Just Drop Us Off

Me: Look at all the cars! Everyone is walking their kids in. I better walk y'all in.

Them: No, mom. Just drop us off.

Me: Are you sure? I feel bad.

Them: We're sure, mom. Just drop us off.

Me: But I feel like such a bad mom. Everyone else is walking their kids in.

Them: We'll be fine, mom. Just drop us off.

Me: Are you sure? You know where you're going? I don't want you to feel like I don't love you because I didn't walk you in and take your picture with your teacher at your desk on your first day of 3rd and 4th grade.

Them: We're sure, mom. We know where our classes are and you took our picture at home. Just drop us off.

Me: But LOOK at all these parents. I should walk you in.

Them: Just drop us off, mom.

Me: Okay, but I better still get the Mom of the Year Award.

Them: You got it mom. Stop the car.

Me: Okay. Have a good day! I love you. Talk when you're supposed to talk, and listen when you're supposed to listen. Go learn something!

Them: (DOOR SLAM)

Me: They don't know how lucky they are that I'm willing to just drop them off.

It's going to be a great year!

Look who turned 41!

Yum! Snickerdoodles!

Having a great day.

I love my co-workers.

And Facebook.

And my House of Shine Shiners.

And the photo below.

And I love the fact that

I have the same

exact haircut today

as I did when I was five!

Hair Trends

The boys and I were discussing the fact that we feel JB has started quite the trend though we know he's not the first to ever have a mohawk.

Last summer he was the only boy for miles that had a mohawk.

Later that fall our friend Jestin was allowed to have his hair cut into a mohawk for the homecoming football game. Color and all.

This summer JB once again got his mohawk.

And so did several other little boys.

I told JB he wasn't original anymore.

"What's another cool haircut?"

"Hmm... I don't know."

I could go bald.






Might not be a great idea for the summer. You might get sunburned. And, when you get older and go bald you'll be mad you were bald all those years you had hair.

OH! I could grow an afro! Those are cool!

You can't grow an afro! You're not African!

Well, Drew does have a point.
