It seems as if lately, I have been reading a lot of GREAT facebook statuses from my friends. Because of this, I wanted to post a few of them as they come in. I think I could write a whole lot about this one, but I will leave it for now!!!

The Negotiator
Scene:
6 AM on a Friday morning.
K: Mommy, can I go outside and play?
Me ( half asleep): Sure baby! (K silently walks downstairs. I can hear him open the back door to play in the back yard. I get up, open the slider up here, so I can hear him and get in the shower. Fast forward 35 minutes). Baby, it’s time to come up and get dressed for school.
K: Mommy, can I bring my train wiff me?
Me: How about 1 train car.
K: How about 4?
Me: How about 2?
K: How about 3?
Me: How about 2?
K: Mommy, how about 2!
(He comes upstairs and is completely naked!) *Good thing it’s summer time!

High Five for Friday—week of 07.04.11
*It is my goal that even when I kvetch, I still have an attitude of gratitude, so each Friday, I want to share at least 5 fantastical things that have happened to me!
1. PTO!!! Enjoyed the 4th!!!
2. My son’s laugh! This week has been a doosey at work and it seems like K knows that I need more of his laugh this week! And I have gotten it! So blessed!
3. Dinner with Genevieve. We have gone to church together for years and it’s been a blessing to “make” a new friend and get to hang out!
4. A very kind note from Gisela thanking me for being positive. It really made me happy that, without knowing it, I have been helpful to her… That’s a very cool thing!
5. 64 days until Hawaii!

Tuesday Truth-day! July 5, 2011
*I will use each Tuesday to rat myself out about something! It’s all in good fun and I am sure that these “truth-day” revelations won’t be things people don’t already know about me!
I despise shaving my legs. Let me clarify—it isn’t that I “like” having hair on my legs, it’s just that I really don’t like taking the time to shave 2 or 3 times a week; I just can’t be bothered withit. I long for winter when I rarely wear a skirt (and let’s not get confused, I don’t wear skirts all that often anyway) or when the demand (due to sunshine) is such that you feel peer pressured into shaving your legs more often than not.
Sadly, there is shame associated with this because I don’t dare go to the nail salon without shaving my legs when I get my pedicure. When I get a massage, I try to be diligent about having clean shaven legs. Oh yes, I do all of this because I don’t want these people to think less of me, not because I have hairy legs (or maybe these are one in the same!). Who knows… what I do know is that I loathe shaving my legs…
