My Beautiful Son
This picture clearly illustrates why people tell us our son should be a child model. ;) I realize all parents are biased about their children, but come on! My bias is very solidly grounded in reality. haha!
I was amazed to recently discover that straight hair is "in" and curly hair is "out".. I know, I'm way behind the trends, but I am often very glad this is the case. This is one of those times. I would never ever ever want straight hair! I love curls! I wish I had more! And more and more! Even if mine are mostly fake curls already, I still wish I had more! Gah, the idea of curly-headed women intentionally straightening their hair is downright horrifying. Funny true story; while I was in the salon getting my hair permed, some Indian woman came in and she had GORGEOUS hair. It was down to her butt, thick, wavy/curly, black & shiny, just lovely. I was sitting there in awe, wondering what she could possibly want done to such beautiful hair -- only to watch in disbelief as her stylist straightened it! She walked out with this flat.. thin... lanky... stringy... yuck! hair, after coming in with the most beautiful hair I've ever seen. I couldn't believe it. What is wrong with you women! It's like they all say... no woman is ever happy with what she has.. always has to be changing it, usually for the worse!
Not me! No, sir! hah!
Actually, 75% of the time I don't like my perm at all, because I have to scrunch it and put gel in it in the mornings. I don't like to TOUCH my hair in the mornings or at any other time. I want to get out of the shower, shake it dry with the towel, and go. No brushing. No blow drying. No styling. No gel! Nothing. Just go. Unfortunately the perm doesn't work well with the "just go" attitude. Bummer!
And here is Zane again... slurping down my iced coffee after his nap. Mama's boy!
Other than that... things are fine. I'm kind of tired of working already. It's nice to go to work with Shane every day and spend so much time together as a family, but on the other hand, it's pretty hard on me. I can't get a heck of a lot done with Zane hanging on me all day, and Shane is so busy he rarely gets to take him. So it usually ends up, Shane will take him for 30 minutes to an hour and I will cram all my work into that period of time. Occasionally I can do a little work while Zane naps as well. And also I can get some things done while Zane plays. This is especially true of the days Paul is in the office. Zane likes Paul and will play contentedly with him, and Paul doesn't seem to mind the "baby-sitting" he does for us. I think he misses his own son quite a bit.
Sunday is our day off as usual. We will go down and see that horse. Then we will probably go to that state park again. I really want to spend my check this week and buy a new camcorder, but I am going to try instead to use it to start paying off my minimal credit card debt. That would for sure be the smarter choice. I don't know.
I feel somewhat bummed tonight. I had bought some movies on Ebay and they came today and we watched the Ghostbusters tonight. Pretty funny stuff.
The truth is, I want things to change, but change is too hard to do. I just want the fall to come. Now!
