Ok, I am usually really up on the hair thing, but I am a mess right now. I was doing the graduated bob thing. Apparently so is everyone else, soI find that annoying. Not to mention, I think it's a pain in the butt to maintain and style...not too many options with it. Not to mention I have't had anything done to my hair since Feb.2 so it is just a mess...so unlike me to neglect it this way!
Anyway, help me out. I want some sort of bang. Should I got for style #1 which is shorter? Or style number two,which is basically what I have now, but with bangs.
The shorter is soooo cute. But the medium could grow and it would be an easy summer style. What do you think?????
Style #1: see photo
Style #2: See link (it's style number 4...and not that hideous color)

So Scott spent his first week in Ft.Worth at the Budget Suites. And other than having to take cover with his precious truck during a potentially very dangerous storm on Thursday, he had a great week. He is already hitting the jobsites an doing as well as everyone knew he could! So far he loves it. But we are all looking forward to selling this house and living together in Ft. Worth in a new house!
The kids and I managed to keep the house "showable" all week long, which is one of my biggest accomplishments in life. We all missed daddy,but did well at home alone. Marcus stepped up as the man of the house during the week, which is pretty cool.
Scott is home this weekend, but next weekend we plan on going up there to check out new houses.
I have applied to a few districts up there and am waiting for responses.

Amy had ten things Tuesday...couldn't think of anything catchy, but here's some exciting news from the Elliott house and a few other random thoughts.

If you have HBO or know anyone that does, you have to watch the Autistic Musical. I thought it was a joke at first...but it's really neat. A lady in California got a group of autistic kids together and created a musical with them. They went into a lot of background info about each kid. It was very enlightening.
Partway into it there was a kid acting like Payton...but of course she's two so that's her reason...Scott said "Payton, do you have Autism?" To which she immediately replied "No, I have PIZZA." She was eating pizza at the time. I thought that was hilarious.

I got a shocking call from my principal on Sunday afternoon. Dorothy, one of my students I have taught for two years, died in her sleep on Saturday night. She had apparently had a seizure and her parents found her on the floor. The whole family went to Easter mass Sunday morning where this announcement was made to the church. I was shocked, to say the least. Dorothy and I had a special relationship. She was diagnosed with Sodos Syndrome shortly after she was born. She had many challenges, including being very large and impulsive. These were the obvious things that you noticed about her daily. Teaching her was always a challenge, but her family was amazing and so was she...so it was always equally as rewarding. This has been a really difficult week for me. We had to face class on Monday without her. Seeing high school kids deal with it is tough. I also had to face the parents and go to the viewing and the funeral yesterday. I just didn't even want to get up this morning because I was completely worn out.
