rainy tuesday...

i'm actually enjoying the rain this morning....it's nice to wake up to a cool, crisp morning, with just a slight drizzle coming down outside....everything all washed & new after an all night rain

[peonies in our backyard - thx nana for clearing that one up ~lol~]

jaden finally got trimmed up last night - his mohawk was starting to disappear into his unshaven sides....i tell ya, it's so hard to get it even, with all those curls! they lay in every which direction & make it very hard to shave a straight line....i guess that's why i'm not always on top of giving him a trim....but i got it last night - and he loves it....he says "it's getting taller now ma!"


jaden did have one special request this time....he asked that i add his "dragon star" on the side.....apparently, the star is some sort of button - when he pushes it, he turns into a dragon! ;0) i hesitated, not wanting it to look like we've carved some sort of gang sign into our son's head....but then i figured, what the hay?! it's just a star - not a swastika.....and no, it's not my best work - i'm no barber....but he's happy with it - and isn't that all that matters? [ps. i do set limitations....he also asked for a diamond on the other side & an Eragon "E" on his forehead (the dragon rider symbol - not sure how i'd pull that one off anyway)....but i told him he had to pick just ONE & he chose the dragon star]


oh! and i totally forgot to tell u guys....we didn't win the lottery on friday - i know, i know, u're all shocked! ~lol~ no, gabby's numbers didn't will us the $196 million dollar jackpot....we got 2 of the winning numbers right, but not the mega ball - and apparently, that's key ~lol~....but hey, that's okay - we're still very rich!!!


Psalms 112: 1 Praise the Lord. 2 His children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. 5 Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. 6 Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. 7 He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his foes. 9 He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor. 10 The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
