GLASS

I heard this song yesterday and it really struck me. I dig it. Loads.






"Glass"
by Thompson Square

Trying to live and love,
With a heart that can't be broken,
Is like trying to see the light with eyes that can't be opened.
Yeah, we both carry baggage,
We picked up on our way, so if you love me do it gently,
And I will do the same.

We may shine, we may shatter,
We may be picking up the pieces here on after,
We are fragile, we are human,
We are shaped by the light we let through us,
We break fast, cause we are glass.
Cause we are glass.

I'll let you look inside me, through the stains and through the cracks,
And in the darkness of this moment,
You see the good and bad.
But try not to judge me, 'cause we've walked down different paths,
But it brought us here together, so I won't take that back.

We may shine, we may shatter,
We may be picking up the pieces here on after,
We are fragile, we are human,
We are shaped by the light we let through us,
We break fast, cause we are glass.

We might be oil and water, this could be a big mistake,
We might burn like gasoline and fire,
It's a chance we'll have to take.

We may shine, we may shatter,
We may be picking up the pieces here on after,
We are fragile, we are human,
And we are shaped by the light we let through us,
We break fast, cause we are glass.
We are glass.

I need a break

And by break I mean I need to soak up a massive amount of sunshine while lying out next to a body of water. If you have a pool, or a lake house, or a boat...consider yourself warned. I maybe be dropping by very soon... :)

In other news, my recap of Monday's Bachelorette was posted at Hey Don't Judge Me yesterday. I have officially renamed this episode: WILL YOU BE MY BABY DADDY? And can I just say, the dumbass parade was marching to their own drum in this episode.

Go forth, read, and swiml in the sea of idiocy.

Hairmageddon 2012

It was a very emotional day. I don't think Rader actually realized how hard cutting his hair would be...he was joking and laughing for the first two cuts, and then broke down into horrible, heart-wrenching tears for the last two cuts. I was a bit torn about how to handle it because I didn't want to cry but when you see your 14 year old mancub breaking down, it's hard not to join him.

Here's a picture play-by-play:



He didn't love his hair at first, but after spending the weekend looking at himself, I think he's totally smitten now.

Happy Memorial Day, USA! Please take the time to thank a service member for his or her dedication to our freedom.

sing it Alice Cooper!

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!

Well, sorta. School is definitely out for Ian, but Rader has 3 more days. We had his Convocation today...and I would like to proudly announce he received the Presidential Scholar Award for maintaining a 3.5 or higher GPA throughout 6th, 7th & 8th grades. this is the only pic I could get that was worth a damn.

Here we are after the ceremony.

All that hair is gonna be gone on Friday. Snipped, clipped and donated to Locks of Love. He's thinking about going hardcore short...as in a buzz cut. My heart can't take the thought of him not having any hair! But it's his to grow and his to cut and not my place to tell him what he can and can't do. Apparently he's supposed to curl it for school tomorrow. His friends are really enjoying this last week of Hairmageddon.

Alrighty then. Tonight is guitar, then tomorrow is the beginning of a very long and awesome weekend. I can't wait for Friday when I'm spending the day with my boys before spending the evening with my guy. I'll have new nails, new toes and new hair...surely that means date night, right?

the best news is...

"The best news is we got 40 frogs in a sack!"

This is a direct quote from my new favorite show, Duck Dynasty.

40 frogs in a sack is the new awesome. How have I missed this show? Holy Crap on a Cracker the awesome is off the charts!

Speaking of awesome, my Bachelorette recap is up over at Hey Don't Judge Me. Let me just tell you, the Douchebaggery does not disappoint. Also there were Muppets on this episode. Like really.

You should pop over there, check it out, make a comment or two, and tell me I'm as awesome as 40 frogs in a sack.



I kinda wanna be a part of their family.

oh happy days

my itty-bitty momma, me, Ian and Rader

I'm a proud momma.

The graduation was standing room only. I ran in front of the stage when Ian's name was called to get a picture. He didn't pause for me to take a good one. While I was there, Rader took a pic of me taking a pic of Ian...I'm the red head in the middle. haha

The weekend was busy and tiring, but wonderful.

ION this week is gonna be awesome. I only work 2.5 days...Rader's 8th Grade Convocation is Wednesday. I have stuff to do on Thursday...and Friday is SPA DAY WITH THE BOYS! (And my niece Taylor who I haven't seen in a couple of years. I totes can't wait to hug her neck) Rader is cutting his hair Friday and donating his mane to Locks of Love. I have a much needed hair appt as well...it's time to amp up my Go-Go Red! and we are all getting pedicures. I'm also gonna get a mani...something I haven't done in over a decade.

hot stuff

Donna Summer died yesterday, taking a little piece of my sparkle with her. She was the inspiration behind my first pair of heels when I was a kid...Hot Pink Candies...
Man I wish I still had those shoes...

In happy fun time news, my Tree Frog graduates from High School tomorrow night. I'm so very proud of you son...
