"Mom, I HATE my body......"
Yesterday, when the girls and I were at Target…
Mariah was trying on some shoes and then she got real quiet and just sat there on the floor waiting for Savannah and me. I walked up to her and asked, “What’s wrong with my baby girl?” I reached out my hand and she grabbed it and stood up. I hugged her and she began to cry. She’s having a self image problem. She looks at herself in the mirror and hates what she sees. She looks at other girls and wishes she could be like them. Mariah has big legs. Not fat. Just not tooth picks like some of these sticks you see running around. The part that...
The morning after
I woke up this morning, took my shower and started getting ready for work. Then I woke Savannah up for school. She started complaining that it hurt when she swallowed. I thought she was faking sick so she could stay home, but I checked and yep, her tonsils are red and swollen now too. Mine feel like they are on fire still.

(and I still owe him money)
At lunch I went home and got some lemons with salt...
Bragging Rights
Well, hello hello! I've been meaning to post but I got lazy yesterday and couldn't seem to move! lol Okay, so I'll post the other post a little later, right now I just HAVE to brag on my two beautiful and intelligent baby girls. I have to. I mean really, I can't control myself, I'm so dang proud of them! And all you mommies and daddies out there know the feeling. Ok. BOTH my girls made honor-roll. Savannah (my youngest,8) made A and Mariah (my 13 yr old) made A & B. What makes me so proud is that Savannah doesn't just bring home A's but get this, her lowest grade was...
