Yesterday I was not in a very productive mood. After reading to Ammon and Clarissa, I retreated while Mary took over and played with them. She is such a sweet sister to Clarissa. She calls her “Clawissy!” and leads her all around the house by the hand, giggling as she takes her up the stairs or to the back yard.
I spent a lot of time reading this article and watching the video in the article. These made me laugh to tears almost every time. Naomi Campbell, a super model, tells all about her tricks for traveling. I just compared her mode of browsing duty free, sanitizing, hydrating, and strolling everywhere in silk pajamas to my harried, crazy attempts to go places with my kids. Ammon is always trying to run away or find the nearest most hazardous thing to do, Clarissa is now trying to follow his example, and the girls love to whine. I am zoned out, snappy, or just harried out of my mind. It is SUCH a contrast to Naomi Campbell!
In the evening we went out to do errands and got started on dinner late. The kids helped press tortillas for the chicken fajitas I made. They loved making tortillas, and Lydia was better at cooking them than I was.
Afterward I let the girls watch my favorite YouTube channel, Cute Girl Hairstyles, and Lydia practiced hairstyles on Mary. I want them to be good at doing hair. I don’t feel good at hair at all and I am 36!!! It feels a little late to learn, but that’s probably not true.
