Saturday Soccer Game

Saturday, after arriving at my sister's late in the evening, we got up and headed to T's soccer game. He had a home game, which meant we drove a half hour to the field vs. driving a couple of hours. He played really well, the referree made a bad call and the other team scored off the shot. So, his team lost 0-1. He was great though.

Friday Night

On Friday we were heading up to Sister's place. Mom and Dad had to work, the girls had school and I was lucky enough to not have to work. So I lounged around most of the day, enjoying myself and a quiet morning. I was thinking that since I had tried to get in to get my eyebrows waxed and couldn't, that maybe I had something here at home to help me. I get tired of plucking all the time. It is rather tedious. I remembered that I had some really cool little strips of wax that you just warm between your hands and then you put on the area you want to wax. So I got those out of the drawer and began waxing my eyebrows. Not too bad on the right side, could be worse, let me do a little more here, maybe there. Left side, oh, that is not enough, I definitely need more on that side. Let me do just a little more here, ouch! I think I removed a few layers of skin on that one. I look in the mirror and to my dismay, I removed more than a few hairs on my eyebrows. My left eyebrow is now polka dotted and my right is much shorter than it really should be. Well, I can't bring them back, maybe I can get my mustache! OK, that went much better, but I still have some wax on my eyebrows, how do I get that off? I ask my sister, who has two friends who are hair dresser/professional waxers. She is laughing so hard, I sent her a picture via my cell phone, then I emailed her some. They were pretty bad. She was laughing so hard she couldn't even talk to me. I have since deleted those pictures, so no, you can't see them. I then had to have them repaired on Saturday. She laughed a little, but not so much that she couldn't try to make them better. So if you look realllllllly hard, you will be able to see I had to paint some on. It's only temporary, right? Well, except for the missing skin and the large blood blister on the left, maybe the hair will grow back?????

This weekend...

So, my sweet little niece "Curly Sue" turned 9! on the 28th. We, Nana, Papa, Bugg, Peanut, and I; are heading up to see her this weekend. Tonight after Nana gets off work we will leave. T-Rex has a soccer game tomorrow morning and Curly has a bowling party in the afternoon. We are planning on staying through the SuperBowl with my sis and then heading home on Monday.
Hubs has the extra early shift on Monday, so he is not going to make the trip with us. Bummer, :~(. We will miss him, but we are going to have some fun. So look forward to lots of posts and pictures when we get done with our weekend.

Hope yours is as good as ours will be. :~}

A nice surprise...

I have had a few rough weeks and I was having "one of those days" on Tuesday.

My sweetie brought me a delightful gift to spur me on. I was so surprised I argued with our receptionist, because I have never gotten flowers before!

The Brothers' Grimm~out of order

Peanut is in a drama class at school. It is mid term time and she needed to perform her play for the "public". So the 7th graders performed "The Brother's Grimm~out of Order". It was a spoof. It was rather humorous. You could definitely tell the serious actors from the ones that just wanted to get a grade. It was enjoyable nonetheless. So here are some pictures.
She played Gretel~from Hansel and Gretel.

They were fighting over the fairest in the land....

getting ready for the "BALL"....

not really sure what this frozen pose was for, but it was cute :~}

She is mad at Hansel, cause he is flirting with another girl.

Just an FYI...

...for all my blogging friends, Bugg has started her own blog. If you click on Bugg's blog to the right, here, you will be connected. Enjoy! Don't forget to leave her a comment so she knows you stopped by.

this week

This week has been an adventure. An adventure I am not sure that I want to repeat. Tuesday, Peanut had a fundraising meeting for Costa Rica, so I took her. Hubs took Bugg to vb practice. When she got home from practice she had received some threatening text messages from a certain kid. We were concerned, it not only threatened her, but her dad and the family. We were unsure really how to deal with this, obviously prayer. That always works, but what else? Do we sit with our hands held and do nothing or do we act. I let a few people know of this so they could pray. My dear sister, Kelly Gay, works for the Sheriff's office, so she was able to receive the messages and tell us that this is a reportable crime. We made a report, the officer talked to the kid and we haven't had smooth sailing, but yet we have. God has been so good. He has given us such peace. Our outpouring of love from our friends has been insurmountable. The people willing to help us with picking the girls up from school and just praying with us, has been inspiring. We know that it isn't the number of friends that we have, it is the quality, and let me tell you, they have been the best. Our lives are peaceful because of the God of Peace. We aren't trying to live in fear, but we know that we are being cautious and that there are a few people who "have our backs". It is good. It is a roller coaster ride, that I didn't really enjoy, but one I can definitely learn from. Keep us in your prayers.
