I keep thinking that maybe we have reached the end of all the weird gross stuff that Bailee does. because we've done just about all of it. What else could there be.......right ? WRONG!!!!!
I am starting to think this is just the beginning. I thought having to retrieve my ring after she swallowed it was bad, which is was, but not as gross as what she did today.
Picture standing outside of a public bathroom stall, waiting for your child to do her thing (I've started letting her go in by herself because she has been doing really well, but I'm reconsidering that now), and then hearing things dropping onto the floor. Then you hear that evil Bailee giggle, which usually means she has found something really gross or doing something really notty. When I look on the floor I am surprised at what I find................used tampons, tampon applicators, wrappers and who knows what else. When I open the door I find her with a wrapped up used pad that she is trying to open up. So disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to admit I considered leaving the stuff on the floor and running, but my conscience wouldn't let me do that.
What Bailee and I need now is a boiling hot shower to kill all the germs, followed by soaking in a bath filled with hand sanitizer, and then maybe some therapy :)

Brrrr.........
I love the look on her face
I tried to cover up as much as I could, but this has future blackmail written all over it :)
She's so vain.
What a little hottie!!
The kids decided to play dress-up, and this is what they chose, like I said Brrrr.

Eat, drink and be merry!!
Joel has been on an alcohol kick lately, and it all started with a church movie.
We were watching one of the Living Scripture movies, and in it there were people eating, drinking and being merry. So Joel asked what they were drinking and we told him it was alcohol. We also explained to him how bad it was and that we should never drink it.
Well Justin took Joel to the store and decided that he wanted to get some Sparkling Cider. Now Joel who had recently learned about alcohol said, "Dad you can't buy that, it is alcohol, it will hurt your tummy." Justin explained to him that it was apple juice, and that it just looked like an alcohol bottle,then took him over and showed him what the real stuff looked like. But of course later when we opened the bottle to drink it, Joel doesn't ask for apple juice, he asks for some alcohol.
I was hoping he was over his newly found obsession, but the next time we went shopping and we passed the aisles and aisles of alcohol, Joel loudly states,
"MOM LETS BUY SOME MORE ALCOHOL!!!"
I don't think he's getting it. Darn those Living Scripture movies.

Standing up for what you believe in!!
While talking to my mom last night I found something out that kind of troubled me. So I need to vent a little.
My mom attended a school board meeting to decide whether or not the high school would be allowed to put on a certain play. I'm not sure what the name of the play is, but I do know that it was written by Steve Martin, and on the script it actually says, CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. From what I understand there is inappropriate sexual stuff in the script. Well an LDS girl who had gotten a part in the play, after reading the full script, took it to the superintendent, he read through it, the decided that it wasn't appropriate and canceled it. You think it would end there, but what happened next shocked me. The principal of the high school and a teacher petitioned it. They wanted it to continue because they felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and it would be a good learning experience for the kids. The sad thing is several board members and lots of parents and people in the community agreed with them. When it was discussed that they could keep the play if the inappropiate parts were removed, people were angry, saying that certain religious belief were being forced on them and the newspaper backed them up. Where have our societies values gone?
Luckily the play was canceled, but I couldn't believe that people would fight to keep it. I am glad that one girl had the courage to stand up and say "this isn't right". She has set a great example and has motivated several people to speak out. We need more people like her to make hard choices and do the right thing.
