16th Birthday Photos

My lovely kid #1 has been BEGGING me to take pictures for a while.  I sacrificed an entire hour of my day last Sunday and took her out finally.  We scoped out a few nice locations in Englewood and some run down railroad tracks in Independence.  Much to our dismay, Alyx and A.J. were not pleased with waiting, waiting or waiting.  So, here is what we ended up with....

 

  

Really needs a reality check!

I realized today it's been way to long since I wrote on my blog.  I guess I'm not as much of a blogger as I wanted to be.  I think I'll jump back on this band waggon.  I'm sure the idea of buying a new laptop would help - thank you Thirty-One for giving me a Best Buy gift card.  I promise, once again, to blog more frequently.  So, beware...Sara's on a mission!

So much for being nice!

So, I decided  that since it's 7:45 p.m. and my poor husband is still working I would try to take the trash out.  Not a difficult task, right?  I spent years taking the trash out all by myself like a big girl!  Well, so much for being nice.  As I was taking the very large bag out of the trash can in the garage, I felt a slice ~ a big painful slice in my finger.  Immediately, I'm bleeding like crazy.  Trying not to freak out I run upstairs to run cold water over it.  Not sure why cold water, it just seemed like that was the right thing to do.  A.J. is hoovering over it saying "ewww, mom that needs stitches".  I had to have Sade help me bandage it because there was no way a band-aide was going to work.  Typing is interesting & I'm glad I have a weekend to recover because working will be interesting.  I put a whole new spin in "hunt & peck"
