Broken Table

Why do things always go wrong when your parents/SO/whatever are out of town? My parents were out of town on Saturday night. They went to Nashville to watch a little hockey and be free from me and Gage.

Anyway, me and the little man had a great day alone together. We were out and about all day. We came home with McDonalds in hand to eat. I gave Gage his toy from the kids meal. It happens to be a nerf gun type of thing. One of the the little things shot under the couch.

Naturally, I bend down to find it and when I came up I put my hand on the coffee table to pull myself up. WRONG CHOICE! The coffee table broke in half. The top part went flying. I don't know how I got to my feet but the top part landed on my foot(ouch!). The McDonalds food and drinks went flying all over the beige rug. Horrible, horrible mess and a broken ANTIQUE coffee table.

My parents came home today and the first thing Gage said was "PAPA, MY MOMMY BROKE THE TABLE! PAPA, MY MOMMY BROKE THE TABLE!".

He is such a tattle tale.

Bloggers And Tiaras : Mission 3

The Bloggers and Tiaras is still going on. I am still on my way to win that title. Yeah, probably not going to win but it is still fun. For mission #3 the contestants had to show what their talent was. It could be funny or not funny. Just whatever.

I was stumped. Should I sing for all bloggy world? No, I think I covered that in the last post. Should I...yeah really I couldn't think of anything else.

So, I just went with what I know. That is hair.

So I present me for the first time on video here and not only that but me cutting Gage's hair. It is a talent because he is 2 and can't sit still. In the video though he acted like an angel for the most part. I am training him well. Unfortunately, my battery on my camera died during the haircut so you don't get to see from start to finish. It is still a pretty long video. Enjoy!

Karaoke

One of my goals on my 101 in 1001 days list is to sing karaoke.

Do you ever have something that you want to do really bad but are really scared to do it? Or if the opportunity arises you can make a million excuses to get out of it? Whatever the reason may be you just don't do it. EVER.

Yeah, that is me and doing karaoke.

If anyone knows me they know that I love to sing. I will sing your ear off. In the car, on the phone, at school it doesn't matter you will usually find me singing along to something if there is music playing or sometimes there won't be. For some reason getting up and singing in front of a room full of strangers scares me to death!

There really isn't a whole to do around where I live so if I'm out and about I usually find myself somewhere where there is karaoke going on. I love listening to bad karaoke. Listening to good karaoke is alright, too. The bad stuff is the best. Anyway, I'm around it a lot it seems like. There is my opportunity. Can't do it.

One day, though, one day.

Going On Dates

I don't really have too much to say on the subject of going on dates except that...

I REALLY SUCK AT THEM!

I'm a little rusty. It might take awhile to get use to going on dates.

But in case you were all curious I have been on 3 dates(with 3 different guys. Go Me!) just in the last week or so. Some were disappointing, some were not, some just proved my point even further that men just suck.

The good thing is I'm having quite a bit of fun and I'm getting out of the house. I've lived here since February and I feel like I've been trapped inside this entire time. So even if I suck at dates and kind of rather not go on any atleast it got me to leave my comfort zone. I might retreat back to it soon. I can't promise I'll do this dating thing much longer. I did give it a shot, though.

My Christmas List

I saw Stephanie do this and decided that I must do it, too. It is a nice reminder to enjoy the little things in life especially during a holiday that can get quite crazy.

Here is my Christmas List

Make It Stop

I have been so tired lately. I just want to sleep...for days. I don't want to wake up to a loud alarm clock tomorrow or the next day. I just want to sleep peacefully for however long I want and then get up and start my day.

Being a grown up can really suck sometimes.

I'm in dire need of a lazy day. I don't need a week long vacation. I will just take one day of sleeping in.

Of course, as I'm typing this its 1am. I should probably just start going to bed earlier so I won't be so tired when that annoying alarm clocks goes off.

Bloggers And Tiaras : Mission 1

There are a lot of times where I just don't feel beautiful. I don't have anyone to come home to and hear "Hey beautiful" on the days when I don't feel that beautiful. Some days I am so busy doing other peoples hair that my own hair is messy looking. I need to lose about 15 pounds. Sometimes I'm so tired I have bags and dark circles under my eyes. I could go on and on but I'm not here to beat myself up. I'm not even complaining about it.

My life revolves around a 2 year old who wants to do nothing more than paint with every single color. It gets in my already messy hair. We play with play-doh and it never fails I have it under my fingernails. We bake cakes together and I get batter down the front of clothes every single time. When we see mud puddles there is no question about it we are going to jump in them. We make sand castles in the sandbox. I'm shaking sand off of me for hours. I dive in and play with my son. We get messy on the daily. We have a great time doing it, too.

I once read that beauty is in the heart of the beholder not in the eye of the beholder and I know that is very true. No matter how unattractive and messy I look when my son looks at me with those big blue eyes I know that he thinks I am the most beautiful person in the world.

I know that being a single mom I might not be able to give my son everything in the world. What I can give him is time, attention, and lots of love. Giving him those things I know that I will always be beautiful in his heart. I wouldn't trade it for all the manicures, pedicures, and nice clean clothes in the world.
