On my Soapbox

Today I went with my mom to get a pedicure cuz she is going on a trip and I just got to benefit from it, I guess one of the benefits of working for her and just being right there when she is going and well, she wants some company. :) Thanks mom!
While we were there I observed a little girl slouched way down in their giant chairs, I could barely see her little face above the armrest. I thought the lady next to her was her mom, nope. That lady got up when she was done and paid and left. This little girl was still there getting her manicure and pedicure. I thought maybe her mom was down at the other end, nope again. Her mom WASN'T THERE!!!! These sweet little Korean women were just taking care of this 5 year old kindergardner. In fact, they walked her over to sit and dry and then she wrecked one of her nails so the lady took her to her station and fixed it and then asked the girl at the front desk to call her mom. Meanwhile this little girl sits in the chairs at the front and just SITS there, yep, by herself. She was still there when we left. I was baffled!!! Who does that!!! SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOUR DAUGHTER! She is just a baby, all by herself at the salon doing big girl things all by herself! Made me very sad!!! I wish I could grab that mom by her neck and tell her that she is going to blink and then her baby will be gone!!! I just think some people do not deserve the sacred and precious responsibility of having babies.
I'll get off my soapbox now!

33!

I had a birthday! It's important for me to post my age because I frequently forget how old I am, maybe it's conveniently.:)
My family was very good to me! Husband and my mom went to the store last night and bought all of the groceries needed for dinner. My sisters came over early (their husbands and my brother were hiking through the Sierras and coming home tonight) and started to prep food. My mom then came and everyone was in the kitchen making food including Jake. :) I got to hold and play with sweet baby Lucy! Brenna came too! and brought me a chocolate cake and flowers. Oh, and see my necklace...my kids made that for me out of shells that they found on the beach! LOVE IT!

See all this yummy food and those beautiful flowers were from my hubby!

See sisters in the kitchen!

Kids under the tramp, LOVE all these kids!



Rossi blew out my candles. :)


Lucy is such a love!




We watched Soul Surfer, again! LOVE that movie!

Thanks family for a great day! Then when everyone left there was a knock at the door and lovely Kerrie and Olivia were standing there with cookies, a book and hugs. :)
