Back for more?

I have determined 2 things today: (1) when you're older and your children have grown and gone off on their own,  you forget what it's like to have children.  Just like it's easy to forget how it feels to be poor when you're rich.  And now I've forgotten the other one.  Argh!  My kids have stolen my memory.  I am really racking my brain right now trying to remember what other point I determined I was going to make in this entry.  I was in the kitchen...probably looking for something (else) to eat.  Hmph.  Oh well.  Guess it wasn't a good point after all.  Why is it that I feel so much pressure to make this thing great?  I am most likely the only person going to read it and while I'm a pretty tough critic, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get my jokes.  How sad is that?  I can laugh at my own jokes every time.  I don't think you're supposed to laugh at your own jokes, though.  I'll have to think about that later, I guess.  Right now my husband (the chef - yum) is making something fattening for us to eat to balance out our entirely too healthy dinner.  I'm sure it is going to be delicious and I will hate myself after.  However, I will not hate myself enough to stop laughing at my own jokes.  I will still think I'm a pretty funny girl.  Albeit, plus-sized, but still funny.  Also, I recently colored my own hair (again) and I have to insist that somebody stop me from ever doing that again.  I have absolutely no talent at all in the hair-coloring department.  I was a licensed cosmetologist for 20 years until I couldn't manage to jump through the last batch of hoops laid out before me and had to let it go.  Bleh.  Not that I used it for anything other that going to the professional beauty supply house and getting the good shampoo for cheap.  And don't forget hair color!  I know how to do it.  I just don't seem to have the ability to pre-determine how it will come out.  I've had experiences with it coming out very well to Ronald McDonald red.  That color isn't even attractive on Ronald McDonald.  But I keep on trying to get it right for me.  I got it pretty darn close last time, but didn't have any more of that "good" hair color so I had to kind of guess with the generic stuff from the local beauty supply and it has a fancy greenish tinge but other parts look nice and coppery in the light.  HA!  My daughter said it does indeed have a green tint, but it's a really pretty shade of green.  She's 8.  And very sweet.  Mostly. So now I need to try and undo what I've done and I'd like to get it undone before church on Sunday.  Not gonna happen, but hey.  If you're gonna wish, wish big, right?  And on that note, I think I smell cookies.  

-k.

p.s. My husband just read this and said it doesn't look green.  Good man, indeed.
