   Well, I will NEVER do that again!!  Nope, I put all my stupid waste of money beauty products BACK in the shower!!  They may not make me Beautiful, Younger,or SEXIER but they do make me HAPPY!!  I missed them so...  I am glad they are back.  I think I was about to go bauld from ripping my hair out with the hairbrush!  It was bad! 

 

  So I am lookin kinda rough!  I had to switch to the DOVE soap because the Dial soap was tearing up my every so pansy sensitive skin.  AKA It was makin' me ITCH. 

  My hair looks like straw, I have seen scarecrows with a better do.  Kinda brittle, One more snap and I am goin' bald.  My skin looks dull and abrasive with a varity of red splotches.  It is literally ABSORBING light.  My hands and feet are like sandpaper.  Its only Tuesday!  By tomorrow afternoon I am going to be sneaking in the bathroom for an exfoilating scrub.  Shh..

  I fear I am addicted to beauty products.  I long for the pretty bottles, I crave the refreshing sent, I NEED SOME CREME, SOME SAUVE, some balm.  Throw me a bone..I am dying here.

  Have you ever tried to soap up a shower poof with a bar of soap?  It doesn't work.  I HATE a washcloth.  Not sure why.  I just don't like them.  My legs look like I have been running for days thru ribbon grass.  I counted 10 nicks after one shaving disaster!  I think I will just wait till after Friday to do that again.  Did I mention I have much more freetime now that I am not useing those products.  Yeah well whats more free time good for when you look like Shhhhhhh  IT!!

 

  Anyway, I hope you have a GREAT Tuesday!

  No I am not talking about mildew, although I am sure there might be some in there somewhere.  I am talking about the claims and additives to my shower/beauty products.

  Last night I was giving E a bath and while he was playing I started reading the containers of my shampoo, body wash, face wash etc.  Are the things they put in this stuff really working??  Here is a list of stuff in my products:

 

  Vitamin B12 & Gelatin  this is shampoo to prevent breakage

  Fortifer for distressed hair: J's shampoo

  With Jojobo oil: Different shampoo

  Conditioner for your body: Shower lotion

  Berry Tea & Orange Flower: Shampoo. (Orange flower, like a Orange flower or an Oranges flower??)

  Soy Complex: Body wash

  Natural colloidal Oatmeal and Natural light diffusers: Body Wash, Colloidial Oatmeal as opposed to Quaker Oats.

  Pomegranate, Lychee, and Persimmon: Conditioner, am I cooking or conditioning my hair.

 

I know what you are thinking:

"You've got too much time" or "Man you've got a big shower"

 

Wonder if this stuff even works, I spend more money on stupid body products.  Wonder if I just went to some Dial soap and some Pert Plus shampoo if I would look any different?  Sure would be cheaper.  I'm scarred. 

 

So here is the thing.  I am doing a test.  I am putting all my shower stuff in a box for one week.  I will buy some dial soap and some Pert Plus shampoo (I have to have Conditioner or I wont be able to get a comb thru my hair) and Next Friday I will let you know if I look any different.  I hardly wear makeup anyway, so I wont change that.  I wont use the Bobbie Brown moisterizing creme, or the anti zit, anti wrinkle cream either, for 1 week.  I'll let you know how I look.

 

Have a great weekend!

 

 

 

  This was the strangest morning ride I have ever had.  E and I load up and are on our way to Daycare when the car starts beeping and "Coolant low" is flashing on the board.  I am thinking "What in the world is coolant?"

I know I am car repair challenged.  So I call my Dad who works 3rd shift.  Half way thru the ringing I remember he was off last night so I have just called him at 6:50 in the morning.  I hang up.  I call J who I know will give me no help at all because I know more about cars than he does.  He says "Thats your antifreeze."  I answer "Oh, NO NO CRAP! I JUST HIT A CHICKEN" E is in the back laughing like crazy, because apparently when you hit a chicken FEATHER fly up in the air just like POOF.  J is still on the phone "Did you even try to miss the chicken"  me: "Well if I went into the other lane I would have hit a car, if I would have slammed on the brakes another car would have hit me, and If I would have gone into the grass I would have hit a whole HERD of chickens"

J: "A herd of chickens??  I don't think thats what you call it."

me: "Well whatever, herd, flock, whatever"

E is still laughing in the back of the car

me:  "E that isn't funny, that poor chicken is dead."

E:  "Is his mouth dead?"

me:  "Yeah, if the chicken is dead, his mouth is too"

E:  "He cant talk"

me: "Not anymore"

E: "Momma, you see that POOF when you hit him? (giggle, giggle, giggle)

me: "Yeah, I saw the POOF" (giggle, giggle, giggle)

 

So after that I kinda felt bad about me and E laughing about the poor chicken.  It wasn't funny, poor thing died to save the rest of his herd, flock whatever, its not a gaggle right? thats geese. 

 

Then they were playing the spiderman song on the radio because today is the opening for Spiderman 3.  E says

"Momma, you hear that?  They say Spiderman!"

me: Yeah, I heard the Spiderman song"

E:  "Spiderman a friend to all SPIDERS"

me: "Yuck"

E: "Yeah Momma, yuck"

 

 

   So I guess the little one in my life decided to straighten up and fly right.  He was good at daycare yesterday, No hitting, spitting =or any of those other itting things he likes to do.

  E only watches Childrens programming on TV, but we made the decision last night that TV is just for the weekends.  So we turned if off. 

  I admit I sometimes use the tv as a babysitter.  I let E watch Oswald while I cook dinner, I let him watch Little Bear while I fold laundry, I say "Go watch Maggie and the Beast so I can mop"  I am guilty.  I confess.

  So I decided that on the days E is good at daycare he gets to choose an activity with me or J and do that activity.  Like an art project, a special trip to the park, baseball time with Daddy.  He gets to choose an activity for every strip he has left in his pocket at daycare.  E loves one-on-one time with us to that will be his reward, fun stuff with one parent.  Why just one??  Well the other one will be cooking, cleaning and doing laundry during this time.  The rest of the night while the tv is off we will read, do flash cards, take bubble baths and GO TO BED EARLIER! 

  It went ok last night.  He wasn't late to go to bed because he wanted to see the end of the Diego episode.  So he went to bed on time!  I was glad too because House was getting ready to come on..and I am NOT going to miss House.  The TV rule doesn't apply to me and J.  Personally, we would actually have to talk about work stuff at work instead of tv stuff, and well, thats just boring!

 

Have a great day!!
