Nothing, really. I remember Mudsy inspecting my chores after I'd finished them to make sure I did everything right. I remember her showing me that when something didn't come off, you could scratch at it with your fingernail to get it off. I remember I detested having to do this. Even to this day, I avoid it at all costs. I bring out special scrubbies, and I scrub with all my might hoping to avoid actually having to touch whatever it is. But, alas, as a last resort, if my efforts aren't successful, the fingernail always pulls through. It still grosses me out though, because the dirt and yuckiness is then lodged uncomfortably under my fingernail even if for a brief second, before I get it out. And I wonder, did other mothers teach their children this method of cleaning??
I suppose I should come forward with the information that I coloured my hair red. Actually, I didn't. Jill did. I was doing her hair and saying how I wanted my hair done too. She offered. She said she had a hairdresser friend back home (lethbridge) who had shown her how to do foils. So I took her up on the offer. She came over one evening after the kids were in bed and I showed her what I wanted on a mannequin. Several hours later, it was done. She did a good job, but I don't know how much I like the colour line I used. Oh, how I miss L'Oreal and all the beautiful reds! No other color lines compare! It was supposed to be a nice deep red with bright copper and a deeper reddy purple peeking out. The copper isn't even really visible. And the red is fading fast. It's been two weeks and I the water still turns red when I wash my hair. Argh.
Today is a boring Saturday. Kyle is at school working on different projects. For some reason, I can handle when Kyle is gone during the week fine. I'm usually fairly busy and then before I know it, he's home. But when he has to be gone on Saturdays I feel like I'm going to die of boredom. I want him to be here. I don't want to take the kids out to do things by myself on Saturday, I want him to be there too. I want his company. That's just how I feel. I know, I better get used to it.
Why does flying back home have to be so expensive???!
What can I do with my kids anyway??
Oh- I got a calling. I'm the activity days leader. Again. well, I wasn't the leader in Nanaimo, but you know what I mean. I'm fine with this calling, I'm just sad that I don't have Katie as my assistant. Should be fun though, right?

well you better show us your hair before it fades away.
i don't think you should 'get used to it'. just endure it until this time of life is over.

I hate helplessly watching as the red flows out of your hair in the shower! I feel your pain. But yeah, where are the pics??
I think I remember mom teaching me that too! Only I've never minded it. Do it all the time with nary a blink. Maybe that comes with having massive finger nails though.

Raising young children is so demanding. And it is such a demanding time for your family when Kyle is going to school fulltime. Its just hard sometimes and I think that's okay. Its important to find ways of looking after yourself, though.
