Last night I totally did that move from Bring it on, you know the one that Whitney had Missy do? What you don't know, come on tell me you didn't LOVE Bring it On. Ok so maybe I am the only one and a little pathetic, but I so did that move. "Front handspring step out, round-off back hand spring step-out, round-off back handspring, full-twisting layout" and I rocked it, way better than Missy ever could have, LOL.
Now why would I execute a move like that, in the bathroom no less? My beautiful, lovely brilliant daughter took a shower, by..her..self! I know a shower no big deal right? Well my little princess has this terrifying fear of water getting into her eyes. Since we had our fabulous trip to the the rockin' Corrales Pool, she has been over it. In her words "hey mom I got my head in the water and now I want to take showers". Uhm, ok, I am very supportive of your decision, and are you sure, really a SHOWER!!
She was a shower pro. I finally had to set the timer just to get her out. It turns out she is also one of those who likes to sport a tune in the shower. She didn't know I was listening but I am still humming along to "Oh yeah I am such a big girl, I got a shower, and I got a bar of soap, and a puff ball, big giiiirl. Oh Yeah!" Look out American Idol here we come.
She informed me that she is gonna take a shower every night and every morning. We'll see if Mamacita can handle that, but hey who's complaining, certainly not me. "Front handspring step out, round-off back hand spring step-out, round-off back handspring, full-twisting layout" Oh YEEEEAHHH! PLGC-out

Sunburn city and other musings.
We are living in Sun Burn City! I think if this well reputed sunscreen says SPF 50 and water proof then it uhm, well it should be. (I did reapply before the stated two hours, and after a dip in the pool) We went to the pool yesterday, completely covered in sunscreen. The water was temperate, BG was playing with friends, and BB was clinging to me for dear life. I was considering getting ready to leave because BB wasn't having any fun and then he says "get in big bathtub?" Meaning he wanted to get back in and try again. He went from don't put me down to, hey you crazy lady can't you see I can do this myself. So we stayed.
We decided to take a break to have some watermelon. I noticed that BG was looking pink. So I dried her off and re-applied the sunscreen. I slathered the three of us once more, but it was already too late. We splashed around for another hour or so and headed home. By the time we settled in for the night the three of us were wincing into our pj's.
This was the first sunburn for both of them and I am feeling like the worst mom on the planet. Yes I made the efforts, but those weren't enough. I imagine that I should be some super mom -da.da.da! Able to block sun-rays in a single bound, able to turn the swimming pool floor into pillows and avoid those nasty scrapes. Alas, I am just mom, yes Caliente too, but mom all the same.
Beyond the sunburns, and scrapes we had an absolute blast. It hits like me like a brick how much I love my family. I woke up today sunburned and bouncy, maybe a bit manic but in a good way. I would totally do anything to move us forward and keep us happy. The superfluous concerns just fade.
On another note, I got a call from my ex-boss. She is in the running for a job in Taos. She said that if she was brought on, she'd want me there with her. Did I mention TAOS! I love Taos, NM. I was there for the first time last week on a car delivery with HD. It was so-freaking-awesome! The air was fresh, it was green, vibrant and artsy. I know It's just me dreaming again, but without dreams... HD has also received a job offer, though not the money he is looking for , so he is entering the negotiations faze.
Whatever happens I am sure it will be interesting. We tend to be a bit bohemian like that. I worry about what an abrupt change will do to the kids, then again. In these last 2 years we have gone from running a Frame Shop and Art Gallery where we could bring the kids to work, to Mommy working and Daddy staying at home, back to Daddy working and Mommy staying at home. My kiddos seem remarkably well adjusted, so maybe I should be less worried about that and excited about the changes in our future.
Well thanks for tuning in, any changes happening in your lives? Have a wonderful weekend! PLGC -out
