So...I have been gone awhile.
FIRST, I didn't feel well...AT ALL.
THEN I sliced my finger and had to get 4 stitches. I can laugh about it now but that night...Ugh. I was home alone with my 8-year-old, Rick was due to get home in 5 hours but the house was still a mess, dishes not done...you know all those things I intended to get that done right before he gets home. With no other adult in the house, I had to call my neighbor, Heather, to come take me to the ER and her daughter, Kristen, to please come watch Chase. Thankfully, Heather is that kind of neighbor and they came right over. Ryann was at a movie with the boyfriend on her first "date". Kristen texted Ryann "I'm watching your brother while your mom is at the ER". You know where this is headed... I get a panicked TEXT from Ryann. Jeez, you would think the situation would warrant a phone call-her entire generation hates speaking on the phone!
THEN I went to my sister's and saw the amazing P!NK Truth About Love Tour for the second time. The first time we saw her last spring we bought tickets the day of the show and literally sat at the very top of the venue. Literally, in a folding chair on the edge of the top level. This time
we saw the show FROM THE FRONT ROW...OMG I cannot even put into words what that experience was like. She is such an amazing performer but seeing it up close, seeing every facial expression, every dance move...was just perfection. Karma worked in my favor.... from the last row to the front row.
The woman has some RIPPED abs. Why? Because she does this while she sings
We were so close I actually couldn't get a good photo. Through the entire show she is LIVE singing while performing circus tricks. It is insane and yet she sounds AMAZING.
THEN my daughter, Ryann, had her first winter formal and I was busy with shopping for dresses, getting nails done, and thanks to my friend Brandin and the wedding-for-free-hair deal, Ryann had GORGEOUS hair for the dance.
THEN our power went out for 5 days this last week. Hard to craft when it is 50 degrees in the house and no lights. After freezing the first night and next afternoon, I packed up the kids and we ended up staying at a hotel for 3 nights. Rick was...conveniently...flying a FedEx jet all over the country so he missed the fun.
I came home Thursday to power and had to immediately empty the fridge and freezer right into trash bags...
...the only positive that can be had after a power outage...a clean freezer.
Whew... you are all caught up. Oh, one more thing. This text is from my 8-year-old Chase. It still cracks me up. The picture is Ryann and her boyfriend. It was his first visit to the house and my sister wanted a picture so I told Chase to sneak down and get it. He grabbed his iPad Mini and snapped this...she never knew. A month plater he send me this text....

Part of her opening number.

The kid cracks me up.
Hope your day is filled with Sunshine and GLITTER.
Come back tomorrow for my 12 Tags of 2013 November Edition.
Glad to have you back, what an ordeal! K
