Anger is the Enemy of Instruction...

HAHA! I just saw the commercial with Phil Jackson where he says that to a cranky restaurant owner. You kind of had to be there. I think it's hilarious.

Well, the hoards have retreated back to Vegas. I have two loads of laundry chugging along and the dish washer running. Kitchen has been degunked of thickest. Lamp shade is askew and Rooster lost a pair of underwear and had to go home commando because his others were packed and we couldn't find his.(I think weird Lola might have dragged them off.)  He, Blake and Grandpa went swimming just before they left. I always mourn their going as much as I feared their coming. I'm such a lunatic. We had a fun, frenetic and fruitful visit.

They went to sacrament meeting with us. Then they came home to pack and put noodles in the chicken soup and Rick and I stayed for Sunday school. I had the lesson. Good thing I stayed. We had about 12 people in class--which is about 9 more than we usually have. Also the Stake President came in. Yikes!! I didn't get really nervous but I did get kind of goofy. I'm sure it was OK. If not they will fire me, I guess. Just glad it's all over. I don't do busy very well.

OK, people. I took a picture of my hair. I should have had Rach take one when I was dressed for church, but...Do you know how hectic it is getting 7 people -- 3 who are 6 or younger and two who are 55 or older--ready for church. Ugh! How do some of you big families do it? Anyway, I came home pulled off my dress. Pulled on a t-shirt and faced the fury. After the crowds left I took a nap. So my hair looks bad. And it's hard to take my own picture with my phone. Here are the results:

Oops! Not good.

Cut off half my head and muffed the shot.

This is the best I can do. She put in some highlights (which you can't see well.) Rachel complained because she said Chelsea (my new hairdresser) fixed my hair the cutest she's ever seen it and I am not fixing it that way. I'm doing the best I can, people. So anyway--Just picture it in that mind's eye that I ask you to use often. It's much better. The gray is covered well and though I don't fix it right., at least it doesn't flip. Now be satisfied, ladies. And don't ask for my hair picture again for a while. But I do appreciate your concern. (Or you just wanted a good laugh about my wonderful picture taking talents. Could my nose look any bigger? Nope!)

Great hair! The first picture is very artsy. Action shot!

My little rugrat left after being here all weekend. Between her and my MIL this week I'm beat. I am taking my phone off the hook tomorrow and I'm hosing out the house!

I bet your lessons are the best!

No, I can totally see the highlights and they look great! Glad things have calmed down around your house. Hope you don't find the underwear in any weird places. ;-)

You're a goof! But a loveable one!!!

What the heck? That doesn't even look like your hair. The texture is totally different. It looks really soft and pretty though, I love it and I'm so glad that you are happy with it. Also glad to see you made it through another whirlwind of family matters.

I think you did a fine job taking a pic of your own hair! Trust me, I'm horrible at self portraits. Your hair looks pretty & I agree with the others, you can see the highlights :)

Glad things have calmed down for you. I don't do well with chaos either :)

Haha I like the comment by your friend about the 69mph convertible! Seriously, I have never seen your hair cut and style look better then it did when you came home, so I'm not worried. You are in good hands down there! I'm excited you found a style that's working good!

I love your new doo - It really suits your face shape - very cute!!

Glad you had a fun time with the family - and why is there always so much laundry - ha ha.

I would have been terrified if the Stake Pres. came into a lesson I was teaching - our Stake Pres. is a little intimidating anyway :-D So good job to you!

I like the hair. Looks great!

Your hair = fabulous!

And I can never fix mine as cute as my stylist does either.
