember when Saturdays used to be the day that all week you looked forward to.  It was a fun day full of friends, activities and late night fun.  Now it is all about sleeping a little later than the weekdays, but not too much later because all of the chores that have been building up all week are waiting all for you.

Got most of my chores taken care of for the day, my youngest is having a friend stay the night, which is good because that will keep him occupied, while I tend to his Dad, who is still on the couch!

Happy 55th Birthday BFF!

This is a shout out to my BFF on her 55th birthday! It sucks that we live so far away and don’t get to see each other but about once a year if we are lucky. We have been best friends since the 4th grade and have managed to maintain close and in touch all this time. Friends are hard to come by and true friends are nearly impossible to find and hold onto. I’m so lucky to have her in my life.

The Dentist

Took my youngest to the dentist today, got a cleaning, a fluoride treatment and an exam that sent us home with a smile and another cavity free dentist visit!  Gotta love that.
