So it begins

November 17, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

It’s 8am Saturday morning. Scott’s at work and the girls spent the night with MIL.

And so the cleaning begins.

Somebody crank the music. I need to wake up first.

I think the really bad before picture from my really bad cell phone camera helps make the after look oh so much better than it is. You can see I didn’t lose much length on the bottom but my layers around the crown/face are much, much shorter. I’m so close to not posting this before picture because it’s just so bad, but oh well…

Before:

* picture removed. can. not. handle it.*

Lullabies

Well, not exactly lullabies but I decided to record myself singing the hymns/praise songs I sing to the girls at night. I’m hoping they might like that in the future or maybe I’ll even make a DVD of it for them now. Both girls usually settle down and almost instantly fall asleep when I take the time to sing them through. No editing and first shot at it so don’t be cruel on the quality of my voice if you comment, I don’t take criticism well ;).

Emma’s favorite by far…Agnus Dei

One of my favorite praise songs ever… Sanctuary

And a classic… Amazing Grace

I think I watch too much tv

November 8, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

If dreams mean anything, I think what I took from last night’s dream is that I work too much and I watch tv WAY too much.

I wish I had written down exactly what happened when I woke up because there were so many more details and a cohesive storyline but this is what I do remember:

Making out with Jim from The Office. I seem to remember something about a car (viewers of Gossip Girl, you may remember Serena talking about making out in a car in last night’s episode)
Small storyline of me being invited to a nude work party at someone’s house. And I was dating a guy I work with (as in someone I actually work with). I remember hugging him in the garage (?) and then going in his house where his wife and child were. I remember passing behind another large female coworker (which was an imaginary coworker – I don’t work with any large women) and she had no clothes on. Once inside, I think I may have had a robe on and was playing with their child and was very friendly with his wife. OMG, I just realized this is like The Shot on VH1 where the people took nude picture and then were walking around in a robe in between shots.
Then there was a second nude work party but I didn’t want to go nude so I went in underwear and a bra and then we all were in a yard sitting in a circle of lawn chairs. I was in my bra/underwear and everyone else was in matching navy blue short and white Dunder Mifflin (!) polo shirts. My manager (fictitious) was talking about what a bad job I was doing and I had let a request from a customer go without completing it and another coworker spoke up and said, no that should have been closed. (the closing of a ticket came from a conference call yesterday at work).

That’s all I remember and people, my brain is being fried by The Office, The Shot, Gossip Girl and too much work!

Back to the office tomorrow

For the third time in about a week, I’m going into the office to work tomorrow. No access to this site while I’m there :(.

The rest of tonight will be spent watching tv. I may get in a post about The Bachelor before I zonk out. I doubt it though. I’m really tired tonight.

Bad Hair Day

November 5, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

This morning while I was in the shower the girls came in and Lexi was crying about something. I guess I got distracted because when I was combing out my hair today I realized I didn’t wash out my conditioner. I was too lazy to rewash my hair and thought, Oh, it’ll be like one of those leave-in conditioner and my hair will be nice and soft today. Nah, it’s weighted down and sort of greasy more than soft. Nice.
