Irritation to Smiles, The happenings of today.

I took Ellis to get his hair cut today, to a very male barber shop. I walked in with my two wild children, and disturbed the manly atmosphere of the place. I had to go there, they cut Ellis' hair the best, and I am very picky. I sat in the corner with the kids in hopes not to ruin the vibe. They were chatting it up, blah blah blah, and somehow got to where it was better for a woman to stay at home for economical reasons. Something along the lines that she would have to make $110,000 to justify working after taxes and child care. I found that irritating.  Either way you look at it, that could be taken the wrong way by me, the mother sitting there listening to them talk.I am pretty obviously no longer a career woman when I show up somewhere on a Monday morning at 9am in a t-shirt and pony tail, but what if I was on vacation that week. What if I worked and made 35k a year, how would that make me feel. That my career is not justified because of how much I make.That I am not doing anybody a service by working. Where they trying to give me some backhanded props? Good for me staying home. Seriously.  Perhaps I should have brought them a pie. Ellis' hair looks good anyway.



What else today. I got up this morning, morning glory that I am, and went to fix some coffee. We had none. Bad husband. Put a roast on, went to get Ellis' hair cut, went to grocery, bought some coffee.

The roast after 3 hrs.

Roast after 7 hrs, yummy.

Cleaned the bathrooms.



Started potty training sis, she went 3 hrs without an accident, and loved her panties.
Played farm with sis.



Made fresh Pico de Gallo




Made guacamole, cleaned some more.

Then I got to take a dear friend dinner, and meet her new baby. That was the best point of the day. There is something sweet about a little newborn. It can't help but to make you smile, and make an alright day a wonderful one.

The end

    A few notes:
    1. Shame on the men at the barber shop. To each their own.
    2. I need to clean my bathrooms. Jackson's aim is less than perfect.
    3. Yay, for sis.
    4.Pioneer Woman pico? Made her roast. Pretty good, but like my Paula Dean recipe better for roast.
