One Dirty Mother Plucker

I need to stay away from the mall. My husband needs to stop smiling at me slyly and encouraging me to go use my shiny new Angels card. I went to redeem my April coupon for any Signature Cotton bra for $10.00 with any purchase on my card and ended up bringing home another huge pink striped bag of sin. I can't help it people. I can't. They lure you in with a Passbook that has some sort of promotional coupon for every month for six months. Sometimes the item is free with purchase and sometimes it is a pretty nice discount. My point is that I can't just stop with the promotion and one regular purchase. I am going to have to get a freaking job to support my habit. I am an underwear slut.

I am also cancelling The Big Wax. I have read some really scary stories and if having my underarms bleed immediately and then stay red and burn for two days following that waxing is any indication at all of what might happen to my bikini area, I think I will take a little hiatus from the pain thing. Right now I have had enough between all the shit I have gone through and then spending the last few weeks repeatedly being drilled on in the dentist's chair. Maybe in a couple months. I am back to getting my brows waxed regularly though. It is also one of my expensive habits. I plucked them this morning because there were only a few random ones coming back in and I think I can space out my visits to the salon more if I do the odds and ends myself. I hate plucking though. I am such a spoiled girl. Speaking of the whole body hair issue, I have learned that going without shaving for several weeks in preparation for waxing will send me into severe mental breakdown. There is something just so very wrong with feeling that icky.

In other more Motherly less Dirty news, I took the girls to Barnes and Noble while the boy went to work with his dad yesterday. I had several different armloads of workbooks at different points during the visit and ultimately decided that what I really need to do is buy a big box of printer paper and some extra ink cartridges. It seems kind of silly to buy big workbooks for the girls for Preschool/Kindergarten/First Grade when I can just go to any curriculum publishing site and make a list of all of the subjects covered in those books and then find free print outs on the internet and skip the stuff they know and are bored with and customize the whole thing. It just takes a ton of time and a ton of ink. However, I love to do that. I always strive to get away from packaged learning but I never seem to follow through with it. So to make sure they are still working on the skills I purchase the workbooks. I have their best interest in mind by doing that even though I know that it doesn't encourage their creativity or ability to think outside of the normal age/grade level box. Customizing their curriculum to their abilities and personalities has always been my goal. I guess I had better get that paper and ink then.

Well, this has been a diverse update hasn't it?
