Useful Information

No matter how hard you try to get her to comb her hair, she won't - but she'll let someone else curl and crimp it at a party.
On the other hand, check out what 14 year old girls do at parties when there aren't any guys around.

And most importantly, if you aren't looking at someone and they lick your elbow, you won't feel it.

You're trying to lick you elbow right now, aren't you?

    She looks so cute. Mine won't let me do her hair very much anymore either.

    Um I knew you couldn't feel it when you pinch your elbow - never knew about the licking. I wonder if someone has ever licked my elbow and I didn't know. How would I know? :0)

    Since your daughter iss such a mini-Nancy and she is rocking this fetching look, now you know you'll look good in it too.

    Also - why are my elbows moist?

    Gross! Makayla came home last night and told me about your teenager licking Makayla's elbow and all the other girls licking elbows. I didn't believe her so I had to try it myself with Cameron - you so can feel it! I think girls are just silly.

    I had a friend in high school that was obsessed with licking elbows. I stupidly told my nieces about it a few months ago.

    I immediately regretted that.

The Most Dreaded Words

 Everybody knows that Christmas is about keeping the Santa Secret and pleasing your children. Therefore, the most dreaded words are uttered on Christmas Eve. "I changed my mind, I want a [pony, scooter, bike, Red Rider BB gun]" A close second place winner is, "Can I have a New Year's Eve party?" Then, "Me, too?"

Too Sick to be Sick

I am sick.  Really and truly sick.  I even took a sick day and felt no guilt whatsoever that maybe I wasn't sick enough to have a "sick day."  Because I am.  My 5 year old was sick, too so I took him to the doctor.  I refuse to acknowledge that I'm sick because I don't get sick.  So with absolute glee, my little boy climbed up onto the table, stuck out his tongue and conversed with the doctor.  I heard something about cloudy ears and antibiotics and then I just turned it off. It hurts when sound reaches my eardrums. We drove back home, I turned on the television, brought in the dog, and let the babysitting begin.  I crawled back into bed and swam somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness.  The kids came home from school.  I might have acknowledged them.  I made chicken noodle soup from scratch.  I couldn't even think.  My husband caught me in a sway and asked what he could do.  I grunted some terse instructi...

What We Eat

Check out the good looking crew.  Just to clarify.  I'm the pretty one. There's a little mountain resort in Northern Utah that is invaded every July by this group of people. We are an intimidating bunch. 5 years ago my brother brought his Nepalese bride to the United States.  She lived in a country where she had no expectation to ever drive a car.  She bought her food daily from the market and ate it.  She taught English, although her accent was so strong when she arrived I questioned her grasp of the language.  We tried to be friendly and accepting.  We ended up scaring the daylights out of her. She thought we were crazy.  Her words, not mine. Although I think she tolerated me a little better than the others because I had the brand new fair-haired baby that she continued to steal.  She wanted a blond haired, blue eyed baby and wondered what her chances were now that she married an American. We take turns cooking for the family dinners. ...
