Bring it on

Our rough and tumble little girl.  She has been sporting this current scratch up the side of her nose.  She leaned over the side of the changing table, I grabbed her shoulder, my hand slipped and my finger nail ran right up the inside of her nose.  She cried for about 20 seconds and was good to go.  She is also sporting about 15 places where her mollescum has been treated, they look like cigarette burns all over her body.  Then finally she is sporting, one scuffed up knee.  When she fell and skinned it, she didn't make a peep, she looked at the concrete, like she didn't understand why it had jumped up and hurt her.  Then when her knee started bleeding, she started playing in the blood.  She is one tough little cookie, I wouldn't want to mess with her.

Where there's a Hadley, there's a way

This little lady has been getting quite a few attitude adjustments lately.  She is 6 going on 16.  Most days she sports more attitude than you could fit in a football stadium (and it's only going to get worse).  One of her punishments was no TV.  However, we didn't take her computer away.  There are several educational sites she loves and it's hard taking educational tools away from her.  But it really didn't come as a surprise to us, when she figured a way around the no TV thing, by finding some of her favorite shows on-line.  Of course this is the same little lady that made it into the Reach Program at her school.  We are pretty proud of her and hope getting her back in school and a routine will be the best attitude adjustment we could order up.

Give the horse some corn

A demonstration if you will.  A demonstration of how a horsey eats corn.  And boy can this horsey ever eat corn.  She goes to town.

This past week has been crazy.  Wayne was out of town at Church Camp.  My Mom and Aunt came up to watch the girls.  Work was extremely busy last week.  Hadley had her final week of swimming lessons and pitched the mother of all fits on my mom.  Despite all her drama, she did learn to swim, YEAH!!!!

Someone got a haircut on Thursday.  She was so sweet.  She just sat in the chair on the booster seat and just looked around wide eyed.  She looks like a big girl with her crop do, growing up so big, so fast.

Random

Our life in bullet points the last few days:

• Hadley has been taking swimming lessons this week.  She is finally swimming on her own and gaining some confidence in the water.  Hopefully, she will continue to grow next week.
• Wayne has ruptured his calf muscle.  He had ruptured the calf muscle in his left leg playing dodge ball with the kids, before school let out.  This time, it is his right leg, he was playing tennis.
• Hadley's new favorite show is WIPEOUT.  She is obsessed with it.  The other night, I was preoccupied with chores and unknowingly let her watch an episode titled "HOTTIES VS. NERDS", not my finest parenting moment.
• When we asked her what a HOTTIE was, she informed us it was a cute girl.  NICE!!!
• It makes me even more concerned about what she told Ellison last week.  We had her dressed up in some cute outfit and as Ellison walked out of her room, Hadley tells her, "work it girl!!!"
• Tonight for dinner Hadley was "feeling Chinese".    I'm pretty sure she will be talking Wayne in to a lunch date tomorrow.
• The only picture I have taken this week, is of Wayne in his hosiery for his ruptured calf, I'll spare you all that picture.
• I have Insomnia!!!!
