Oh dear....

My how the emails pour in at a mention of a tattoo. You would think I was contemplating selling one of my children on Ebay or something. I love my family. It's good to know that I have people who love me and look out for my best interest. At 19 when I got my first tattoo I probably would have gotten all defensive and declared, "I've made up my mind! Stop trying to force your beliefs on me!" LOL. Not now. I'm much too grown to misunderstand genuine love for pushiness. Does that mean I have been convinced that I should make my decision according to what others think is appropriate? Not so much. But I am very proud of myself for recognizing that my father's urging and such simply comes from a place of love and concern. I suppose that is something I can credit to being a parent myself now. On a side note.....I have been doing some tattoo research on the internet. HA HA HA HA is my response to some of the things I've seen. From memorial tattoo's for a cat (really!?) to an "I'd rather be dead than cool" belly tattoo....I've seen too much.

In other news......last night I walked up behind Macy while she was playing pretend. She was potty training her Polly Pocket. It was adorable. She is such a little mother. She has a doll she named Gracie. It has taken the place of that icky pacifier which we have finally banished!!!! She is such a gentle loving little girl.

Caden seems to be doing well in preschool this year. I do not like his teacher too much. Not for any particular reason. She's just kinda cranky and not exactly my type of person. I don't suppose that makes her a bad teacher though so I am not going to worry about it. The director on the other hand is really frustrating me. She speaks down to me as though I'm a child (which I already get enough of thank you) and always finds a way to make me feel incompetent. I'm afraid that if she keeps being rude, seemingly on purpose, I will have to find another preschool. That is all to be determined later though. *Sigh* Caden is turning 4 and I do not like this. He might as well be married with his own family living 3 states away. Ugh.
