Lately

I haven't posted in a while...I havent been feeling good and I'm either busy with Tyson or sleeping! But here are a few things that have happened lately.
I was asked to run a table at a career night, one of the Young Women in our ward was putting on for a Personal Progress Project. It was a lot of fun and the girls seem to really be interested in what I had to say. Some just had silly questions like, "what is this thing on my face!" Which I am happy to help with. But for the most part they hadn't heard of the things I did for a career and found it interesting..maybe a little gross too!!! It made me miss work for about 20 minutes until I came home and found my handsome husband sitting alone on the couch waiting for me and my beautiful boy sound asleep in his bed and I remembered how much I love staying home to be a wife and mother and wouldnt change it for the world!
Tyson has recently discovered tantrum throwing, going limp when you try to pick him up and screaming when he doesnt get what he wants. Its not too fun, especially when it happens in public or at the park when everyone is staring at you. I'm not sure exactly how to handle it in public, Im sure I'll figure it out though. There was a little boy around 3 or 4 at story time that was not listening to his mother and she loudly put him into time out in the same small room where story time is held. The little boy is screaming at the top of his lungs while she is yelling at him to shut up. No one was paying attention to the story anymore let alone could hear it. Anyways the moral of this story is that I know well enough to remove Tyson from the room or area where people are, to take action!
Saturday night we were getting Tyson ready for bed and while running, trying to get away from getting his jammies on, he slipped on the tile in our entry way and landed face first. His mouth instantly filled with blood and I just knew we would be heading to the ER. Kurt instantly sprang into action and got a washcloth to clean his mouth out so we knew if we needed to go. After fighting Tyson for a little while we could see that his tooth cut/scraped his lip all the way up to the outside of his upper lip. It stopped bleeding after 10 minutes or so and we didnt have to go get stitches! THANK GOODNESS! But for the rest of the night and the next morning he couldn't stop touching it. I bet it felt wierd cuz it was pretty fat! It has healed quickly and he seems to have forgotten about it now.
I got my haircut on Saturday. I have been trying to grow it back out but it needed a trim and a change of style for it to grow. I was so excited and told Kurt that everytime I get excited to have my hair done the lady always calls and cancels but luckily that didnt happen. Instead I got there, explained to her what I needed. And then left the chair...sad. I felt like a hillbilly with a mullet. NO- actually my Mom has this punk rocker wig she always use to wear for halloween and THAT is how I felt it looked. The hairstylist gave me very short, choppy layers in the back and chopped my bangs off above my eyebrows. I was not happy. When I went out to meet Kurt, he wasnt there and wouldnt answer his phone. Finally he called back and was still at Wal-mart. Normally that would have been fine, no big deal I would just enjoy the time to myself and go for a walk while he came to get me. But I felt so self conscience about my hair I was very mad at him. I didnt get a good look at my hair before I left so i wasnt sure EXACTLY waht it looked like. All I could image was this girl walking up and down the sidewalks with this punk rocker wig on! People probably thought I was crazy. Then when Kurt got there to pick me up, he doesnt say a thing about my hair which is a bad sign! Usually he'll say oh let me see, oh it looks good. But he just pretended I didnt just get a haircut, which made me feel even more self conscience. I mean I want my husband to think I am attractive, what wife doesnt. Anyways I decided it was time to get rid of my highlights today and dyed my hair which came out a lot darker than I had planned but much to my suprise my horrible haircut didnt look as bad as it did with the highlights. I'm quite a bit happier now and can smile while I do my hair instead of aggressively comb it into a ponytail for the next month while it grows out!
Well those are a few things going on lately! There are a few more but I'll wait til next time for those!
