My Son Writing !!Lines?? WHAT?

My kids have this really funny way about them. Since we practically live at the library, they have come accustom to the Internet and playing online games, etc.

Anyway, every single day they come in after school (the library is right next to the school, so they walk, unless it's rainy) and come over to me to show me all the good papers that they have. I have learned that this is their way of throwing me off so they can get on the computer and skip their homework.

This is especially true for LZ. The kid NEVER does his homework. He always has some excuse like I broke my pencil or my hand hurts. Although I praise them for their good work, I noticed (like I said) that they will do that to side track me, make me happy, praise them and somehow "allow" them to go online. Not anymore! I have learned their sneaky little fiasco and have put a stop to it.

LOL...

One day LZ be bops up to me after school and says "guess what Mom, I had to write lines today". I was thinking, "what in the world is this child going to show me. He has this smirk on his face, so what is he up to" lol.

Yeah, lines for sure! It was hilarious. I didn't know whether I wanted to spank his little smartie pants behind or bust out laughing...

I just smiled and said "go do your homework boy".

Yeah look at his "lines". :)LMBO

Me + Mr. Clean + His Magic = Heaven

Oh how I love Mr. Clean, today. You would think that after a year, I would have caught on, but nope. I guess I am old fashioned in a lot of ways, even when it comes to cleaning.

Who hates soap scum? Scrubbing your arms off? Breathing horrible chemically ladened products all put together with the kiddos tugging at your skirt? Me me me!!

Well today I put the scrub brush away and welcomed Mr. Clean with open arms. This is a simple equation, really.

3 minutes of "wiping" + Mr. Clean Magic Eraser = no soap scum. Yes, wiping not scrubbing.

I truly feel sorry to all the grandmas that still have a bottle of bleach attached to their arm. (Maybe that is what's wrong with all of us born from parents of the hippie generation - more than pot fried our brain cells)... lol

NO home (especially with kids) should be without Mr. Clean Magic Erasers! Oh and Proctor and Gamble, I accept Paypal or you can just mail me a check. :)

Beauty Slang Peeves

I guess this comes from my mom and it kinda stuck with me. There are just some things that drive me crazy and not knowing proper beauty slang is one of them.

I hate it when:

She plucks her eyebrows.

lol...

We pluck chickens and worse, ticks off dogs. We don't pluck eye brows. The proper slang for this proceedure is "tweeze". You can either tweeze or wax your eyebrows. You don't pluck them.

I am going to get my hair dyed.

Nope, your hair is dead cells, yes. However, you never dye it. You dye clothing like tie dyed shirts, but we "color" our hair. If you decide to go blonde, it can pass as bleaching your hair. Even though I really don't like that one either, but it will do.

Since I am big on nails and manicures, I want to mention something about them, since I am on this topic. I cannot stand when a woman saws her fingernails. When you "file" your nails, you should move the file in one direction, lift and repeat. Never use a sawing motion, especially if you have weak nails.

When you apply makeup, there is another thing that drives me crazy. When a woman chooses a color for foundation, it should match her skin tone. The best test for this is to apply a little of the color to the base of your thumb on the outside of your hand. This is a part of your body that closely matches the color of your face. If it doesn't blend in, it is not your color. You may need help with this. A lot of places like Dillards or Penneys has beauty consultants who can assist you.

Here are some tips:

Wet hair is NEVER to be brushed (actually recently learned this). Use a comb.
You can apply the conditioner to your dry hair before showering. This helps keep moisture in it.

Another thing is don not let a cosmetologist lie to you by saying that your hair will grow faster when you cut it. This is a lie because hair grows from the roots, not the ends. All hair is made up of is dead cells.
