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.

Leap Year Birthday Boys

Every year I start looking for Leap Year Birthday cards to send to the to guys that were born on February 29th, Leap Year. It seems to me that there is a need for Leap Year Birthday cards and that the greeting card companies would realize this and offer the good folks that only get to celebrate their true birthday date once every four years a decent Leap Year birthday card.

What Happened To Winter?

It seems as if we never got to experience and enjoy winter this year. This has been the craziest weather that I can remember. We only have had two snow storms and I really wouldn’t call them storms, barely a dusting really. And now all of a sudden it seems as if we have jumped right into summer with the temperatures hitting the high 70’s.

I’m not complaining really, I hate winter and everything that goes along with winter, but is this a true sign of Global Warming or what? Scary thoughts to ponder.

I Was So Lonely

My youngest daughter has been watching me blog and has been asking me questions about it, so I thought that I would allow her to post on my blog when she feels the urge to, so the following post is from her:

“Last week during lunch at school I had to eat lunch by myself. Well, I wasn’t completely alone at the lunch table. There were two girls there, but I didn’t know them that well. And they never really talked to me.  But none of my friends sat with me for the whole week! One of my friends sat at a special table for the week. My other friend sat with her boyfriend on Monday and Friday, like she always does, and the rest of the week she went to sit with her “mother” and “sister”. They weren’t really her mother and sister, they were actually just some of her other friends. So I was all alone for the whole week at lunch. Sort of. I felt kind of……abandoned?

I hope this week everything is back to normal. Because if it isn’t, I’m going to make my friends fell very guilty. Wouldn’t you?”

My Science Project

Hello, I’m Darlene’s daughter and my science partner and I have a science project due on February 24 about Saturn. My partner has the pictures of the Milky Way and Saturn’s clouds. While I get the information together about Saturn. I really wish that our project was all done and over with. It’s getting pretty hard with all this information. But I’m glad that we have about four or six days to finish it. We’ve been able to do a lot of the work at our houses even we can’t go to each others houses while doing it there. That would make it a lot easier for us. Just in case we didn’t think what we did is good or not. That is probably the hardest part about the project. (I wonder if I should have done it by myself or with a partner? Hmmm.)

People At My School Say I’m A Goody Goody.

Some of the students at my school at school say I’m a goody goody, I think the teachers appreciate it though. A goody goody is someone that always follow the rules and never does any thing that disobeys the rules. That is me, but I don’t mind being called a goody goody. Even though I am, I’m proud of it. To me I think kids, and adults, should not disobey the rules. I like for everyone to be good, but we all know that’s never going to happen no mater how much we want it to be.  (I wonder if that’s why not many people like me? Maybe not or maybe so. I don’t know.) Well, I got to go now, goodbye!
