Aunt Nay is sick

That's what Katie said to me last Friday as we were packing to leave for Grandma's house, and to take JM to summer camp. "Aunt Nay is sick," Katie said. "Sick with what?" I replied as I knew Aunt Nay was not indeed sick unless my daughter was suddenly clairvoyant or something. "Sick of cleaning." was her reply. Ah yes, I bet Aunt Nay is sick of cleaning. LOL I giggled and asked Katie, "Why is she sick of cleaning?" Katie replied, "'cause Deean and Mi-shell don't help."

After I finished laughing, I had to call Aunt Nay and tell her that Katie thought she was sick...of cleaning! LOL

Because I've felt guilt about it...

I keep telling Tonggumomma that I can hold my own against her in "old photo" contests. *giggle* So here is my evidence...the "good" photos!


I know I was in Kindergarten, probably the spring of that year. Why? The HAIR.


This was the Kindergarten FALL photo.


This is WHY I ended up with all my long pretty hair cut off. CURLY and LONG does not bode well for tangle free hair. ;)



Senior portrait....take a LOOK at just how curly it was....yes, PAST tense there.


First year of marriage...


By the time kids came along...I typically pulled it back...DAILY (that's JM ya'll...wasn't he just the CUTEST "little" 1 year old here, honestly 16 months which is how old Katie was when we got her? That outfit? it was either 2t or 3t, but I think 3t)


But sometimes I would leave it "down" and you can see how "non-curly" it is now, and how frizzy...and oh my I need some major hair help.



Then, while waiting on Katie's referral, I met "The Magic Hair Lady" who could do THIS to my hair....



*this is what it looked like without her magic touch* Be sure to COMPARE the curls to the Senior photo above, or heck even the one "pre kids" with the mountain view if you can see the hair....


That my friends is what having children will do to your hair. Hormones do some really funky things to your body. REALLY FUNKY.


I look amazingly ALOT like this today (same braids in fact, same length I'm fairly certain even though this was from 2007? or 2005?)


Okay, now you all can see the potential for the "fro" right? Don't worry....I'll scan and post it soon. Just for you Tonggumomma, just for you so you can feel less alone in the bloggy-land of embarrassing photos!


and I just noticed something ya'll...


We're about the same age here....he does look more like me than I thought! I can still see definite differences though (his face is rounder, his hair is straighter...but the eyes. Oh if I can find one of his eyes looking at me all serious....)

Laughing at myself.

Okay, so I joined this NoBloPoMo and I've been happily posting. I even started labeling all those posts for NoBloPoMo with a NoBloPoMo label...you know, so someone could easily find them if they so desired.

Yes, I probably should have had blond roots.

NoBloPoMo stands for NOVEMBER Blog Posting Month. Um, that NOVEMBER part. Yeah. Someone could click on the archives for NOVEMBER 2008 and find all the posts. No need for that NoBloPoMo label. No indeed.

*blush*

Wish I could claim something profound that allowed that little tidbit to come through, but alas I can not. I do this sort of thing all the time.

The question is, do I go back and remove the evidence or leave it for others to find?

yeah...about sums it up alright

Reminds me of Katie

NO, she's not a kitten. ;) It reminds me of her saying "Roar!" to us...it's all so sweet and cute and SO NOT SCARY. Much like this little kitten could not be scary at all (except first thing in the morning with claws out about to attack your face...).

I Can Has Cheezburger is a riot, if you have never visited enjoy the "procrastination" fun.

Math Helpline

Okay, I think I will not show my boys this. I can only imagine that they would get ideas I would rather they not have.
