Stating the Obvious
Don't become panic stricken... we are still here. Just not much whit to share these days.
But I do have a bit of a peeve if you will. I hate when people state the obvious to me. I have to say that on an average outing with the kids I get at least 3 comments on Trents hair. Yes, I know my kids are cute and I am not counting actual compliments. I am speaking of when someone comes up to us and says "He's got really curly hair!" I feel like saying "Really! I hadn't noticed" I am not sure if these people are complimenting it or if they had nothing nice to say so just stated the obvious. Or did they just say it to hear themselves talk. But never has someone said to Joseph "boy you have straight hair" I have received a few "two boys huh?" again "Really, I hadn't noticed" Is there something wrong with having two boys? I don't think so, I personally love it. Just as much as I love my kids hair.
Why do people state the obvious. I would never walk up to someone excessivly large and say "Your overweight" I am sure the are well aware and have their own feelings about it.
The second thing I tend to not understand so much is after people. "wow, curly hair" they go on to say "must have got that from your daddy" ARE you kidding me?! I could understand if I took the time to straighten my hair on a regular basis but I don't. I have a nasty, nasty afro most days. *sigh* My kids are complete replicas of thier Dad and I do enjoy that. But when Trents hair actually grew and it was so curly I was happy that he had some resemblence of me. I had wondered how much maternity tests cost because as much as I remember labour & delivery there was no resemblence of me.
I guess I just have better things to do with my time than state the obvious. If I didn't I might say. "End of Blog Now"

hi Jess!!! :bighug: i have missed you! I came to catch up while i'm in bed resting. I TOTALLY know what you mean about those stating the obvious. why don't they say- i LOVE his curls? or- is having two boys as great as it looks? I totally know this feeling. UGH. And yes, my kid is his father. but- he TOTALLY has my family hair pattern, and I love that he's like me too! I also see it in his behavior, but it's nice to have something more visible too.
(((HUGS))) thanks for the prayers and thoughts hon, right back atcha-
love,
shana

OMG... I know exactly what you mean... people do that all the time with Maigen... "wow her hair is long" really... hmm funny because even though I'm the one who spends 20 minutes fighting with her to brush it every morning I hadn't noticed." Duh people!

Forgot to add that Trent looks so much like you -- I'm thinking of the pictue of you in the frame with the bronzed baby shoes that you're parents always had on display.
