So, my friend Marla was inspired to start a blog and I went to check on it today. She’s the mom of two really great boys, so you know she will have some good stories to tell. (I’ve not put her link here as I’ve not asked her permission to yet and didn’t want to just throw her on there without askin’ ya know) Anyway, she had this great pic of them both covered with tattoo markers, which entailed covering one of their hands entirely, completly with marker. I laughed so hard, I got tears. Gotta love those tattoo markers huh? (I know my friends just LOVED when I would bring them out when their kids came over too hehe)
So anyway, I thought I’d update today too 
Our day yesterday started with going to an Easter Egg hunt. Our task as parents was to bring a dozen pre-filled plastic Easter Eggs for each child. Seemed simple enough, right? You go to walmart, pick up a bag of a thousand for 97 cents and come home. Oh wait, I have no walmart, and there were NO plastic eggs to be found on the days I actually ventured out looking for them. What’s a mom to do?
Well, my friend Carla came to the rescue, borrowing some eggs from a teacher friend of hers. The Efam kids used borrowed plastic eggs from the hunt. I had to laugh because as a parent who sucks, I never opened the bag to look at them, AND I filled them in the car on the way there. There were a couple of eggs in there so small that a tootsie roll would barely fit in them lol
As I was laughing about the little eggs with Carla, she posed the question to me “If I’d not gotten them for you, really, what would you have done?” Hmmmmm, what would I have done? Holy cow, I hadn’t thought of that.
Well, the mom in me who sucks really bad wouldn’t have taken the kids to the Easter Egg hunt. The desperate mom would have found a solution, which Carla’s husband pinpointed exactly what I would have come up with….plastic baggies filled with candy. How did he know? lol Can you imagine…”hey kids, hurry, go find the Easter baggies!!” I can just imagine the kids scurrying about the yard looking for and picking up what would look like garbage thrown all over the place, can’t you? hehe I love it!
So, after that, I went and got a haircut…I realized it was about time as my last one was 4 months ago lol I like the way it turned out, however, I was disappointed in the bedhead factor I am so famous for. It almost looked exactly like it did when I went to bed last night. I must have slept well.
While I was getting my hair done, the hubby was in charge of minding the princesses who had just consumed about all of the candy from the hunt on the way from said hunt to the bx……MY girls, hyped up on sugar right before lunch…….. he is a very brave man lol
He took them to the bookstore where they spent almost the entire time looking at the kid magazines, you know, like they do when I take them there lol They get their magazines and DAD sees that the “Bee movie” is now out. $35 later he has that AND their magazines. (sucker)
So, my bill for my hair is rung up. Nothing special, just a wash, cut, dry….$42. I hate spending money on my hair and hubby let me know he could have saved that for us and just shaved my head for free like he does his. I dunno about you, but the prospect of being the “fat bald chick” just doesn’t do anything for me. Maybe it’s just me…who knows.
The fun thing I noticed when I got home was the amount of “new hair” I have. (New hair is the term the stylist used for GREY when I asked her if there was any.) Yep, I’ve got it and it was brazenly obvious when I looked in the mirror at home. So much so, that Mr FlatTop even saw it. (he normally looks at me like I’m retarded when I’m in the mirror complaining about the one or two I find but he doesn’t see….like the chin hairs….)
Now, I’m old, fat and grey. Nice. Thank GOD I can change two of those things lol (and I am thank you very much hehe)
We watched the Bee movie as a family…even the big boy sat with us and laughed at it too. It’s a great family movie if you’ve not seen it and I highly recommend it Walmart should have it for cheap, and since it IS payday and YOU have Walmart not to far (well, most of you) I think you should go get it and watch it as a family today
Our evening ended with hubby and I watching our cat play with her stupid mice toy for 15 minutes. I swear, she is retarded. We get her these little mice from the bx that are made with rabbit hair, they come in a 6 pack for about 3 bucks. We had to laugh as she has gone through about 5 packages of them. Most she has played with tearing off the tail first then ripping the head off the body. They then become a casualty of the vac cleaner as I find them under the couch. The rest, I think, she has hidden in secret kitty locations, which she retrieves them from in the middle of the night, goes to Devin’s door and scratches and meows for him to open up the door and play fetch with her.
We think she’s part dog and have no doubt that if she were an outdoor cat, we would get presents of dead mice and birds on a daily basis.
