After itching most of the night I was dragging myself out of bed (nothing like 2 benadryl to drug you to sleep) when I realized Logan had an ortho appointment in 20 minutes. Oh, and it takes at least 10 minutes to get there. Can you say "throw on clothes, put hair in a ponytail (it doesn't matter that it is too short) and brush your teeth. The Orthodontist is a type of dentist you know.
After an hour, I ran home took care of Grandma and started to run my errands.
First stop JoAnns, then Target, then on to Home Depot.
Are you riveted yet?
While at Home Depot ordering a new window for the broken one in Brenn's room (thanks Dakota) I was trying to find the cheapest option and still match the window we already replaced. As I was trying to figure out the 30% tax credit, whether to try to put LowE glass in my basement and things like that the gentleman who works at the other desk was helping by asking questions. While answering and chatting I mentioned that my daughter was going to be 20 and she didn't need tempered glass in her room. He looked me in the eye and said,
"There is no way you have a 20 year old daughter, you only look 26!"
I assured him I was old enough and had a good laugh. I told him I was going to buy the window and he did not need to lay it on so thick. I just laughed, especially when I went to my truck and looked at the mirror!
On to my next errands - Costco. Who by the way was having a special on Cricut cartridges - 3 for $95.00. Hello Mothers day present. As I am trying to decide which 3 the consultant tried to sell me a princess one, I told her my princess was almost 19 and I didn't need that one. She looked and me and said,
"No way!! You look like you are 26!"
This time I was just like "RIGHT!" (sarcastic and all).
Deciding that maybe my SIL Kirsten would like to split this with me I walked away and called her. After chatting and getting the okay I walked back to the table and was dealing with another consultant. Meanwhile, consultant #1 was helping this lady who wanted to cut out something specific and they were having trouble getting it to turn out. Consultant #1 asked me if I could figure it out and I showed them how I would do it.
I picked my cartridges and did a little more shopping and then went to check out. The lady I helped was in front of me and did not have the machine with her. I commented that she decided against it. She told me she just wasn't sure it was in the budget for her business and asked what I do with mine. I showed her the picture of Brenn's present to Heidi and Sam and told her I would look on ebay or craigslist for those people upgrading to the bigger Cricut or maybe she could just find someone to cut it out for her. As she looked at the picture she said,
"Your daughter has a friend who is married?"
I replied, "They are 19."
And she said,
"You don't look old enough to have a daughter that age, you look like you are 26!"
No lie! I came home and snapped a picture with my Blackberry.
Maybe its the pink jacket?

heck I think I'd quit wearing makeup and doing my hair! AWESOME!
That no make up pony tail thing always works in my favor too. It's great fun to watch the looks when I mention I have 8 kids!
You still look like you did when we sat around your kitchen table scrapbooking pictures of our babies playing in the bathtub together.
no make up and my hair tied back and my co workers can't believe I have kids older than them. It's great keep it up you look good.
I think you look great! See...the no makeup thing works! (But maybe, at my age, I will need to add the pink jacket...)
heehee

I think it's because you looked 15 at 26 and we all know about your "secret" botox injections for "headaches."
