What a Day

I can already tell that today is going to be one of those days. Both of The Littles have been in time out for various reasons for most of the morning. It's not looking like Bri's orthodontist appointment will be a very pleasant experience.

I just had an interesting conversation with Olivia. She told me she needed make up to be beautiful. I asked her if make up makes you beautiful. She said, "yes." I told her you don't need make up to be pretty or beautiful. It makes me sad that girls are being raised to think they are not beautiful the way they are. What's wrong with the face God gave you? I wonder what Bri thinks about this. I will talk to her about it in the car this afternoon. I always make sure to tell her she looks beautiful, cute or pretty everyday, no matter if she has on her pj's or is dressed up.

My mom is bringing my uncle to a doctor's appointment in Charlotte this afternoon. He will find out today if anything can be done about the blockage in his liver. I will post an update here as soon as I hear something.

I have started running on the treadmill again. Not to train for anything, just running at my pace and as long as I can stand it. It also is helping to break the monotany that sometimes happens when I am on there walking.
