Once again we've rounded the curve out of the work week, into the weekend. It's been 2 full weeks of work in the daycare, but I've really enjoyed it. I think Matthew is really enjoying having Mommy there. I would say the weekend would be totally awesome because Phil is home for the first time in 3 weeks, but one of my daycare co-workers went home to find her husband dead at their house today. They are an older couple, but it was still pretty shocking for us. (It happens to be Matthew's friend Amanda's grandpa. So we feel sorry for the family's lost. Matthew and I'll be helping to hold down the daycare fort by working full-time hours next week. Life is just such a fragile, fleeting thing isn't it?
Well, now that I have that out of my system on to more cheerful things. I was able to get outside and dig up some plants and move them to new locations. I still have more to move, but I'm still thinking out I want to do it. I have some bulbs I need to dig up from my Grandmom's and I need to thin her irises. My "oriental" irises are really starting to come up. I think I might end up with at least 8 sprouts now. I'm so ready to get the rest of my orders in! Next spring will be such a surprise with all the new stuff planted.
Yesterday we also went over to my old boss's house for supper. Matthew has decided that he is family and helped himself to a Capri Sun out of her fridge. Nice. I told him that he needed to ask first and she was excited that he was so smart and observant that he knew exactly where they were.
Today I got a new haircut, and true to form, not a single person noticed. I expect people at the school to notice in about a month. That's the way it works for me. Always has!

Yeah. We plan, and see "mileposts" of life out there ahead of us, but those mileposts are illusionary--we may get to them and may not.
You know its a good haircut when it doesn't scream "Haircut"! Kim
Yes, this is true, but when one didn't have bangs and now one does you'd think it'd still be obvious!
I think that your remarks in this edition of your blog highlight two things: 1. Live life fully and intentionally on a daily basis, and 2. Some people are not very observant.
I agree with Kim that good hair maintenance is when it doesn't show up as a drastic change--like the before and after the time I forgot to make a timely appointment for my hair color!
Back to my #2 point about observation--once, back when I was a first year teacher I wore a blonde wig to our end of year dinner just for fun. (I am a brunette.) One of my coworkers turned to another and said, "Who is that?" The other said, "Beth, of course--why?" One couldn't see past the change in hair color, and the other didn't even see the color change!!! Therefore, bangs might not be on some people's radar! Let's just hope I recognize you when I next see you!!!
I think you will. :)
Speaking as one of the people that never recognizes when you get a new haircut-
"It looks great and I love it"
And thanks for telling me because you know that whenever I get to see you again, I'm not likely to notice because my mind is "crazy" with other observations......
