This afternoon I sat with my daycare kids looking outside the window and admiring the rain and thunder along with an occasional lighting bolt. Then the rain picked up and so did the wind. Pretty soon the tree next to our daycare flew past the window and at this point I realized this was not a typical storm. This was a a really, really, really bad storm. The hail started to hit the doors and windows and eventually destroyed the back window of my boss’s Kia.
I helped get the kids away from the window and at this point realized that one of the girls that works with us, S, who is Mentally Challenged was no where to be seen. Sometimes she has a hard time comprehending things that would normally seem like common sense to most people. She knew that part of her job was to take out the trash and that was what she was doing. In the Storm. WITH 67 mph WINDS. I ran outside only to find her clinging to the chain linked fence and trying to hold onto the trash can. I grabbed her by the hand and told her to let go of the freaking trash can.
Between running, grabbing the fence and dodging anything that flew towards us we made it back inside. Completly soaked to the bone and shaking. She immediatly started to apologize but all I could think to do was give her a big hug and tell her she was crazy for going outside. She laughed it off and said she was trying to get done with work so she could leave. I reminded her that no one would be leaving in weather like this and I tried to find her a change of clothes. We camped out in the back of the daycare room along with a few parents and kids and waited it out. It didn’t last long, maybe an hour at the most, but there was significant damage to our facility as well as many other places around town.
I guess I can now say I have survived my first Montana Storm. I really hope we don’t have anymore of these any time soon.
I had so much fun. The ceremony itself was amazing, even though I only saw the first five minutes. M decided that she needed to talk, whine and scream during the prayer so I then decided that she needed to do this out in the lobby. Oh the joy of kids, but really? Who can blame her. Have you ever seen a 20 month old sit still for more than five minutes? Yeah, me either.
The reception was fun too. There was great food, dancing and a good group of people. Z and I ended up taking M to a sitter around 8:30 and didn’t get home until about 3 am. I haven’t been out like that in a LONG time. Lets just say that Sunday morning was rough. The bride looked AMAZING. I knew a lot about T’s wedding details but seeing it all come together like it did made me wish I would have done a big wedding. Then again, I really don’t like the whole planning aspect of it all. Anyway we had fun. How was your weekend?

Who will guide me through my next big cleaning purchase? Billy you will be missed.
I know that the death of MJ is terribly sad to the music world but why is it that Farrah Fawcett is not getting the recognition she deserves? I think it is sad that an alleged child molester is stealing the headlines meanwhile a woman who is known as an international sex symbol, an advocate for the National Abuse Hot-line and the head of NUMEROUS charities against Domestic Violence, takes a back seat. Does anyone else think this is a little funky?????
Here are some pictures of my hair using the hair Poufs. Sorry in advance for the flash, I was trying to get out the door to a wedding Rehearsal Dinner, but I wanted to grab a few picts. of my hair so you guys could get an idea of the volume. I have also included a picture of the Hair Poufs!
- Sort of hard to see, but this is the back and the Hair Poufs are at the crown of my head above the bobby pins.

Myself and M or what I lilke to call her these days, "The Princess of Grumpiness
The Hair Puf package comes with four Poufs, a Teasing Comb, directions and a cute little case!
Did this shock the hell out of anyone else? And Farrah Fawcett too? So sad…
Ok, so I tried the hair poufs today from Bombshell Beauty and let me tell you, these things ROCK! They can withstand eight hours of running after kids, jumping, sweat, humidity and anything else and STILL maintain their volume! They are the product of the year people! It’s a simple process:
Shampoo Hair
Tease
Place the Hair Pouf combs into the teased hair and brush it over the combs.
Style. Spray. Done.
Then glow in eight hours ( or more, these things last ALL DAY!) of blessed hair volume. And the best part is they are affordable and they come out easily. I am SO rockin’ the pony tail these days thanks to my Hair Poufs. Check them out: bombshellbeauty.com.

A blogger that I read on a regular basis (I am not going to say who, you will just have to find it on your own) just revealed that she has been having an emotional affair with another man and they have shared a few kisses but that is all. My question to you is this: Is an emotional affair just as bad as a physical one? Maybe even worse? I have never had an affair but I can understand in some ways, why this blogger did. Sometimes a woman just needs more emotionally than what her spouse is giving her and when there is another man willing to provide that lending ear, good advice, small talk, etc. as a woman, we tend to drift towards that. Is an emotional affair just as bad as a physical one?
Did anyone else watch Jon & Kate Plus 8last night? It’s so sad that they are getting separated, especially after 10 years of marriage. It makes me even sadder that everyone and their mother thinks they have a say and/or opinion of why it happened and what Jon and Kate should do to fix it. We don’t live in their home. We don’t know what is really going on between them. Most of us don’t have EIGHT children to raise, and a television show, AND paparazzi at out doorstep 24/7. WE DON”T KNOW ANYTHING. And yet, everyone seems to know what went wrong. I feel sad for them. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be in Kate’s shoes and know that you are going to raise eight kids alone. Or be in Jon’s shoes, at age 32, and basically lose everything you’ve know for the past ten years. Then there are the kids. I come from a family of divorced parents and it’s hard. It’s got to be even harder when everything your parents say and do is on the TV and tabloids.
And I know that there is this perception in our society that if you go on TV you inherently give up any and all rights to privacy, but it’s gotten out of hand. Kate mentioned last night that the show had nothing to do with their decision to separate, but I have to think that it must have contributed in some ways. From what she has said in previous interviews, there are a lot of press interviews, book signings and additional stress’ related to the show and that can’t be easy on a marriage. I can’t imagine how hard this must be for the whole family. And yet, here I sit, typing about their lives on my blog, and waiting for next Monday’s show. I’m not sure if that makes me an accessory to the madness or not……
