We got wet

-
We went to water park today for a birthday party. No worries, it was indoors. The kids had so much fun! I hung out in the 10 inches of water they called the "Kiddie Pool/Grown-Ups-With-Kiddies-Pool/I-don't-have-any-kids-but-the-other-pool-is-too-cold-so-here-I-am pool". Hey, don't judge. It was warmer in there. And I did go down the super slide one time, with the excuse that I was taking my 7 year old down with me, only to have my 7 year old say she was 7 YEARS OLD and she didn't need me to sit her on my lap and ride down. *sniff* So when it was my turn, I felt a little awkward going alone. Kinda like a middle aged woman wearing clothes that are meant for her daughters. I digress...
Luckily there was a little boy who was terrified of riding the slide alone. His momma was nowhere in sight, so I just picked him up, all the while he was screaming and wrenching his head backward to see who the heck was man-handling him, set him on my lap and down we went. It sure made me feel better, because I was there for a purpose. Not sure if he was fully aware of how blessed he was though. I mean, what kid wouldn't be honored to ride down a waterslide with a strange woman?

I think you're the coolest!! *sniff* Can't believe you'd test the theory of kidnapping. :) Sounds like it was kinda fun. I can't wait to read your alien story. Just got done with the Twilight books. :) Need something new. Ya right, Jared about threw that last book away.

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
