Black

I colored my hair black and when people see me they say "oh you colored your hair black..." that's it, the end. So what does that mean? You know that sisters are painfully honest so I asked Tracey what that meant. She replied "well I'm just used to seeing you blonde." What does that mean? The thing is that my hair is what it is and to undo BLACK is not going to happen. So my new plan is to smile and pretend my hair is blonde and when someone says "oh you colored your hair black..." I will cleverly reply, "you must be thinking about someone else." Then THeY will be left thinking "what does that mean?" ha ha.

Sittng on my couch

I am sitting on my couch reading blogs and thinking about vacumming. My life is a fine line between struggler and making it through the day without adventure. But I was thinking, that is probably what I am missing is the adventure of struggling. So yesterday I fell off my fine line into strugglerhood. I had to run some errands so I walked outside to my fine looking minivan and tried to start it. Of course, being the struggler that I am, I left the lights on the night before and the battery was dead. dang. Not a problem, I took JR's little 2 wheel drive truck...in the snow... and headed out. My first destination was the hospital to get some blood drawn for my disease of the week. I finally got called in the registration area and the lady said "did you fast for 12 hours?" Oh man! I forgot to fast!
So on to my next destination, the phsychiatrist to pick up some medicine and get a perscription. After I slid through the parking lot barley missing a few cars, I go to the office and the receptionist tells me the doctor just went into an appoinment and will be out in an hour and a half! wow that must have been some appointment. dang. So I leave and head to my final stop, the pharmacy.
The pharmacist saw me walk up and said you must be Kimberly Adams." I thought how amazing that she would remeber me!" But she had just filled a perscription for me. She tells the the cost and I realized I had forgot my debit card! dang dang! I go out to my car and find a check book with one check in it! It is my lucky day! Ya see it all worked out in the end... sort of...I had to go today and get my labs done but every day is a new adventure.

Christmas Time!

It's time to dig out the tree and the decorations...To psych myself up and make it magical for my kids. Kids are the best part of Christmas, they are the innocence that bring out the purity of the holiday. I love looking at the excitement in my kids eyes when they see the lights on the houses or when we decorate the tree. It makes it worth the noise and chaos of Christmas morning when they open their presents and there is paper and toys everywhere. Every year I try to emphasize the Savior's birth as the reason for our celebration and I hope they internalize the sacred nature of the holiday and remember the real reason for our celebration.

Happy Halloween

We had a fun Halloween with cousins and trick-or-treating. Isaac was Indiana Jones, AJ was batman, and Anthony was Dracula. Here are the picturs.
