Ok. This picture is out of order but I had to post it for everyone to see. I had my hair done today. But after volunteering at V.B.S tonight it got a bit messy and I look extremely exhausted. Nonetheless, it is to keep y'all updated. I needed it so bad. A hair cut, color and a break. A friend popped over at 1:30 and asked to take all 3 of my kids. Yes ALL 3. I was nervous to let Cam go but I figured 1 sleepless afternoon would't hurt her. Plus I did let her take Abbey at this age because of the difficult pregnancy I was trying to get through at the time. Did I mention I was desperate?? No, she is sweet and I often say I would pay her to live w/us and help if I could afford it. She has no kids yet. Anyhow they went to the zoo. She loved the fact that I dressed all 3 kids alike so she could find them in the crowd. Hmm.. so my obsession is good for something?? I only had to deliberate 2 seconds before I grabbed my shoes and purse and went directly to the "SPA". Whoo-hoo. I have been wanting to go w/absolutely no time to spare. It gets better. She called me when my hair was almost finished. At that point I was getting stressed because I feel guilty when anyone volunteers to take my kids. I am so used to being w/them. Even 2 people I ran into asked, "where are your kids"??. Back to the story, she said, "can I keep them for supper"? She felt almost bad asking me. I'm thinkgin Yes, now I have time to hit the gym. I did. Then came home and took a bath. And jetted off to vbs. I am working at the Marketplace this week. I am teaching the pottery booth. Yeah-Yeah don't laugh to hard. It was a great afternoon. God is so GOOD to me. He knows my deepest needs.

Hopefully, I will get more done on saturday. A massage, sauna, spray tan, pedicure, manicure, make-up and lunch all w/a friend of mine. Don't be to jealous though this almost never happens. But after all a girl only turns

30 once!!!!


~Love, Des~

Ps. The funds all the kids raised this week at vbs will be sent to an orphanage in nicaragua. Which is normal. We send $ and food. But the cool thing was tonight we had a live-feed via internet w/them. They sang to our kids and we yelled back at them. It was loud in there. But isn't that awesome we got to see who our efforts would directly affect. Awesome!
