My little stud muffin

We actually were ready for church this morning about 30 minutes early (which never happens,) so I took Jackson outside to take a couple pictures. He is getting so big. He really thought he was something all dressed up, especially with his tie on.

Busy Friday

This morning I had a continuing education class at Wake AHEC. It was sooo good! Usually I doodle or read a magazine or text constantly in these classes, but I was so interested in this class. It was about "Meth Mouth" and how HPV can lead to oral cancer. Did yall know that 95% of all cervical cancer is caused by STD's??? I was shocked at this fact.

After my class, I went to crabtree. I didn't hardly know what to do with 3 hours at a mall all by myself. It seemed really weird! And do you know that in the whole entire mall I couldn't find a single pair of heels that were exactly what I was looking for...

After that I stopped in Clayton on the way home to see my friend Paula. She had a little boy, Jayden, on New Year's Eve. He is so cute and teeny! It was so good to see them both. I came straight home and announced that I was getting pregnant. That is until tomorrow when Jackson is buckwild and I say I am never having another one!

One Heck of a week

Ok, so before I scalped my child's head the other night, I got home and Ritchie's mom was leaving to go to greenville. She said she had taken some pork chops out and they were in the sink, could I cook them? I said "Sure!" So after she left, I called Ritchie in a panic. Doesn't she know I can't cook?? So I asked him what to do with them. He said to cook them on the grill. I proceded to inform him that I have no idea how to even light the grill and that there was a freakin foot of snow outside. His next piece of advice was to fry them. How hard could that be right?? That's what I thought

So Jackson helped me and we covered them with flour, well as soon as I put them in the frying pan the flour kind of like dissolved, but we ate them anyway. They had a kinda sweet taste to them. Like I had put some kind of sweet sauce on them or something. Anyway, the next morning on the way to work, Ritchie called me. He said "You are the dumbest person I have ever met" and he was dying laughing. He asked me if I had used the container that was still out on the counter and I told him yes. He said "The reason they were so sweet, is because you coated them with powdered sugar!" Can yall believe I am really this bad at cooking? I mean really. I think I am going to leave it all to him like always!

A major Boo Boo

Tonight while we were eating dinner, Ritchie's dad was talking about Jackson's hair and how long it was. He said he looked like Eddie Munster with his long sideburns! Ritchie had said before that I should just cut his hair because last time we got it buzzed pretty short. So I thought, hey why not?? I asked Jackson if he wanted me to cut his hair and he said "Uh-Huh!!" So, I took him upstairs, sat him on a stool and made one streak up the back of his head with Ritchie's clippers. Ritchie wasn't home from work yet, so he couldn't tell me that there is supposed to be a guard on those things?? I mean, I've never cut anybody's hair before! So, I made one streak and BAM! my baby is bald. All that beautiful hair was gone. So here came the tears. Jackson was upset because he thought he had made me cry and all I could say is "What have I done?!?"

I called Ritchie's mom and she doctored it up for me. I couldn't bring myself to touch it anymore after that. So, it looks ok but he is for real a skin-head. Go ahead and tell me what a bad mother I am...
