Since my last two posts were a little gloomy, I wanted you to know that I really am doing okay. Today was my day in the school so Kate and Henry had to go to daycare. Today is the first day that Henry has NOT cried when I left him. He was nervous and whimpering a little bit but not huge fit like he has done every other time. It's amazing how much better that made my day go.
I took the advice of my 4 year old and wore my confidence through pretty clothes and lots of makeup; my my red sweater and high heeled boots. I flipped my hair out today and decided that I would fake my confidence and let someone else call my bluff. It worked!
(I promise, no more pictures of me for a while!! I just wanted to show you that I'm doing much better with life today. I still hate my bangs!!! and think you can see a little too much of my face but it was nice to not have it hanging in my eyes and when it gets too long I start to feel drug down so this is a good change for me. I know, get over it already, it's just hair! I am, not more hair posts!)

So, on to some other non-sense:
Here's a list of foods my kids refuse to eat:
Zach hates cheese!
Justyn hates eggs, tomatoes, and mushrooms!
Shaelynne hates bread!
Alexys hates chicken and other hard to chew meats!
Kathryn hates chocolate!
Henry prefers to not eat anything! He still only likes to have drinks!
Ken hates peas, watermelon, and artichokes!
I hate hot cereal and cooked apples!
I am mean and I don't cater to the likes and dislikes of my children. Can you see why? What would I cook? These are the meals that can be entirely devoured by one child alone.
Zach loves stroganoff with rice!
Justyn loves pizza!
Shaelynne loves chicken and rice!
Alexys loves hoagies!
Kathryn loves...I don't know!
Henry loves pancakes!
Ken loves ribs!
I love french fries!
At least there's enough of us that we can rotate the meals around so that each child gets totally full at least once a week.

I totally know how you feel when you dont like your hair cut. Its wierd how it totally changes your mood your personality and just everything. Lol thats why my sister hates to do my hair, it is not like she does a bad job but I am super picky and it takes me a while to get use to new hair styles. I do have to say though I really like your hair flipped up! I think it is very pretty!
Okay. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with a child whose diet consists mostly of liquid. I cannot get Carson to eat much of anything. It's been extremely frustrating. He will eat candy though. Great.
Haha! Okay that made me laugh! I needed it after the cry! I love the faked confidence! That is cute! I'm going to have to borrow that! My jeans still don't fit and my baby is already a year! I like your hair flipped out! It is sassy! :-)
AND once again, thank you for making me feel like I am not alone in this crazy world of parenting! My kids are getting better about what they eat, but it seems like I can't have even once peacful dinner without someone complaining about what they don't like. I got so frustrated one night that I made a new rule. If they complain they have to eat it all. If they don't say anything negative or make any yucky faces, they just have to taste it. I don't care if it is a single pea. Just a taste, but if I hear any grumbling, they have to eat all of it. They always think it is funny whenthey taste something they think they are going to hate and they really like it. I tried to tell them that their taste buds change as they grow, and what they didn't like last week, may be their new favorite this week. I just made that up, but it seems to work. It takes the stubborness out of it.
I think you look really cute in this picture! I love how honest your posts are! Sometimes it is easy to feel like I am the only one who has a dirty house, or yells at my kids, etc.... YOUR THE BEST! I wanted to tell you that issue with my kids that I was dealing with last time we talked on the phone turned out good for us and even opened a door of a situation that will possibly save heartache in the future. The Lord works in ways that we don't always understand but I am greatful for HIM and his gentle guidance! LUV YA
