wake up, amy!

I am so tired this morning.  Monday I drank way too much caffeine and was up past 2am.  Last night I took a Unisom and was asleep by 10:15 but was up at 6:30-7ish which is a little early for me.  And now I’m just tired.  With no looming deadlines to meet at work, I have nothing to push me through the day.  Plus this Kenny G playing on my laptop is not helping.  I think I’ll have to switch to my “new” CD mix which includes “Smack That”.  That should wake me up.

Anyway, I really like my hair cut I got yesterday.  Apparently she was trained at the same place as Toni & Guy people do and I did recognize some techniques that my old hair stylist used.  And she seemed to understand how to cut my hair so it didn’t look so stringy.  So I’ll probably go back to her.  She was $45 though so not much of a price cut but she’s extremely close to my house and seems to not be booked solid 24-7 which is a big plus for me since I always tend to book my hair cuts last minute.

So last evening our youth group did an American Idol singing competition thing.  We are going to do it once a month–one winner a month–and then the finalist compete on the final night.  We didn’t have a whole lot of people there. Some were sick, some were at work, some had a bunch of homework.  But it turned out to be lots of fun actually.  I hope we have more participants next time because I think if you got the right people singing and the right people listening, it would be a really, really good time.

So the girls ended up staying with MIL while we were at the church.  We had intended on taking them with us, even taking the laptop and movies for them to indulge in, but they offered to keep them.  So now I’m at work today and MIL usually comes at gets them on Wed afternoon and keeps them through church so now I won’t see my babies until tonight.  They were still asleep when I left this morning :(.  I do enjoy my “breaks” but I always miss them.

 Scott and I are still trying to decide if one or both of us will go to the beach next month with the youth group.  It’s the “Top 15” from our youth group and it’s a really good group of kids and we get along well with the other chaperones going so I’d like to go.  I just have never left the girls for more than a night.  Which I’m sure they’d be fine and I sound like an anal mother but sometimes I get so scared I’m going to start getting my priorities out of order.  I realize I need to be working at the church but I don’t want the needs of the youth group/Sunday School to start outweighing my job as mother and wife.  Hopefully I’ll be sure to recognize that but that’s why I put so much effort into deciding on whether to do things with them.  I mean, is it right to have someone else watch my children so I can go spend the weekend with other people’s children?  I don’t know.  And they don’t really NEED chaperones.  Well, I still have a few weeks to decide so I’ll keep deciding until then.
