An Easter Slump?!?

I think I am in an Easter slump...I just don't have that much going on. I would love to say I have something really exciting to write, but the most exciting thing I have done is order 101 Dalmations and the Little Mermaid from the Disney Movie Club! Miner is planning a "boys only" weekend to St. George, and I have to admit, I am totally jealous! I think I need a "girls only" weekend! Let me know if there are any takers out there.

Rose and I took our kids to the Target photo center to get some Easter pictures taken...let's just say it was a fiasco! Also, let's say that the girl taking the pictures was entirely unhelpful, and next time I will just go spend the money for Kiddie Kandids! Rose and I were totally wiped out afterward and sweaty!! Kids were all bawling, hungry, and tired, except for Jack he had finished bawling and was just sitting there glassy eyed in a total "I've had it" stupor!! I wish I could say the pictures were so worth it, but after we waited FOREVER, the kids just looked kind of pissed! And quite frankly, so did Rose and I! I just can't understand why, as a mother, you get this unnatural urge to go have your kids pictures taken? But we have all experienced this, because we all have those pictures of us as kids dressed up and posed and looking just plain pissed!! HA HA HA! And I don't know why I expect that this time it will be different, this time they will not make me wait 2 hours, this time the girl behind the camera will be an actual professional, this time the smile will be REAL, and afterward I will be so proud and not sweaty....note to self...this does not occur in the real world.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall...

Well, I have hit an all new low in self-esteem this morning! Mom, if you are reading this you may want to skip it, because I am about to share "too much information." I was looking in the mirror plucking some stray eyebrow hair, when I look down... I have a small mole on the lower left side of my face. Now, I have never really thought about having it removed, because I actually kind of like it. I have always thought of it as my "Cindy Crawford Trademark" if you will...So, I am looking in the mirror and HOLY CRAP there are two long dark hairs growing out of this now disgusting growth on the side of my face!! I immediately begin frantically plucking every hair on my body!! And how long have I been going around with this??? And no one has ever even said anything to me!! I am so horrified. I may never show my face in public again! Now, all I can think about is how gross I am, and that it has to be a sign of aging when what I used to think of as a kind of beauty mark was actually telling me I am a wicked old witch!! How incredibly depressing!

P.S. I am totally having it removed!
