Ok, I m planning on dying my hair. I have the color and everything picked out. I know it is bright and all that, I just want to know what y'all think about it before I actually do it. Now, granted, I might just go and do it anyhow, mainly cause its my head and all thet crap, but I still like the occasional feedback once in a while
To find the exact shade, go to http://www.lorealparisusa.com/haircolor/products/feria/index.asp then choose shade display, reds, and it is the top one, R75. I know its bright, but it looks fun. Its called Flaming Red Bright Copper Red. its just so darn catchy.
Now, I want HONEST feedback. I already know what a few of you think, cause I have already asked you. Hubby thinks it will look decent, although he wants me to go have a pro do it instead of my hun (I miss you so much), but I would rather she did it so I can be comfortable, sit practically nekked if I so choose (well a tank and shorts anyhow...screw the bra and undies...I don't wear em anyhow) and that way Eric can watch so when I need touch ups, he can do it instead of paying $40 or whatever it is to have your hair dyed in a salon every however many weeks in between it needs to be done.
lemme know. I am curious what everyone thinks.... |

Well, I think it is official. No matter what my mom says, I am going to home school these girls until we are finally settled in one place. I have bought a few books to read up on it, looked online for stuff, and even have some test lesson plans figured out to see how well she would manage. Eric even agrees with me. We would clear out the toy room and turn it into a classroom of sorts... He said we would even get her a desk and something for me too....like a small comuter desk thing to sit at while she does her work. Plus, we would get a white board, and a cork board (to hang up her work) and star stickers for when she does good, and other stickers too. (I like stickers...so sue me) We would do a field trip a month, and since I would be the teacher, I wouldn't need permission slips... which would be nice. Plus, I will save money on school lunches and stuff like that for a while too. at least til she is in 7th grade (I think that is when we will finally be done with moving all the time)
ummm....shit I just lost my train of thought. damn phone rang....fucking telemarketers...its freaking 10:00 at night...where was I...oh yeah...
Zoe is learning really well right now. As you saw in one of m,y other posts, she is learning how to read and sound out words. And besides....how many 3 1/2 yr olds do you know that can spell Walmart? with the star in it too, so it would look like this ---> Wal*mart Plus, she knows that the red light means stop, the green light means go, the yellow light means slow down, and things like that. I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast.
I know, some of you are thinking, why not send her to public school or private school or something like that? Well, I Would, but living here, in the part of the city that I do, most of the people speak spanish. we don't. In fact, I had some woman ring my doorbell earlier, start rambling something in spanish and I was like "huh? What are you talking about" Then she asked if I spoke spanish (probably saw the confused look on my face) and when I said no, she said I'm sorry then walked away. Hmmm....maybe if I answer the door in french or italian or something, they will leave me alone and never come back....keep those people who hand out those booklets on stuff I don't read anyhow and end up being a coloring book for Zoe away. They are mormon or something. I don't know. next time I will just tell them I am not interested...or I could answer the door naked, as if I had just gotten out of the shower, or was just getting in....that old man wouldn't know what hit him and he would have a heart attack right there.
Holy crap...that got WAY off topic....LOL
Anyhow, I think I am good for now, and seeing what time it is, I think I should go to bed....the girls will wake up sooner than I want them to, so if I want to get any decent amount of sleep, I should go to bed. night all and have wonderful dreams....
Edit: adding more onto the subject...
I don't have to worry about the spending 24 hours a day with them, since I already do that. It will just be more hands on than anything. One good thing I thought about with homeschooling is if she is too sick to go to school, but wants to play, I can still make her do some schoolwork and stuff. Plus, if she isn't learning, I can't exactly blame someone else for not teaching her well enough...We are planning on getting her involved with either girl scouts ordance or a sport of some kind or something. Maybe girl scouts would be best to start...not quite as demanding as sports and other activities. Hmmm...I should check that out while I am thinking about it. ok...for a daisy scout you have to be 5....which is fine. It gives me time to lok for other activities too. Eric and I also talked about like for the subjects in which I don't do so well (history.....gag me) He can help when he gets home from work, plus, that can be special time just for him and Zoe (and mya when she gets older)
I think thats it for now. if I think of adding anything else, I will....(I learned how to edit posts...LOL!!!) |

I FINALLY get to sleep around 1am and not even an hour later, Zoe wakes up, tells me her tummy hurts and before I can ask whats wrong, she pukes all over the bed. So I get up, clean her up, change the sheets and blankets, lay back down and not even 20 minutes later, she does it again. Then to make things even better, when m ys woke up at 6, she ate(like usual) then spit up all over me and the bed. So I now currently have no clean sheets or blankets in my house. To top it all off, I woke up with a sore throat too. and now (because she is tired and won't go to sleep) Mya is screaming her head off. Plus, Eric gets home in 6 days, the house is no where near being clean, and I am about ready to start ripping my hair out. could this day get any worse?
ow...I just split my lip. I guess thats a yes as in it can get worse.
time to go bang my head against the wall a few times....maybe that will help me fel better...

Last week, the weather was oh so nice and warm and we were wearing shorts and stuff. Guess what I wake up to this morning. Zoe saying "Look mommy, its snowing!" as she runs outside in sweats a sweater and sandals. Now, I wasn't about to go out and get her, cause well, I was still in bed and I sleep nekked. ok ok TMI I know, but sill....I wasn't about to get out of my nice warm bed and go out into the snow to get her in the house. So I knocked on the window and told her to get back in here that way. oh well... such is life I guess. |

even though I woke up with a migraine starting, I got it to go away and I am in a very happy and chipper mood today (thank you starbucks marble mocha macchiatto...yum). for one thing, Zoe's finger is healing just fine. now that I have been able to get it clean and see how bad it really is, it is actually quite minor. she might have a scar for a while, til it grows out (if ever) but that is the price for getting a cut. I have tons of scars from stupid things...LOL. plus, the best thing ever is Eric is comming home in 9 days!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! which makes me all happy and some junk.
now to figure out what I want to make for dinner and get the house clean. hmmm.....dinner....cheddar wurst and baked beans. ok thats done. now for cleaning.... *hesitates* well, I guess I should get off my ass and get to it. especially if I want to be able to get hard wood floors, a new bed for Zoe (maybe one for us too) and go visit Janey (I miss you so much!!!)
ok...I'm going.
really
I am
I will be cleaning
I promise
really......
ok....have fun everyone |

I think I may have a job in 5 years (when the girls are both in school) I have gone and found out what I would need to do to work in a bakery and decorate cakes. (a dream of mine) Granted, it is 5 years down the road, but that just means I have plenty of time to get those damn roses and flowers down pat. And, if we happen to move between now and then, I already know what I would need to get a job in a bakery almost anywhere in the counrty. so I am happy, and I just may be able to do one of my ultimate dreams. Now to only remember to take pictures of cakes as I do them so when I do apply for a job, I have proof of what I can do. Making sure I have film in the camera is a good idea too. or the digital one is charged up....
I think I am good for now. |

ok....here's the deal. the night before last (which would be monday night I think...I don't know...too lazy to look at a calendar) Zoe was bringing me a jar of jelly so I could open it so she could put some on some bread with a spoon (shes not allowed knives yet...only 3). Anyhow, I hear a pop sound, and think nothing of it until she starts screaming bloody murder. Apparently, the 'pop' was the jar falling on the floor and breaking. She tried to pick it up I guess but cut her finger all nasty like instead. My poor baby. THANKFULLY, I was chatting with the hubby online, so he told me to turn on the webcam so he could talk to Zoe and keep her calm, which he knows would also keep me calm, while I tried to clean her up and get the bleeding to stop. After about 45 minutes and a box of wipes and 4 squasres of gauze, it stopped bleeding enough so I could see how bad it was or wasn't. Granted, I probably should have taken her to the er to have them look at it and stuff, but, well, it was dark, I hate driving, and I didn't want to call an ambulance for that, plus Mya (6 months) would have been a pain in the ass too. I didn't really want to find out what it would be like to keep a 3 yr old calm while she got stitches as well as take care of a 6 month old who when she doesn't get a nap or enough sleep is crabby, cranky, and is currently in one of those "I just wanna be held and if you put me down no matter how happy I seem I am gonna scream til you pick me up again" moods. Lovely huh. Since I had gotten it to stop bleeding finally, We went and got some ice crea from baskin robbins. and what do you know. she was "All betternow" as she stated it. I wish when I cut myself like that I would be "all better" with some ice cream. LOL
Anywhoodles, now, 2 days later, I hink I am finally aable to put a regular bandaid on it, although, she can take those off so I may keep the gauze and paper tape stuff on it until it heals some. also then I should be able to clean it with peroxide (its too deep now and would sting like all hell) So, until then I will be cleaning it with soap and water and a sting free bactine spray or neosporin until it starts to heal. My poor baby. |

Well my week has gone from bad to worse. It started out ok, like any other week, it was sunny outside and warm so I have been able to have my windows open. Then the crap started. First, Mya ghets into this attitude that no matter WHAT I am trying to do she decides she HAS to be held NOW or I am going to scream my head off til you pick me up. Which means no cleaning has gotten done (Cleaning is big for me right now....mor on that in a bit). THEN Zoe decides that as I do get something clean she is going to bring something else out and dirty it right back up again...for instance....I had just finished vacuuming the living room floor, gotten it all clean and pretty and went to work on the kitchen when I hear "uh oh" She had dumped an ENTIRE BOX of frosted mini wheats (The bite size ones) onto the floor. granted, she was carrying it and it slipped out of her hands, but I had just finished cleaning that room. So now I have to do that again. And then there is today. Mya was in her mood again so I said screw this, we are going to starbucks to get some good coffee cause I don't feel like making any. I ordered their white mocha something or other (It was really good.....sweet too) and was walking out the door when I lose my grip and drop the entire thing (well about 3/4 of it) onto the sidewalk. Since I didn't want to spend another $4 or whatever it cost to get another one, I said fuck it. And there she goes again with the whining and the crying and the "I wanna be held....pick me up" cry.
Now the cleaning thing. I made myself a promise that while Eric is deployed I will do my damndest to get the house clean. I even have some incentives...I will get to restart City of Heroes and get City of Villains too...I will get a day a week where I get to go out someplace for a couple hours by myself and a few other things. Which I think is great. Other than the fact that cleaning has all but stopped with Myas most recent moodiness and Zoes not wanting to help and all the other crap thats going on.
So with all this and everything else, I am getting a migraine and REALLY needing to punch something to let out my frustrations, but since all I have is a brick wall and REALLY don't want to drive myself to the hospital with 2 kids in tow cause I broke my fist punching the wall (I need a punching bag....badly) I guess I am just going to have to deal with everything for 2 more weeks until Eric gets home.
wow....I feel better now that I blurted all that out. this blogging thing is pretty cool :) |
