I've been playing hooky from the world (and from blogging) with my kids this week. We are officially done with our school year! Hooray! Since we've all been through a lot with Chilly and his health stuff the last few months (not to mention all of the other stinky mojo), I decided it was time for me to spend some quality time just hanging out with my two offspring with no distractions. It can be pretty overwhelming for the kiddos watching their dad deal with his diabetes and heart condition. We just need some "down" time to chillax.
My kids kept asking me if I was going to get in trouble because I wasn't blogging. Apparently, they have been tipped off about some sort of bloggy police force that may write me a ticket for non-blogging. I assured them it would be fine and that we were just going to play hooky for a few days. Later that same day, a cashier at Target asked Cat what she'd been doing for the day. She smiled at her and said, "I've been playing hooker with my mom." That was a lovely moment. The cashier just looked at me and I could hear her thinking "ain't no way I'd pay money for you, lady..." Niiiiicccceeee.....
Which got me to thinking that I am waaaayyy over due for a makeover. I have a confession to make....I haven't had a haircut for over a year now....color...forget about it! My roots are dark with curly gray tendrils sticking up all over. I look like a hag. This weekend, I am getting a cut, color, manicure and pedicure. I am tired of looking tired....so I am going to rock a new look, and then the cashier at Target will realize she could never afford me if I really were a hooker! Snap!
Tween Caveboy finally bit the bullet and whacked off his long locks yesterday! Can I hear a "whoop-whoop"!? Actually, I thought his long hair looked pretty cool, but the desert heat finally proved to be too much for him. Chilly, I know you are still celebrating over this.
Speaking of the nerdanderthal, last night he missed the finale of American Idol for the first time since the show began. He went to pick up our son from a church youth group meeting that ended at 9:00 pm. I actually had to give him the play by play over the phone. When they announced Kris as the winner, I blew out Chilly's eardrums with my screaming....it went something like this..."OHMYGODKRISALLENJUSTWON!HEWONHEWONHEWON!!!" and more really loud screaming after that. Don't get me wrong..I thought Adam rocked the house...the guy has an incredible set of pipes! I just know that Adam has a superstar career ahead of him no matter what happened last night. I am really delighted that Kris won!
Chilly entertained us throughout the show with his Adam Lambert rocker scream singing....I did my best Fergie moves and impression while "Boom Boom Pow" was performed by the Black Eyed Peas....Catherine went crazy playing air guitar when KISS was jamming "Detroit Rock City." She was jumping around like a crazy person so much that I kept screaming "Watch your feet! Don't hurt your feet! You have a dance competition in two weeks! Stop it with the feet!" Sad, isn't it? I've become one of those psycho dance moms....She paid me no attention however and just kept on rockin' the air guitar. I just sighed and got back to playing my air drums....
Thank you to everyone who emailed me about my absence:) That really made me feel all warm fuzzy! Hugs and smoochies all around!
Wishing you all a very peaceful Thursday!

Have a fan-tab-u-lous break with your kids!!
joyce
thanks for the laugh
And I so need a makeover too...I haven't cut my hair in over a year either.
I'm lookin' to play a little hooker myself. The kiddos are growing up way too fast.
Enjoy your day of beauty!!
I love the hooker comment...Kids embarrass us in the most wonderful ways don't they! That is actually what I wrote about today....
Glad your back! Hope you had fun with your kidlets..
Are you going to share photos of your new look?
glad your back from walking the streets and have escaped the law.
Makeover or no-- the cashier be blind.
Hmm... she must live in houston...[ahh..neevr mind. Too long a story...!]
Nice to "have you back", Lady D.-- and to be so meself!
(Wanna makeover together? HEHE!! SORRY, CHILLY!!! Well, only Kinda...!!!lol!)
My 4 1/2 year old boogied her little tutu off when Adam sang with Kiss! How lucky we are to have children who are uninhibited enough to let the music flow through their veins and move their feet!
Welcome back to The Land of Blog!
I am also glad that Kris won. WHOO HOO!! Adam can rock but his tongue thing that he does sicks and grosses me out.
I am THRILLED that Kris won. I wasn't a big fan of Adam though. I couldn't stand that certain pitch he'd hit, the tongue sticking out, just the whole thing. In our house his sound was described as sounding like his balls hadn't dropped yet. :-D
I love that your daughter said that to the cashier! Classic!
And I think spending time with offspring is more important than blogging any old time!
and the Blog-police...sometimes you wonder if they might exist...right!?!?
Glad you got some down time chillaxin.
