Monday Monday

Well I took a week off last week of exercising so I went for my run today! This is the ultimate love/hate relationship I have. I HATE running ARGH....but my body and my mind seem to enjoy it! It's like JambaJuice. I mean the stuff is so healthy for you with the fruit and the nuts but then they serve it in Styrofoam containers that are BAD for the environment. Why can't things be easy? ha ha ha I had to keep an eye on Phoenix last night while Mom took Dad to the airport-he's off to Vegas for a week. He did pretty good till he decided he wanted a snack and was caught eating the toothpaste out of the tube like it was cake icing. So I pointed out the warning label and explained what poisoning was and what they do in the hospital-pump the stomach. Not sure if he got all that-he's 7-but I told him that I better not see him doing that again and not to do it! Well this morning I catch him asking Mom to read the warning label on the toothpaste, guess he thinks his Auntie is a big fat lyer! He so sneaky...I just got back from my run when he did this and when he saw me I could tell he was surprised that I was there and heard everything he said!
I guess all kids think they are fooling the adults-granted some do. I mean Phoenix fools a lot of people when we are out and about, the people that don't "know" him. So that's frustrating but he doesn't fool the adults in this family! He tries and tries but it never seems to work out for him:) I totally see how Chris and Anna have their hands full with him, and to have 2 boys like that! OMG-Lord help them! But where there is a will there is a way....and that's that.
Amika flat iron update: yesterday I attempted to use it before going to church but I was in a time constraint and didn't have time to do my whole head so I ended up just putting in a bun. If anyone else tells me that my whole head can be done in 5 min. with whatever gadget I'm going to shoot them! So, maybe I'll try it this morning after I shower. I'm just doing laundry today-nothing pressing. But I will say the one thing I do like about it is that it can be used on wet hair:) Talk about time saver there! So...more to come on that gadget.
Phoenix started summer school today:) It's only for half a day but it's still a good thing for all! I get to watch him this afternoon for a little bit cuz Mom has a dr. apt. So I get to see what new sneaky thing he has up his sleeve:)
