Nursery!

Okay, so she's really not 18 months for a few weeks. But Sister Green was so nice to let her come in early! And she was so excited, she didn't even look back. She has a little boyfriend in there already too. Carter was so excited and started laughing and saying hi to her when he saw her come in.

 I missed her though! It was nice to actually  listen to the lessons but I felt like I was missing something. She was happy to see me though after church and that made me feel good.

Hair Woes

If it was socially and visually acceptable to walk around bald I would shave my head. I have a love/hate relationship with hair; have my whole life except for high school when it straightened out a little and was really thick.

Here's my dilemma now: pregnancy thinned it out a TON and made it really fine. It still has just enough wave to be obnoxious but not enough to have pretty curls. I don't like taking forever to straighten it and I don't like pouring an entire bottle of gel to try and make it curly. I don't like having hair in my eyes or on my face. I don't like taking more than ten minutes to fix it (let's be honest, Lauren doesn't like me to take more than 5).

I like my hair longer, but that in-between, growing-out stage drives me nuts! Which is where I'm at right now.

Should I cut it? Not cut it? How would I cut it? Any ideas or tips out there?

Thursday Thoughts

- It's finally cooling off! haven't turned on the AC for three days now!

- Which means it's almost sweater season-- I own many more sweaters than t-shirts; I'll have something to wear!

- Where are all these nasty flies coming from? I spent a good hour this morning trying to get those buggers totally out of our house this morning. Gross.

- Almost done with Lauren's quilt top. I'm excited to see it all done! I can't decide whether to machine or quilt it by hand.

- Three more weeks 'till nursery. That will be the best birthday present ever.

- Watched the new "Your's, Mine and Ours" movie today. The old classic one is just so much better. Can't beat Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda.

- I think Lauren "wants" to be a butterfly for Halloween.

- Helped my mom and grandma bottle tomatoes and spaghetti sauce yesterday. It was fun! I want to try pears in a few weeks. Never done pears before... are they hard?

- Mustering my strength to pull more 4 foot weeds in our yard on Saturday. The good news is that some of them are starting to turn brown and die!

- Traded our two non-working lawn mowers for a working riding one a week or so ago. Chase has been grinning from ear to ear from our awesome find. Thank goodness we were blessed when we were or our lawn would be a complete disaster by now.

- I wish the company Chase works for didn't take so long to get things done. They drag their feet on everything.
