Zits, Shaving Cream and Hormones

Of all the gifts this boy got for Christmas, I believe his 'shaving kit' was his favorite!

Sent to him from a precious supporting church in Kimberly, AL, Justice was ready for a bath the moment he opened it up. Complete with Transformers shaving cream, lathering brush and razor....he's all set!




My youngest daughter came home from Kindergarten last week with an enormous envelope full of all her drawings from the first half of the school year. She very proudly told us about each one as I pulled them out of the envelope and all of us "oooohh'd and awww'd". She pulled this one out and we all just sort of stared....

Then she said very excitedly, "It YOU Mama....it's you!"

She wanted me to be proud. After all, she DID make me a queen.



She said those big orange spots are freckles. My dermatologist says they're as a result of hormone imbalance.

When my 3rd grader's classmates are telling her..."So what...you're mama has zits!" ----It's time to see a doctor. After the birth of my fifth child, and only son, my hormones went haywire. It wasn't until he came along that at times I questioned my sanity. One man in my life was plenty. But this smaller version of his daddy, sure is a sweetie and worth every temper tantrum and mama fit I throw. I blame it all on the hormones now. It's nice to have an escape.

But look at this other picture Trinity drew. This must have been a clear skin day, cause I'm "freckle" free. I'm also sporting a pink, frizzy hairdo which I strangely like.



This little elf footed family is a pretty one...even if the daddy only has 5 hairs on his head.
