It's Just Another Manic Monday...

Alright, I am totally being melodramatic there... I know, hard to believe, coming from me.

However, it was a busier than usual day, even for a Monday, but in a totally good way. For one, I got to go shopping. And I got the kids' their hair cut. AND I got a new book. Oh! And I had take-out from one of my all time favorite places, ever, for lunch.  Which I can't tell you the name of because I can't remember. But they serve some mighty fine Greek food, and today I had a falafel. Mmmm mmmm mmmm. It was purdy good.

So I have been planning on buying the kids new comforters and bed sheets for when we move next month (keep your fingers crossed, kiddos, that all goes through). I figured I would buy them one or two at a time, and today I made a start of it. I bought one for Alpha, and the coordinating sheets, and then Delta's, which was a bed-in-a-bag. Even better, Delta's was ON SALE. She had picked that particular one a few months ago, and when I went to check it out, I noticed that it was on clearance. At twenty bucks LESS than it had been originally. Um, yeah. No brainer. I snatched that bad boy up, took it the register, and with the mere swipe of my card, a few pokes at the keypad, the bed-in-a-bag became MINE ALL MINE.

Well. It became Delta's, really.

And Alpha's... her's too.

All in all I got a good deal. I love me a good deal!!

So. Then I headed over to B&N to purchase me a new book. Because I am SO book deprived. Like, totally and utterly. As in, I have less than nine on my waiting til I get to 'em list. You should so totally feel sorry for me.

Alright. The book I wound up getting is by Lisa See... and it's called Peony in Love. I've only read one other of her books, Snow Flower and The Secret Fan, and it was simply, beautiful. So I am very much looking forward to reading this one, too. I started it, and so far, so good. But I had to put it down because I'm reading three other books right now, and I really want to get through them! *List at the bottom

Anyway, then I had to go and collect yonder children from school. And I had planned on taking Delta to get her hair cut, but once there, just decided to go ahead and get Beta's hair cut, too. And after I picked The Man up from work, we took Cappa to the Barber to get his done, as well.

The cuts all turned out pretty cute, I'd say...

Observe:

Beta (she's totally making a weird face in this pic... for whatever reason, I decided to take the pics during dinner)

Alright, I don't normally do this, but you know what? I have a VERY handsome son. I mean, he is a total cutie. I know, I know, braggart (see Kim, me too *wink*) am I!

And Delta. I have no clue where that blonde hair comes from. Both her pops and I are brunettes (are men brunettes? Hmmm, something to ponder...). And our families are all dark haired. Go figure, weird, rouge genes, right?

Alpha did NOT get a hair cut today... she just likes to be online (haha). And ignore the messy burrito she is eating. Just totally ignore it. It's to the left of the pic, by her elbow. Yeah, that. Don't look at that.

And lastly, we went and got take out for dinner. I KNOW, healthy and nutritious it is NOT. But I had been go-go-go all day, and Cappa's hair cut took a lot longer than expected, so Taco Bell it was.

Yeah, I had take-out for lunch AND dinner. I would feel totally guilty if... um... well, the truth is, I wouldn't and I don't so neener neener nanny nanny boo boo!!

And so, in conclusion, that is, as they say, THAT.
