I’m Sad

Politics aside, I don’t care about black or white, republican or democrat, there is something so sad about this to me…I really, really, really, wanted a woman president.

I am Really Scratching My Head Over This One…

I have had the strangest feeling all day today that I just can’t shake! What is it, you ask? I have this overwhelming feeling that I should start modeling again. HUH? Where did that come from? I hung up my shoes and put away my makeup thirteen years ago and I have absolutely NEVER looked back. (I even made our phone number unlisted so that I wouldn’t get calls anymore and so that no one could find me.) I haven’t missed it one bit.

Occasionally I have thought about it, but my thoughts have always been “I wonder what it would be like. Maybe one day…” I even mentioned something about it to Sharon back in January when I was in Houston. That was different, though. I never felt as strongly about it like I feel now. Not even once.

So where is this coming from?

I have been making a list in my mind of the positives and negatives of going back, and the negatives far outweigh the positives. In fact, I can’t even think of ONE positive. Maybe in the deep subconscious of my mind I have thought that I would one day model again. Maybe that deep subconscious thought has somehow worked its way to the conscious part of my brain and now I am consciously putting it to rest with absolutely NO subconscious remnants.

I hope so. I don’t even WANT to do it again. Which is why it has been such a strange day. Strange, strange, strange. I still can’t shake it…even when I think about all that starting up again would entail…head shots, lose 15 pounds (unless I take the plus-size route like my girls suggested!), not to mention having to make trip after trip to Miami with gas over $4 a gallon.

I need to go to bed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really late last Thursday night I felt inspired to bake cookies for my girls. I wanted them to wake up to a special treat on Friday morning.
Only FIVE MORE DAYS…YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My girls LOVE to watch “America’s Next Top Model.” Whenever Neil and I go out, it is inevitable that when I get home and check my camera, there are tons of pictures on there of the girls “posing.” Evidence to me that they played ANTM while we were gone.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to watch it with them. After the winner was announced Adrienne turned to me and said, “Mommy you should model again. This time you could be a plus-size model!” to which Erica responded, “Yeah!”

They were totally serious.

I Don’t Like to Travel, but……..

A lounge chair in the sun by a pool in Hawaii sounds so good right now! I absolutely CANNOT wait for this school year, and all of its transitions, to be OVER! I don’t ever want to endure sixth grade again! Enduring ninth grade again won’t be so bad, because if Erica chooses to audition for Dreyfoos and is fortunate enough to be selected to attend, Adrienne will be there to help her. I have HAD IT with finals: final concerts, final projects, and now final exams.
If I feel burned out, I can only imagine how my kids feel. During the summer when we just lay around and accomplish absolutely nothing all day, I like to look back on these stressful times and remind myself that we deserve to just chill… and watch episode after episode after episode of Gilmore Girls.
