If you look at my dailybooth picture over there ——–> you can see that I made an attempt to curl my hair today! It never holds it and in fact it’s pretty much flattened by now, but I like it. Angel told me I look tired cause she can see my under eye dark circles. :( That’s okay, cause uh.. SHE SMELLS.

But yeah, I finally bought new shampoo and conditioner yesterday. I’d been using this stuff for a while that makes my hair sooooooooo greasy that I pretty much hated myself, all because my hair felt gross. So there’s only a little bit left in those bottles, and Jeremiah can use it for his hair, lol. The stuff I bought is only like $2.50 a bottle and works WONDERFUL! Herbal Essences – Long Term Relationship.. it’s amazing and I love it. But my hair felt so good this morning I just sat there and curled it and brushed it. I haven’t felt this good and clean in a long time! :P

We already have a Wii but we’ve been thinking about getting a different systems and one that we’ve considered is the ps3 slimline. I’ve always wanted a ps3 and my sister had a playstation growing up that we really enjoyed playing. Granted, right now we don’t have the funds for a new system, but maybe one day. :)

I do like our Wii though, so it’ll be good for now!

As well as my mom’s birthday coming up, we also have a wedding we’re going to in July. I still need to get them a present, as we weren’t able to be in town for the couple’s wedding shower. I was thinking something gag-gifty that they’d still use, like sexy wedding lingerie, haha. They are that kind of couple, that would be slightly embarrassed but laugh and think it was funny. I don’t know, maybe I’ll just buy them a blender, though I’m sure they already have that. :P

I signed up for a YMCA membership yesterday, and today I went in to start my ‘wellness plan’. It consists of talking about my goals, what I’m comfortable with, what classes I’d like to try, and also gives me a workout plan for me to follow when I go into the gym equipment area. Matthew was in childcare maybe 10 minutes when one of the ladies came up to me. “Are you Matthew’s mom?” .. “Yes..” Here’s me thinking.. oh god, he did something horrible, they’re going to ask me to leave.. “Well.. another child.. bit Matthew. On the face. Everyone was playing fine, and the other child approached him and just.. bit him. Their mom is also being notified.. we’ll fill out an incident report.” … okay.. really, on his face? Not his arm, leg, torso region? HIS PRETTY FACE? “Alright.. is he bleeding? Is he crying?” “No, it didn’t break skin. It’s red, I’ll be honest. We’ve put ice on it.” Okay, so I go over there. The other kids mom apparently walked in there very upset with her child, and immediately left while scolding them. I didn’t even get to see the other kid or their mom. They filled out an incident report and had me sign it. Sounds like Matthew was totally the victim and didn’t provoke or anything. I can’t imagine him doing that anyways, but hey, kids can be naughty. I hate to be the mom that says “oh my child would nevvverrrr do that” because you never say never, but he is SUCH a mellow kid and just wants to hug and cuddle and play cute little innocent games. I hope it stays that way forever.. until he’s 40.

As for me, thank God I have life insurance because it’s moments like that which could give me that stroke that takes my life. I mean.. this was Matthew’s first incident like that and I think I kept my cool pretty well. Even my trainer was like “Wow, I’d be way more upset”.. but as I told her “He’s alive, he’s breathing, he’s not crying, he’s okay.” and I try not to over react in those situations because it’ll just teach Matthew to over react, but man I was fuming inside for a little bit there. How dare some kid put some giant red mark on MY beautiful child’s face?! :P
