Much Ado About Nothing?

Phew! Alexys slept last night and I feel much better for it today. She slept from 9:30 until 9:30, waking up once at 4:15 for her soother and then at 6am to eat. I can handle that. I think it's because I told her last night when she went to bed that Mommy needed to have a good nights sleep. Mind you this napping process hasn't gotten any better today, but that's okay. If I've had a few good hours of sleep I can handle it.

We're having a family day today! Once Jord gets home from the gym we're going shopping to all those great stores in White Rock and then down to the beach. Alexys has never been to the beach so we'll take some pictures and hang out in the sun. I don't know who I'm turning into but I don't mind being in the sun. I still don't like just laying outside and I still really hate being hot, but I feel like if I'm getting a tan it's okay. My burn from Parksville turned into a tan, save for one peeling shoulder (but that's the shoulder that hurt), and I've been smothering "Save the Tan" lotion all over in hopes I can build on it. It makes me feel better to be tan.

Oh, and you may have noticed me wearing my hair curly in the past few weeks. Well, I may have a "mom cut" (thanks Kim) but wearing it straight sure proves just the opposite. I don't like to take the 45 minutes to straighten the bottom (that is still curly), but I can't just wear it down. So I wear it in a ponytail. I've taken pictures to prove my point, because some have said they don't believe that my hair is straight.

Hair down with gel (see my frustration):
How I wear it instead (with a bump into a curly ponytail):
I have, however, noticed that my wispies at the front are a little fuzzy. Maybe my hair only grew in straight WHILE I was preggo, and now it's coming in curly. All I know is that it needs to be 100 percent straight or 100 percent curly. Not in the middle. I'll either get a perm or a chemical straighten. I can't handle 50 percent of each.

Anyways, off to find a place to put Alexys while I shower, seeing as though she's not going to nap before her 12:30 lunch. What do you do with your awake children whilst you shower? I normally shower while she's napping...
