Today has been such a blessing. It didn’t start out that way…it started out with dog vomit. For some reason, this stinkin’ dog doesn’t throw up on the wood floors that cover 80% of our house, he instead chooses to vomit on my Pottery Barn rug. Dumb dog!

Anyway, after getting my Friday treat, I was much better. (Thank you, my love!) After eating my healthy breakfast, I was having a hard time getting motivated to go to the gym, but I LOVE ZUMBA, and I decided I needed to make myself go. Zumba is by far my most favorite workout ever! I’m not an exerciser, so if I can dance, jump, and shake (and pretend like I’m in high school again) then that’s the kind of workout for me.
.
After Zumba, I came home to feed the maniacs and I was still dancing. I typically listen to Praise and Worship music or children’s songs, but I have recently gotten hooked on Adele, and my fav song of hers is “Rolling in the Deep.” I was dancing my heart out in the middle of our kitchen to this song, and I’m pretty sure I could have rivaled anyone on So You Think You Can Dance. My girls were just giggling then they decided to join me. Oh, what a fun moment!
Side note: last year for Mother’s Day, Preston’s teachers had him answer questions about me. For the question, “My mama is great at__________” his answer was “dancing in the kitchen.” Haha! However, his answer for “My mama weighs__________” was “1,015 pounds,” and he told me he was the only one in the class that knew his mama’s real weight…so I’m not sure if you should totally trust his answers.
.
Ok, so I digressed.

After dancing with my girls, I took them to AnnaLeigh’s bedroom to change her diaper and I laid down on the floor for a few seconds. I had my back on the floor, knees bent, feet on the ground. After about 1 minute of peace, I hear this little voice say, “You poo-poo, mama” and before I know it she has a cold, wet wipe wiping me (I still had workout clothes on) and she slipped a diaper under me, much like what she did to Sam earlier this week. I just laughed and told her I didn’t need my diaper changed, and before I got off the ground, this was coming at my face.
“You have booga. I need suck you nose out. Be still, mama.” I was squealing as you can imagine, but I managed to snap this blurry pic with my phone before she tortured me. I guess this was payback for all the times I’ve done it to her. She was doing to me what she did to this baby doll a few months ago. Crazy woman!
Speaking of noses. Yesterday I thought Lilly Katherine’s nose was bleeding, so I ran to see if she was ok.
She giggled and said, “Oh, I was just smelling markers.” She must have shoved those things all the way up her nose, because her little nostrils were RED! Again, crummy phone pic. Sorry.
As my friend Leslie say, “Never dull, people! Never dull!”

ANYWAY…
On to my Friday Fav #8
My hair used to be STRAIGHT. When big 90’s hair was in, I couldn’t make my hair curl. I would roll it in 4,000 hot rollers every morning to try to accomplish my goal of big beautiful hair. I would painfully sleep with pink sponge rollers snapped all over my head in hopes of beautiful curl. We all know that sponge rollers don’t produce anything but crazy curl with a big crease where the plastic snap was, but I did it anyway. My mop hair would stay curly until around noon…then it was flat again.
Fast forward. The style is straight hair. Well, God thought it would be funny to give me curly hair now. I finally have the big hair I worked so hard to achieve…20 years too late. With every pregnancy, my hair has gotten curlier, and bigger. Many days I feel like Monica from this Friends episode.
My hair is a curly mess. Several years ago, my friend Jessica told me about this product, and it’s the ONLY thing I will put in my hair.
I love the way Aveda smells, and Aveda Be Curly seems to do the trick for me. It makes my hair hold it’s curl without leaving it crunchy or slimy. They also make “Be Curly” shampoo and conditioner, but I’m too cheap to buy all 3. :) If you have curly hair, give it a try!
.
All in all, this beautiful Friday could be my Friday Fav, and we still have Sonic with friends and a Preston’s baseball game! YAY! :) Have a blessed weekend!
.
Also, I will post a wonderful Easter craft later tonight…I hope. So check back…late tonight.

You have to love those eyes, even in these situations.
