The Haircut                 

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.   His father said he'd make a deal with his son: 'You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Scriptures, and get your hair cut.  Then we'll talk about the car.'   After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Scriptures, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut.  The boy said, 'You know, Dad , I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair ~ ~ ~ and there's even strong  evidence that Jesus had long hair.'    

You're going to love the Dad's reply: 

'Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?'

And so it begins...

The baby's room has been a major stopping point for me lately.  I just can't seem to get my nest on!  Well not any more!  As some of you know we had mold growing in that room.  I was super upset and demanded the invader be neutralized immediately!  After cutting out the affected area, fixing the leak, drying it out, sterilizing it, mudding, taping, texturing, and priming we had a new wall and could start putting the baby's room together.  After all of Jesse's hard work I got to pick out the paint and get going.  So I picked out the paint, got the rollers, taped the trim and.... just couldn't get started.  I have been discouraged about my house lately.  I haven't been able to do any projects because we have been so busy with everything else.  HOW am I suppose to get anything done?
Yesterday that all changed.  Jesse had started painting the higher parts of the room about a week ago and yesterday I entered Charlie's barren domain and knocked out the whole thing.  I got the base color done and now get to tape stripes so we can diversify his room with a complimentary color.  I also got little jungle animal wall stickers to put around his room.  Next I raided craigslist and found some shelves that are just the right hight for $10.  We picked those up today.  Ollie has been so good about letting me work!  Tomorrow I tape the stripes and paint the dresser if I have time.  Don't worry, pictures will be posted once the project is complete:)
